Noventa - A Star Wars Story

"Having your cybernetics act up on you?" he asked, a little dumbfounded. "Never-mind, it wasn't all that important of a thought anyway. Let's just get you loaded up and done here, alright?"

"Concernin' in what way? It can be mighty useful to be able to investigate things twice and all that."

"Isn't that..." he paused, thinking to himself if it were even proper to ask. Still, he didn't relent. Deciding it was worth the answer. ".. actually concerning?"

Jelna nodded and tapped on her head as she pretended to get prepared. "Darn thing is actin' up on me. I need to find the recordings right now." She gave a meek smile. "I have a lot of stuff so far. I've been on this planet for 'bout a week, after all."

Meanwhile...

The Zabrak lead Jelna to the database insert point. Indicating with a turn of his hand, "This is where you'll have to do it. Faster, the better."

It was really tempting to take a peek at their database.

Really really tempting.

But that would be quite the difficult bluff to pull when the Zabrak came back, and while the Twi'lek was an adventurous sort she played it safe and focused on solidifying the ruse for now. So to complete the image of a pretty arm-candy Twi'lek, she turned the monitor around a little to use it as a poor substitute for a mirror as she started to do to touch ups to her makeup. And of course angling her body just so to give that poor overworked man a good look at her forms when he would come back.

"Right.." he said, irritated seemingly by his state of affairs in life. Pulling up the caf while he waited by the door and taking a drink when he punched in the code. All of this transpired some ways away from Cefey, while the woman worked out of view.

Meanwhile.

Cefey had opportunity before her. While the dataspike did it's magic she had time where she had to wait for it to finish. This offered time for her, perhaps to more properly solidify her ruse or... something else. What the next few moments could offer her were up to Cefey.

In the meantime, Jelna took her time walking after him. She gave a sheepish smile. "I'm feelin' a bit sore from yesterday, sorry."

[i]Why does it always do that?[/i] she thought with some annoyance. You'd think such a masterfully crafted dataspike would've been smarter, but nooo... it was like all the other dataspikes in that regard.

With that done, she finally 'recovered' her commlink too. "Ah, you naughty [i]petite[/i] thing."

Now they just had to hope that the dataspike would work as Kai's mystery-friend said it would.

It was hard to get it to slide in at the angle, but given some time, she'd be able to do it. Like a USB stick, in once, turn it around, in again, turn it around, now it's good.

Good thing she had that commlink in her hand. And those comms were such slippery things. Why, this one escaped her grasp as if she had never held one before.

[size=85]"Oops."[/size]

Guess she had to pick that up, so down on one knee she went to reach for it, which made the stealthy-job easier.

[Camera's are immune to the Force and thus Sleight of Mind is not effective, 5 Success' and 4 Threat is the final total.]

Unfortunately, the data-port that would accept her data spike was lower than she anticipated and Cefey would be forced to change things up a little to fake it. Needing to get herself closer to the floor she would need to come up with some reason why she would have to fiddle with something so close to the ground, or just why she would be down there.

[Threat used to force an awkward situation that would make subsequent Deception/other rolls explaining this situation to have at least one setback.]

Nothing unusual, good.

It was a bit like old times then, she thought as she went through the familiar motions. An extra sway in the hip, and resting some of her weight against the desk as she shifted her footing, making it seem like she was just taking the opportunity to rest her feet a bit. While her hands easily did the job of finding the data-port and inserting the spike.

As easy as pie. Or something.

"Oof..." she sighed softly, slowly rolling one foot in a circle all the while fiddling with her comm in the other hand as she gave Jelna the ring she had requested. Jelna would know what it meant.

Successful stealth. I can either take 2 Strain, or you choose something else for the Threat. :)

Fey would notice the typical ones, one facing the desk for record of who entered. Naturally that camera also allowed for them to keep tabs on anyone doing anything suspicious. All she needed to do was find the data insert port, get the spike in there and the job was done. At least, as far as the job was concerned.

[OOC: You could, feasibly, do it that way. Though I will note he didn't quite accept the offer because of how, well, that would be weird. Would need to formulate a convincing lie, to be sure. Stealth Hard to mask the hand movements.]

Well, it was time to get to work, it seemed? She was going to be super helpful with all this paperwork stuff. Or whatever it is this guy needed.

And of course, the dataspike.

Fey glanced around for security cameras as she moved towards the front desk.

OOC: I assume there is some surveillance, so possible to insert the dataspike discreetly? Making it look like she's helping out with work like she said she would?

"Just.. " he paused his words as he shifted up from his seat, directing with his cup of caf, "along this way. We'll get your information loaded up and go from there."

With the Zabrak leading the way, side by side with Jelna, the two walked off into a separate space from the front desk. Back to where the secure servers were kept. Leaving Cefey alone in the front, with just the usual instruments about one would expect at a front desk of an establishment.

"Sure thing," the twi'lek smiled chipperly, giving Jelna a good hug in return with a content smile on her face as she got another peck on the cheek (so many Jelna-pecks these days!). "And [i]oui[/i], I am very helpful."

Jelna glanced at the terminal at the front desk and then smiled at the zabrak. "That sounds fine by me. I know Honey can be very, very helpful. Ain't that right?" she said before moving in for a close embrace. She gave her a couple pecks on the cheek before leaning in for a whisper. "[size=85]Call me on my commlink when it's done.[/size]" She was not going to risk herself being plugged into the database while having some unknown dataspike also hacking in.

When they separated, she looked around with a smile on her face. "Which way then, pal?"

"Look, I just can't let her back there alone... but," he sighs, looking over his desk real quick and thinking how some of this [i]might[/i] actually clear up if whatever they had was legitimate. "If you can stand here and tell anyone I'll be right back with your friend, then I can bring her in the back and we can get this downloaded. Just.. lets do this quick," he said, feeling a little uneasy about the idea as it was.

[Note: As far as the Data spike you've been given, it can be inserted in any terminal in the whole place and will link itself to the database as it's required to do.]

"Look, we understand that you guys are stretched rather thin. That's why we're helping - like with the investigation, and stopping that heist yesterday," Fey gestured towards herself. She had been there after all, and since Cal had said he had given written reports of the event, she was probably mentioned.

"While the lady here uploads the data from those cybernetic-things, how about I help you a bit with all the work you guys have on your lap? I understand that the gadget of hers takes a bit of time and concentration - connected to brain-stuff and all so it's delicate stuff. So we might as well try to be efficient here?" The twi'lek smiled warmly, as she put forth that genuine emotion of wanting to help these people.
