Pushing the repulsor sleds stacked with medical supply crates, Val, Jorus and Corr return with haste to Aayla. On the way Corr nearly runs over a domed cleaning droid with his sled.
Meanwhile back at the "Marauder cultural display" Aayla deftly disables the security with the right tools from her belt and a little birghtgum to connect the contacts. She takes down the security sensors on the whole exhibit. When Corr and the rest of the crew arrive the Longhorn crew quickly stack the Inheritor artifacts on the crates and then move as fast as they can to the landing pad. They make it, with it only a few minutes to midnight, Corr's deadline for them to leave.
Choosing to keep a low profile Aayla pilots the Longhorn out the same way as they came in, through the winding flight path between the islands and out of private air space. Then she begins to climb to orbit careful not to do anything that might attract undue attention.
The medical cargo is secured in the hold, Jorus and Val note that Corr checks the cargo on his sled again, the one with the largest crate. The repulsor sleds are deactivated. The Shardglass weapons are placed the smuggling compartment in the hold and Lorne takes the Ossuary to his quarters.
As they break Orbit the Longhorn is contacted by the same RiftCo Custom & Excise Patrol cruiser as earlier, complaining they still don't have the right permits and they are not on the way to a RiftCo facility. Val buys Aayla with a back and forth with the RiftCo pilot. Lorne sees the cruiser closing on them fast, with it's little cloud of Droid fighters deployed from his view in the Ion turret. Aayla flies casua and the Longhorn is able to reach it's jump point before it is intercepted. The Longhorn gets away clean. Much to the relief of a nervous Corr.
The crew become more suspicious of Corr, whilst Val distracts Corr in the mess with his social skills Aayla and Jorus head to the cargo hold. Talking to Corr Val learns that:
Getting the medicines to Zan'tor is very important to Corr. His family comes from Zan'tor and the medicines could really help them and the people on Zan'tor. Although Val thinks this is true he also picks up that Val may have another motivation that he is not sharing.
Corr was educated on Buallaba and then went on to studied out of sector at the Bellorin Medical Academy on a scholarship, but his is originally from Zan'tor.
Val suspects Corr's posh accent is likely a learned affectation to cover his poor origins.
Aayla and Jorus beginning removing the crates from the sled with the largest crate on it. When they reach the large crate they open it only to find a carbonite block with the closed eyed figure of a Twi'lek embeded in it. She lays flat her arms down by her side. From her body language Jorus observes that he actually looks pretty serene for someone frozen in Carbonite and his concludes that perhaps Corr drugged her before freezing her.
Aayla, unimpressed with this surprise cargo stars the dethawing process.
The noise in the cargo bay is heard in the Mess and Corr comes to investigate, Val goes after him and they both pass Lorne's quarters where he has been studying the Ossury. Lorne follows them to find out what is going on.
In the hold Corr sees the thawing carbonite and grabs a blaster pistol from another crate. Lorne smacks it out of his hand and puts him into a hold.
The Twilek comes round, there is commotion as Aayla and the others demand answers.
Corr begs to treat the Twi'lek and make sure she is ok. Jorus is confident his administrations is genuine. Corr explains that the Twi'lek is an indentured servant belonging to his former employer. The Crew ease of a bit and after the Twi'lek hugs Corr and it becomes clear the two are clearly friendly with each other the crew and their passengers all make their way to the mess. Where Corr tells them everything:
The Twi'lek's name is Sharj Hatti.
Sharj is an indentured servant. - essentially a slave collected by Hervé kazimir-Caalagene (Corr's employer) for her dancing skills, she is his unwilling entertainer and play thing.
Corr and Sharj confess they are in love
Corr and Sharj know that Kasimir plays both sides of the law; As well as his RiftCo connections he also works with a criminal group,
Corr knows there secret greeting, a circle with an Aurubesh V. He tried this when he met the PCs.
Jorus recognises this as the greeting of a mysterious criminal group know as the Vorban Rings.
Corr has put together this plan over the last six months. Their Plan is to get to Zan'tor City. Corr has contacted his younger brother there. They will go to see his aged mother and introduce his new bride.
When he was formulating the plan to get Sharj out he contacted his brother for help.
Corr hasn't seen his brother or his mother since he won a scholarship for offworld education aged 10. He continued to win scholarships and he never went back, until now. He only reached out to his brother recently as he had no where else to turn.
He understands his brother has made something of him self and runs a local business on Zan'tor.
His brother has managed to get them forged passes to leave the shattered rift.
The Medicines are to be exchanged for the Forgeries, Corr's brother has told him he has arranged for them to go to those in need in return a contact of his brother's a retired forger he knows is marking the passes.
One they have passes, one for Corr and one for cargo (for a frozen Sharj. That's now useless though as she is unfrozen and Corr and Sharj don't think they can get Sharj through Terminus jump point as a passanger, she'll be arrested and returned to Hervé kazimir-Caalagene .
They had planned to return to Buallaba and get a civillian transport under the false documents and leave the Rift. This plan is now in jeperdy as Sharj is unfrozen.
Corr also tells them that Hervé kazimir-Caalagene has had many playthings, that was Corr's job to keep them and Hervé kazimir-Caalagene healthy, that's why there was all the medical equipment.
Corr tells the crew there In a secret area of the mansion there is circular room where a dozen other playthings that Hervé kazimir-Caalagene has got bored of have been frozen in carbonite and hung on display he didn't want Sharj to suffer the same fate to become some old mans sick art display for all time.
The Crew, much to the relief of the couple agree to help them.
Val, Jorus, Aayla and Lorne discuss a desire to return to the mansion and rescue the frozen prisoners. Lorne stats clearly his desire to kill this Hervé kazimir-Caalagene.
