The droid gives an aproximation of a shrug.
"This is Brentaal we are over. Cargoes come in from all areas of known space to be purchased here and taken elsewhere. I've certainly never met any of you, over the comn or in person. Therefore while I do possess some cargo from all over the Empire, I can safely say none of it is yours."

“A bit of bad luck, the person that was supposed to come to collect it had a run-in with a few white-shells.” Ember said, deciding to cut to the heart of the mater. “She sent us in her place. I believe that this cargo is bound for a certain Senator on Alderaan.”

"Frankly, I do not know where it is bound for, who or why." Switch replied. "That part is not of my concern. But since you are interested in that particular item, I would gladly let you have it for the eminently reasonable sum of one thousand credits."

“A thousand credit’s?” Ember crossed her arms over her chest. “That’s fine, payment upon visual inspection of cargo.” She said. “I do hope that I’m reviving the proper item, I would hate to pick up the wrong thing for those that I represent. It would be most embracing.” She grinned.

"That is not something I can do." The droid said."The Cargo isnt here, as you can quite plainly see. If I had it here, I would have to put up with numerous attempts at armed robbery. Such things annoy me, which is why Ive taken precautions. 1000 credits to let you take your cargo away. That is the deal. Though if you dont have the money, I think I might be able to work out another bargain..."

Jahan cleared her throat softly then spoke.
"If you don't have the cargo here, where is it?" She didn't mention money; she knew she didn't have a thousand credits and it was likely Ember or Roth didn't either. Things were going downhill quickly.

“Don’t worry about the credit’s,” Ember grinded. “I got your credit’s right here.” She reached slowly to her back pocket, pulled out her credit chip with the tips of two fingers, and held it up in front of her for the droids photoreceptors. She red eyes glanced from the Twi'lek thug to the blue and red astromech, to the three bodyguards hiding behind crates that Ember didn’t believe were simply laying haphazardly, but more for providing cover. “The location of the cargo please.”

The droid clicked its manipulator digits together and shook its head.
"Terrible, terrible turn of events. It seems none of you trust me at my word. "Where's the cargo?" "Where's the cargo?". And then you, Zeltron, waving that credit chip before my photoreceptors without bothering to hand it over, expecting me to simply spill its location. I welcome you in, I offer you the finest in inebriating liquids-"
"He has a point there." Roth added. "This stuff is remarkably good."
"-and you continue to act in a rather discourteous manner. So very uncivilized. I'm not sure we can do buisness at all anymore. So very disapointing. And I am sure Maya put such faith in you."
Roth sighed and fumbled around in his pockets for a moment, then placed a credit chit worth 50 on the table.
"Tell us what it is first, if you dont mind." He said. "And if we're still interested, then we'll continue the haggling."
"Oh of course." The droid said, taking the chit. "Money opens many many doors for those who know how to use it. The Cargo I believe you're here for is an Alderaanian Security Agent, frozen in Carbonite. I recently recieved it from the Empress Teta system."

Ember blinked her eyes in surprise at the droids comment about her manners.
“My apologies Switch.” She said, leaning forwards over the wooden deck to hand the chip to the droid.

Switch took the credit chit and, upon checking the amount, gave a nod of approval.
"That is better. Honestly, if I cheated everyone I dealt with without provocation it would be bad for buisness. Now then, I believe we were discussing the carbonite frozen Alderaanian. You will find the cargo in question in the main docking bay on Blue Deck. I will warn you that Blue Deck is where all the Imperial Ships dock. Imperial Loyalists are particularly thick there, though with your male companion here, that possibly would prove less of a problem than initially believed. Caution should be exercised upon retrieving the agent."

“Main docking bay on blue deck huh.” Ember’s eyes looked down at Roth, a smile creeping across her face as an idea started to take shape.
“I think I see where you’re going with this and I think I got an idea about that.”

"Well then, it seems we're all settled." Switch said, clasping his manipulators together. "Any further information or asistance I can provide will naturally possess a fee attached to it."

“Is there a shipping number so we can identify the cargo in case it’s boxed up, or is the carbonite block just sitting out in the open?” Ember asked, digging into her pocket and handing over a fifty-credit chit to Switch.

"You cant miss it." The droid said, refusing the credits. "Its the only carbonite slab in the bay. If there had been a number attatched I would have provided that upon the exchange of the kilocred you recently provided. It would reflect poorly on my buisness if I did not provide you with all the location information of your cargo after you paid for it. I am all about Repeat Buisness after all."

“Thanks Switch.” Ember grinned, placing the credit chit back in her pocket. “And I do believe that wraps up our business, pleasure meeting with you. If I’m back around these parts and in need of something you’ll be first on my list.” She looked at her companions and said.
“We should be going now, people are waiting us. Roth, that datapad have map of Blue Deck on it?”
