A Smuggler walks into the Devs offices.
As he passes through the door his duster flowing behind him in that oh-so-cool manner seeing the developers working madly on "What would you like to do from your mount?", thinking smuggle of course.
Suddenly the lights go out.
A muffled voice behind him commands "Stop, sensors indicate you are carrying slicing tools, you must be a smuggler!" The smuggler spins and drops to a crouch pulling his blaster at the same time.
No one is there, just a speaker on the wall
Suddenly the lights come back on.
The Smuggler, spins back around
The room is empty of people, a single piece of paper floats to the ground.
Dead slience...
The Smuggler saunters over to the piece of paper, his duster flowing in that oh-so-cool manner.
Picking up the paper, it reads, Smuggler Revamp at the top. The rest is blank
Walking around the office the Smuggler sees not a soul. Thinking, "this must be where the devs got the idea for vanishing MOBs"
"I'll have to bring a Ranger with me next time to track these guys." he mutters as he leaves the offices.
Five minutes pass
"I don't hear him, do you hear him?"
"Nope, I think he's gone"
Slowly hatches under each desk open up.
"Whew, that was a close one, any of those smugglers try that again and will have to nerf Feign Death"
"We already nerfed Feign Death"
"We did?"
"Ya, last patch"
"Hmm, what's next? We could nerf slicing!"
"Nope can't do that, the bounty huinters need their armor and weapons sliced to fight Jedi"
"Faction Points?"
"It would slow down the GCW"
"Last Ditch!?"
"Ya, probably, that doesn't affect anyone else"

Our persistant Smuggler has convienced his Ranger friend to come out of the woods and help him track the elusive devs
Smuggler
I tell ya, I walked in, I heard a voice behind me. I spin around the lights go out. Then when I turn around they are all gone.
Ranger
Gone where?
Haven't the slightest, they just vanished. All I found was this one piece of paper (pulls a folded up piece of paper out of his pocket and hands it to the Ranger)
It's blank. Hmmp, not surprised. So you want me to track them?
Yes, I know you can't track in buildings, but we could always hit the perimeter when they vanish.
I guess, I still think it odd that they just despawned just because you show up.
I'm tellin' ya, they had sensors.
Sensors for what? Sliced weapons? Everyone carries sliced weapons.
No, no, no! Slicing tools!
So you left them home?
hmmm, well no. (Ranger scowles) It's habit Man. Anyway you have no room to talk, your entire life is in your pack. Do you even have a house?
(Ranger getting irritated) YES, I Have a house, I just don't go there often (He finishes quietly)
The Ranger and the Smuggler get to the Dev's offices, walking up to the door
Smuggler
So are they here?
Looks that way, a lot of recient activity. (Ranger kneels down, put his finger on a wet spot on the sidewalk, smells finger) Latte, Half caf, half decaf, South American blend, would have to say Venezula, Harvested late season 2% milk with added nutmeg powder. I would say 7 minutes ago.
So they should still be here?
Never know, a lot can happen in 7 minutes.
The Smuggler and Ranger head into the Dev's Office
Looking around at all the activity the Ranger whispers - So at what point did they despawn?
When I walked through that door (Smuggler points to a doorway between the waiting room all the cubicals)
Ok, I'll go first, (Scowling) since you can't seem to detatch yourself from your slicing tools
Hey! It's the only way for a neutral to make any money (Thinking Why did I come back with a ranger, far to pragmatic)
The Ranger walks through the door
...
...
Nothing happens, he motions for the smuggler to follow
Smuggler slowly approaches the door.
Tiggs looks up, - Hey everyone a Smuggler!!! She says with glee
With lots of cheers and applaud the Smuggler walks into the room
Tiggs - Here is the initial concept for you and the rest of the community.
Smuggler reads the concept, Looks pretty good
Ranger - You waisted my time for this? You Smugglers.... I mean YOU told me that they just vanished and all... You said you needed a tracker
But they did. I'm tellin' ya they just... Oh heck.
So MY tracking fee is 100k an hour. Its been an hour and half
Umm I'm kinda light on credits at the moment, can we call it even at 50k
100k!
75?? and a crate of muon? What does a ranger need money for anyway. I take you anywhere you need to go. Anyway I still have not gotten the smell of rancor hides out of my hold from the last time I picked you up on Dath
Well, considering I didn't actually have to do any work...
I'll pay you as soon as I get back to my ship, I promise.
Heard that before (Ranger walks out of the room shaking his head and mumbling) smugglers
