Song sat in the backseat of the landspeeder Threepio had stolen back in Coronet City. For all her Mandalorian ways, she had her seatbelt on tight around her waist. She didn’t trust the droid for a second when it came to driving. They had nearly crashed into a passing swoop bike, almost ran over an elderly couple crossing the street, and drove onto the curb while turning at least a dozen times. Each time she asked the droid to pull aside and let her take the wheel, she was swiftly ignored.

It was a miracle the Mandalorian was even still alive.

Eventually, they reached their destination. The docks outside of the city, where shipyards left to rust and the crashing waves of a polluted sea welcomed their arrival. Unbuckling, Song slid out of the vehicle and planted her feet onto solid ground, thankful. She drew in a sigh, then glanced over to the droid. She might’ve been wearing a helmet, but her irritation was easy to spot.

Remind me never let you drive again,” she said, before shifting her focus back to the docks.

A run-down mess. Abandoned buildings covered in tarps and shattered windows. Shady-looking strangers who watched them with careful, suspicious glares. Not much to begin with, Song knew, and she found it hard to come up with a game plan on tracking down Buzzkill, but it was only a matter of time. She was a Mandalorian, born and raised to hunt. Wherever her mark was, she’d find it.

Ahead was a small flea market, shaped around and inside a wrecked warehouse. A hefty number of people wandered about it, and though Song doubted she would find Buzzkill among them, it was a good place to start asking questions.

Come on,” she said, and moved for the market. “This way.

"The horror," Vee-Threepio complained upon eyeing the flee market. Everything about this planet was sending thrills down his circuits—and not the good kind, either. "Why, I've never seen a better incubation nest for all the vilest viruses in the galaxy than that flea market."

Next to Threepio, his counterpart, R2-J5, spat out a line of Binary that sounded like a neebray's flatulence.

"I have to agree with my counterpart," the black protocol droid told the Mandalorian. "Heat kills viruses quickly, and there is no better heat than the jet from a flamethrower. Why, the both of us have two and you have one as well." He eyed Song's Mandalorian bracers. "Granted, a whole market of burning meatbags is probably less discreet than you were hoping for, but it would certainly help me work out a kink in my circuitry that's been knotting up ever since we got to this cursed planet."

The reached the outskirts of the market swiftly and it was everything Vee-Threepio dreaded it would be: stalls were close together, shit lined the streets, flies buzzed from one head to another, and the stench rising from the whole of it was so offensive that Threepio actually muted his olfactory sensors. He was betting the Mandalorian wished she had such a function just about now.

"What is your purpose here, anyways?" The droid wasn't looking at her. Instead, he was peering through the mass of assembled organics with a knifelike gaze. Since droids lacked facial expressions, it would be hard for the Mandalorian to tell what exactly the droid was searching for, but he was indeed selecting potential targets for if things did go to Hell in a hand-basket.

"It's not like anyone here is going to cough up the location of an unknown hacker. These people don't even look like they could find an ingrown hair on their backsides, much less the girl we're looking for." @Feng Mian
