As Klara showed up, Vinca this time he began speaking in Rodian. "Keena chuada intica pooani poodoo rantaka." He laughed under his breath. Rodian was a differen language to Huttese, but it shared the same syntax and enough of the same verbage for someone who understood Huttese to realize that he had probably just insulted them in a singsong 'I can say whatever i want because you are too ignorant to know what i'm saying' sort of way. He then went back to pretending to be ignorant himself by continuing his sales pitch in Huttese "Greetings oh weary traveller to the great bazaar of Vinca, where only the finest of goods and services can be bought for bargain bin prices and it's a treat every time you come because Vinca ALWAYS has something a little different, but equally worth the trip and the price. We currently have a number of Droid Motivators in stock, along with farming parts for fixing everything from Moisture Vaporators to Sienar brand crop sewers and dusters. Even some good old fashioned Pesticides. And even if you aren't a farmer, Vinca guarentee you know a farmer or two who pays upward of 500 credits for any one of these parts or equipment. Well, Farmers are the backbone of our society and so Vinca will sell you anything you see here for a mere 250 credits a pop. You sell it to your farmer friends for 400 credits a pop and boom, everyone wins! So, what are you in the market for? As Vinca said, Vinca may not have what you need right now, but Vinca always comes back with something distinguished people like yourselves may want."

Daro was in one of the higher ends of the skyline. Not exactly the fabulously rich end, but slightly better off than the regulars. Good enough to have a ship landing space. Outside of the apartment complex was a small series of landing pads with all kinds of speeders and starships parked. One was indeed the Theta-class shuttle sat with its wings folded up. Nobody was immediately arround, so Tavitri could either approach the apartment to talk straight to Vancil or inspect the shuttle first without any real problems.

@Varshanka Is Twitch having a Vietnam Flashback? Because i assure you there are no random Anti-Empire riots breaking out here. Planets further from the core are, but Hasiki is better described as a Cold War situation. There are definitely sentiments here, but the Imperial Garrison is too lax and underperforming in their "Jackboot to Throat" Duties to really stir anything up. Hasiki's citizens get on with their lives and the Garrison sits back, breaks up the odd mugging or bar-room brawl and rakes in the cash from doing the bare minimum. If anything, the laxness of the Garrison is the main reason why there aren't any real Rebellion flare-ups. Rebels can do whatever they need to without the Garrison doing too much to stop them, but this comes at the cost to the Rebellion that they aren't really rallying the citizens of Hasiki to their side, becasue nobody is particularly bothered with changing the status quo.

Nobody is feeling any squeeze, so nobody wants to change anything. I mean, sure, the Garrison WANTS more money and the Rebellion WANT the people to rise up, but both sides are kinda reliant on the other making a move that is detremental to them in the short term, so neither side really wants to.

@MacabreMoth Absolutely, if you want to approach.

@rush99999 Vinca's ships was a YV-865 Aurore-class freighter and was in one of the docks. As Vanovar approached the businessman, the Rodian seemed to be looking through a box of fairly brand new looking mechanical parts, but looked up as the Anzat approached him. He addressed the Inquisitor, clearly not understanding who he was. From his tone, he seemed to be slipping into his best salesman voice. "Haku do Jee-jee hae Wata? Du Beeyada? Jee-jee ar jukasha Ta geda engiannig gessida!" It was clear he was speaking Huttese, sadly a language Vanovar didn't speak.

@Varshanka So, Gather Information of 18 doesn't reveal any new information. Still just talking about Vinca Rumen's new shipments of the good stuff at low prices.

And with a Use Computers of 9, you aren't able to actually slice into their network in any meaningful way.

@rush99999 You're the Government, as soon as you have a name, you can easily look up an address.

So, where is everyone on their posts? I've given you some people to go talk to. Who's gonna be the one to initiate the awkward "So i hear you're going to the Hague!" conversations?

Ultimate One Universe: Emergence

Just a short post to get the Lanterns into New York in set up for the event.

The Lanterns

The Bus, Above the Atlantic

Hal sat at he table in the meeting room, Sinestro, May and Dex sat at the table. They had been called to meet with the Director. The silhouette of the Director appeared on the screen. "Greetings Lanterns and Agent May." The voice distorted voice came through the speakers. "I assume you've seen the news?" May looked at Hal and Sinestro, both shrugging back at her. Dex continued to sit as a loaf, not particularly caring about news. The video of Gordon Godfrey showed up talking about Boliver Trask and Tony Stark having both gone missing. Although for some reason he kept calling him Tony Trask.

"Oh no..." Hal didn't particularly know how to feel about this. On the one hand, Trask was a genius, as was Stark. This was a tragedy... On the otherhand, Jordon had also disappeared, that wasn't such a bad thing... No that was too mean. He was a Military man just like him. He wanted him dishonorably discharged after being caught with the Admirals ugly daughter and forced to marry her. Not dead. "So, we being sent after them?"

"Not at this time, no... But a number of S.H.I.E.L.D.s computers are Trask and with them getting hacked, we are shutting down all of the computers with any chance of being infiltrated. This does mean that analyzing the data you gathered is going to take longer. And until your data is fully analyzed, all we can do is wait for the next Ring attack. Sinestro, is there any chance this has something to do with Ronan?" Sinestro sat back in his chair.

"Doubtful. Trask is a genius by human standards, but that's rather pathetic as far as the galactic community is concerned. No offense intended. That being said, it's not ENTIRELY out of the realm of possibility. Perhaps he has been taken to serve as an expert on your planet." He shook his head. "No, it doesn't make any sense. Ronan is not the studying type. If he plans to attack the planet, he will come in force and make sure the entire galaxy is watching his conquest. He is not a man who does things in half measures or slinking about in the shadows."

"How do you explain Deaths Head?" Fury asked.

"Most likely a scouting force, probing attack. If Deaths Head can get a message back to Ronan, he'll confirm we are here and that we number just 3. If that happens, he will no doubt come for us immediately. That being said. Deaths Head will have probably radio'd his coordinates before arrival. Meaning that once he is overdue on an update. Ronan will probably send a second bounty hunter or scout to confirm why he lost contact. And if that scout confirms our pressence and then immediately reports back to Ronan..."

"Invasion... What time frame are we looking at?" Fury asked.

"Impossible to say. A day, a week, a month, maybe even a year. Depends on if Deaths Head is here for the general bounty alert or if he was specifically sent here by Ronan. Deaths Head won't talk. We may have defeated him, but he's not going to give up an employer. It's why he's so respected in his field. All we can do is keep him imprisoned until he inevitably finds a way to escape."

"I don't think you give S.H.I.E.L.D. enough credit. With the recent... Circumstances... We have been forced to create some rather interesting jail cells. Including one for a creature with 100x the strength of an alien cyborg." May replied. "What makes you think he is going anywhere?"

"Agent May, Deaths Head is not just a blunt instrument, he is a genius escape artist. Some of the most infalible prisons in the universe failed to keep him indefinitely. It may take him time, but he will find a way out."

"In any case, i'm going to have him moved to one of the Green Cells." Fury stated. "It's the strongest one we have. Order your pilots to divert course to New York. My men will be there to meet you. In the meantime, get from Deaths Head any information you can and do not let him get loose."
