Alright, let's decide some stuff.

The original plan, as outlined by Aro, was:

1. Meet back at the palace for dinner.

2. After dinner (roughly between 7 and 8 pm) meet at the palace shuttle port where a shuttle and escort would be waiting.

The escort would consist of 4 palace guards; a caamasi captain and 3 security droids.

To keep up the pretense of provincial tour, Aro would accompany the party, waiting with the escort for you guys to check out the abandoned Jedi Temple which was conveniently along the route to the cover village Aro arranged to visit (for the record the village is named Way'din).

Unfortunately, you guys will need to leave much sooner than that while arousing the minimal amount of suspicion.

Questions? Ideas?

We're in a cab taking us to the palace shuttle port. Aro should come with to use his authority to hurry the shuttle prep. Who are the Persuasion players?

I will make Tactics check to give the cab driver directions in order to avoid arousing suspicion in any law enforcement agents or spies still looking for us. Result is 29.

If there's a mechanical issue with the shuttle, I could try to help solve the problem.

Alright, your directions add time to the cab trip and earn you a raised eyebrow from the driver, but he, for the most part, complies without complaint. The only exception is when he detours to drop off his other fare. Apparently the three were going to the same office building. Nothing you can do about that.

You guys arrive at the the bridge to the palace at 5:47pm. The hustle and bustle of bureaucrats and supplicants goes almost 24 hours these days, what with the crisis and all, and it's easy for you guys to get lost in the crowd. Security keeps a watchful eye on those coming and going but no security check point exists for this part of the palace. The caamasi are a peaceful people, and rarely have crime or security problems.

You are now in the grand hallway.

Aro, who has been silent this whole walk, has steadily gained confidence as you all got further and further into familiar territory; his walk has become more confident and he's stopped muttering "Dear, oh dear" to himself. In fact, he stops and says, "Excuse me, friends. But I really need to make a report to the First Speaker before I do anything else. Please, go to your rooms and wash up. I'm afraid we stand out terribly with the mess of--he leans in and whispers--battle."

"He is right. Even as we speak, it is a surprise none of the locals have rubbernecked and made a circle around us. We may need to make an effort to mask what lingers after proper washing. Give us a rendezvous point, and we'll meet up there within half an hour."

He turned a stiff gaze toward Ominae, saying, "Take only as much time as you need," then passed an insinuatory glance at Dake Sken before continuing. "Aro, be wary. I know the Speaker will believe you, I truly do; however, the ambushers and the agent who followed us had powerful and well-connected friends. Forward thinking and caution are at their most vital at the present moment, even among familiar surroundings."

Dake took a look at his slightly ragged clothes. Having just bought his new trench coat and his hat, he didn't think he really needed a shower. 

"I guess a little break would be nice... I also need to check up on my new friends."

He was obviously talking about the insects he recently caught.

Aro nods at Vahrran's warning. "I'll be careful. As for a rendezvous, meet me in the garden on subsection 2. You'll need my clearance to go any further down."

The lanky bureaucrat is about to leave on his errand. If you have anything else to ask him now's the time.

Mental Math:

Ominae approaches Aro and speaks in a semi-hushed tone.

"Aro, under the circumstances, i figure best to talk about this sooner rather than later. I think now, more than ever, we'll need all the material we can in order to reinforce your case to the Senate. If you can't arrange for actual diplomatic presence to accompany us offworld, could you at least get us all the recorded data you can on the events since the Imperial blockade started? We'll back it up with our ship's own sensor logs and make it as air-tight as possible, so we can limit how much the Imperials will be able to stall or argue it away."

"Yes, how is that coming along?" adds Korra, the barest hint of annoyance in her voice. "Surely your techs were able to repair the problem by now, yes? What was it again?"

"Melted hard d-d-drive," Aro stutters nervously. He suddenly looks like he really doesn't want to be here answering her question. "Please don't worry. I will go and collect the data myself as soon as I'm done briefing the First Speaker."

oh, crap:

The more i think about it, the more i think we can't afford to let him out of our sight right now. I'll set up some excuse as to why he should accompany us to our quarters, or something (i've a pretty good idea of what to say). Once Aro's not looking, i'll motion to Vahrran and Dake to play along with what i say. I don't want to resort to mind-trick just yet.

Ominae steps close to Aro and speaks in a hushed tone, since this is sensitive information.

"The rest of us will be in our quarters. We're going to try and salvage what we can from the memory core of that transmitter Vahrran dug out of the spy. With any luck, we can get a callback frequency out of it, and go about setting up a trace or something, and find out just who's been trying to sabotage us all this time."

Aro nods, not quite landing the transition. He still comes off as nervous. "G-good idea. I'll report in and see about g-getting you some help. If you'll excuse me."

He turns and attempts to walk away.

OOC:

At the completion of the battle, the scene in the throne room has since died down to a quiet waiting while the technicians do their work downstairs. Upon arriving they loaded up the droid spy and took it away in all haste. Anyone who wishes can follow along.

Possible Location: Technician's Workshop

NPCs
Captain Kan'atu is currently down there watching them work.
Head Technician Harahiki-Caamasi engineer. Older woman, with graying fur.
Height 1.70688 meters (5'6"), 53.9775 kg (119 lbs.)
Currently examining Robo Aro.

Back in the Throne Room, the First Speaker is holding an emergency meeting with his council trying to figure out what damage the spy may have wrought and what to do about it. Korra is currently there looking out the window in the direction of the Temple. She looks unsettled. Jim is leaning up against the wall nonchalantly though anyone who knows him can see he is coiled like a giant spring, ready to protect his charge at a moments notice.

Possible Location: Throne Room

NPCs
Korra

First Speaker

-------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, elsewhere...

Harley and Glitch have stolen a forklift from a group of ornery mechanics that work at the starport. They are in hot pursuit of Boop, which has managed to climb it's way into a delivery cart bound for parts unknown. The driver of the cart, for his part, is confused and scared and is currently travelling at unsafe speeds down a major thoroughfare. Meanwhile, the enslaved R2's are doing everything they can to keep the fuzz (security) off their chief (Glitch), including, but not limited to, hacking the power grid, causing convenient traffic snarls, and ramming pedestrians out of the way.

All in all, it's a confusing, zany, and all around stupid chase and is currently being covered on the local news as a way to break up the tedium of 24/5 blockade coverage. I'll keep you guys posted as the story develops. And yes, Glitch is copiously whining about how illegal it all is.

The droid in disguise had become a pile of scrap and Dake was more than relieved to see that danger had passed, for now. Like the experienced and mature smuggler he was, he quickly showed his pride at the efficiency of his intervention which was obviously determinant in this present outcome.

"Now, that's what I call a headshot."

The attention he brought to the remnants of the droid indicated how curious he was to learn more from it. But just as he had decided to tag along with the technicians, he caught Korah from the corner of his eyes. She was looking outside a window. For a few moments, Dake hesitated. And after seemingly resigning himself, he walked up next to her.

"...Hey."

He noticed that she was looking in the direction of the Temple.

"You worried about something?"

Noticing the same, and already suspicious, Ominae perks an ear.
