Into the Wastes

Timik's speeder bike actually runs well, for the most part. The engine occassionally makes an awful sputtering sound, but it doesn't lose velocity or lift so it's probably fine. It also moves at a pretty good clip, which is good because the dunes apparently go on forever.

All around you is leagues upon leagues of sand. Sometimes there's some rocks, and you're greatful for them. That means you aren't frozen in time, or in some form of purgatory.

Reports had been that raid ways came from the north, but life scans never found anything. It spooked people. You just assumed if they could TELL it was coming from the north, it was an obvious misdirection. You went due south instead. Unfortunately, it's looking like that may have been a mistake.

You come upon the bones of some giant creature, and decide to rest in the minimal shade they throw off. You toss your scanner probes, grab your canteen, and wait. And wait. And wait.

Your datapad starts beeping. The scanners actually found something. Two somethings even! A scan to the east shows a handful of lifeforms. Not likely a full on camp, but it is hard to say.

To the west, there are dozens of lifesigns. That matches up with some of the reports of a growing uprising. It might be a better bet.

As you are deciding, a call comes in from Tekka. Hopefully some information.

"What do you have for me, beautiful?"
