Edin had never been on any Mando planet before, and he knew he was doing something exceptionally foolish. However, the promise of selling precious beskar on the black market was entirely too tempting. He blended in easily enough in mercenary armor like some of the workers at the plants that were being opened up again. Mandos were still low in numbers and sometimes depended on outside help.
The Firrerreo had been here for a few days, posing as another worker that helped with building factories or mining. Day by day he had been collecting whatever little bits he could find, carrying them back to a stash in his tent instead of depositing in the reserve like the others were.
Today was the day he would make off with his haul. The goal was to sell it in Syndicate space for ludicrous amounts of credits. The Firrerreo wiped sweat off his brow as he kept digging, poking at what felt like a vein. He extracted what he could, breaking for ‘lunch’ and making his way back to his tent.
Edin knew he had to create a diversion of some sort to allow his getaway. While everything was lax, he knew him casually leaving the site would raise some brows. The Firrerreo suddenly had an idea and he would use the desert and wasteland terrain of the planet to his advantage. While others were busy, he slowly but surely made his way towards a control tower while the people manning it went on break. Within moments, he rigged the alarm that began to blare. His eyes almost watered from the noise due to his sensitive hearing, but it would serve him well.
The alarms heralded the arrival of a sandstorm and everyone would rapidly find shelter. Edin scrambled down and towards his tent, quickly grabbing everything and checking to see that everyone was tucked away. Only then did he quickly run out with his loot, swinging his leg over a speederbike to haul ass away from the mining camp. The alarms continued to muffle the sounds of his escape as he disappeared towards the dunes, purposely dipping down an incline to be out of sight as soon as possible.
