"Hi'ija," Marick Arconae called out from down the long corridor. It wasn't a yell, but the Consul knew how to make his voice carry without needing to.

The hulking human stopped and turned, one eyebrow lifting quizzically. "Arconae," Mirus replied flatly, his gruff features remaining carefully neutral. "What can I do for you?"

"You've heard of the Antei Contract Bureau?" the Consul asked.

"Rumors and whispers, perhaps. I thought that was limited to Arcona, though."

Marick shook his head slightly, but gave nothing else of what he thought of the comment away. The mask of impassivity the Arconae wore seemed almost too natural. It was kind of unnerving and a bit frustrating.

Without another word, Marick handed Mirus a datapad, never breaking the pace of their continued walk.

"Telaris has authorized me to issue contracts across the Brotherhood. Lord Ashen requested this Contract be given to you specifically."

Mirus nodded, and took hold of the datapad, tapped a few buttons, and pressed his finger against the button on the bottom.

Missions Detail:
The Deputy Grand Master has a high-priority VIP-Prisoner being transferred from Nicht Ka back home to Antei. You are to ride escort on a prisoner transport disguised as a simple frigate. The VIP is one Na'vii Drex, a female Twi'lek who was caught trying to steal confidential files from one of the Iron Throne's base's that were established post-occupation of Nicht Ka. She no doubt has ties to the One Sith, and by now they should be aware that she has failed in her mission and has been taken into custody. She attempted a cyanide pill but was thwarted by one of our agents, and has been bound and kept isolated in a converted cargo-closet under guard by the Nephalim.
We anticipate an attempt to break her free, despite our precautions. As the transport is not a proper prison barge, it will be up to you to ensure the VIP-POW is kept in custody and delivered to Antei.

Parameters:
VIP-POW must be delivered to Antei alive. The Deputy Grand Master intends to interrogate this one personally, and the information she possess could help us pin down Darth Esoteric once and for all.
"Seems like the perfect mission for the Grand Master's new guard dog," the Hapan said calmly.

Mirus couldn't tell if he should be offended or not, but it was nearly impossible to tell when the Consul wasn't being serious. He decided to let it pass, looked up from the datapad and nodded.

"Seems simple enough. Consider it done."

"The Bureau has taken care of your transport to rendezvous with the frigate. Once there, you are on your own," Marick explained simply. "Good luck, Titan."
