Small one, then, and he'll accept Andronikos' advice on oomph.

Then he gets one that'll probably put down most things in a couple shots with holster that fits under his robes.

Useful! Although it does mean the ones he can't shoot down will probably not be super amenable to lightning either but well, he's been fighting.

And then back to the ship.

"So, find anything useful?" he asks the pirate.

"The Hutt who mostly deals with Orrishid's stuff is called Beeadu. No idea if he's actually got them enslaved or what, but if you want the chips, that's who you talk to."

"Thank you."

"No problem. Try not to piss the whole Cartel off, huh."

"I'll try to limit myself to only half of it."

"Heh."

He informs Occlus of their findings and subsequent happenings.

"Are you proficient with a blaster?"

"Not yet."

"A weapon you do not know how to use is a weapon that belongs to your enemy. If you are going to carry a blaster, make learning to use it a priority."

"Yes, ma'am. Might I ask—why do other Force users not carry blasters?"

"Tradition and pride, for the most part. For myself, my strength in the Force is such that I have no need of one."

"Of course."

"As to the matter of the Hutt- I will first see if Intelligence has any relevant information. Officially, Imperial policy is to maintain a cordial relationship with the Cartel. Given the overall goal, we will move cautiously in this."

"That's sensible. I'll see if Andronikos can teach me how to wield this blaster safely."

Nod.

Andronikos?

He can show Rafa how to hold it and stand and aim and so forth.

Is there any technique to it?

There's some, yeah.

Then he'll practise until he's got it down.
