The Terran Empire surely did not hesitate to invite her, once she had mentioned her interest in the bounty on Jorik Kavas head. In fact it seemed important enough to invite her to Terras. Cathleen had never been to the Empire’s capital before, but she disliked it immediately once she had entered the atmosphere. Except for a few green spots, the whole planet was one continuous city. While Cathlyn usually liked the lively streets of any city, this was by far too much. The patterns of grey and blue skyscrapers melted into one grey ocean, while she flew over them. Once she had gained landing permission, she set the Shadow Hawk down on a small landing platform. While still in the city, the military complex she had been guided to was far from any passage any citizens would take and well obscured by other military buildings. The Terrans might not like the idea of their government having contracts with bounty hunters, so all of it was kept secret.
As she left the platform, she was immediately observed by hundreds of security cameras. Every room had some guards watching it aswell. She finally entered the room, where the meeting should take place. An elderly officer was standing behind a table in the center of the room. Cathleen had to admit, the Terrans had a certain eye for strategic planning. They had not left a single object to take cover on the floor. Along the walls, there were several guards and even military drones positioned on a platform, a bit higher as floor levle. Every one of them would have a perfect aim at her from this position. However, what might have impressed an ordinary man of woman, could not fool Cathlyn. All of the soldiers still had their guns on their back and even the security drones had lowered their blaster. If anything went wrong, she could easily shot anyone before they even had the chance to react. However, that was not why she was here. „Welcome, miss…“, the officer started, but Cathlyn held up one hand, silencing him. „Let’s skip that. We both know, why we are here: business. So let’s directly come to that.“, she said in a harsh tone. There was no point of waisting time here. „Very well, so, Jorik Kavas, a General of the Centuri forces and an enemy to the Empire will be the target. We will reward you with 300.000 creates, if you take him out. The bounty will be paid, as soon as his death is confirmed, either by intel or by you, handing over his corpse.“. That was the way she liked contracts, quick and simple. However, she still saw a chance here… „A general of the Centuri forces, you say…well…I do assume the one who kills him will have a lot of trouble with the Centuri in the future, right ?“. She actually didn’t care, but she could raise the bounty this way. „Well, maybe…“. Yes, she got him here. „I thought so, thus I require a raise of the bounty to guarantee my safety in the future.“ „I don’t know, if we can…“ „You can for sure. 500.000 credits and we have a deal.“. „While such high rewards are not within the Terran contract guidelines, I assume your efficiency would justify such investments…very well…we have a deal. 500.000 credits for the death of Jorik Kavas.“ „We have a deal, indeed.“, Cathlyn answered and turned around, making sure to have the last word in this rather short conversation. It would not have needed any bounty to convince her to hunt Jorik Kavas, however, a good profit made it even more interesting.

Here is my entry for the first galactic challenge of Struggle for Klegon. I am not too satisfied with the MoC, since it lacks color, but the photo is ok. Also, I had the chance to re-use my infantry drone design here. Hope you like it !
