Roth narrows the search as planned. He discovers there are twelve stores aboard the station with Posel in the name. Of these twelve, six of them share the same exact name, suggesting some kind of chain. Only two of the stores appear to sell some kind of jewlery, yet none of it coming from the maker of the locket.
He next turns to the ships associated with the station. Nineteen show up, five permanetly stationed out of the station, four that the computer listed as being scheduled to make a stop at the station on their way elsewhere, the rest shown to make regular trips to Exis Station.
Of the forty-three beings associated with Exis station, twenty-two work in the ion mining section of the station. The rest appear to work either in the stores or the recreation business as clerks, stockers, managers, an information broker, book keepers, tour guides, and recreational directors.
Then there is the Nek. It is build as "Posel the Wonder Nek," performing four shows daily in the Kenlif section of the station. Tickets are sold out for the next three months.

Roth queries the computer for definitions of the word Posel in the ancient dialect, to see if it can give one. It might help them narrow down what they're looking for. |

"Is it just one, or is it more than one?" Be'aal asks "There's a lot here that could be it." _________________ FLUFFY for President!!!!

"If we cannot come by a definitive answer from our searches, perhaps we will have to consult the Force." Roth says, looking at Syllri and Daevon. |

"Oh sure, consult the Force," Be'aal grumbles.
Syllri catches Roth's eye and nods his agreement with his plan, yet Daevon seems more intent to stare at the screen. Either he's already consulting the Force or he has seen something that intrested him. _________________ FLUFFY for President!!!!

"Daevon?" Roth inquires. "Do you have some insight you can lend us? You seem very intent upon something." |

"Look at the beings entry and then at the definitions," Daevon says in a low growl "There is one thing in the beings entry that doesn't fit the others, but it does fit something in the definitions. I think that tells us a lot." _________________ FLUFFY for President!!!!

Roth takes a deep breath, closing his eyes and opening himself up to the Force. Slowly he exhales, calming himself to make better sense of the list, searching for what Daevon is talking about.
________________________________________
Roth will activate Concentration, then add the 4D bonus to his Investigation skill to catch what Daevon's getting at. He's a little dense at the moment. |

Roth looks back at the searches, but as he does so he accidently clears the screen. Yet not before catching one job in particular. Information broker.
(OOC:Believe it or not, Roth passed the number I gave him with a penalty) _________________ FLUFFY for President!!!!

"I see what you're saying, Daevon," Roth says. "In Jenet, Posel means 'I know all.' Perfect for an information broker, don't you think?"
(OOC-Man, I've been sick lately, and OBVIOUSLY I need some more sleep! ) |

"And an information broker is not someone who would work for some recreational buisness unless they were an information broker on the side," Daevon growls.
Be'aal nods in agreement as he tries a new search with the information the group has managed to get. His search turns up the following
Possel Occupation: Information broker and store clerk. Species: Jenet. Homeworld: Garban. Current Location: Exis Station. Personal Motto: Information is credits. Possel has a reputation as knowing virtually anything in the galaxy, a reputation he puts to good use in his shop Possel's Claim. Each year thousands of sentients travel to Exis Station seeking help from Possel, very few leave disastisfied. _________________ FLUFFY for President!!!!

"Looks like we have a winner," Roth says, reading the screen. |
