Ask Hunter and Prey

[Minerva Wren]

Forest Moon of Endor, Moddell Sector, Outer Rim, Territories
​

Mist covered the bases of trees as storm clouds gathered above. Kneeling to the ground with the left knee, Minerva Fhirdiad waited. She looked out to the forest in front of her yards away. Behind the armored warrior was an Auxiliary Starfighter from the Rim Hopper. Eisa, her captain and the buzzdroid Curse were occupied with scavenging debris and ship wreckage left by the space battle over the forest moon long ago.

Knowing those two they will find something and it won’t be boring. A chuckle escaped her at the thought while crickets chirped nearby and an unknown let out its call in the distance far north. The Endorian forest had a certain charm from Minerva’s point of view.

It was harsh yet beautiful and it’s natural inhabitants certainly understood it more than any outsider like herself could possibly know. Standing up Minerva Checked her blaster rifle again and remarked.

“They should be here shortly.”

A few rotations ago she received a contract to eliminate a sizable pirate band called the Dreadlocks that was becoming rather aggressive throughout the whole sector. Of course the credits were good and it was an exicicting challenge but it was the fact that the Dreadlock captain had been known to loot Mandalorian armor and weapons and sell it on the galactic black market that convinced her to take the job.

Underneath the helmet Minerva gritted her teeth in silent fury. His life is forfeit, he just doesn’t know it yet. Subsequently she heard the whine of engines above and looked. Her scowl became a fierce grin as thunder began to roar. The Vod were here.

After accepting the contract, Minerva had sent out a coded message about it on Mandalorian frequency and it was answered by a party of two willing to assist. Watching the vessel descend she nodded, eager for what’s to come.

[Dolworth]

The Raza was in hyperspace, en route to the forest planet of Endor. Dolworth was in the back, letting Dusty do the flying as he prepped in the back. The Mandalorian, cleared for not being a fake by sources, had sent a transmission concerning a pirate with a major bounty on their head. But it wasn't the bounty that made Dolworth answer the call...It was the fact the Huttun was capturing and selling Mandalorian Beskar on the black market. This dishonor could not be ignored, even if there was no money reward. Bounty or no Bounty, this slime would bleed. That was all Dolworth was thinking as he prepped His A280C and both DL-44s. Each would be loaded to the brim and have two extra cells...three if he could carry. He also had purchased a rather healthy amount of explosives that he intended to carry with him...and intended to use. After ensuring his ranged weaponry and explosives were set, he finished his prep with cleaning his armor and sharpening his vibroknife. He was intending for this to get messy as he looked over at Dusty, who in turn said how much time left before they would exit hyperspace.

"23 Minutes huh?" he asked as he slid his knife into its scabbard, "Very good. The plan will be to exit and get me close to the surface. I'll jump out and then you break for higher orbit. I've got a plan but I'll need information and that means recon. And if this plan goes, I don't want my ship unguarded so I'll need you somewhere safe in the system clear?" he stated. Dusty gave a whirl in acknowledgement before turning and focused on flying the Raza while Dolworth began his final preparations.

23 minutes later and the Raza jolted out of hyperspace and in view of Endor. The BNT-Y Wing Gunship, basically a larger version of the famous Y-Wing Bomber, flew gracefully towards the intended rendezvous point and opened its starboard hatch. Without a word, Dolworth jumped and landed, loaded for bear and ready as the Raza sealed its hatch and broke for higher orbit. Dolworth watched as it left sight before turning and began to hoof it, hoping that this wasn't some bloody trap...
