Zane's Deal

Current revision as of 06:22, 20 January 2020

Daily Mission Briefing

Though none of the merchants we spoke with had any detailed information on the Alarri, one of them has a contact that supposedly has done business with them. His name is Trovar Zane. We've arranged a meeting. See what information you can acquire.

Mission Dialogue:

I hear you are looking for the Alarri.
You must be Trovar Zane.

Trovar: Yes. I might be able to help.
What do you know about them? You will be fairly compensated.

Trovar: The Alarri... Quiet ones. They mostly do business through their agents, though will occasionally travel through for certain transactions.
Why are they so secretive?

Trovar: They are experienced arms dealers. Discretion is key.
Where can we find them?

Trovar: The Alarri choose their clients carefully. No one here will know their whereabouts... but I might have a way to locate them.
Explain.

Trovar: Several visits ago, I managed to secure a second-hand trade for an Alarri VX-Ordnance. Not an easy thing to acquire.
What's special about it?

Trovar: I happen to be quite adept in subquantum tracing... and this specimen has a pure quantum overlay... another lucky coincidence.
Tracing is a very specialized skill...curious.

Trovar: I have no ties with the Stryll Order, if that's what you're thinking...
What about the Terran Outsiders?

Trovar: I work alone, and frankly, the source of my talents is none of your business.
Have you already performed an analysis on the Ordnance, then?

Trovar: No - It is quite an expensive and delicate procedure, even on the purest of sources. When I heard you were looking for the Alarri, however, I saw an opportunity for... mutual benefit.
What are your terms?

Trovar: Simple. You provide some new equipment and funds to facilitate the trace. I transmit the location it was assembled from.
We'll give you what you want - but you must agree to remain with us until we find the Alarri.

Trovar: Why? You don't trust me?
No offense, Trovar. We must take every precaution.

Trovar: I already told you. I work alone.
Not this time.

Trovar: Well...If I agree to this... I'll need plenty of space to work, and I expect to be treated as an honored guest.
That won't be a problem.

Trovar: Fine... you have a deal.

End Transmission.
