Spent three days in the <a href="/midnight-on-nevarro/" class="wikilink" data-title="Midnight on Nevarro" data-description="A quiet night in the cantina after the job" data-date="2026-01-25">cantinas</a> and shadowports of
Ord Mantell. Sorr's careful. Smart. Changed his name three times since Jakku.

But he made mistakes.

His accounts leave traces. A drink at the same bar every third day. A weakness
for Sabacc. A contact who supplies his medications—he's got a respiratory
condition from a chemical attack on Coruscant. Karma.

He's holed up in an abandoned industrial sector. Old Separatist factory,
heavily fortified. Motion sensors, armed guards, escape tunnels.

Not amateur work. He's paranoid. As he should be.

I've mapped his routine. He ventures out every four days for supplies. Next
window: tomorrow evening.

Time to prepare.

This is the way.
