[Solved] The Proposition

In the offices of the Lothal Mining Co-Operative. 1 hour after long-range communications shutdown.

The Twi'lek in the white dress greeted us warmly at the door and sat down between the man at the desk and ourselves. Our intel suggested that while the man wasn't the leader of the Mining Co-Op in any official capacity, he was effectively what bound all of the planet's mining companies together. If we could get him on side, the transition of power would go down a lot smoother with the rest of Lothal's businessmen and industrialists. My commanding officer, Major Varless told me my training wouldn't serve me on this mission. We left our blasters on the ship and removed any clothing that would betray our connection to the SCS.

The man at the desk thanked the senators as they got up to leave. The Twi'lek stayed seated.

"Gentlemen, are those cases for ME?" said the man charismatically.

"I see you get right to the point Mister..." remarked Major Varless.

"...Drebble" the man cut in.

Major Varless smiled. That wasn't the name provided by our intel but he pressed on. "This is simply a gift to make your acquaintance...a token of our goodwill."

"Well why didn't you say so" Drebble laughed, sticking out his hand.

The two men shook hands and looked out at the city.

"We're going to make a lot of money together Mr. Drebble." said Major Varless.

"This deal just keeps getting better"
