[Elida] Okay, everybody just chill, alright?
-Keep your shoes on. -[Isaac] It's pants on.
Okay, what I meant was that it's gonna be fine.
He's happy.
He's eating.
And we can trust him WHY?
Oh, because I helped him out a sticky spot a few years ago--
-Aww, that's ni-- --after we were being shot at
by some dudes we were stealing
-Warlashian Chum from. -Ah.
[Elida] Yeah. So... he owes me.
So, he's going to help us
because you once helped him steal food?
-His loyalty's to his stomach. -I get that.
[Elida] Okay. Let's go over the plan.
To get through the force field surrounding Republic Space...
... without blowing anything up...
we'll have to sneak through one of their border control ports.
Okay, wait.Who is what on this thing again?
[Elida] You're the button. Hath, you're the tooth,
Amae, you're the bolt, I'm the dead bug.
[bug skittering]
[Clive] Here, use this.
Okay, this orb represents me.
It's a Harbardarian Sack.
Nasty bit of business... if you pierce the skin.
[Isaac] So THAT is what they look like?
You remember the week we spent spelunking
in the grey waters of Wreckoor looking for one of these?
-Thought it'd be bigger. -Also, pink?
[laughing] Who knew?
That one is on the house. The rest,
I'll sell later in Port 233.
Right, Port 233. Which is where we'll cross.
If I may...
...why aren't we just using the robot's hologram?
[music dies]
Because this took me an hour to build.
[Elida clearing throat]
Besides, I built it before I knew Winni had a holo.
Ahem, so... shall we continue?
-Clive? -Simple, really.
Ships enter through there
and continue through the port for scanning.
And to make it extra fun, all travellers
have to go through buyerscans before heading to customs.
It's like a giant airport in space.
[music slowing]
Airport interrogation facility designed to crush your spirit
before you're allowed to travel?
Just an Earth thing? Carry on.
You three will pose as Clive's crew and you'll enter with him.
And for the rest of us that's on
the Republic's most-wanted list...
we'll have to jump off the ship to avoid the bioscanners,
and then enter through the employee section.
Not only dressed as port workers, but...
acting as port workers, too.
Every good disguise needs a good character.
Uh... might need a bit of a wipe down.
They've been marinating on my ship for a while.
[laughing]
[Elida] So look, each zone is sealed off
by armoured security doors.
All we have to do is take out the guard,
get the pass, then go through all the various levels,
then jump back on the Winni within an hour
before we get shot up into Republic Space.
[Clive] And if any of you meat sticks don't make it back
here in time, I'm leaving you behind to rot.
Would be such a waste.
