Sure is an interesting place you've got here. Filled with many interesting people, human and otherwise.

[It's pretty obvious by this particular being's appearance that he's one of these 'otherwise'. He's clearly some sort of alien. This time Bane isn't hiding his face.]

I'm hearing a lot of talk but what are you all doing?

Tell me about yourselves.

[More than wanting idle chit-chat, Bane will be paying attention to what people say - and what they don't. Sizing them up on who might be useful in the future.]


[Private messages are sent to the following: Raina, Newton Geizsler, and Tony Stark. The same message but separately.]

I've been told that you have scientific research that might be of interest to me.

[Hans has seen some fairly strange-looking people around, but NOT HUMAN hasn't immediately been apparent until... right this moment.]

You first.

[Share with the class, etc.]

Video

[cadbane]

There's a lot to tell. What do you want to know?

[Of course there are some things he's just going to keep to himself no matter what is asked.]

Video

[exceptionalthief]

For a start, possibly you could expand on the other than human aspect?

Video

[cadbane]

Many of the people here are human, it seems, but not all imPorts are.

Myself, I'm a Duro.

[Who bear a resemblance to the classic idea of what an alien looks like. Well, aside from the Wild West outfit, in this case...]

Video

[exceptionalthief]

The natives all would be, yes.

[He hopes? Unless this is some alternate version of Earth as far as that goes too, god forbid.]

The imPorter must have quite a long reach.

Video

[cadbane]

So it seems.

There are others from known planets in the galaxy. This Earth isn't one of them.

I have research that interests everyone.

That doesn't mean I'm apt to share it.

[Private video]

[cadbane]

I'm sure that we can come to some mutually beneficial arrangement. If, that is, that you have anything of real use.

[liverletdie]

Oh, I'm sure I do.

But it's gotta be a hell of an offer. I don't run cheap. I don't need the money at all. What is it you're even looking for?

[cadbane]

Right now I just want information.

And I wasn't going to offer you any money. Your name was given to me to pay off some of another's debt so it needs to be worth my while too, pal.

[liverletdie]

Oh, so you want to use me for free, then?

Or what is it you're offering?

[Video]

[prophesiedone]

What else do you need to know? [There are far too many stories about him already, aren't there?]

[Video]

[cadbane]

You're not so much of a secret.

[At least, not to him since he was around when Anakin was a Jedi and so knows something about that time.]

But maybe you have an entertaining tale to tell?

[Video]

[prophesiedone]

I didn't think I would be. [He narrows his eyes, pensive.] Are you missing out on tales of heroism?

[Anakin, you don't have many of those anymore.]

Or are you bored?

[Video]

[cadbane]

Heroics aren't interesting. I'm sure you have other more interesting stories you could tell.

[Really, he's just bluffing for more information.]

You could say that. There isn't a lot to do around here for someone with my talents.

[Video]

[prophesiedone]

Now, now, you're just not putting forth the right sort of effort! I'm sure there are plenty of people with a bounty on their head.

[He snorts.]

I can tell you about the night I got close to a herd of banthas?

Private, video

[driftsintobuffetline]

Oh? That's nice. What research in particular?

Private, video

[cadbane]

About the nanites and how they could be removed or at least nullified.

Private, video

[driftsintobuffetline]

...Allllright.

I'll bite.

Why?

Private, video

[cadbane]

Why would anyone want to be controlled in such a way?

private

[flowerette]

And who told you this?

private

[cadbane]

Dooku.

private

[flowerette]

[ HM. Why is Dooku tossing her name around? ]

What sort of things has he been telling you?

private

[cadbane]

Only that you may have some way to subdue or remove these nanite things.

Or at the very least are researching about it.

private

[flowerette]

No one has been able to subdue or remove the nanites. They're too interwoven in our blood to be able to extract. But we have seen the results of what happens when nanites are shut down a few years ago when LACKEY plugged into the porter. Our organs stop functioning, our immune systems are compromised, and death is usually what follows.

But it is one of the things I continue to research, yes. Are you offering your blood for the cause?
