Deep Space
Somewhere Along the Corellian Run
Life aboard the Dauntless was relatively routine most days. Always on the move, the crew of the EC21 Galaxon-A Escort Cruiser worked in designated shift rotations every day and did so with due diligence. The ship's size made the crew's own a bit extensive, and as such there were people who simply didn't know others even though they were crew-mates. There were also areas of the ship that not everyone had visited, like the ship's brig, which was currently occupied with a special guest. Of course, there were still rumors, especially after some had seen the "guest" boarding the ship clad in massive chains and neural dampeners and surrounded by both Jedi and Rebel marines. Whispers of a Sith being imprisoned aboard the Dauntless ran rampant and they grew in size and strength as they went. Some of the crew were absolutely positive that the Dark Lord of the Sith was trapped in their ship's holds.
Needless to say, with the prisoner came a small army of specialized guards. Both Jedi and Imperial Marshalls kept watch over the brig as did the ship's regular security forces. All of them felt a certain degree of tension during the prisoner's active periods when he was interrogated relentlessly by a special team. The interrogators themselves felt a certain degree of tension as their subject didn't speak Basic but rather a strange guttural dialect that even their translation droid couldn't quite interpret. Luckily they'd found someone who could understand it, but the fact that they relied on a translator made the going tough.
The captain of the vessel, however, seemed to be the only one aboard who couldn't care less about the prisoner aboard his ship. His only real thought in regards to the imprisoned Sith was a slight wonder at why they didn't just kill him and get it over with. After all, that Jedi Master woman who had delivered him a week before had already used the information she'd gleaned from her prey to strike a blow against the Imperium.
Naturally, the captain would have been a bit more concerned if he knew that even now, his ship was being followed.
