Eirtae Relena stood motionless outside the Hapan royal palace, up against a wall, out of the way of prying eyes, surveillance cameras, and searchlights. A platoon of Hapan gaurds patrolled past the wall she was against; she heard them making lewd jokes about the Queen Mother, and their voices soon passed. It was night, and as such, Eirtae had donned a black jumpsuit that was trim against her. She didn't want a loose piece of clothing get caught in a motion censor. The only thing weighing her down was her utility belt. On it was a liquid-cable grapple hook, two days of reconstituted rations, her trusty blaster pistol (with rechargable blaster pack), a lockpick, a vibroblade, a cyonide pill, and a small canteen. The utilities only weighed about two pounds, and so she was still able to perform at her best. She also had a pair of night vision goggles equipped.
Eirtae didn't know what exactly she was looking for. She knew the name of the file and that it was embedded deep within the most secure Hapan computer terminal in the city. She gave an involuntary shiver as light rain began to fall. 'Well,' she though. 'Time to get going.'
She pulled her grappling hook off her hip and used it to ascend to the third story bank of windows, the highest it would go. Using her lockpick tool, she slipped inside and shut the window behind her silently. She was inside a lavatory, just as planned. She locked the stall and pulled her feet up on the toilet and queued the 3-D map on her goggles. Drawing her blaster, she stepped into the hallway silently.
