The sun was setting in its crimson radiance. Below was the former industrial center of Coruscant known simply as the Works. For generations it lingers as a ruined husk, large sections claimed by toxic waste and the rest mostly abandoned. Despite that fact a sizable crowd gathered in front of a former droid plant in addition to the group of landspeeders lined up together.
A few were leaning or sitting on a few scattered crates while some stood around, talking with one another and searching through the Holonet on their handheld devices. Others were with their vehicles, among them a blue skinned Mon Calamari who was sweating from heat made some final adjustments to her white speeder’s controls. Compared to many of the crowd and racers who wore flashy outfits, Chant Sindhu’s attire was a brown sweater and dark pants. The speeder’s charts displayed the results of her work, causing the aquatic alien to nod her head.
Just got this old Corellian model, despite its age it runs good. Glad I wasn’t ripped off.
Her sastificition was interrupted when a green Twi’lek male in with two human women in each arm walked by. She noted his eyes examining her vehicle before chuckling out loud along with his two companions. Irritated Chant looked away from the group who headed to a more stylish speeder of orange color surrounded by several other Twi’leks.
Briefly, the Mon Calamari squeezed the wheel with both hands in silent anger. Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath she released it. Quietly she whispered. “Okay calm down me. Forget about that pretty boy bastard and focus on the race coming up.”
Chant had only just arrived on Coruscant a night ago before learning of an illegal race being hosted in the Works. She had heard there credits to be earned in this ’unofficial event’ and so got herself involved. The local racers will have an advantage in knowing the layout of the course. She wasn’t one to back down from a challenge though and the pay was good. A grin filled with determination surfaced on her face.
Let’s see if these locals got what’s takes.
