The dark places

113-06-20 Somewhere in The Bleak Lands region.

A single light on the lone desk was the only illumination in the room. There was a window facing out into space, but it was polarized at the moment, and not allowing any of the starlight that was slamming into the side of the station into the room.

That was the way the rooms one occupant preferred things though. When he was looking over reports he didn't want any distractions, and he often found himself starring into the blackness of space, sometimes losing hours to it.

As he was reading another report, the chime on the door activated, telling him someone wanted access to his office. As one hand reached for the pad that would release the doors lock, the other reached under his desk and rested on the grip of a laser pistol.

The door opened to admit an average height man, looking to be in his mid thirties. He looked to be of Caldari decent, but he also looked like he had some other races features in his facial structure. The rest of him was unremarkable, he looked as if he would blend into a crowd. Anyone looking at him, their eyes would just slide past without a second glance. The only feature that stood out about him, were his eyes. They were dark blue, and held no emotion of any kind.

The man sitting behind the desk smiled, taking his hand off the laser pistol's grip, he stood and offered the hand to the other man. "Glad you could make it Graz, I hope your journey was uneventful."

Graz smiled, but the smile did not reach his emotionless eyes. "Thank you Misk, it was." He sat in the only chair that was in front of the desk, and looked up at Misk as he sat down. "So, whats the job you need me to do?"

Misk reached his hands down to the desk and picked up a data pad and handed it to Graz, "We need you to grab a capsuleer, and bring her back here, alive."

Graz took the pad and opened the files on it. The first thing to pop up was a picture of a young Gallente woman, with a small nose, full lips, black hair, and a smile on her face. A name was up at the top right of the picture, "Laria Raven huh?" He scrolled through the information on her, "Says here she works for Re-Awakened, that the reason you want her nabbed?" He looked up at Misk.

Misk shook his head, "No, that's not the reason. If you read further on, you'll see she's involved with someone, Tiger Phoenix, co-leader of a Brutor clan." he rested his elbows on the desk, "He has caused us some trouble in the past, and we want to repay him for that."

Graz nodded, then went back to reading the information. When he finished, he put the pad into a pocket of his jacket, then stood. "I should have her back here within two weeks, most likely less. I'll contact you when I have her and I'm heading back here." He left through the door.

Misk sat at his desk in silence for a few moments, then he pressed a button on his desk. A small holo screen popped up above the desk, showing a older man dressed in golden robes. Misk bowed his head low before speaking, "My lord, the bounty hunter is on his way to retrieve the package, he will inform me when he has it and is on his way back here. I'll relay that to when he does my lord."

The man on the screen just nodded, then broke the connection.
