Trade Station Indiaman, Border of the Rylan Dynasty Territory
The bar of the trade station was not a place Sergeni Kostev felt comfortable. He felt the enclosed rotunda design made it hard to keep track of those coming and going and so he had decide to seek a better vantage point on the upper tier. Rylan troops had prevented him from taking any heavy weapons on board but they did allow visitors to carry sidearms and so Sergeni found his hand gripping the heavy plasma pistol in its leather holster on his right thigh as some kind of steadying ritual. Most of the patrons were human and while Vulnians like Sergeni held the appearance of taller, broader humans even he couldn't hide within a sea of racial uniformity.
Any non-Human in the bar found themselves much like Sergeni hovering over to the side. Human factions such as the Rylan Dynasty seemed to compensate for their small swathes of territory and power with racial zeal. What may seem like a good time at a bar could turn sour at the drop of a hat, a mutter or a misunderstanding. While Sergeni was sure that no one would have decided to take a swing at a nine foot alien he didn't exactly credit human intelligence hampered by heavy drinking.
Sergeni ran a hand through his blonde hair, grey eyes peering through the crowds for anyone that could prove to be sources of information; Rylan military officers or port authority figures. People who would know about incoming and outgoing ships. That was the problem with trying to find someone in the galaxy. It was a small needle in a very large haystack yet there were always ways to track bounties. Sergeni figured starting around the point of origin was always a best bet unless the target scrubbed their past. With a sigh he took out a small monocular from his jacket and peered at the various faces with the electronic sight as if hoping in vain to see his target stroll through the door.
