Striking A Bountiful Deal With 'The Wizard'
[fancybox2]

Not long after the Rebel victory at Naboo...
PROLOGUE
The capital of Hutt Space, the Glorious Jewel, Hutta
The capital of Hutt Space, the Glorious Jewel, Hutta
From a distance, a stolen transport vessel was exiting the stratosphere. She was inbound for Bilbousa, according to the ship's navigation computer. However, the shuttle appeared to be sneaking around the capital city. It would appear the pilot was taking the transport...nowhere.
Inside the skin of the ship, three rebels were preparing themselves for the task at hand. They were looking to claim a bounty on a man, or perhaps a myth, known as 'The Wizard'. The man earned the sobriquet for his spellbinding mastery of all things technological. This was precisely why the Rebellion had deployed this trio to the polluted and barren wastelands of Nal Hutta. So, in actuality, this was a search and rescue operation. Meaning their orders were to save 'The Wizard' from the bounty, not claim it. With any luck, the Rebellion hoped he would be willing to join the cause.
There was only one problem with the mission. Nobody knows who 'The Wizard' is, or where he's located. Rumor has it, he is a mysterious mechanic that keeps a shop in the sewers of Hutta. Others tell tales of an old scientist that stays secreted in the jungle mountains, sending droids down from his perch to barter his wares. No credible source would be sited regarding the rumors. However, these parables have garnered interest from those who would seek to exploit 'The Wizard'. The Hutts...a Hutt...Jorr'gota the Hutt.
If a bounty hunter were to track 'The Wizard' down and turn him over to Jorr'gota, the legend would likely cease to marvel. Instead, the man would be enslaved to the Hutt enterprise. His ingenuity wasted on distasteful products desired by one of the galaxy's most loathsome species. The Rebellion couldn't allow this to happen. They needed deviants like 'The Wizard', and like the three who had been sent to save him, on their team...working to restore a Galactic Republic.
And so here they were. Three square pegs trying to fit into a round hole. Hoping this mission wouldn't be a hot mess...
