Excerpt
"Are you sure that's necessary?"

After reholstering her weapon, the Human had pulled another item from her belt: disguised as a standard comlink, it emitted a steady, somewhat throaty hum as she walked around the apartment, seemingly sampling the air for toxins or other hazards. "It only takes one to ruin an op," she retorted, then put the bug-sniffer away. "We're clear."

"Easiest way to defeat a Republic surveillance mission," the Wroonian smirked, "is to use their own technology against them."

"You would know, Palo," the woman bit out. "The only reason you're free to roam about is because of our patron's change of heart. That doesn't mean I have to trust you."

"Ah, but it does dear Kimba," Palo replied mockingly. "For all you know, I could have been planning an epic double-cross from the word go. I may even be a disarmored Mandalorian, or a disguised Jed&mdash;"

"Finish that sentence and die," Kimba shot back, looking daggers at the Wroonian as her blaster rematerialized seemingly instantaneously. "I don't care if Lord So-and-so flays my brain to bits for fun because killing you blows the op."

Palo stepped back, raising his hands. "Oh for the love of&mdash;put that thing away before somebody hears the shot you are so desperate to give."

"Then start taking this thing seriously!" Kimba demanded. "I'm sticking my neck out for you&mdash;under orders I might add&mdash;and frankly, I would like to know why and to what end."

"As much as I would love to help you..." Palo began.

"...I don't 'need to know.' Even rank amateurs can wrap their pea brains around that concept."
