Chapter 2: The Informant
The Countess de Beaufort’s job offer was simple: Land on Mechis II and speak to a Zallara Terrek in the Midland district about Silar Mins. But some philosophies in the galaxy would say that is perhaps why it was not going according to plan.
A blue and gold 3PO droid scurry across the landing zone tarmac with two of Calais' Defense Force troopers as escort. They arrive at the refugee ship, the Damascus, while Port Authority medics look over the still recovering Lightning Guard and Carabiners. Lieutenant Grimes of the Port Authority meets the droid and escort at the foot of the Damascus' loading ramp to escort the droid aboard.
There have been no new attacks reported, from droids or otherwise. But at other landing zones along the Port, other loader droids that went rogue are being examined. Port Authority technicians and mechanics struggle to keep up with the massive workload. No landing zone seems to have been left unscathed. Columns of smoke draw gray smudges along a pastel city skyline.
At the Damascus, no tracks remains of the missing refugees, even though the hidden lower hatch seems to be the actual route of escape. Meanwhile, the small flimsiplast sheets slipped into the hero’s belongings emit a soft chime. From Rushlight to Greelo, datapads echo the sound - the data transfer was accepted. After that the flimsiplasts dissolve into powder and vanish into the mid-morning air.
