     The man walks through the streets of Nevarro feeling multiple sets of eyes on him. This isn't anything new for him. People seem to find him interesting wherever he goes, which could probably be blamed on his beskar armour. Or all the weapons he carries with him. It's probably both though.

He arrives in front of the cantina in which Greef Karga will be waiting for him like every time. Every of his hunts is the same. Get the assignment, travel to whatever planet his prey is on, find them and watch them for a bit until there's a good opportunity to take them in, come back to this cantina, get his reward and then everything repeats. Some kind of change would be nice for once.

"Mando! Nice to see ya, buddy!" Greef calls as the man enters the building. Immediately all eyes turn to him, wanting to see if the famous Mandalorian finished his hunt.

The man doesn't reply, instead he walks up to Greef's table and sits down across from him. Upon Greef's waiting look the Mandalorian puts a bag onto the table, sliding it over to his acquaintance. Greef opens the bag, nodding after seeing the proof of elimination. He didn't expect anything less from his best bounty hunter.

"The guy didn't have a chance against you", Greef chuckles, handing Mando his reward over.

"What assignment do you have for me?" The warrior asks him, eager to leave this place again. He just wants to go back to the Razor Crest and leave this planet.

"There are a few but they are too easy for ya", Greef starts. "But there is one with quite a high reward. Some Mon Calamari. They were on Canto, played some games and lost. They didn't want to pay so they decided to run away instead. You'll have three targets this time but the job will pay ya good."

"I'll take it", Mando replies, his modulated voice free from any emotions.

Greef only nods and hands Mando the bounty puck over. Without checking the puck the Mandalorian get's up. After a small nod goodbye directed at Greef he leaves the cantina and walks back to his ship, already planning how he'll get the Mon Calamari. The quantity of his targets will make it harder than only hunting one, but the warrior likes the challenge .

The Mandalorian stands in front of his weapons locker, strapping his blaster to his side. He nods in approval upon noticing that everything is where it's supposed to be, even though there is no one who'll notice his nod as he's alone. He is always alone.

Mando leaves the Razor Crest, but not without making sure that the security protocol is activated.

He starts his trek through the forest where he left the Razor Crest in order to not get any unwanted attention by the townspeople. Well, not more than a stranger wearing Mandalorian armour in a small town on Ossus will get.
