Imperial Informant
We've learned that a small-time fixer by the name of Nool Vinklex is trying to track down Zero Company and sell us out to the Empire. Our sources tell us that Vinklex is a desperate, hapless character: he owes gambling debts to the Pykes, and is going after Zero Company in a last-ditch attempt to get enough credits to pay them off.
The choice
What the operation puts to you, and how each answer turned out. Where a choice has two outcomes, it is one that can go wrong.
AOffer him money to leave us alone. A small price to keep the Empire off our tails.
We offered Vinklex a small sum to forget he ever heard of Zero Company, with a warning that if he sold us out to the Empire, he wouldn't live to collect the bounty. Vinklex accepted; he knew a good deal when he saw one.
BIgnore him. The Empire won't take Vinklex seriously, and neither should we.
We ignored Vinklex. No harm has come of it, so far. The Empire has better things to do than chase down every lead.
CTell the Pykes where Vinklex is. The risk is too great to ignore.
We informed the Pykes where Vinklex is hiding out. In return, they shared some intel with us. We don't hear anything more about Vinklex, and the Empire doesn't hear anything more from Vinklex about us.
