Private to Security

[archeologue]

[Private to Security]

I wish to turn myself in. Any security personnel, you may come to my rooms at the resort and arrest me. I am unarmed and will not resist arrest.

I am guilty, very guilty. I have stolen artifacts and assisted in smuggling them off the planet, I have been guilty of associating with criminal organizations, I have willfully attempted to cause another man's death. I should be locked safely away for the good of the community.

[And safely away where Jabba and his bounty hunters and Orion thugs can't get to him, looking for a diamond sword that he doesn't have. Belloq knows that Jabba doesn't forgive people he thinks have stolen from him. Time in prison, with possibility of parole or escape, is better than becoming dinner for Jabba's pets.]

Do you not believe that a man can acquire a guilty conscience?

[Belloq doesn't sound like a man with a guilty conscience.]

Artifacts are sold through the Orions almost exclusively here. The Orions are the only gang that has no interest in the well-being of Blackway. They're also the ones that will literally take lost expenses directly out of your hide and sell them on the black market.

I think that might egg on a guilty conscience a little bit.

Come in. How much you divulge about your buyers will probably dictate any sort of plea bargain. The most we can verify through psychic interference is a non-specific lie detector scan, so while we can only take information you willingly give we will know if you're bullshitting us.

[Belloq thinks to himself that Chief Kay knows the Orions' modus operandi well.]

I have nothing to hide. I would not be turning myself in now if I were not ready to talk. I will tell you all I know of the Orions' operations.

[Yes, it will get him in further trouble with the Orions, but one can't be more dead than dead, so it doesn't really matter very much. And anything that inconveniences them increases his own chances.]

[most_feared]

Welp. Just hang in there and someone will be by to pick you up. We'll see how it goes. Current location?

[archeologue]

[He gives his hotel room number.]

I will be waiting.

The door is locked to keep out [Orions] intruders, but I will open it when the phrase quis custodiet is spoken.

[Just saying he'll open to security isn't safe enough. Any smart bounty hunter could claim that they come from security, open the door, sir.]
