"Let me clarify a little exactly what you're hoping for. Credits and passage off-world?" She asked. "Further protection than that? We're you hoping to return to our base or wait things out somewhere until we can get you out of here?"
She shrugged and said, "Money and safe passage, seems like a great deal, five million credits should be enough seed money for a nice start in the Empire."

“It will be difficult to transfer the funds with our current lack of external communication…”

He paused, “But if you are willing to trust us… And your intel proves to be worthwhile. Then I believe something can be arranged.”

Luth kept her sigh internal. Would she take it, or was the lack of negotiation going to make it look like they were lying?

“Damn, bloody hell, I knew I should have asked for more,” she quipped. “Well, can I get a little up front and a place to stay. I would prefer not to be at the location that has pissed off the pirates, I hear those poor bastards are getting attacked day and night.”

“Seems a bit quieter, here.”

I hope he's got the funds, nobody in the base is gonna cough up 5m.

Aphr smiled, hiding her internal screams behind the amusement of imagining Sylvain asking Baras for the money. It would be a funny scene.

"Well, I'm not sure there is anywhere that safe on Hoth right now. The main base is warm at least and you'll be surrounded by a lot of fighters. Likely the safest you're going to get."

"I am no fool this facility here, seems safe enough these people don't live in this structure, I would feel safer here away from wherever the pirates will be focusing their ire. I wasn't aware the Empire was in the business of liberating slaves," she offered.

"I propose we let you stay here if you want for now, retrieve what we can of an advance from base, and return to exchange that for the information, since that may be usable very shortly," Luth suggested. "If you get tired of the cold in the mean time, you're welcome to come back with us then. We can fulfill the rest once we can actually get off this ice cube. What do you all think?"

She made a small gesture next to her thigh past Valen's line of sight. Opening her fingers and thumb a few times, then indicating her thumb toward the door. Talk outside.

Aphr smiled.

"Please do let us know if you change your mind. This place looks terrible for your health to stay in long term."

With a nod to the others she waited for them to leave, following along.

Once they got to the craft, Luth slid into the cockpit seat and started speaking as she started takeoff. "We should report this to the Republic if we want to build that trust you're after, Syl."

A large figure plowed through the blowing snow, the mask focusing on the trio. He continued walking and said, “And why would we alert the Republic to anything, bring me up to speed Lord Khalan.”

Darth Baras had arrived.

Aphrs eyes widened as the shape came towards them. Not sure if it was man or monster.

Turns out it was both, and Aphr lowered her head respectfully.

She didn't jump, by sheer force of training by this point. Don't show weakness. Don't be controlled by fear anymore. "Information that could help us defeat the Eternal Empire, potentially. We need as many people working together as possible to do it regardless of whatever advantage this might grant, though. I said this was going to be a numbers game early on, and I stand by that assessment."

"Sylvain also mentioned full collaboration as the key to defeat in his vision, and all in all... What we've seen has been pretty accurate here."

"Perhaps we wait to inform our allies, assess the information is good," Darth Baras replied. "I respect these visions, but it's never good policy to follow them blindly."

"I expect the Minister will disagree."

“I see no need to disagree in the short term. We do need something to share before we do any sharing…”

He replied, “Blind faith is not something I practice often. But I do know what I saw… Collaboration is the only way we survive what is coming… Collaboration or capitulation.”

He nodded to Baras, “You pride yourself on being a survivor. Do you prefer capitulation in this case Darth Baras?”

"That's fine," she replied with a shrug. "If the information is pointless, it won't mean anything, anyway."

She stood back to simply watch this part of the conversation.

"That wasn't the question, dusk and dawn are different and not diametrically opposed, Minister," he responded. "You obviously see one as the superior choice."

"Why equivocate and simply answer the question."

“I did not equivocate… I feel collaboration is better than capitulation.”

He looked back at Baras, “You are the one refusing to answer the questions.”

“If your true priority is saving the Empire… Then at this time it necessitates collaboration. Zakuul is the greater threat… One that will break us all if we stand on our own.” He replied.
