Discord and Disillusion

For a ragtag crew who's used to having to work overtime just to keep fuel in their ship and food in their stomachs, passive income is a very welcome development now that they've assumed ownership of Teemo's various holdings and properties.

Eclipse receives an invitation from Corsh to meet with him so that she can pick up her winnings from the podrace. While at the Survey station in Mos Shuuta, Eclipse, Lishi and Ushutwasho meet an old man whom they discover to be Garm Bel Iblis after some grilling by Lishi.

Ushutwasho is a little combative, incredulous at the idea of Garm Bel Ilbis defecting from the main branch of rebellion and trying to start his own. The disunity in the cause makes him incredibly uncomfortable with the entire situation, which he is not shy to vent, coloring the entire discourse with a heavy tension. Lishi, feeling movement in her montral from several people (likely guards nearby listening to the conversation), intervenes in the conversation and declares that any action to interfere with the workings of the Empire is better than no action at all just because they're bothered by a bit of dissent.

Garm tells the group about an imperial surveillance bunker in Mos Shuuta that has been watching both him and the crew of the Krayt Fang now that they have taken over Teemo's enterprises and are in league with Jabba. He informs them of a plan he is working on to take the bunker out. After some discussion the group decides to help him out and he promises to compensate them handsomely.

The team catches wind that a large number of the people living and working in Mos Shuuta are actually slaves that Teemo had purchased, so they are now responsible for an enslaved population. This is unacceptable, so they decide to go check out the shanty towns on the cliffs around Mos Shuuta and see how things are going there. They run into a woman who is there tending to an overwhelming number sick slaves. It seems an illness had struck the workers, and given their poor and cramped living situation, it had spread rapidly. The woman is named Saman Fress and she is quite upset when the group shows up in the slums. Apparently, since the death of Teemo the slaves here have had it significantly worse under the ownership of the crew of the Krayt Fang. Saman has been the only person really looking out to make sure they get food and clothes.

Eclipse, mortified by this situation and having difficulty wrapping her mind around the fact that she is now partially responsible for this awful situation, starts making a bunch of excuses for the group, but Saman is not buying it.

Lishi, realizing that they cannot change what has come to pass and that they need Saman to work alongside them, pulls Eclipse and Ushutwasho to the side to give them an inspirational pep talk about what they can proactively do to free these slaves, get them some proper living quarters, and start paying them for the dangerous work that they do. Saman and many of the nearby slave workers overhear the conversation as Lishi got pretty spirited and the tone of the whole encounter takes a much more positive turn. Saman is willing to work with the group to build up the infrastructure in Mos Shuuta and be a liaison between the group and the now freed slave population of Mos Shuuta.
