In A Maze of Containers
Casany Praxor
Zad Ruzed

“Zaia! Draugr reading you. We were sitting ducks outside your container so shifted position and got split up.”

Where are you?

Hunkered down, the warrior inside her asked with one knee on the ground, blaster raised, taking aim.

“I’m in cover. Shooter has me pinned in a corner of containers to your container’s west. Zad went to flank shooter’s position wherever it is. Gone quiet. Shots were coming high from towers six o’clock, nine o’clock. They shift positions quickly.”

Which means running, tiring, dying tired, on your knees, ram'ser.

“What’s your status? Is that guy the pirate?”

[Zaia Krodas]

As sparks flew from the panel and the door shuddered, Zaia shifted herself closer, trying to get the wires to connect again. So the thing wasn’t really dead! Meanwhile, she listened to this part of Sage’s story with much more interest. Scuttlebutt, scuttlefish, scallion, scullery and cutlery, the Mandalorian didn’t really know what all that meant, but she wanted to see what he had to do with Endyr.

Unfortunately, it didn’t seem like much. Just like that panel, it had been about to work but it turned out to be nothing instead. It wasn’t his fault, she supposed, and part of her was relieved that Sage hadn’t been in cahoots with Endyr and the other captain. She didn’t really want to shoot him, and the less he knew the better.

“Oh, I’m glad.” Zaia tried the wires one more time, and in a pleasant surprise, the door popped open. She wouldn’t head out right away, though. Cas’s voice sounded in her helmet ust then, briefing her on her position. At the mention of Zad, Zaia tensed up.

“I just got the door open,” she answered, then briefly glanced at Sage. She had no idea if he would follow her out, but it didn’t really matter. “He’s not the pirate. But he did mention Endyr working with a Captain Val’kaanen.” Hearing no blaster fire, Zaia daringly stuck her head out to look around for a moment before she went back into the container to speak to Casany again.

“I’m going after Zad.” She spoke into her comms, looking at Sage, before heading out with both of her blasters at her side. If uninterrupted, she would make her way east of the container— hopefully he would be somewhere around there.

[Crux]

Crux growled in his throat. Today was roadblock after roadblock, and yet again he was stuck— she was right about it being a stalemate. What was different about this time compared to when he was with Amer, however, was where she was aiming. This was somehow worse.

However, given that the Badger apparently had stopped contacting him for some reason, Crux did in fact have all day.

“Yup.” That didn’t mean that he wanted to be here all day, though. “Well, if you tell me what you know ‘bout the Badger, I’ll consider givin’ you the case.” Maybe it wasn’t the best deal that he could make and she likely wouldn’t agree, but Crux wasn’t about to lose his only physical asset on this job just yet. Words were wind, but a metal case he could trade in or sell at worst. He tried adding a little more.

“He won’t know it came from you.” She meant nothing to him, but if anything Crux never went back on a deal.
