The courier dropped out of lightspeed, uncontrolled just inside the Corellian system near Selonia. Cuir was at the helm struggling to keep the ship under control. It was no surprise that this had happened. The previous owners of this vessel were pirates who obviously hadn't bothered to maintain their equipment.
Cuir, not so much heard as felt the main reactor stutter several times before shutting down completely.
He cursed under his breath, as he switched over to the auxilary. It meant he no longer had enough power to make another jump to lightspeed. It figured that he would get stuck here, with no replacements, no money, and nothing onboard was even worth trading.
The sensors beeped at him as another vessel approached.
"Unidentified vessel this is Corsec Patrol 1," came the voice over the comlink, "Please state your name and intentions."
Just great not only was the ship a piece of crap, now Corellian Security was involved. This day just kept getting better and better. Hopefully, the comlink still worked.
"This is Darkness Falls, my ship's main reactor just gave out and I doubt the backups are going to last much longer. I need to make some repairs and was hoping to land at Selonia."
There was a long pause, "Acknowledged, Darkness. Permission to land has been granted. Docking bay 94 has been cleared.
Much obliged, Patrol.
The trip to Selonia normally would have only taken 10 maybe 15 minutes top, but with his main engine out, Cuir was forced to take nearly an hour. But he managed to make the landing without any problems.
He had no choice now. He had hoped that he could have stayed inconspicous, but the only chance of him getting off this rock, was to pick up a bounty. He tapped into Selonia's police records and managed to slice in within minutes.
Let's see. Experiment 55-FI-NNE.....goes by handle....Axel Finne....wanted dead.....Worth 50,000.
He downloaded the information to a datapad and shut down the computer. Leaving the ship he slung Slayer over his shoulder and slipped the datapad into his pocket. Now it was time to find this Axel Finne and deal with him.
