Warning! Heated romance scenes towards the end of the chapter!
In hindsight, (Y/N) Should've expected this. Once she had Force-healed Tech's leg, she was out to rest for the next couple missions with Tech. While she recovered, Hunter and Echo went out and did smaller jobs for Cid. (Y/N) and Tech were currently sitting at the bar while Wrecker and Omega played round 3 of Dejarik. But before the pair could continue, Cid came over, stopping them.
"Hey! Quit running up the power bill. It's time to get to work. I got another job for you." Cid told them, agitated.
"Hunter and Echo aren't back from the other mission yet." Omega argued.
"I would not call transporting 50 cases of nerf nuggets a 'mission'. Nor is it a proper use of our skill set." Tech cut in from where he and (Y/N) were sitting at the bar.
"Yeah, well, your skill set will come in real useful on this one." Cid turned to Wrecker, "Especially you, Muscles. You're gonna be my security crew."
Cid motioned for the group to follow her out the parlor.
"We require a few more details than that, Cid."
(Y/N) raised an eyebrow.
"No time. The shuttle's waiting."
Omega and Wrecker grabbed their helmets from the table next to them.
"Maybe it'll be fun." Omega suggested.
"Works for me." Wrecker shrugged as he and Omega followed Cid out of the parlor.
(Y/N) turned to Tech, who looked skeptical and reluctant. (Y/N) shrugged at Tech.
"It can't be too bad if Cid is having us do this without Hunter and Echo." (Y/N) placed a hand on Tech's.
"That is what I am afraid of. If it is not a dangerous mission, it could be quite...nonsensical." Tech sighed.

Serolonis was the planet their shuttle had taken them to. More specifically, to the town of Safa Toma. Unfortunately, Cid had only provided the detail of the group being there for security reasons. The planet was dry and honestly reminded (Y/N) of Tatooine with the dryness and huge amount of gamblers in a small area.
"I am beginning to understand the need for added security in a place like this." Tech said as the group walked through the market.
(Y/N) pulled her hood down a bit further.
"Safa Toma can be a little rough around the edges if you don't know what you're doing. But lucky for us, I know my way around. And if things get dicey, that's where you come in." Cid explained.
She led them to an arena where thousands of people overlooked a racing track. The group pushed their way through the crowd to watch. A couple of vehicles sped through the area as quick as a flash.
"Whoa!" Omega exclaimed excitedly.
"It's called Riot Racing." Cid explained.
"It's also very illegal." (Y/N) muttered.
"Lighten up, Pretty Face. You ain't seen nothin' like this before." Cid elbowed the elf.
"Seems pretty close to podracing back on Tatooine." (Y/N) frowned.
"You have been to Tatooine? When?" Tech turned to (Y/N), a confused look on his face.
Suddenly, one of the vehicles ahead was blasted by another, swerving out of control and hitting a wall. Luckily, the contestant climbed out of their vehicle mostly unharmed.
