The
haul from
Brosi was secured.
Zinsian sealed in its reinforced containers and the
Hfredium clamped down in its crates. CT-312 had already sent a transmission out to the anonymous poster behind
The Mailor Heist. BARCA received streams of compressed burst packets. Notifying the Scout of coordinates, authentications, and instructions. All pointed toward the
Outer Rim Territories. Specifically: Lianna City,
Halquaran District.
As the
ship broke through the atmosphere, the ship navigated through the streams of speeders cutting across the sky in layered traffic lanes. City towers loomed jagged and dark. Inside the ship’s hold, CT-312 moved with methodical precision. Double checking. Hands tugging on the straps and clamps. Confirming the payload was secured onto the
War-X and
Pred-X quadrupedal battle droids. Heavy frames thudded against the metal deck with each shift of weight. The battle droids were an added
insurance. If this rendezvous turned into a warzone.
Arriving at the Halquaran District, the ship’s repulsors fired. Slowing its descent. The designated dock was a duracrete slab jutting out from one of the structure’s sides. Hydraulic struts lowered as the ship’s ramp hissed open. With mag-boots activated, a dull
clack as they locked onto the metal, CT-312 began walking down the opening ramp. Stepping out into the open.
Her visor swept the docking bay area. Spotting a figure. Waiting. Their silhouette outlined in the passing headlights from the sky lanes above. Just as the transmission described. They had a short window. In and out. Fast.
Efficient. Just how CT-312 preferred it.
The mag-boots deactivated as the Scout jumped down before the ship even fully docked onto the landing struts. Each step was calculated as her hand brushed against the stock of her rifle that slung low at her side. Gaze locked on the waiting figure as she made her way towards them. CT-312 needed confirmation first. Payload after. She didn’t waste time on pleasantries. Giving a short nod of acknowledgment. A single word left the helmet’s modulator, flat and kind of monotone
“Mailor.” A short confirmation of the bounty’s name.
