From Moonus Mandel to Gamorr

The party, fresh off their encounter with a mysterious Jedi named Sypher Dias, and satisfied they had adequately upgraded their ship to disguise their transponder to match their forged paperwork, headed back to Tatooine.  Halfway through the journey, they sensed a tail but were unable to tell exactly how far behind them they were being followed.  Fearing the worst, and not wanting to lead whoever was following them back to Calla, they left hyperspace near the peaceful planet of Lahsbane. 

Granted permission to land on the planet, they were greeted by the diminutive and friendly LAHSbanians.  Realizing that they were in no danger and the LAHSbanians only wanted news of the outside world, they accepted food and hospitality for the rest of the day and headed back to Tatooine after they felt the tail had safely passed without stopping.

They arrived back on Tatooine at nighttime and landed in Mos Espa.  After lamenting a return to such a dry planet, especially the Mon Calamari, they slept in the safety of their ship until they could safely make their way to Calla's palace in the morning.  After a tense transaction, they exchanged the information on the data pad for the full 250,000 cr.  and agreed to be available in the future for Calla should she need more work done. 

Returned to the ship and saw two Bothans outside the hanger.  Cutting to the point, they simply approached them and immediately recognized one of them as the spy on Moonus Mandel.  They went into the hanger to get off the street and talk further.  The speaker introduced himself as Velliam Rankyyr and implored the group to go to Gamorr and look into the disappearance of his cousin, Khirra.  She was sent by the Jedi to investigate a disturbance in the Force three months ago and disappeared almost a month ago.  After several questions, they discovered that she frequently worked for the Jedi because her skills in tracking were aided by her Force sensitivity.  She had to have landed initially at Juggsmuk Station (a large outpost for foreign visitors to stay safely).  The planet is valuable as a mining facility despite the volatile nature of the natives.  Although Velliam had little to offer in the way of money, he offered them to NOT tell the Jedi who had paid them to follow them and that they would have access to the Bothan Spy Network going forward, as well as his gratitude.  After some conversation and discussion privately, the group agreed to search for Khirra and determine what happened to her.  Gamorr was a 3 day journey from Tatooine so they decided to resupply including replacing their missing escape pod.
