The contact left Sebastian no details. From his seat in the ship of a brave smuggler, he scrolled through a datapad and surveyed the task at hand. A set of coordinates lead them to a station on the edge of the galaxy, accompanied by the formula behind the mechanics of a rift called the Seed Gate. The captain, a Twi'lek with lavender skin, clicked her tongue and alerted Sebastian to attention."Hey brainiac, first stop." Lola said from the pilot's seat. She adjusted her blaster as Sebastian looked up from his datapad, preparing for any malicious presences they might meet in deep space.
Nodding in acknowledgement, Sebastian slid the datapad into his satchel and stood. Outside of the thick pane, a colossal space station surged into view. Shaped like a pyramid, the station conducted research on the seed gate and prevented any Force users from conducting astral rituals. As Lola opened the holding doors, Sebastian walked down the ramp and onto the landing bay.
A few droids and scientists chattered about, some wearing lab coats and examining samples. With his briefcase in hand, Sebastian offered them a slight smile. He wore a beige coat which was too long for him, over a white shirt shirt, puffy trousers which were tucked into socks and lace-up shoes. From the corridors within, footsteps raced back and forth, suggesting that a situation of some urgency was grappling the station.
"Are you Sebastian?" A scientist approached him. Nodding in confirmation, Sebastian tried to open his mouth to speak, when no words came out. "Quickly, she is waiting." The bespectacled man said as he lead Sebastian through the corridor, giving him some clue as to whom his contact might be. "... but her presence has lead Vereshin here." The scientist explained the situation.
The name of the notorious sorcerer caused Sebastian to swallow a gulp. Dealing with Vereshin was the last thing he needed and he wondered how he Sith Lord the must have been involved with his contact. They walked through a series of corridors and used an elevator to travel into the height of the station. White walls passed Sebastian gaze as he duly followed, accompanied by the smell of metal and fuel which he enjoyed.
"You'll be working in here." After being lead across a ramp, Sebastian followed the scientist around a corner and into a small examination room. "Sebastian, this is Leira." Sitting inside was his contact, a young girl in dark attire. The room was spherical and spacious, containing a desk and ladders leading to view ports.
"Hello." With a small wave, Sebastian greeted Leira. The scientist left them alone and closed the door. "As far as I know, you need my help." Sebastian said, unaware of how a Force user could possibly rely on him. Leira appeared to be practicing her abilities, a realm of the unknown which still unsettled him.
Sebastian did not know how long Leira had been on the station. He only guessed that she was being kept hidden from the Sith, by her own will or not, he could not tell. Setting his briefcase on the desk, he placed his notes and graph paper down, then switched on the computer terminal which analyzed the activity of the Seed Gate. Sitting down, he noted the doors on each side of the room leading to bedrooms for Leira and himself.
