The Auric Runner reapeared on the edge of the Pyria system. Cale presed the button he had been intent to press before and his ship emitted its own sensor cloak. though Cale doubted the opposing force had scouts this far out, he wasn't going to take any chances.
He drummed his fingers on the consol as he stared at Pyria, now a marble sized star in the blackness of space.
"Now this is interesting. an outdated SD, Ties, and possibly some other cruisers are blockading Blackmoon. and they might have mercenary help." He said noting the other ship in the chase. "we're dealing with something the Republic might wanna know about."
"Sir, Ive done a data search on the ship that hailed us? information tells us its the flag ship of the Federation."
Cale was suddenly paying attention. "really now? now Im interested. but that doesn't solve the problem of the cargo."
Cale took a sip from his flask and thought.
"Tell you what. I got a plan..."

some time later, the Auric Runner drifted out from the Verseids, the Pyria system's asteroid belt towards Borleas. her sensor cloak registered her as a rogue asteroid about the size of an airspeeder. she was essentially moving on momentum from her intial boost in the field and was running dead. Her backup battery kept the vitals on, and in an instant Cale could have her combat ready.
But so far no one seemed to care if another small asteroid was sucked in by borleas' gravity well, especially one small enough to burn up in orbit.
Cale chuckled like a fiend. "Those smuggling lessons are paying off. Its been hours since they ran us off, and it'll be at least another five before we reach the planet. No one will see us comming."
"Why is that sir?"
"They won't think us dumb enough to come back. Thats why." Cale checked his momentum as they continued to drift.
"If the numbers you crunched are right, we'll land on the far side of the planet, which will be having it's night. then we see for ourselves if the biotech lab moved or if it's just under new ownership. man, Im so clever I suprise even myself."
Cale chuckled again.

"Admiral, where is the Auric Runner?" Imperius demanded.
"It..escaped us, my Lord. We assume its in system...our ships are giving chase at the moment," the Admiral said, firm where anyone else would stutter.
"Don't bother Admiral," Imperius said, his eyes burning, "Boba Fett will do the job."
