In This Business, Compassion Will Kill You

Well we made it out of the Imperial mining compound. No one seems to have gotten hurt, but we're not exactly flying away from this dirtball in the Sunset yet. They've surely called the attack in to the capital ships in orbit by now. That means Ties and probably a fast response force are on their way to the surface. That means our time on this planet is likely about to get a lot less fun unless we wrap up our business and hightail it. Hopefully they don't connect us with the attack, but I wouldn't bet much on that.
 
Reminds me of the time that riot spilled into that Imperial controlled starport on Brentaal IV. It was raining Ties and assault shuttles in minutes. The Imps broke up the riot, secured the gates, and restored peace faster than you could say smash and grab. The casualties were pretty high, and those were civilians throwing bricks. We on the other hand just blew up a pump station and killed a squad of Stormtroopers. Don't get me wrong, I like watching the light fade out of an Imp's eyes just as much as the next girl, but I'm afraid this was a mistake. We should have just taken what we needed and gotten out of here.
 
It would have been beautiful. One team secures the lift on the cliffs and calls in the Sunset. Mevlo makes a few strafing runs and scares the crap out of everyone. The Kon'me either surrender and give us everything we want, or their city starts getting shot at for real. Worst case we wreck some houses, kill some locals. Zero danger, zero exposure. Hell we probably could have called it in to the Imps along with the info it was them that had been attacking the mining camp, might have gotten a reward. Unfortunately I'm on a team full of bleeding hearts. I've seen too many "good" people get gunned down, shot in the back by friends or allies or partners. Trusting the Kon'me to do the right thing is not something that comes very easy for me.
 
Oh well, there's probably still hope of getting something besides the navcomputer. Maybe I can swipe something off that wall, just got to be fast, make a distraction of some sort. That droid head hanging around the mayor's neck might be a little harder. Need to think of something, we might need it to find the lab. It's the whole reason we're here, it's got to happen.
