Gotal sighs, "That's a complication I don't think we considered. My impression was that the cargo was already paid for.
Is there some way that we can pay part now and have Maya transfer the rest later? Getting this cargo out and getting us off of the station quickly is likely the best way to continue to avoid entangling yourself with Imperial investigations".
Persuasion
Switch observes Gotal, and says, "Unfortunately, seeing as I don't know if I can trust you to uphold your end of the agreement, I cannot agree to that. However, I believe we could find an alternate arrangement. Perhaps, if you were willing to keep me apprised of things you learn as you travel throughout the galaxy, I would be able to lower the price I ask now. For each of you that agrees to send me information you learn in your travels, I will lower the fee by two-hundred credits. Is that agreeable to you?"
"I find that acceptable. On the condition that this information is kept away from the Empire or any of their informants." says Ace.
"Affirmative." Zixto says without hesitation.
Switch says, "Excellent. That makes two of you, and brings the payment down to 600 credits. Would the rest of you care to offer your services as well, or are you content with that amount?"
Gotal shrugs, "I am fine with this arrangement. Is there a secure comm or channel on which we can contact you?"
He checks, "That brings us down to 400 credits, I have at least 200 to spare, can the rest of you cover the remaining balance?"
Rilri tilts his head to one side, considering Switch's offer, before nodding. "Your proposal is acceptable. We are united by little save our hatred of the Empire, and what information I gather I will freely share with you to further our shared goals."
"Wonderful! I'm so pleased we could come to this arrangement. For 200 credits, I will provide you with the location of the cargo."
Switch awaits payment.
Gotal nods and provides Switch with the credits necessary to complete the transaction.
