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?

[Hux refused to provide details about how he was familiar with the other. Let him keep guessing. He wasn't even sure why he was bothering to provide this type of information to the man.]

Did you try asking an engineer to look at the ribbon?

[Voice]

[straightouttacarbonite]

What's it to you?

[ Yeah, well, at the very least Han has picked up on the notion that this stranger doesn't much like him. ]

I'm just saying if we wanna sell it we should sell it. If not, we should probably be thinking up excuses.

If you're going to sell it; which it sounds like you were going to, make sure you understand what you're selling so you get your money's worth. Didn't they teach that in smuggling school?

This isn't ordinary ribbon. Why else are we even being forced to carry this cargo on our ships in the first place?

I'm pretty sure I remember hearing that if you go around carrying stolen goods for ages 'cause you're too picky to take a decent offer, your chances of getting picked up and arrested for carrying stolen cargo go way up. There's a reason they call stuff hot. When you hang onto it you get burned.

[tiedonastring]

And you're not answering my question. I asked you twice if you even looked at the ribbon and you proceeded to ignore that fact and provide other irrelevant information instead.

[Voice]

[straightouttacarbonite]

Because I didn't feel like answering it.

It's a bad question. I already said I'm not the right guy to judge ribbon.

[tiedonastring]

[Hux could not help but eye roll at a comment, grateful for the fact the other couldn't see it. That was a typical smuggler attitude.]

You can't answer a simple question, yet you broadcast a speculation over possibly selling stolen cargo to the black market. In which, you could end up not getting any money for what it's actually worth because you can't bother taking the time to know what it is you're selling. Typical.

[Voice]

[straightouttacarbonite]

I can answer plenty of simple questions. I just don't wanna.

You're welcome to find your own buyer.

[Voice]

[tiedonastring]

Right. I think you actually know it and just want to see what others are going to say and do about it.

Good luck with that.
