The group boards the Winnebago and heads to the planet [somewhere]. After a week long journey, they reach an orbit around the planet. Alya(?) makes contact with the rebel cell on the planet, and they relay to her (and the group) the information they have on "the fixer". All they know is that he has been seen a lot lately in a place called The Square, and specifically, a shop called Grux's Shop. The group lands the ship at the spaceport located in the Square, and they exit into the open market to evaluate what's going on.

The square is named so because it forms a large square of buildings, surrounding a large open air market with several rows of vendors selling all manners of goods. On one end of the square lies Grux's Shop; or what is left of it. The store looks ransacked, with the goods inside deliberately broken and everything trashed, but abandoned. The bustling crowd appears to be deliberately keeping a large amount of distance from the shop as they walk by. J'eb B'sh talks to one of the people passing by, "I heard good things about the mechanic at this shop, what happened?" and the passerby simply shrugs and continues walking.

Next door to Grux's Shop is an inn, [name of inn here], and the group (minus bird and someone else) enter it. [Raska|Raska] talks to the innkeeper, inquiring about a room to stay for ten credits a room. He asks about the neighborhood, and hopes that the condition of the shop next door is not any indication of the safety of the inn, of which the innkeeper assures him that they are safe. Raska presses the issue, asking if the innkeeper knows more details, and he replies, "If you value your life, don't look".

The group leaves the inn and wanders around the open market looking for clues. [Bril|Bril] sees a stall with a [some kind of species] named Vukh selling wares, and asks him about Grux's. Vukh seems a bit unnerved, and discloses that the place has been ransacked by Storm Troopers. J'eb senses that wants the group to leave him alone - perhaps because he knows something and doesn't want to be found out, or perhaps because a group of aliens is asking him questions. Sw'lbyrd asks Vukh to elaborate on what he knows in a pressuring manner, and Vukh nervously comments that, "sometimes you can be too successful." When asked to elaborate further however, he takes off running.

Bril, Sw'lbyrd, Daaz and his cat all give chase. Vukh's knowledge of the market gives him an edge in maneuvering around the marketplace but cannot escape the giant cat's pounce as he tackles him to the ground. Sw'lbyrd grabs him off the ground and they bring him to their ship parked at the spaceport. Meanwhile, Raska finds a "closed" sign at Vukh's shop and puts it out front before going through the register and stealing 200 credits from the stall. J'eb finds a broken [augment part] and takes it, ensuring he leaves a "fair price" of ten credits behind as payment for what he took.
