Steam Vents of the Undercity

Cap'in lay in her bunk, the low hum of the ship's systems a constant companion. Though it had been a couple of weeks since their last encounter, the aches lingered - phantom reminders of blaster burns and hard landings. Her body was mending, but the soreness hadn’t quite faded… and neither had the memories. The intercom chimed, its sharp tone pulling Cap’in from her thoughts. With a groan, she swung her legs off the bunk and tapped the receiver. “Cap’in here. Go ahead.” 5E’s voice crackled through. “Apologies for the interruption, Cap’in. I’ve just finished running a full inventory on the weapons we recently acquired.” She already didn’t like where this was going. “They’re junk,” 5E continued. “Blasters built from scrap - faulty power cells, mismatched parts.

Plotting for the settlement now.” Cap’in leaned over his shoulder, eyes scanning the glowing readouts. She pointed toward a cluster of rugged hills at the edge of the valley. “Set her down in the shadow of those cliffs on the outskirts. I don’t want anyone making off with the Wayfinder while we’re in town.” Brains nodded and adjusted course without a word. The ship landed with a gentle thud, its engines cycling down in a dusty haze. The ramp lowered, and the crew stepped into the arid wind. “We’re making our way to the town on foot,” Cap’in said, tightening her cloak against the gusts. She swept her gaze across the distant jumble of buildings. “It might look like a ramshackle, dust-choked outpost, but it’s crawling with bounty hunters, slicers, and desperate types...
