We come out of hyperspace and see the Wheel. It is a large spoked space station. It is considered a neutral space station, and there is no Imperial presence which makes it attractive to people who want to do business and not be tracked. It also has several popular casinos.

We get a docking berth for our larger ship and pack up to begin boarding. Viddako and Zach stay with the ship, and the rest of us go onto the station to have a meeting with the cybertech firm. A dock manager greets us and asks if we need any repairs, we don’t have any cash right now so we say that we’ll contact them later. The docking fee is 150 credits which we’ll also have to figure out how to pay.

We make our way to IsoTech which is on the cargo ring. A protocol droid named CZ-13 asks us to give our identities. The doors lock and Kuma is a bit spooked. After about 10 minutes a Twi-lek man comes out and addresses us. He says he is the president of IsoTech and his name is Reome. We follow him and see all of the projects they are working on in their shop. He takes us to a conference room with chairs. Ten says that he wants the payment in hard currency and to include docking fees and fuel costs. The man agrees.

He offers us future jobs if this one goes well, especially for salvaging operations. We speak for a few minutes. The droid comes in and gives us the payment. There are some Imperial credits and some are from CorSec, and some from Hutt currency. It is 5300 credits total.

They work in replacement limbs, eyes and other things to replace human parts. They also do droid parts but doesn’t say much about that. Quentin asks about medical supplies and he points us to the place that he normally uses.

We comm the ship and let them know they will be picking up the delivery. They do the transfer and Zach goes along with them. Quentin goes to look around for the med supplies and also tries to find a buyer for the gundark pups.

The exchange is completed and we get paid. Ten Je wants to take 20% off the top for the ship repairs and upgrades.

The population of the wheel is mostly human. The station is controlled by an AI called MasterCom that controls most of everything.

Quentin does a tour of the promenade and has found a couple of interesting shops, but no one who can deal with the gundarks. He found a clothing shop, a droid repair and sale shop, and the Farlander Outfitters that have general merchandise and they are also a pawn shop. He also saw casinos and Hal’s which does ship parts.

Quentin tries to assess the damage on the shop with Ten Je’s help. It looks like we can fix the ship ourselves with about 4 hours of work.

Ten Je gives each of us 848 credits as our cut. He and Quentin stay with the ship to begin repairs and the others go out to get supplies. We first stop to get a drink at the Blasted Asteroid and talk with the bartender. We also talk with a man from Corellia who may have a lead on where to sell our gundark pups.

We head over to Farlander Outfitters and Viddako buys the medical supplies.

Next we go to the TapCaf and see that they have Alderaanian cuisine. Kuma picks up the tab and sends food over to Quentin and Ten Je. We overhear some people talking about the Sah Dalohar. Kumah remembers that the Sah Dalohar was a fabled treasure supply ship with tons of separatist credits. It was heavily damaged and lost into space. Treasure hunters theorize that it has gone missing in this region of space so many have been looking for it.

Zach purchases his blaster and we head back to the ship. The repairs are complete and we get cleaned up and then go to dinner with Reome.

Reom wastes no time and asks us if we’ve heard of the Sah Dalohar. The pod that we recovered was from the ship and has its last known location in it. He says that he will hire us to find it for him for 10,000 credits. We ask for more and he agrees to do 12,000 with 10% up front. He then gets a menacing look and threatens to hunt us down if we betray him. He has apparently found out interesting things about our pasts and will leak the information to interested parties (meaning the Empire, naturally). He says that a droid will come with us that will allow us to access the ship. Ten bristles and doesn’t want to allow a droid to come on our ship, but Reome says that their people haven’t been able to extract the data from the droid for fear that it would self destruct.

Reom tells us that the existence of the pod has leaked and this is why he has increased security here. There are several other groups that are looking for the ship and we may have opposition. Also the Empire is still looking for it. He gives us a datachip of plans of the ship, data on the captain of the ship and how to find the Raxus Prime facility where we can deliver any cargo that we find. We bid him farewell and head back to the ship.

As we’re leaving a Rodian runs away from the door, obviously having spied on our conversation with Reom. Ten chases him and Kuma calls security, but they are slow to respond. Ten loses him after a while unfortunately.

We head back to the ship and Kuma searches for the insignia on the holonet and finds that it is for Yiyar Clan Salvage, a rival company to IsoTech and in the past they’ve been fighting over salvage sometimes with combat. They are also housed on the Wheel and are mostly Rodians. After the computer search, Kuma heads to the bacta tanks to get his wounds healed.

Ten tries to shop for someone who might want the gundark pups, and doesn’t find anyone, but gets a good contact in a Nautolan ship equipment dealer. He also feels like he is being watched. He finds out that the Yiyar clan is looking to take out one of the IsoTech satellites.

Early in the morning a comm comes through from IsoTech. Reom shows up as a hologram and he is bandaged. He says that the Yiyar clan broke into their offices and found out about the droid. Ten tells him about the satellite attack as an act of good faith.

Quentin goes to the healing center to get Kuma and Zach. They come out of the pods early, and Kuma has only been in for 6 hours and Zach has been in for 8. We stop by the store to pick up more stimpacks.

We get a com from a Twi’lek that says she is Reom’s sister. She has the droid IT3 and will meet us. We await them in the hangar.
