The small ship flitted through the blackness of space. Ahead, a solitary observation post waited. Huang guided the ship in, dodging the asteroids drifting about the observatory, built to spy on illegal shipping and secretly report back to specialised task forces.
Huang could tell something was wrong as he guided the ship in. The station seemed to be active, but was not transmitting. He noted that the small hanger was occupied with a pair of ships, the ships used by the crew of the station. More and more suspicion. If the ships were here, where were the crew?
These stations often had special docking airlocks for clandestine movement, which Huang took full advantage of. Manually, he clamped the ship to the observatory. He paused before opening the hatch.
''Padawan Pequentis, you have been briefed. Are you ready? We may need to kill on this mission.''
