Jheeg: You. You are here Softly, from the Empire. I am Jheeg. I am expecting you. I have your new identity.
Agent: How did an alien on Hutta end up working for the empire?
Jheeg: They offer me money. Much like you? I am helping another Imperial alien.
You know the Red Blade? Small-time pirate.
Rich. Mysterious. No one knows true species, gender, color.
I planted rumors, made Nem'ro think the Red Blade is coming to visit--enjoy Hutt palace, do business. You are the Blade. No one will doubt you.
Agent: If there's another Red Blade out there, won't that be a problem?
Jheeg: No. Real blade is far away now, looking for new trade in the Outer Rim. Out of contact, won't cause trouble.
Only one concern. I arranged tribute for Nem'ro, gifts impored from Empire, but there was--interference?-- at spaceport
Agent: What kind of interference?
Jheeg: Gang steals from docks. Dangerous men, unaware of us. Nem'ro's tribute taken. But I saw everything--I observed well, yes?
I have proposed solution. You quickly eliminate gang members. Only method to recover gifts, remove witnesses.
Agent: Let's make this fast and quiet then.
Jheeg: Gangsters are nearby--this is why we meet here. But advise significant caution. Targets are excellent shots.
I will communicate plan to our handlers. Speak again once Nem'ro's tribute has been recovered.
Jheeg: All witnesses eliminated? Gifts recovered. I will examine.
Jheeg: Good. Many things Nem'ro wants, things Nem'ro likes. Once Nem'ro has his gifts, all his suspicions will go away. You become a pirate. You become Red Blade.
Agent: You've done well.
The Empire is grateful to you.
Jheeg: Yes. The empire shows it's gratitude generously.
I contacted Imperial handlers. As assured, yes? The call is arriving now.
Keeper: Jheeg, from this point forward operational security will be at a premium. You will not contact us from this terminal again.
Jheeg: Yes. Leaving for your privacy. I will await contact.
Keeper: I understand you corrected Jheeg's mishandling of the situation Agent.
We will now proceed.
Agent: Acknowledged and understood.
Keeper: Your next task is to access Nem'ro's inner circle.
Present yourself to the Hutt as a fellow gangster.
The Red Blade, and offer him Jheeg's gifts.
One of the gifts in implanted with a listening device, which we will
use to monitor the conversations within Nem'ro's palace.
Agent: Are you listening for something specific? Keeper: At this juncture our primary goal is
to find weaknesses within Nem'ro's organization.
Even if the Hutt won't join us, we might influence his lieutenants.
Talk to Nem'ro and his men, determine who we can turn, and how we can sway them.
We will be listening.
Agent: I'll be back once I learn anything.
Keeper: Be careful what you say,
and lose the accent when you're in the Hutt palace you're no longer an Imperial.
Contact me from the cantina once Nem'ro has his presence.
Keeper out.
