It would take a devout Givin theoretician a lifetime to calculate just how many stories there are in the multi-leveled city of Coruscant, but Slyther Bushforb will tell you that he's heard them all. A private investigator (or "private dack" as he calls himself), he was a Nuknog with a talent for keeping his snout attuned to the pulse of the streets and the flow of crime. The case that had him seated at Dex's Diner the same day Obi-Wan Kenobi walked in looking for information was one that started like so many, with a woman.
虔诚的吉文理论家大概要花上一辈子的时间才能计算出，在层层叠叠的科洛桑城市里究竟蕴藏着多少故事，但斯莱特尔·布什福布会告诉你，所有的故事他都听说过。作为一名私家侦探（他自称“私家探客”），他有着努克诺格人与生俱来的天赋，能依靠吻部感受街道上的风吹草动与罪犯的蛛丝马迹。欧比-旺·克诺比到德克斯餐馆寻找线索的那天，他也坐在那里查案。这起案件和其它许多案件一样，是从一个女人开始的。

It was a dark night, one that would have undoubtedly been stormy had Coruscant's Weather Control Network permitted it. Not many Nuknogs ever left the filthy swamps of Sump, which is why he knew the dame that walked into his office was trouble with a capital trill. She was a sight to behold, all right, with flushed display bulbs and a cold glint in her eye that would either break your heart or freeze it solid. Her name was Vekka Lodik, and she was the personal assistant of Seboca, the Dug actor enjoying some fame from his latest starring vehicle, Airtaxi Driver. Between puffs of a slender cigarra, she recounted to him how some palooka was gunning for the matinee idol.
那是一个漆黑的夜晚，如果科洛桑天气控制网允许，那晚准会下暴雨。很多努克诺格人从未离开过桑姆普星球肮脏的沼泽地，所以当那位夫人走进布什福布的办公室时，布什福布知道她为什么对基本语大写字母“Trill”感到不自在。无疑，她是位值得多看两眼的美女，红润的头冠和冷峻的目光既让你心碎，又让你窒息。她叫薇卡·洛迪克，达格演员塞波卡的私人助理。塞波卡最新主演的影片《空中出租车司机》令他享誉影坛。洛迪克一边抽着细长的女士烟，一边告诉布什福布，有个蠢货想杀害那位女影迷心中的偶像。

Bushforb and his pal Rednax agreed to meet with her boss at Slyther's favorite ardees joint, Dex's Diner. The meeting went smooth as Ottegan silk, save for Seboca's annoyance when the Dug noticed a "Jedi poodoo" seated in an adjacent booth. Still, Slyther's smooth-talking put the Dug at ease, and when Seboca left, Slyther had the job.
布什福布和搭档雷德纳克斯同意跟她的老板会面，地点定在斯莱特尔最喜爱的阿迪斯酒供应点——德克斯餐馆。这次会面进行得就像奥特加丝绸一样顺畅，不过当塞波卡注意到附近坐着一个“绝地poodoo*”时，他感到非常不爽。幸好，斯莱特尔的话安抚了这个达格人。塞波卡走后，斯莱特尔有事做了。

He began his legwork there, waiting for the Jedi to leave to ask Dex a few questions. The Besalisk was always good for a rumor or two. Dex had heard something: a hunt that led Bushforb to other clues. Soon, he was sniffing out a solid lead from an old buddy in the Bounty Hunters Guild, which led to a run-down flat beneath Pom Plaza registered to a Dug named Manoca.Bushforb burst in, only to find Vekka holding a gun on him. She'd been the one out to bump off her boss all along. "Manoca" was just an alias Seboca used to keep a low profile, and when he showed up at his own secret pad, she planned to rub out the Dug, with Bushforb taking the fall.But he was nobody's patsy, not even for a looker like Vekka. She clearly hadn't learned to handle her rod on the mean streets of the underlevels, and when she glanced away, Bushforb got the drop on her. He pulled his own piece and gave her a nasty case of light poisoning.
他就从德克斯餐馆开始调查取证。等那个绝地离开后，他问了德克斯一些问题。这个贝萨利斯克人总能告诉你一、两个传闻。德克斯听说：有人在追杀塞波卡。布什福布顺藤摸瓜开始寻找其它线索。很快，他从赏金猎人公会里的一个老朋友那儿得到一条可靠的消息。这条消息把他带到庞姆广场下的一间破旧公寓。该公寓已被一个叫马诺卡的达格人登记注册。布什福布强行闯入，却发现薇卡拿枪指着他。原来，她一直想杀死她的老板。“马诺卡”只是塞波卡为了不引起别人注意而使用的化名。当他在自己的秘密公寓现身时，薇卡便打算干掉这个达格人，然后栽赃嫁祸布什福布。但布什福布没那么容易上当，尤其不会上一个美女的当。薇卡显然没有学会如何在科洛桑简陋的下层街道耍枪。布什福布趁她走神的时候迅速拔枪瞄准。他扣动了扳机，一道极具杀伤力的光芒令她痛苦地倒下了。
