Morkin looked out over the barren, sandy plains of Geonosis and cursed. The heat had been bearing down on him all day, and he was simply frustrated. General Grievous’ troops were late, by at least a week, and his own force of droids was deteriorating. Rust, and the absence of spare parts made things all the more difficult. The CIS base was located about a day’s march from here. I could make it, Morkin thought. Except that Grievous had agreed to rendezvous here, he added grimly to himself.

A lone droid approached him, interrupting his thoughts.

“Excellence?”

“What?” replied the burly Geonosian Morkin, clearly exasperated.

“General Grievous has made contact. He requests you follow me to the briefing room.”

Morkin smiled grimly as he headed towards the briefing room, unsure whether this was a turn for good… or worse.
