Kenneth will search all the databases he can, paying the access fee for those that need it. As for the Roup Downport database...he might take a peek inside to see how hard it would be to hack the information. Also, can I make a computer check to try and speed the process up?
Computers (speed search):
Computer (Looking around Roup Downport system):
Rather than checking each individual I will instead allow for one group check per database, an Average Computer Skill Intelligence check with a -1 DM modifier for the variances in technology.
There is no easy way to speed up the search, as you are attempting to scan multiple records from across multiple independent systems using differing levels of technology. You may attempt to do so by quick searching and skimming over the records, but you will add a -1 DM modifier to each database checked in this fashion.
To which on-site Roup downport station terminal is Kenneth going to attempt access? Does he have someone to watch as lookout while he does so or will he attempt to charm, bribe, or bluff his way into gaining access? Using the station terminal you will not be aided by your own equipment, only your skill and Intelligence bonuses will apply. This database will be a Difficult Computer Skill Intelligence check.
He will start with the Regina Intergrated Genetic Information Service, then go to the Roup Planetary Criminal Information Centre, then to the Imperial Navy Service Corsair's Registry and finally the TAS membership directory.

He will scout out an area that is not very busy to access the Downport terminal. He will see if anyone is free to act as a lookout, perfecting to take someone with a recon skill!
Kenneth sends out a message to all his crew mates.
"Greetings all. I am doing some research into our possible passengers and need some assistance. Who is free to give me a hand? Would prefer someone with keen eyes and ability to spot trouble before it happens . Call me back when you are free, I will be awhile looking over these databases."
Devon finished reviewing the readiness of the passenger cabins and headed for the bridge.
I can meet with McKinsey, I'd like someone to tag along. Are we sure about going on a hunting expidition with those yokels?
"The hunting expedition is one of the more lucrative contracts we have, and can be accomplished by splitting up without loosing time, assuming we can limit the body guard to one week." Lodic responds. "I can meet with them to gather the information. I have a background in an agricultural planet which encourages hunting, and thus can speak the language. I was even a vet's assistant in my youth. My aunt and two of my uncles were with the Planetary Forestry Service."
"I've got a good eye, Kenneth, I'll accompany you."

"Not only does it pay well, but the hunting expedition might be fun. If we can fit in the McKinsey thing and the hunters then we should do both. As to the McKinsey thing, I'll ride shotgun if you want to do the talking."
