Lothal Depot, Near the city of Jalath
Inside a former Imperial cell was a pair of human gangsters in brown makeshift gear, staring down at their captive tied to a chair. Panting Chant Sindhu looked up at them with her left eye bruised and mouth bleeding. They smirked at her discomfort before one of them, a dark haired man with a long ponytail asked. “Ready to talk now fish bait?”
At first the blue Mon Calamari did nothing but stare before she slowly nodded. “Come closer and I’ll tell ya.” Chant whispered to him. Pleased the ponytail leaned over to her face hear what the prisoner had to confess. Without warning Chant spit in his right eye. The would-be interrogator cried out as blood and saliva struck true into his pupil. Recoiling back the ponytail gangster wiped his eye with both hands while the woman with the shaved head next to him drew her pistol to shoot Chant in the temple.
”Stop!” Her partner shouted angrily raising one hand in gesture. Now staring daggers at the beaten yet defiant Chant, he remarked. “Remember what the boss said? We need this one alive..” Shaved head rolled her eyes in annoyance. “This schutta hasn’t told us anything about where her ship is and the cargo. We’re wasting our time.”
Waving off her objections pointytail replied. “Now, now sweetheart good things come to those who wait.” Glancing back at Chant he cracked his knuckles together.
”Time for our next session.”

Meanwhile outside with the night sky high above, a green R-6 astromech rolled into the perimeter of the supply depot. Using a section of large containers shaped into a labyrinth-like formation as cover the droid pressed on. Ness, tried to stay as quiet as possible. Her organic friend, Chant was in trouble and there no way in the universe that is she going to leave her to die in an dump like this place. The droid suddenly detected footsteps coming her way.
Making a quick decision Ness hide in the left corridor behind several dursteel barrels. A minute later an Aqualish in an yellow suit walked murmuring to himself while examining a datapad in hand. Once the thug was long gone and out of sight, Ness made a soft bleep before pressing on. Soon enough the astromech came out of the makeshift maze now beholding one of more than dozen landing pads the depot had. Some were filled with freighters and smaller craft.
There were a few gangsters spread out in the area patrolling or lounging about as worker droids were busy with their various tasks. Taking the chance that no one would pay much attention to another droid, Ness rolled on toward the main facility from the east side tracing Chant’s secret signal hailing from there. Stopping in front of a locked door Ness twisted her dome head left then right to make sure no one noticed before plugging a data probe into the door controls. Little did the machine realized there is another infiltrating the depot...
