Who: Han Solo... solo. shut up it was funny in my mind
Broadcast: Yep, to anyone who will listen
Action: not really but he's probably around the Caprine if you want him
When: a couple days into the drift



[ sup Fleet. Han is somewhere on his ship, though it's hard to see much over his shoulder. He looks fairly normal and maybe a little bit bored. ]

So the thing about trafficking stolen cargo-- not that I'm doing that or saying we should do that-- is, it's pretty pointless to steal something no one wants to buy. I guess it happens, if you don't know what you're getting.

I'm sure there's a black market for ribbon somewhere...

[ He looks a little perplexed, not troubled, just deep in thought. ]

I mean, there's gotta be, right?

Maybe, but that doesn't mean we wanna hold onto it for too long.

Guess that depends on if we can figure out what’s on it. Maybe there’s something there we don’t want some random dealer knowing.

Or maybe someone else would pay better.

[ look, he's being optimistic! ]

But do you really wanna just hang onto it til you figure it out?

Re: [ video ]

[universal_charm]

Yes, I do. Maybe there’s nothing. Maybe there’s something. Either way - I wouldn’t get rid of it until I’m sure either way.

And that's fine, until the people expecting to get it come looking.

Re: [ video ]

[universal_charm]

Maybe, if they come. But we cross that bridge when we get there, with the information off the ribbons.

_{[ Because they would get it off. He was sure of it. Even if it took him months, he’d find a way. ]}

[ Looking at this from a criminal perspective-- which is kind of his usual perspective-- that just seems like a liability. ]

You think they've got a secret code?

Re: [ video ]

[universal_charm]

I think they have something on them somehow. Probably. The last time we transported something for Atroma like this they did.

Seems a good guess these ribbons do too.

[straightouttacarbonite]

What'd they have you hauling last time?

[universal_charm]

This bouncy-rubbber ball things. They had data on them. And that's the only time I can recall us being told to haul something by Atroma, not us just picking up extra supplies for the ships on our own.

What'd they have on them?

[ Generally speaking information always sells better thank trinkets. Though that's never really been his game, he's got even less idea how to leverage that here. ]
