It was very crowded on the transport, especially in the canteen. Mathius found it easy to assimilate to the non-Alsakans considering his background; the hardest part of the trip would be concealing his sniper rifle. Actually it would have been harder if he had to pack extra blaster rounds, but this mission called for discretion so Mathius had commandeered some dissolvable poison rounds. Mathius was dressed in peasant robes and was trying to act normal, though in his head he knew the first kill was coming. He was sitting at a table with the rest of his squad; he did not know them but had seen them around the blaster range and the bars. Mathius continued to enjoy his Blumfruit and wondered if these guys knew that this mission was not standard procedure and had come from the civilian higher ups.
Mathius was surprised to learn a couple of hours ago, that he would not learn the name of his target until the squad reached Coruscant. The method of how this information would be given to him was also not disclosed. Mathius had been going crazy on Alsakan, ever since his training was finished, and now in this tin can of a ship, he was getting a little antsy, almost trigger happy.
“Ok, fellas, this mission has to be discrete. Do not mention who we are, or where we come from. I am the leader of this squad; rank has nothing to do with this mission. You will listen to me and if this is not done right it will end the cease fire. We will all be blamed and could be banished or executed as renegades.”
Whether or not eliminating this senator was right was not Mathius’ concern, all he cared about was that first notch on his blaster from a kill in an armed conflict, not some mercenary mission.
