| SwitchWelcome to my domain. I am Switch, and this is R5-B8. May I offer you a drink?My services are available to anyone who can pay. Why have you come?SpacersWe have come for the cargo you are keeping for Maya.SwitchI am holding cargo, correct, and you may take it wherever you wish for the eminently reasonable sum of 1,000 credits.SpacersWhile we do not have that much money, here is a deal - we will supply you with information on a regular basis from wherever our travels might take us.SwitchGood. I agree to this deal. The cargo is in the main docking bay on the Blue Deck. It is a section of the station heavily traveled by Imperial loyalists and one of the few places where Imperial ships dock. Let me also tell you that the cargo is a person frozen in carbonite.SpacersA person? Frozen in carbonite? Why?SwitchThis knowledge is worth 200 credits. |

| SwitchAlderaanian Security agent was spying on the Empire’s secret interests in the Deep Core. In the months since the rise of the Empire, hundreds of warships have sealed off the few known trade routes into the Deep Core, only allowing wealthy Imperial loyalists in or out of that region of space. Over the last few months, the Empire has set up the Deep Core Security Zone, and Emperor Palpatine himself has overseen the transfer of large amounts of resources and nobles loyal to the Empire there. The frozen security agent had been scouting one of the dozens of worlds that the Empire had discovered during its recent expansion into the Deep Core.Now, Tell me, what are you going to do with this cargo once you retrieve it?SpacersWe have access to a ship, and we are going to bring it to Alderaan.SwitchYou have a ship? Intriguing. I happen to have my own cargo - a crate of Corellian ale - that is also bound for Alderaan. It is stored in that very same docking bay on the Blue Deck, and it can be easily carried by a single person.SpacersWe can help. How much you are willing to pay for the delivery?SwitchWell, I have even a better offer on the table. Normally, to secure my services as a long-term information ally, I require a down payment of 500 credits. However, I offer a counter-proposal: you deliver my cargo to Alderaan, and I will waive the 500-credit fee.SpacersSo we deliver your cargo for free, and you become our permanent contact for free. That makes us even. Sounds good.SwitchCorrect. We are now partners. Once you arrive on Alderaan, you can deliver the crate without complications, and I will provide the information you need, wherever you may be. |
