There's endless value in recycling typical experiences from everyday life, exporting them to a campaign world context.
- Before casting a spell from a magical scroll, you have to scan through and agree to multiple pages of terms and conditions.
- Your neural skill-chip implant reboots mid-way through a karate fight to install a required security patch.
- Attempting to scry on someone using a crystal ball, only to get a "no signal" message.
- You're trying to sneak past guards in the dark when your infrared stealth helmet interrupts live feed for a couple of unskippable ads.
- A wizard's dungeon puzzle where you have to identify which squares contain horse-drawn wagons.
Commentary by memnarch (who has not seen the movie)
A quest item? Proof of being a related Resistance group? Actually a personal momento? A surveillance chip? Okay, probably not that last one; I don't think Star Wars has had anything that compact and flat for spying with. And maybe not the memento either since there's no chain for it to be a necklace or a place to put a hand or finger through.
Interesting that the visor vanished. A sign that Zorii is trying to impress on Poe that the disc is important? Or maybe just the writers trying to humanize the otherwise faceless person. Honestly though, my first thought was really "did that zoop up into the top or the bottom of the helmet?" Because that'd be just the unnecessary neat detail a Daft Punk helmet in Star Wars would have.
Corey obviously doesn't know about dramatic cuts. Maybe that only counts if Poe finds out more about that dagger in the next page though? Or it could be a sign that Zorii already knows about the factory being a setup, and the GM wants to see what kind of mess Jim makes by (not) sharing that info to the rest of the players.
Transcript
Zorii: This is the only thing close to treasure I have.
Poe: What is it?
Zorii: “Delivery Attempt Failed: Collect at authorised First Order facility.”
Poe: For a package?
Zorii: I don’t even know what it is. Like hell I’m gonna walk into a First Order facility. Probably trap bait.
Poe: Maybe it’s valuable!
Zorii: And I was at home at the time! They never even bothered to knock!
Poe: Damn. That’s worse than blowing up planets.
Zorii: It’s the First Order. What do you expect?
Zorii: You gotta be wary of anything that makes promises. You never know who’s plotting to lure you into a death trap.
Poe: I’m too clever for traps like that.
Zorii: You know that dagger you followed here?
Poe: Yeah, what about it?

BB-8: Well at least we know nothing bad can happen to us with those two out of the room.
