--Building a New life --Tech x Reader Bad Batch

Chapter 91 -- Suspicious Intel--

The flight to Takodana was a relatively short one, since the planet was along a common trade route known as the Great Gran Run. Evidently this planet was actually a popular stop for tourists both from the inner and outer rims. It was a trading post and stop for smugglers, but there were also some more civilized-tourist type buildings to stay in. The planet itself was covered in a lush rain forest with large lakes and oceans across its surface. You were going to be heading to a smugglers outpost turned resort and meeting with a third party arranged through Veraxsis. This part of the galaxy was just outside of Veraxsis's jurisdiction but an influential man is likely to have influential friends and therefore he had pulled some strings to make this meeting and weapons transfer possible. As Tech put it, "Veraxsis is not in a position to openly support any political movement. However, he may be indirectly involved and thus considered a bystander".

--No doubt a regular occurrence in the underworld-- you thought to yourself.

The weapons in question where a variety of guns but mostly general blasters, and a few special models with larger range or power. Wrecker was particularly excited about a shoulder mounted laser cannon that would be in this grouping of supplies. Hunter on the other hand was more concerned about safely acquiring and transporting the weapons since the last time this had happened Omega had been kidnapped.

Everyone was reviewing the information while Tech landed the Havoc Marauder in the forest a short walk 20 minutes away from the rondevu outpost. Omega helped co-pilot the landing, and thankfully only hit one or two tree's before successfully touching down.

Immediately after landing Hunter had Omega assist him and Tech in rearranging the storage containers so that the weapons could be easily boarded. Meanwhile, You and Wrecker established a perimeter and Crosshair took a grouchy nap. It was refreshing for you to be out in the forest and you even joked around a bit with Wrecker by climbing a few tree's and flipping between them across the small clearing.

With the reorganization complete, lunch eaten (mostly by Wrecker) and everyone gathered in the middle of the ship, decisions where made on the mission at hand. Veraxsis had provided the name 'Klessiler' with a description of his appearance and that they would by marked by the Onyx Monoliths crest. Tech volunteered to go, since he had researched and used smugglers code-language previously on Cantonica. It was also decided that Crosshair and Omega would stay with the ship and keep an eye on the perimeter.

Tech would be the main negotiator. You would join him as security escort while Hunter and Wrecker would flank the other sides of the outpost and provide additional support if needed. When you had flown over there were plenty of ships throughout the tree's hidden just under the branches, and the outpost itself had many terraces and roof tops indicating separate buildings within its close vicinity. The rondevu was going to be in a side area just outside the main building and near the east side. There are other buildings in that area separating you from the forest, but should the situation become dangerous you believed you could force jump or run with Tech back to the trees. Granted you were sure Tech wanted you close at hand to protect you rather then vise-versa.

There was still an hour or more before the group you were meeting would arrive and everyone made themselves busy to help pass the time. Initially you thought to go out and meditate, since you still felt stirred up after what had happened on Utapau. But as you breathed and brought the force through you, you felt a pull to the back of the ship. You sigh in reluctance but decide to follow its guidance and check on Crosshair. Clearly he had heard you coming because he stared you down as soon as you came through the blankets and it made you smile as he rolled his eyes.

"You've all got your positions figured out?" Crosshair asked, keeping his brown eyes fixed intensely on yours as you approached and knelt next to the bunk.
