Kreiger entered the pracing Grox and made straight for the bar, seperate from his companions he would watch for anyone paying too much attention to the group. He watched their contact approach, the man said something to the group and gestured subtly towards the door. At a signal Kreiger made his way out the door and caught up with the group.
He heard the instructions about the Blue Moon Inn and about heading there separately. He would make his own way there but first he would have a look around the space port and scope out likely sources of intel. He stopped off at a public information terminal and downloaded a city map to his personal Codex.
He wandered off into the crowds and immersed himself in the hubbub of the busy port. He wandered around until he found the local Arbite Precinct, an ungly heavily fortified fortress that exuded menace. Having found a base point he began wandering further into the city. He took seat at a busy marketplace and studied the crowd, it wasn't long before he spied a small group of young men who were working together to pick the pockets of people in the crowd. They were exceptionally good at it too, however Kreiger had spent his career preventing people like this from robbing imperial citizens. However, now the rules had changed. and he was no longer bound by Arbite rules. He got up and walked through the crowd acting like he was perusing the wares of the traders, it wasn't long before he was makred by one of the lads, it was very subtle. The man walked past him and, as if jostled by the crowd, knocked into Kreiger. Apologizing as he did he then continued on his way, but as he had bumped into Kreiger he had marked the back of his coat with white chalk. A signal to the pickpocket.
Kreiger continued to browse, acting oblivious to the mark until he felt another ever so gentle bump, he smiled, these guys were good, his wallet had gone. He moved off and tailed the culprit, he noted five of them in the group and waited until they moved out of the area, clearly not wanting to stay too long lest they be caught by the local enforcers. They had gathered down a back alley when Kreiger approached them. 'I'll have my wallet back if you don't mind' he said as he joined the group.
They looked at him unsure of what he was. 'Take a hike old man, before you get hurt. It ain't safe round here!' said one of the group, producing a flick knife from his jacket. Kreiger reacted with surprising speed, he grabbed the man by the wrist, wrenched the knife from his hand, spun round behind him and pressed the knife against his throat. 'Well it's a good job I'm good at looking out for myself. Now here's the deal. I get my wallet back and the contents, and I don't go to the Arbites about you. You can keep everything else to took today and you can keep on pick pocketing, but here's the thing. I own you all now! I don't want a cut, all I want is information. Do you understand?' He said looking at each of the other four men. It took a few moments for things to sink in, the group eventually consented and handed back Kreiger's wallet. He released the man he had been holding and returned the knife. 'If anyone tries to muscle in on your operation let me know and me and my associates with deal with it, you have my word. Just let me know of anything 'interesting' that goes on round here.'
'How do we contact you?'
'Leave a message with the barkeeper at the Blue Moon Inn.' Kreiger said as he walked off.
He made his way back through the busy streets and using the map of the city on his Codex, navigated his way to the Blue Moon Inn. He entered and walked to the bar, ordered a local ale. He chatted to the barman for a couple minutes before taking his drink and making his way up to the third floor where his comrades were waiting.
'Well, my time was quite fruitful.' he said as he took a seat and explained what he had been up to.

Kreiger looked at Van Evok as he berated him, he waited until he had finished before speaking. 'You clearly haven't spent much time in civilian life, things work differently off the battlefield. There is such a thing as honor among thieves. They won't tell anyone, they were a low time operation, not connected with anyone who might be on the look out. They don't know we're in the service of the Emperor, they think I'm either a crooked enforcer of some new offworld muscle, they gain nothing but trouble if they sell me out and gain protection from us if they co-operate. They get to keep doing their trade without interference. A bit of coin will sweeten the deal and they'll find that out when they give me some info of use. They value coin, information is cheap to them. Trust me knuckle-dragger, I've been playing this game for decades, I know what I'm doing.'
He leaned back and took a swig of the local Ale, it actually wasn't too bad.
