Contract complete. Payment received. Target transferred.

<p>Job's done.</p> <p>Met the New Republic contact at the rendezvous. Smooth handoff. Sorr's their problem now. They'll transport him to Coruscant for trial.</p> <p>Fifty thousand credits transferred to my account. Verified. Clean.</p> <p>The Republic officer tried to recruit me. &quot;The galaxy needs hunters with your skills.&quot; I declined. I work for the Guild. I work for myself. I don't work for governments.</p> <p><a href="/en-route/" class="wikilink" data-title="En Route" data-description="En route to the drop point" data-date="2026-01-16" data-preview="En route to the drop point">Engine repairs</a> are already scheduled. The Crest will run better than she has in months.</p> <p>This was a good hunt. Clean. Professional. No casualties. Target delivered alive, as contracted.</p> <p>Some jobs remind you why you do this. Not for the credits. Not for the reputation.</p> <p>For the code.</p> <p>Related: <a href="/the-contract-verdan-sorr/" class="wikilink" data-title="The Contract: Verdan Sorr" data-description="The Guild has a high-value target.

Former Imperial Intelligence. War criminal. Now: Guild property. Fifty thousand credits, alive and intact.</p> </blockquote> <p>Sorr stopped talking after the <a href="/confrontation/" class="wikilink" data-title="Confrontation" data-description="The confrontation with the target" data-date="2026-01-14" data-preview="The confrontation with the target">cuffs went on</a>. Wise choice. His threats turned to silence. His bribes turned to ash.</p> <p>The Hutts' crew arrived too late. Found their guards unconscious, their prize gone. They'll be angry, but they know better than to cross the Guild.</p> <p>Transported him to the <a href="/about/" class="wikilink" data-title="About the Hunter" data-description="Who I am, what I do, and why I keep these logs" data-date="2026-02-05" data-preview="Who I am, what I do, and why I keep these logs">Razor Crest</a>. Holding cell is secure. Carbonite would be easier, but the contract specified alive and conscious. He gets a cot, rations, and a refresher. More than he deserves.</p> <p>Tomorrow, we head to the rendezvous point. New Republic custody transfer. Then: payment.</p> <p>This is the way.</p>
