Blaring music, inadequate seating, and a distasteful amount of organic lifeforms. Mack's creators would call this fine establishment a cantina, but the droid preferred the term cesspool. Unfortunately, the ancient assassin droid was not here to kill the local cantina goers. No, this fine establishment on Lok was simply a stepping stone for a far greater plan, which sounded contradictory when the droid processed this "thought".
Great plans and the planet of Lok did not complement each other. Lok was a dust ball, and a horribly mismanaged dust ball at that. The ruling class of Lok had an interesting reputation in the Outer Rim. Mack suspected that if every senator in the galaxy came together to vote for an example of "what not to do" when ruling an organic tribe, Lok would win the vote. Which is why I am here, Mack reasoned.
Someone had posted a hefty bounty on a representative from Lok. The target was Senator Horib Leman, age 57, and the bounty would only be complete upon proof of death. When Mack had inquired why, the bounty poster provided a list of atrocities committed by the charming Senator. The list included everything from poisoning water supplies, to enslaving a small village to build a maze in the middle of the wilderness for no discernible purpose.
Senator Horib Lehman was not the only strange individual in this bounty's proceedings, the bounty contractor had also done something extremely unusual. The contractor recommended that a team of hunters was assembled specifically for this bounty. The droid had also inquired as to why this was the case, but had received no answer from the contractor on this issue, which would normally violate the fourth tenet of the bounty hunter's guild. The contractor ignored the droid's question, and instead stated that each hunter would receive a payout of 40,000 credits upon proof of completion if the individual hunter had already registered for the bounty and had checked in with a bounty board through a terminal on Lok before the Senator's death. Naturally, the droid demanded a 20,000 credit down payment. Because the contractor's money had cleared, the droid found itself standing in this wonderful establishment.
Mack had been tipped off that the Senator frequented this wonderful establishment. However, Mr. Leman had not entered the cantina for at least three days according to the building's security records, which Mack had just accessed through less than legal means. Mack was about to leave the cantina when an official Lok government broadcast began playing on holo-terminals scattered throughout the room, and on those screens Mack saw the one and only Senator Horib Leman.
