Public Engineer for Hire: Have ship, Will travel

[Ezekiel Graenge]

"Certified Ghoul Wrangler"

​

The ion engines of the XS Light Freighter went screaming through the atmosphere of Jakku. As a recent acquisition of the Galactic Alliance, the planet was sure to get more traffic from all sorts. At least, that's what one enterprising contractor was hoping. Kicking up a boot and a prosthetic leg up on the console next to his chair, Ezekiel rest a lazy hand on one of the flight sticks. He reached a hand under one of the consoles, fishing out a six pack of Bad Motivator IPA's. He grabbed one of the cans as he lay it on his lap, pinching another with his thighs as he twisted and struggled to pull one from the plastic collars necked around the cans.

Drinking and flying? Well, why not. Not like his gramps was here to stop him, god rest his soul.

As he entered into Comm range with the Jakku capital hologrid, he traced a hand to the terminal, pressing a key. An automated script immediately punched in an entry into the Jakku classifieds:

"What do you think Cutie? Waste of time?" Zeke grunted, cracking open the IPA and bringing it to his lips, sipping loudly. He glanced at the altimeter, making sure they were levelled out.

Bwee-pop-pop! Zeke's eyes strayed to the spherical astromech that currently was nestled into an astrocomp socket just to his left, the ocular array fixing on him in return.

"Hah! I dunno about that... Women on Jakku probably aren't exactly... Well fed. You never know though."

"Still... Hopefully there's something." He murmured, mostly to himself as he stared at his holoconsole waiting for a call.
