With no other personal items to collect from the ship, Eri'anya stays outside.  She checks the card that Marc gave her.  It appeared to be genuine, but one can never be too careful.

Although he wasn't in there long you find one more listening device in the crew lounge area but find nothing in engineering.  The devices discovered appear to be low powered and thus relatively short ranged although there is a good chance there many ways it could be received not that the ship has landed. 

Bringing the surveillance detector to check the Marc's card finds it's giving off a tracking signal although it certainly appears to be what it is supposed to be.  Of course what better way to keep tabs on someone's location than to actually hand them the tracking device assuming they'll want, and hang on to, it.  MAYBE this is just so he'll know where to find you if you call for a meeting like you may put a tracker on a child to keep it from getting lost.

While Dirk's pocket scrambler would be good for any communications device, if there's one on the other end to decode it, it doesn't do a lot to mask face to face communications.

Now you've spent a little longer retracing your steps so you should keep whomever waiting too much longer but what do you wish to do with what you've discovered?

Shev turns to Eri "Still want to meet up with him, Goldy? if so, then rent a room somewhere and leave the card there while we meet with our employer. If not, letīs "forget it" at some vehicle, let it ride around the station or even off-planet."

"Tactically speaking, we should not disappoint our new friend. I think he expects to see you later and we should oblige him. Or find a good reason not too. These ISB guys are worse than crabs... I like your idea to leave the card in a hotel room. Efficient and not suspicious."

Eri'anya smiles.  "I've spent lots of time sidling up to others to find out secrets and information.  Agent Marc would know a great deal about Imperial activity here, and the line I now have on him can be of use to us.  I agree about the card, we can't let it compromise us.  In any event, maybe we should get some tracking and surveillance devices of our own ready."

Having discovered a couple listening devices on the ship you quietly notify the captain of them as a warning and so that they could be removed more "casually" later.  You also take that opportunity to leave Lt. Marc's calling card with the ship captain as he's not going too far and can keep it "active" as needed; staying with your ship happens all the time granted the Roundup may be here a bit longer than it originally hoped for so maybe the crew will try to find better accommodations.  While you may be ditching active surveillance directly tied to you this is an Imperial controlled settlement.

Travelling light the group doesn't have its own surveillance equipment to use outside of setting up some backdoors into the sensors that watch the ship.  The cargo onboard that is destined for your employer isn't readily identifiable; hidden in plain sight is an idea that comes to mind.  Just another container with normal stuff in a sea of other containers containing normal stuff.

Eri'anya should note that the group's arrival is a bit behind schedule and that they should be expecting to meet with another involved in the mission to take them all to the local base of operations.  Unless anyone has ANYTHING else they believe needs to be done you gather your limited equipment and begin to leave the area not entirely sure who you're supposed to be meeting here or what you might be walking into...

Shev scans the crowd and area around them, as they make their way from the ship. Who could they be meeting? He wouldnīt stand with a transparent here, of course. Maybe Goldy knows?

Dredge heaves himself to his feet and plods out of the hangar vicinity and into the street beyond. "Going to get my stuff." the alien mutters to the group as he gets up. "And unless I'm told otherwise I'm going to find a drink after that."

Eri'anya fiddles with her utility belt as she emerges from the ship.  She glances around, then heads for the hangar exit.  "Let's be on our way.  We're a bit behind schedule, but that shouldn't put out the good doctor too much."

As you make your way into the city, you can't help feeling like Dredge is on to something. Something cold to quench your thirst starts to feel like a high priority. That's when you see it, these is a cantina just a block further down the street to your right. It looks almost respectable, in that slightly depressive air of an imperial city. Even better, it's open. It's the smell of old grease and the imperial speeder parked outside that put you off.

"Not that blue isn't my favorite color, but you tend to stand out in a crowd!" It's a soft slightly cloaked female voice, coming from behind Dredge, and there was none there five seconds ago. 

"Take a left into that alley, I hope the others will follow." The voice is still soft and non-threatening, but you can sense a bit of urgency.

Dredge turns around to see who is speaking, making a perception check if necessary: 1d20 (17)+3=20.

There is a lean woman standing about two meters from Dredge. Close enough that she can speak with a low voice and still be clearly heard. She is very pale and and with a slight bluish tint to her skin. Her clothes are in soft pastel colors, with a lightly prune colored dress under a soft yellow cloak.

"I was supposed to meet you in the cantina, but I want you off the streets post haste."

A streak of white hair can be seen under the hood of the cloak and her pale blue eyes are reveled as she is holding her sunglasses in her left hand. She clearly avoid looking in the direction of the sun.

"You are late you know. The speeder is parked on the next street. The Doctor sent me."

She steps into the shadow of alley and almost disappear as she steps out of the bright light. Clearly she is trying to avoid any more exposure to whomever may be looking. She turns and looks behind her, stretching out her open hand.

"Come, you are not invisible my blue friend! The others can come as well, or go around the building. Either way you should all come with me in the speeder. This is not the time for introductions."

She stops and looks more relaxed now that she is back in the shadows. Her arm still partly outstretch and her hand open.
