The Old Empire's navy had thrown him out and he knew he was was lucky to have only lost one eye in the process.The rumor was that this bucket of bolts he'd found in a backwater shipyard had once belonged to an imperial intelligence officer who had tricked it out in all sorts of ways. Maybe that was true. Albedo knew the ship flew better and was able to put up more of a fight than a surplus hauler normally would -- someone had upgraded the Sorcerer in a dozen ways that wouldn't be obvious through casual inspection. But if there were hidden secret weapons or spy gadgets aboard, he'd never found them.Down on the surface of Storix, one of the volcanos brightened with an enormous lava plume, illuminating the cabin of Albedo's ship."No time like the present," Albedo sighed.He thumbed his data pad, and the read-out lit up:<code class="bbCodeInline">CONTRACT</code><code class="bbCodeInline">Name: Itsuki Itch</code><code class="bbCodeInline">Species: Human</code><code class="bbCodeInline">Client: Mystic Order</code><code class="bbCodeInline">Last known location: Gur the Targ's Spice Mines, Storix</code>"Well, all right."The Sorcerer skimmed through dark clouds thick with a mix of volcanic and industrial ash. Storix was a good place to go to ground, home to two rival criminal gangs and the wizards of the Mystic Order. Neither the empire nor the uprising had any interest in imposing law and order here, so long as the factories and mines kept running. Both sides knew holding it could be a strategic military asset, but that taking it would mean pouring valuable resources into a situation that, for now, ran well enough on its own.The ship's sensors identified a dormant volcano crater near the mines and Albedo guided his ship in for a landing, away from prying eyes.</blockquote>
