Jumping Jack Flash, It's a Gas, Gas, Gas

Eugene let out a sigh of relief. He wasn't sure where his last few minutes of bravado had come from but this type of bartering for his life came more easily to him. The slicer spoke much more confidently now that danger was assumedly off the table. "Of course I can provide you intel. I can also publish secrets which can destroy an organizations. And if you're up for it I can plant a leak. I don't like to call them lies. I prefer the phrase embellishment of the truth."

He adjusted his glasses and peered at the decorated warrior. "What kind of information would you like for me to focus on in particular?"

Verz let his hand fall to his side once more.

"Well, as you've seen, the Mandalorians are a powerful force of warriors. What we need is intel on enemy technological capabilities, estimated responsiveness to outside threats, and the ability to deploy military assets rapidly. As you are no doubt aware, they are a bunch of criminal scum, but they are well funded and dedicated to protecting their ability to make money. We need to see what the weak points in this house of cards are. In return, we will pay you a sum determined by the usefulness of the information."

The Mandalorian paused, to let the terms of the deal sink in.

"And I will be willing to forget that you illegally contacted a Mandalorian officer under false pretenses, and entered a military compound under those same false pretenses. And don;t forget, Mandalorians are soldiers. That means we like swift and often harsh justice."

Verz extended his hand to Eugene, offering a handshake to seal the deal.

Eugene listened and after Horak was finished speaking, he took the handshake. Needless to say the Mandalorian's grip was much firmer than his... bone crushing almost. Eugene withdrew his hand and rubbed it a little. "This sounds reasonable," he said, grateful that he wasn't going to end up in a Concord Sun prison cell tonight. "In fact I'm going to give this contract special attention. I'm assigning you an exclusive agent named [member="Khloe Sparrow"]. She will be able to give her undivided attention to whatever investigation you need."

He gave Verz Horak as self-satisifed grin. "As a powerful galaxy figure in my own right, I don't want to muddle up your cause with my celebrity. Whatever Ms. Sparrow brings to you will be in the strictest confidence I assure you."

Eugene dug into his suit pocket and pulled out a flimsiplast card. "Archaic I know," he said shrugging. "But completely secure. Until it can be hacked, flimsiplast is sometimes the best way to go. Send the target list to this digital address. It can be persons or entire groups, but I'll need something specific to give to Ms. Sparrow." He turned to go and then added, "And please burn that card after you've sent the details."
