Well he had the big and slugsih overhead class light freighter. It felt like he had been flying a brick when they had left Dressel. Now they were coming out of hyperspace any minute now over Mimban. The authorities back on Dressel had been left without any clue as to their intentions.
The blue tunnel changed to stars streaking and then the planet came into view. "Well I think things about as smooth as they could have gone." That was his way of saying that things could have been worse, maybe. But they had made it off of Dressel with the ship and that was all that mattered.
He got up from the seat and rolled his shoulders, cracking a few joints in the process. "Alright tin man. You have the helm. I gotta take a leak." He turned and headed out of the cockpit.
It took him a moment to realize he had no idea where the bathroom was on this ship. He could have looked while they were in hyperspace but he had not needed to go then. The rebel had just checked on the cargo momentarily and made sure the transision into hyperspace was as smooth as possible. He did not much care for letting the droid do all the work when going from sublight to lightspeed. It always made him feel uneasy, like he was rolling the dice with eternal oblivion.
Now that they seemed to be nearing the end of their venture he had a sense of relief and the chance to actually relieve himself. Finally finding the bathroom he looked at how it could probably use a deep clean but then remembered again, this was not his ship and he was not going to waste time being picky.
"Mister Drast, we have five incoming ships at high speed. They do not appear to be friendly."came the droid's voice over the ships inner communication system. Swearing under his breath the man shook his junk and zipped up his pants before heading up to the light laser turret he had spotted earlier.
Just as he got seated several laser cannon shots wizzed past the ship missing it. "sonofa-" instead of finishing his sentence Brent rotated the turret and pulled the firing studs so that a stream of light laser cannon fire streaked across not one but two enemy starfighters. The first one clipped its wing and spiraled into the second taking the two of them out together. "friggin pirates!"
