Chapter 2 - Finding Art

Present. Late evening, somewhere near the old Coronet spaceport on Corellia…

»He in there? «

»He was easy to track down... Listen, in general I trust your instincts, Len’ya, but in this case… he doesn’t look very legendary to me. «

»Art Bolt is one of the most prolific agents the Alliance had. He worked undercover for years. He for instance once provided the alliance a full squadron of X-Wings while pretending he was an imperial Colonel! We’ll need him. Would you go and get him? «

Moments later…

»Hey! Get your hands of me! I paid for that! «

»Arthemias Bolt… good to meet you again. «

» Le – Len’ya?! But…You are dead! «

» Ah, the best compliment for a spy, ain’t it? But you are right. I was dead. … Bolt, the New Republic needs you. «

» Nah thanks, I’m retired. «

» You are drunk. And for people like us there is no retirement. Come with me. I have a job for you. «

» What kind of job is it anyway?  «   

» Retrieving Imperial Plunder. «

»I pass. That’s not worth the effort, isn't it? Burning intelligence resources for some lost art? «

» How about unmasking Ezhugh Vonreg then? «

Arthemias Bolt is suddenly wide awake...

» Vonreg? Second thought, I’m in. «

» Hold on. Why the change of heart, old fossil? «

» The old fossil has his reasons. I mean, you know Vonreg, right? He was an Imperial supporter until the very end. And when tides turned and the Empire shattered, he lamented that the emperor mind-controlled him and threatened his family. And how about them alliance politicians? They embraced his return because he offered extensive financial support for the new Republic. But I don’t buy it. For me, there are two types of former Imperials: The ones who defected after Alderaan and the ones who defected after Endor. The latter are not to be trusted. «

» ... Quite the talker, huh? «

» Len’ya, where did you get your 'friendly' Falleen bodyguard? Another asset of yours? «

»Xher is a talented field agent. She works for my network since years. Eventually, she was an assassin for the Black Sun before I recruited her. «

»Oh snap. I forgot. There is another type of people I distrust… «

»And we don’t need to carry dead weight on our mission… «

»Enough of that. I would trust Xher with my life. And we need Bolt to support against Vonreg. So let’s get to the ship. We have still some recruiting and gathering intel to do... «

Here, the moc at daylight.

The trench looks so good. Nice use of the old Insectoid pieces and wonderful use of lighting.

Great moc and the light makes for an atmospheric scene! I really like the articulation of Art, when he get's dragged out of the building. What kind of building is it? It's Star Wars, so i would always think of a bar first

Those instecoid legs are perfect for some LSW greebling. The stroy is really shaping up. It's like one of those serial stories where you can't wait to read the next part!

Well I purposely left open what exactly Art Bolt was paying for, in that shady dark alley establishment. It's up to your fantasy and to the rating of this forum

Don't even remember which original set the "legs" are from. Some old Mars mission Lego maybe? 

Thanks for following the story 

I'll try to not let you wait all too long for the next part.
