The super freighter Magellan in orbit over Centauri Prime lazily drifted through space. All her compartments were nearly full of cargo and the crew's moral was high. After this drive they'd all be making a pretty penny from the League's coin purse.
They were hauling several hundred thousand pounds worth of electronic components and mechanical parts to Ilium for use in construction at the Shipyards. Ilium was making lots of ships for the galaxy to use and Centauri were supplying them with some of their advanced energy weapon components and other electronics and thanks to the free trade agreements between all members of the League of Non-Aligned Systems, the Magellan got the haul of a lifetime.
They were surprised when the latest shuttle to dock with the super freighter only had one occupant. A droid, gray in color with a single red eye that swept back and forth across its face.
"Where's Denorios" The Dock master asked the droid. "He was supposed to pull this shift."
The droid looked down at the dock master and his very synthetic voice rumbled out of the voice box on the droids chest. "He was delayed. Centauri officials sent me to oversee this unloading."
The droids arm shot up lightning quick, holding a datapad. The dock master took it and examined it. It was a work order, signed by the Centauri cargo authority. The droid had signed authorization so the Dock master waved him through.
The droid nodded and pulled a hover cart behind him carrying two medium sized crates. They were labled to go to cargo hold 6A but the droid ignored the label and made a right down the corridor instead of a left. He pulled the hover cart down the hall several hundred meters before pushing it into a room. It was a food supply room for one of the ships two galleys.
The droid pushed the crates off the cart and they hit the ground with a thud. he slid them into a corner of the room and then walked back with the cart to the docking port. Going back onto his ship he placed two more identical crates on the cart and hauled them off his shuttle and into the Magellan as well, this time heading towards the ships engine compartments.
