Episode 1d - Setting Up Shop

Searching for a nice hovel to squat in...

Tionne searches the streets for one of the many forgotten and disused buildings that a city as old as Coronet can hold. She knows it must be somewhere in town so she can access it easily, but also out of the way so nobody notices her comings and goings. After scouring the streets she eventually settles on an abandoned speeder repair shop on the bottom level of a Blue Sector tower. It's dry, but she will need to put some work in to make it functional.

Tionne watches the entrance for a while before committing to going in. All seems quiet.

The building has two entrances, one for speeders and another for pedestrians. Other than that all Tionne can see is a window round the side.

The pedestrian door is still locked. On the bright side, it still has a working electronic lock.

As Tionne scans the lock to break its encryption she can see that the power source seems to drop-out every now and then. The source can't be local, so it must be either a generator or grid power, with a loose connection somewhere.

Her speculation is cut short as he lock clicks and the door opens revealing a dark and dusty reception area.

Gonna have to fix that.

Tionne searches the room and finds an old style terminal behind the desk which needs serviced. It is connected into the datanet on an unencrypted line, so it could be risky to start up without preparation. She also finds an unopened box of droid parts, old but serviceable.

As she searches, however, she hears a noise in another room.

Tionne slipped her scanner goggles on before entering the dark building. When she hears the noise in the next room, she draws her blaster and begins to sneak across the room to peek through the door...

As Tionne peers into the repair bay she sees... an old speeder ramp, a random assortment of garbage and a cupboard which had long ago fallen onto the floor.
