Zatteh, didn't Redozoko warn you that it's dangerous to be out here in the woods alone? Navasi asks.

That's not a bear at all! Is that some kind of dressed-up mecha? I wonder who is inside...
Finish off that red one!
Navasi again focuses her fire on the what she perceives to be the most imminent threat Just take 'em down one by one, you'll scare off the rest that way!
I think you need to warn him a bit more! Navasi says, drawing her fronstbite pistol and shooting
Well, this swamp here is so rotten, it almost makes me feel at home. Almost. Navasi is not an outdoors person, but presses on anyway. No bears to far...
Navasi is still a bit rattled by the grossness of the birds Do you think there might be a some truth behind the dangers of this forest? We've heard the citizens talk about the dangers, and these birds weren't even mentioned.
Let me give it a shot Navasi says, This is going to sting a bit
Navasi sees the yellow bird being severly hurt by the group, so instead focuses on the other one!
Navasi tries to mark out her target with blasts of cold, but mostly seems to be aiming at trees.
Navasi makes a swift sideways movement which seems to go nowhere, then shoots at the closest bird with her zero pistol.
Navasi is on her toes, and is sure to warn her allies of any impendig attack Watch out:
When a foe makes a ranged attack against an ally within 60 feet of Navasi, she can warn the ally as a reaction. The ally can use a reaction to gain a +4 bonus to AC against that single attack and then falls prone. She draws her plasma pistol, preparing to shoot, but also hoping that one of the team can calm down those birds before they become a threat. If they move our way, get the closes one first!
Navasi expects the worst We're walking right into it, aren't we?
Yup Navasi says to Grump Guess it's time to meet our host now. She feels in her pocket for a smoke grenade, and moves after Redozoko.
He leans forward and lowers his voice. “My meal came with a note… ‘The Mongers are always watching.’ I don’t remember seeing the term Monger anywhere here. Does that ring a bell from the archive search?” Can't say it does. We did see plenty of fishy things, so Mongers is a good term if you ask me. We still haven't found any sign of whoever this colony is trading those hangover rocks with, and we've met plenty of people that seem to in on whatever scheme they have going here. Navasi says there's also at least one person on our side. Did you see who put this note there?
Well, you know what that means, right? We don't eat any food that we haven't seen anyone else eating. Navasi says, her left hand quickly checking if her blaster is still in the right place.
I only dance to the Vercodisco... ---
♫ We're not in Cuvacara
Nice Shindig Navasi remarks dryly Want to join me for a dance, Grump? Navasi reckons she might as well enjoy herself, and dancing is the best excuse to move around a lot while looking around.
Arms, not bears, huh? Who would have thought. Navasi says with a hint of sarcasm.
Tonhue, then. Let's see what we can find on the founder!
Oooh, it says here there's a statue of her somewhere...
I think these archives are a dead end, the juicy bits have been redacted. I don't think it's a setup, but whoever is maintaining these archives doesn't store the top secret material here. Navasi says, slightly worried about spending too much time trespassing.
I must say, I'm not surprised to find this here, seeing what they have prowling in orbit. I agree with Iseph, though. A bunch of wild animal would not need an arsenal like this. And you'd probably want to keep it in a more convenient location too... This might be... Navasi shudders at the thought ...local politics. The kind we may not want to get involved in? Though we haven't seen any indication of rivalling factions here, only single people voicing some dissent.
They've been doing this for a long time, started almost as soon as this colony was founded.
In case:
Well Navasi says, cracking her knuckles, who's getting coffee? This is going to take a while.
You think they'll allow us in there? Navasi wonders.
You get many that misbehave? Navasi asks, checking out the human to see how 'serious' of a sheriff she's dealing with.
Good going, Navasi says, grateful to avoid another headache, It's pretty clear that everybody is so hush-hush about this mine. This thing is huge, so apart from that general store type, and Roget, everybody would just be working here. They must have a good supply chain out there... she says, pointing to the sky. Her voice grows dark with a sudden realization It might also explain that weapons system. Hells, do you think they shot at us on purpose?
Navasi is about to slink off, but then notices Iseph has this well in hand. She'll just watch from a distance, ready to jump in in case anything gets out of hand. Let them work their magic she whispers they know what they're doing
Navasi is always good to some good-old theatrics, and rushes over to Grump Medic! Medic! Is there a doctor nearby? Grump! Stay with me! Look at me! I said, Today is not your day! Stay away from the man with the hat!
Ahh, the 'sitting-on-the-fence' trick she whispers to Grump as she stands over him nice one
Okay, so what does this all mean? There must be quite substantial trading going on, but everybody is trying to hide it and make it seem they're just completely self-made. Is it because the stuff they trade is toxic?
Well, if those minerals were toxic, we'd better be careful here that we don't run into concentrated stuff!
It's either that or we see if that hospital has invented analgesic II yet. Navasi says, eager to take option 1: Grump's help. Much appreciated, Grump, I owe you one!
Green lasers? Navasi says, knowing that rubies were used in some old-fashioned red lasers. But still, gemstones... so tacky to make all of that fuss over them.
Precious stones? What do you make of this, Grump? That's what they're trying to hide from us? Seems a bit.... materialistic.
Navasi shrugs, and deadpans I wish it would shut up more Just to be safe, she does ensure the ship is actually locked, and that nobody has been in there.
Why are we here, did you forget to lock it? Navasi asks of the starship, not really spotting anything.
He's already running away now, let's not cause him further distress. Maybe we'll run into him later, this is a small town after all. Let's see, construction supplies, medicals food. I think the satchel of goodies in empty now, right? Shall we go for a hike?
Well, that Vesk was full of it. No new visitors... except for the ones dropping supplies about every month. What a load of Buk. Navasi says.
Okido! Navasi says, trying to smile brightly, though as soon as she moves to the back of the store her face flashes back to 'resting state'. For her, this is a good opportunity to look around and see what this store holds.
Supply drops, eh? Navasi whispers, Are these dates recent? Is there a pattern to them?
Buk droppings! Navasi says I might not be a brain surgeon, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out that's a little too coincidental to be true. What's going on here?
Can't be a good doctor if you can read the handwriting, Navasi says sideways to Amariel, My doctor usually just writes _____^./ole` To the Doctor, she says Home made? You seem to be quite up to speed with modern medicine?
I guess we'll get to see all the vicious rock bear injuries here, Navasi says with a hint of sarcasm Guesse we're on an off-peak hour. Good time to drop those supplies! She announces herself at the reception desk Starfinders here, could we talk to a doctor? We're here to drop off some supplies
Is the way through the forest the only way to the mine? How do workers get there safely? Navasi asks Doesn't sound like a very safe working environment
Maybe we swing by the hospital to drop off our supplies before we head into the forest?
What followers do you get here? Navasi asks.
Navasi is slightly weirded out by this sudden garage sale of holy symbols
The name's Navasi. Navasi says as she listen to the somewhat surprising comments of Iseph Good observation... I wonder where this goes. She patiently awaits an answer, but would have questions of her own Does this church have many followers among the colonists here? Navasi knows very little of religion, so feel a bit out of her comfort zone here.
“I wonder if we hit a nerve with her. That was… abrupt.” I grew up with a pretty intense family, so I can relate to some sensitivities. I can't quite put my finger on it either, but I feel there's more at play here
We might find some answers there on these 'family values' that are imposed?
Owwww. Look at them! Which one is Dora again? You must be so happy being an uncle to these two... I'm afraid my own relatives were lost to me long ago Navasi says, that last bit admittedly being a bit... loosely phrased. But my friends are like my family, and I'd defend them form anything! How is family tradition around here, then? You can't even leave for a short period?
You think so? I mean, Apostae bloodsports have quite the rep, and Akitonian siltraces are quite cool, but most of the time people just talk about Castrovel Cricket. That stuff is boring! Hey, if you want you can hitch a ride with us once we're done here! she offers.
