Marisa could hear whirrs and thunks of cargo boxes being loaded and unloaded by droids. The sounds were welcoming, though also signaled the next challenge: getting out of the loading dock without drawing attention to herself. Her seat, barely large enough for the petite human female in a fetal position, inside a box full of spices, was a last minute decision. Uncomfortable, to say the least.
Her stomach churned for a moment as her box was lifted by a droid. The droid must have been in need of maintenance, since it didn't hold its cargo steady. Marisa could feel every bump in her unceremonious trip to a storage bay. Spices pelted her face, forcing Marisa to suppress a sneeze. Once her box was set down, Marisa gave a quiet sigh of relief. She popped open the lid, briefly scanned the area, and jumped out. As she expected, the droid dropped her off at a storage facility: likely to be mostly droid activity, with the occasional organic worker and a number of security cameras strategically placed. No problem.
After a quick pat down of herself to make sure she didn't drop anything in the box of spices, Marisa lifted the weathered hood on her dark leather attire and went on her way. Slipping past workers and droids were no problem. The security cameras, although a nuisance, only cost extra time for the woman to maneuver around.
Once Marisa snuck out of the loading dock, she took a moment at a window to take in the view of Cloud City. The sun was beginning to set, coloring the distant clouds red. Marisa tore her eyes away from the beautiful scene, aiming to blend into the nearest crowd. There's no telling how long until her pursuers locate her on Bespin.
