The computer directs you over to a storage room along one of the walls. You knock on the door, though you don't expect an answer, and, to your surprise, it opens. Inside is a Trandoshan who is crouched over in the corner fiddling with something. You approach him and he says, "Hello, I'm Gosst, I'm in charge of selling you equipment and weapons. How may I help you?" You jump back startled. "How can you speak Basic?" you ask. Gosst laughs and says, "I had a vocabulator installed in my throat. When I switch it on it automatically translates my voice into Basic. I bought it after I got my last salary." You stare at him in amazement before speaking again. "Umm, I'm here to get some equipment and weapons," you say. Gosst laughs again and says, "Why of course you are. Just take a look around and once you find what you want come back and talk to me." He turns back to whatevere he's fiddling with and you look around at all the stuff…
