Chapter 6— Discovery
"This moment in time
To the deepest waters some's incline
The day changes, such is time
The darkness comes, but I feel fine
I see a rainbow without sunshine
Could touch a star, but I decline
I know I'm nearer to the divine
For in the darkest hour, I still shine"
Mozez – "Baby Blue"
Osha rummaged through the rucksack and pulled out scratched beige electrobinoculars. She wedged herself between a pair of crumbling gray boulders and peered at Qimir and his master. The tall specter wore a dark robe, but even from that distance, she glimpsed the gaunt, pale face shrouded behind a cowl. It stood over a foot taller than Qimir and exuded an overbearing power next to the apprentice.
The star courier it traveled in appeared freshly minted, its design sleek and mounted with heavy artillery. Qimir's master had to be a wealthy diplomat or a high-class business executive to fly around in hardware like that.
Wait.
Osha froze as the master turned its head in an arc that gave her a full view of its face.
A Muun.
The master was a member of the intergalactic banking clan that practically ran all the finances throughout the galaxy. A humanoid species known to be obsessive with money was a Sith Lord? Osha held her breath as the Muun gazed in her direction. She was a mile away and blended into the rocky terrain. It didn't see her, but it appeared to sense her presence. Why else would it look her way?
