Idle Hands, Deadly Intent: The Ghost of Rattatak Demands a Contract

​

The Quiet Hum of Waiting...

In a chaotic, hyper-charged galaxy, silence should be a luxury. For Venya, however, silence is a cage.

The Rattataki assassin known only as “The Ghost” sat hunched in a gloom-soaked cubicle carved into the forgotten bowels of a satellite station orbiting the desolate sector of the Outer Rim. Her skin, unnaturally pale even for her species, seemed to absorb the scant light, giving her the appearance of a statue sculpted from cold synth-ivory.

For three standard months, Venya had been dormant. Waiting, waiting, waiting...

Her last contract—a clean sweep of a Huttese crime syndicate on Teth—had netted her enough credits to disappear for a year, but credits were merely fuel. Her true addiction was the flow. The razor-sharp focus that came only when her paired vibroblades sang through the air, carving perfect, lethal arcs.

Now, she was starved.

A communication from an unknown and encrypted frenquency is being picked up by the station and starts playing. To be heard are stranger words from a different language, followed by a mechanical male voice that glitches sometimes in it's speech.
