[Episode V -IR][M10 - Sarapin - P] Shadows in the Dust

A small band of mysterious black clad soldiers emerged from the smoke and dusk around a small Rhydonium mining platform catching the platform workers by surprise. They had been waiting for the arrival of New Republic troops who had contacted them only a few hours before and told them to get what they had refined ready for shipment off world; something was mentioned about an Imperial plot and to be cautious, but not much else. Samual Brigs, the shift foreman knew no New Republic troops would be dressed like these strange troops, but he also knew he didn't want to lose his or his crews lives trying to find out.

Sam's voice called out cautiously just over the rumble of the lava pump in front of him, "who are you a-and what can I help you with?" 

A confident voice cut back through the noise in response, "I'm here with the Pentastar Alignment and you can hand over your Rhydonium without a quarrel."

"Alright sir, very well, you can have the it all; no need for a fight."

"Samy," Gent whispered from behind Samual, "What about the New Re..."

"Shhh, don't worry about it!" Samual snapped back under his breath, "I don't want to die today, do you?"

"Well, I appreciate the cooperation, and as I sing of the Alignments gratitude, I'll advise you to get off this planet as soon as possible, things I can't discuss are going down here soon that you don't want to be involved in," replied the Pentastar sergeant curtly.

Samual glanced back at Gent as he steadied himself on a barrel, anxiety racking his gut. Looking back at the lead soldier he managed to say, "Ok, well start getting everything ready for you, but where's your ship?"

"It will be here shortly, so get moving," the sergeant warned.
