Mission with Yamato

[childofrebellion]

Cassian reviews the mission briefing and identicard that he's put together for Yamato. This is the sort of mission that he needs Yamato's skills for, but he wants to insure that Yamato has all of the intel before he agrees to anything.

He sips his caf at the counter as he waits and adjusts some code on his datapad.

"Please do," Yamato replies, settling his hand on his chin and staring out the window.

[childofrebellion]

"Once we're at the hotel, I'll take care of our registration. The hall opens tonight which is a good opportunity to learn the layout. I've marked the vendors I know you prefer to set up appointments. As well as a few talks on improvements that are in the works."

[angry_friendship_wolf]

"Sounds like it'll be a hectic schedule," Yamato notes. "Still, I'm sure we can find something useful while we're there."

[childofrebellion]

"I believe so and I'm also investigating the best way to attend the starfighter race."

[angry_friendship_wolf]

Yamato may crack an excited grin at that, just for a moment.

"Hopefully it'll be a better show than the last one I attended," he says, rather flatly, even though he's still grinning a little. "I swear half of those fellows didn't know how to fly."

[childofrebellion]

"No, they tried but this one should get better pilots."

[angry_friendship_wolf]

"I do hope so. Nothing like watching a good race to get the blood pumping."

[childofrebellion]

"The pilots on Jelucan are meant to be impressive and the routes they fly."

[angry_friendship_wolf]

"The routes? What about them?"

[childofrebellion]

"Interesting rock formations though the air's fairly polluted so that adds to the adventure of any race."

[angry_friendship_wolf]

"Certainly exciting. Perhaps it will be worth my time to watch after all."

[childofrebellion]

"It should be and apparently there are even interesting betting pools on it."

[angry_friendship_wolf]

"Predictable enough. There's hardly any point if no credits are changing hands."

[childofrebellion]

"No, of course not."

An announcement comes over the system to say that they're nearing their destination.

[angry_friendship_wolf]

"Small mercies," Yamato says, with affected weariness, at that announcement. "My bags, Willix, if you would."

[childofrebellion]

"Yes, sir."

There's the strange sensation as they leave hyperspace and Cassian gets the bags as the landing announcement begins including one to keep your identicards at the ready.

[angry_friendship_wolf]

Yamato makes sure he has his identicard to hand, then gives Cassian a quick nod, just to show he's ready.

Since they're about to be heading out to where people can see them, he also dials up that authoritative aura he has again, to maximum 'everyone must obey me immediately' levels.

And Cassian shrinks down as they exit the ship into a busy spaceport. Various speeders are lined up and Cassian spots one connected to the hotel they're staying at.

The speeder takes them to an elegant and busy hotel, which is full of signs for the convention that's nearby. Mainly humans with a few aliens, the Empire has a strong hold on Jelucan but the convention brings them in.

At the desk, Cassian checks them in, it was a clever bit of slicing to get them into this hotel and convention and soon they're led to a suite, not the best but a nice one.

[angry_friendship_wolf]

Yamato scans the suite with the same critical eye that he looked at the compartment with. In this case, though, he's also keeping an eye on all their exits, and any sightlines into and out of the suite.

"Ugh," he announces, eventually. Muttered: "My father will hear about this. It'll do, I suppose."

[childofrebellion]

The suite is close to the exit stairs, technically its a corner which adds to the value, but also limits doors into the space.

The bellman at the door gives a nervous glance to Cassian who says while pressing a few credits into their hand, "Thank you."

As soon as the credits are grasped, the bellman bows themselves out.

[angry_friendship_wolf]

Yamato doesn't watch the exchange, but he's listening intently, and still listening when the bellman bows himself out. If he shuts his eyes, he can even hear the foot traffic outside their room.

He makes sure not to drop character -- not unless Cassian indicates he can -- instead crossing to the window and peering out of it.

[childofrebellion]

Once the door's closed, Cassian pulls out a small sensor from his pocket and starts checking for surveillance in the room.

[angry_friendship_wolf]

Yamato turns his head, just keeping one eye on the sensor as it scans, but otherwise remaining still and silent.

[childofrebellion]

Not too much comes up, a fairly obvious camera droid and then another that's more carefully hidden as well as one that does patrols of the entire building. Cassian points them out to Yamato as well as the convention set up next door.

[angry_friendship_wolf]

No dropping the cover, then. Well, at least it's not too difficult to keep it up.

"How long until the convention starts?"
