Tomed yawned as he stretched after getting out of the
transport. He wasn't sure what made those commercial transports so
uncomfortable, but he was glad it was only a short hop to the capitol. After
selling the animal hides, bone and meat to the buyer he'd contracted for, he
headed out of the starport at a brisk walk. He wasn't in any hurry, but due to
the amount of traffic the Coronet starport saw, lots of shops had people out
clogging the lobby and entryway selling pretty much anything anyone could
possibly want, and then some. That was the thing Tomed hated most about coming
to Coronet, there were people everywhere and it was always noisy and crowded.
The din started to blur into the background as Tomed headed
to the cantina. He was supposed to meet with Vusin, who was in town delivering a
similar contract, after making his delivery. As he made his way into the cantina
he looked around for Vusin, but the zabrak was nowhere in sight. "Eh, I
guess he's running late" he mused, as he ordered lunch and settled into a
corner booth. Vusin always seemed to prefer the corner booths for some reason.
Tomed wasn't sure if it was because he liked his privacy, wanted to keep on eye
on the other patrons, or just liked his back to a wall. The later was quite
likely for a non-human with the way the empire was running things lately.
About halfway thru his meal, he saw Vusin enter the cantina,
look around quickly, then, spotting Tomed in the corner, rushed over with an
excited look on his face. "Hey! Guess what, CorSec is hiring pilots!"
he announced. "Really?" Tomed replied. I'd thought about joining them
for a while, but they weren't hiring. I think I even have a great uncle or two
who used to be in CorSec." "That's cool" Vusin said, "I got
done delivering my hide and stuff, and was poking thru holonet for news and
whatnot, and found an add." "And I think the CorSec office is right
around the corner..." Tomed interjected. "It is" Vusin said,
"I looked it up and was half-way there before I remembered I was supposed
to meet you for lunch, then thought you might be interested too." "I
am" "Cool! Man, this is gonna rock, we get paid to travel all over the
galaxy, and they even give you a ship too!" Vusin said.
