The Xi class shuttle shuttered as it shifted and broke the cloud cover over the surface of Ubrikka. In the tiny cargo hold of the ship, Covax was preparing. The human merc had had been offered the job that few others were willing to even attempt. Break into the corporate headquarters of Ubrinkka Industries, hack the servers and steal as much as possible.
The human was "lucky" enough to get the job because well, no one other than the syndicate pilot was crazy or stupid enough to take the job. The planet was one of the many rim worlds to be ravaged by the AMS virus. The infection rate was so high that he assumed one galactic power would soon enough just opt to glass it and start over. Apparently the Five Syndicates assumed the same and intended to cash out before it came to that.
So here he. Checking out his armor, loading up his pouches with spare charges for his weapons. Twice the normal amount. Also half a dozen grenades. He feared it wouldn't be enough, but he could hardly carry much more. Now he just hoped that this smuggler as good with a gun as she was with a flight stick.
