No sense
announcing my arrival.</p>
<p>The industrial sector is worse than the intel suggested. Collapsed buildings,
toxic runoff, rusted droids prowling the alleys. Perfect place to hide.</p>
<p>Spent six hours in overwatch. Positioned on a collapsed repulsorlift tower with
a clear sightline to Sorr's hideout.</p>
<p>Three guards. Rotating shifts. Two at the front entrance, one patrolling the
perimeter. Amateur hour—predictable patterns, no overlapping fields of view.</p>
<p>Sorr showed himself once. Brief. Checking the perimeter personally. He's
cautious, but he's also curious. That's his weakness.</p>
<p>He'll leave for supplies tomorrow evening. That's my window.</p>
<p>This is the way.</p>

Ord Mantell. Sorr's careful. Smart. Changed his name three times since Jakku.</p>
<p>But he made mistakes.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>He's holed up in an abandoned industrial sector. Old Separatist factory,
heavily fortified. Motion sensors, armed guards, escape tunnels.</p>
<p>Not amateur work. He's paranoid. As he should be.</p>
<p>I've mapped his routine. He ventures out every four days for supplies. Next
window: tomorrow evening.</p>
<p>Time to prepare.</p>
<p>This is the way.</p>
