Chapter One: The Package

Hi all! Welcome to the first chapter of a sci-fi story I’m working on. Had this one in my head for a while so it’s nice to finally put the words down.

My plan is to post multiple chapters per month until I get to the end of the story. Unsure where it will take us ultimately, but glad to have you around to give it a read. Keep in mind, this is raw text, no edits yet, and likely some typos here and there.

Without future setup, here’s chapter one:

Norn Bendo sat quietly at his table, peering over his cracked and worn data pad at the rest of the hazy bar. He’d been here for 2 hours and still no sign of the Tandorian. If the drop was going to happen, it would be any time now. 

He was dressed in his usual piloting gear, with a Hovian dagger tucked to its hilt in his left boot. Concealed in his right inside forearm was a small EP-04 matter destabilizer. He’d never used it before, but dark work on the lower decks of Zeti required a little insurance.
