Jana Cruz flicked a cigarette on the table in front of her, in her other hand scrolling through the PDA given to her Callahan on Malta. The mission was simple enough, go to Tau 29 and meet up with one of his old goons, in some slightly formal manner to say the least. It seemed easy enough for Jana. The tau's were quiet enough nowadays with Gallia's continuing advance into Bretonia and Liberty. It finally brought relative peace and allowed the Outcasts to resume their reign on piracy in the region. Almost poetic, but as Jana finished her cigarette she realized nothing was poetic in the world she came from, she stepped out of the bar through the station. Getting into her issued rapier, and went out into the always cold, always unforgiving abyss.

Jana liked to keep this in her mind constantly, that humans were just like space: cold, violent...

Freeport 6 certainly hadn't changed in the time Jana had been through it, although a vibrant bar kept her in high spirits. There were a lot of people in the bar, Jana still had no actual idea what the person she was looking for actually looked like, but still... surely Callahan informed her contact of who they'd be meeting.

It was only time to bide, Jana sat down, lighting another cigarette after the flight from Tau 23, thinking to herself that she silently needed to quit, then chuckled to herself as she remembered where she came from. Jana figured the time had come and she should actually cut down to business, she remembered Callahan's words about the bartender and how they were the key to the meeting. She shrugged and walked up to the bar, smiling coyly as the bartender noticed her presence.

"So, do you know a Harry Callahan? Killer guy from Cambridge?"

For a drug dealer, Jana was rather socially inept

The bartender nodded, quickly taking her behind the "EMPLOYEES ONLY PAST THIS DOOR" sign from the grimy setting of the bar to an immaculate conference room even Interspace Commerce would drool over. In the back of the room sat a single individual, making eye contact with Jana. As the door silently closed behind her Jana cleared her throat, taking in the individual.

"Nice place you got here, swankier than even the swanky bar."

Jana really hoped Callahan wasn't getting her killed
