Jorus agrees to a mercy mission for Dr Corr Harrik, a young doctor who has expensive medicines he wants to urgently get to Zan'tor. During the meeting he draws a circle of beer on the table waiting to see how Jorus reacts. Jorus thinks it a little odd but doesn't think much of it. Jorus agrees to the mission and Corr gives him a code cylinder with landing codes and precises co-ordinates and a time to be at that location. He goes and tells the others.
Whist Aayla does her best to lay a good cover for the ship (tweaking the transponder, dampening any unwanted signals etc) for when they head into Chibavaa space, he is encouraged by Val who doesn't actually do any work him self but is very supportive. Lorne practices with his spear, having given his shield away in a noble gesture.
Captain Heb We'ze comes to inspect the ship with his S8 Series Security droids. He is shown around by Val. The Crew are fined for not having a valid licence for the mining M27 mining droids but Val does a good job distracting the RiftCo security captain from any thing mor damaging.
The crew head to Chibava in time to make the appointed rendezvous. Lorne gets to see the home of his enemy for the first time, it is not the horrid cesspit he expected. The see several type four container transports shipping goods out of Rift along with myriad other commercial and civilian traffic. The see the vast orbital space stantion Terminus Jumpoint. Lorne openly contemplates the idea of destroying it and freeing the rift.
On approach to the surface Of Chibavaa the crew are contacted by a RiftCo Custom & Excise Patrol cruiser and after a back on forth with Val the ship, under the GX-1 transponder if fined for lacking several necessary permits. Sharing the landing Codes given by Corr also helps get them past as they are apparently on the way to see a VIP. The Longhorn goes on it's way but there are now outstanding fines on the GX-1 transponder. The are advised not to approach Chibavaa during the celebrations, Val asks what Celebrations and is told it is Carnival Week, he had completely overlooked that having been away from home for so long.
The Longhorn continues to the landing co-ordinates and is pinged for entering private air space. After transmitting the codes given by Corr they follow a narrow permitted approach route to an island where a golden sandy beach backed by palm trees meet a tranquil ocean. High on a rocky cape an exceptional circular building lit with tasteful night lights, dramatically juts out over the sea. Aayla manoeuvres the Longhorn over the luxurious building to a circular landing pad on the other side of the cape which clings to the rock face at perpendicular angle. She notices a second smaller pad perhaps for an airspeeder or shuttle is set a little further along the cliff. It is currently empty. The lights on the building and landing pad a are dim. The crew leave the ship and begin to wonder if they are in the wrong place. At 11:30 local time an entrance door opens in the cliff face near the main hanger door (that remains closed), Corr comes out and meets the Crew. He asks them to follow him and leads them deep in to the opulent building.
The inside of the building clearly set out over several floors is on a radial pattern with circular corridors joining the spokes together, the layout of the building is not regular not all corridors intersect and where larger rooms or open spaces are located you can not always take the most direct route. The most striking corridors are the ones on the outer edge of the building that offer majestic views of the starlit beaches, dramatic islets and the rolling waves far below. Expensive sculptures and art in all sizes addorns both. The collector appears to appreciate both tasteful struggle and the naked form of many races. Though humans and near-humans seem most popular, Twi'leks seem to be a particular fancy.
Val asks who owns the building and Corr explains that
It is his place of work. Corr has decided that I need a new challenge. These medicines and equipment will be coming with me, as they belong to him. Now that he is relocating.
He says his boss, one Hervé Kazimir-Caalagene is currently away (at the Carnival Week parties in Chibivaa City). Most of the security are either with him or have been given the night off. I felt it was best to leave when it was quiet, Jorus believes he is telling the truth about this.
As they get closer to their destination they enter a a curved corridor gallery of collected Marauder artifacts, ossuary containing marked Inheritor skull and bones (that should have been left at it's resting place), dozens of shard glass daggers, javelins and spears arranged in wall mounted displays. Lorne is mortified. He immediately begins to set about taking back what ever he can. Corr panickily tells him he will set off alarms and bring the Estates private security to investigate. Lorne does not care. After Corr apeals to jorus that they will miss their window to get the drugs (Corr says they have 15 minutes) Aayla will stay behind to try and deactivate the alarms and Lorne. The other will go with Corr and as they will come back this way they can use the sleds to collect more artifacts, or, at least that's what Lorne thinks. Lorne remarks Aayla is his only true friend.
Val, Lorn, Jorus and Corr arrive at the Doctors 'office', a large lushly appointed space with a consultation area, a treatment area and even a private surgery, there are expensive medical devices and scanners that would not seem out of place in a large hospital. No expense has been spared. From there they need to take the four repulsor sleds carrying the medicine to the ship. The creates vary in size and shape the largest being two meters long, about 50cm in height and about a meter across. The other crates share at least one dimension but are otherwise smaller. Corr immediately grabs one of them (the one with the largest crate on it) "Swiftly now" he says beginning to push the repulsor sled.
