Sikris Tettra looked around uncomfortably as he climbed the steps of the imposing-looking office building, reaching up to adjust the collar of the suit he wore with a barely suppressed scowl. His new boss had managed to impress upon the young Ranat the importance of a professional appearance in the situation he was headed into, but that didn't mean he had to like it.
Sikris turned to the being his employer had sent with him, giving a sigh.
"I just feel like I'm not cut out for this sort of thing, y'know? Bad enough that you can't cut loose on the roads around here..."
The world of corporate respectability was decidedly new to Sikris' experience, as were a great many other things he had encountered since leaving Hemelder Aurek. Having grown up in the underbelly of the starport world, he had been rescued from a bad situation by Tasha Blackwell, who had encountered him at perhaps his most pathetic moment and nevertheless hired him as muscle for her fledgling corporation. Apparently, the young Ranat had impressed her somehow, as she had given him what seemed a very important mission.
Sikris and the other Blackwell employee walked through an automatic door into a richly appointed reception area. Steeling himself, the Ranat walked toward a reception desk in the center of the room, behind which sat a pretty Twi'lek female who looked up at him as he approached.
"May I help you, sirs?"
Sikris was somewhat impressed. Normally, members of other species turned up their noses at Ranats, but the receptionist was either species-blind or exceptionally professional. The young swoop rider smiled and nodded the way he had practiced.
"We have an appointment with the CEO of Starburn Combat Systems."
The Twi'lek turned to a terminal on her desk, tapping a few buttons before nodding. She beamed at Sikris, nodding toward a bank of turbolifts, one of which opened.
"I shall let them know you've arrived, sir. The Starburn offices are located on the top 3 levels. The turbolift will take you to their reception area."
Sikris gave a polite nod and a "thank you" before moving toward the open turbolift. Getting inside, he waited for the other being who had come with him.
"Well, here we go..."
