The Mandalorian

I am told that you can lead me to others of my kind.

Come on. It's uncouth to talk business immediately.

All right, stop! Stop. I'll tell you where he is.

The city of Mos Pelgo. I swear it by the Gotra.

Oh! This little thing has had me worried sick.

I need your help. Where is Mos Pelgo?

It's an old mining settlement. Not much to speak of.

Where did you get the armor?

Bought it off some Jawas.

Hand it over.

I'm sure you call the shots where you come from,

but 'round here, I'm the one tells folks what to do.

Help me kill it, I'll give you the armor.

- That's the krayt dragon. - It's a whole lot bigger than I guessed.

This was well-earned. Thank you.

Get the Child!

Wait! Don't hurt the Child.

If you put one mark on him,

there's no place you will be able to hide from me.

We can strike a bargain. There's a lot of value in this wreckage.

Take your pick.

But leave the Child.

Okay.

Here. It's yours.

Take it.

It's okay.

You okay?

I don't know. Looks like someone's gonna be goin' home empty-handed.

You finally found a Mandalorian and ya killed him?

He wasn't Mandalorian. I bought this armor off of him, though.

- What'd that set you back? - Killed the krayt dragon for him.

Oh. Is that all?

He was my last lead on finding other Mandalorians.

Okay. Well, you might be in luck.

Dr. Mandible says he can connect you with someone who can help you,

if you cover his call this round. It's what he said.

What's the bet?

- Five hundred. - That's a high-stakes game.

Hey, he's on a hot streak.

Is the pot right?

Ha! Idiot's Array! Pay up, thorax!

I thought you said he was on a hot streak?

Oh. stop your cryin'. You'll rust.

All right. He says the contact will rendezvous at the hangar.

They'll tell you where to find some Mandalorians.

That's what you wanted, right?

- Yes. - All right, well, stop your mopin'.

More importantly, did you bring back any of that dragon meat?

Better not have any maggots on it. I don't like maggots.

Hey, don't overcook it, Treadwell. I like it medium rare!

I'm not some Rodian, for crying out loud.

All right, here's the deal.

A Mandalorian covert is close. It's in this sector, one system trailing.

Are they the ones that left Nevarro?

Don't know. All I know is that the contact will lead you to them.

- How much will it cost me? - Well, that's the great news. It's free.

Aside from a finder's fee, of course.

- What's the not-great news? - Nothing. It's all great.

Okay.

However, there is one small skank in the scud pie.

- Which is? - The contact wants passage to the system.

- Do you vouch for them? - On my life.

- Fine. - And...

no hyperdrive.

You want me to travel sublight? Deal's off.

It's one sector over.

Moving fast is the only thing keeping me safe.

These are mitigating circumstances.

What do you mean "mitigating"?

- I'm not a taxi service. - I know, I know, I hear you.

But I can vouch for her.

What's the cargo?

It's her spawn. She needs her eggs fertilized by the equinox

or her line will end. If you jump into hyperspace, they'll die.

She said her husband has settled on the estuary moon of Trask

in the system of the gas giant Kol Iben.

- She said all that? - I paraphrased.

Is she sure there are Mandalorians there?

She said her husband has seen them.

Do you know the husband?

No. I just met her ten minutes before you walked in.

I thought you said you vouched for her on your life.

What can I say, I'm an excellent judge of character.

Now, I'm gonna ask you to stay strapped in whenever you're seated.

Traveling sublight is a bit dicey these days.

Whether it's pirates or warlords,

someone either ends up with a nice chunk of change or your ship.

I don't speak whatever language that is. You speak Huttese?

So, I'm gonna hit the rack. I've set the nav for our course.

It's gonna take a while. I recommend you get some rest.

Kid?

No, no, no!

That is not food. Don't do that again.

Nap time.

Razor Crest, M-One-Eleven. Come in, Razor Crest. Do you copy?

This is Razor Crest. Is there a problem?

We noticed your transponder is not emitting.

Yes, I'm pre-Empire surplus.

I'm not required to run a beacon.

That was before. This sector is under New Republic jurisdiction.
