Synopsis:
A black vessel descends through the polluted atmosphere of Ord
Mantell; a lone figure disembarks after the Corellian transport
lands. Many locals flee when the catch a glimpse of the solitary
person, a Nalrithian bounty hunter named Cypher Bos. Cypher has come
to speak to a Chadra-Fan named Baajik, a secret double agent for
either the Rebels or the Hutts, whichever side serves his immediate
needs.
A robed figure watches Cypher Bos walk down the street to the
'Drunken Bantha', the only place worth travelling this far for. The
robed figure, a Rebel, is shocked to see his own agent sell him out
to Cypher Bos. The Rebels hood falls away to reveal that he too, is
a Nalrithian, the same insectoid species as Cypher Bos. Nalrithians,
who share a mental link between eggmates, allows them to think and
act at a limited range no more than a dozen meters. Phoedris Bos,
the Rebel, has managed to suppress his thought link until
realisation strikes to the fact that he is being sold out, and one
powerful thought of "No1" reverberates across the Drunken
Bantha.
