There comes a time in every man’s life when a decision has to be made. Do you keep on your current track, or divert? Coryn Tyre wasn’t sure which he was doing now. Maybe in a few years with 20/20 hindsight he would know. In the past two months he bought a crew, commandeered a vessel, lost his crew, sold said commandeered vessel, bought a slave, sold his ship to pay for said slave, and now he was sneaking aboard the Captain’s Revenge. Bad luck? He still wasn’t sure himself, but he was optimistic.
He’d been raised by his parents on their small freighter, smuggling and spying. Maybe that’s why he felt he needed to be a part of a crew so bad that he’d sneak aboard a well-known pirating crew in the Cartel. If he got caught he might be killed, or worse turned back over to his Hutt master. It was a large vessel though and once he got out of the crate he was currently hiding in he should be able to blend in and gather information until their next stop. He felt the crate shift drastically and it knocked him off balance. He caught himself and sat back on his makeshift chair or protein paste. There was around two minutes of movement before he came to a halt once more. And once more, fell off his chair.
Coryn was, for all intents and purposes, a spy. His mother had been an intelligence gatherer her whole life before she passed away. She’d not only been a great mother, but a great teacher as well. Coryn’s contacts within and, more so, without the Cartel were vast. Hell, just a couple months ago he met a Jedi and a Cartel member. They were now scouring Zonju V for the Waste Rangers. Complete devotion was secured over afternoon drinks. Coryn was a hell of a spy.
Captain Goodrich had assembled a mighty fine crew. A crew that wasn’t known to be friendly to the Cartel, even if they were technically working together. They were the type of people that could help him escape from the over bearing Hutt that was his master. Sure, his debt had been paid. But his leash was no longer. Coryn knew that a few steps out of line and he’d be back under the Hutt’s tail.
After several hours Coryn popped the side panel of the crate off and slipped out. The cargo bay was empty, he’d gotten lucky so far. He replaced the side panel and walked casually towards the main access from the cargo bay to the rest of the vessel. First, he needed to secure a uniform and direct comm link. Then he’d start observing crew movements and attitudes. He’d try to slip into a minor role on the vessel, maintenance or electrical work suited him. He could gauge crew’s morality, political leanings, faction loyalties, ect. until they got to their next stop. Then he’d jump ship and, if things were to his liking, sign-up first chance he got.
Coryn reached the door and pulled the handle. Before he could open it, the door swung open and two guards came rushing in. One tackled Coryn to the ground while the other held a blaster rifle trained on Coryn. In the door way another guard smirked and reported into a mic, “We got the rat. What are your orders?”
Sometimes, life just didn’t go your way.
