The wire that Cyborg had used to expedite his search over the Dataverse retracted back into his finger as he logged off the computer terminal. He stood and began to walk towards the door. The librarian flashed a brilliant smile as he returned the log in information.
"Find everything you need?" She said as she twirled her finger through her hair.
"I did, thanks for all your help"
"Of course anytime, don't be a stranger come back anytime if you need anything"
"Will do" Cyborg said with a laugh as he turned to leave. She waved lightly as he exited from the library.
Cyborg pulled up his own computer screen that projected from his arm. He began studying the map of Courscant. Better to know where the important buildings were in case he needed to go there. Cyborg was interested to see that several lower tiers lay beneath the one he was currently on, this one being dubbed Tier 1 respectively. Not much information was written on them, at least not from the city's data base.
"Hey buddy, stop where you are and give me your wallet. Give me all you got. I want your money not your life, but if you try to make a move I won't think twice"
Surprised Cyborg let the projected screen disappear as he dropped his arms. Standing in front of him was a weasely looking man with a make shift eye patch over his right. In his hand was a blaster.
"Alright, alright, I do t want any trouble" Cyborg said as he moved his hand behind his back. The sound of gears and shifting metal echoed slightly in the area
"What the he is that?!" The one eyed mugger demanded.
"I'm not wearing pants as you can see, its a compartment in my leg." Cyborg lied as his hand just finished transforming into his own blaster. A loud whine resounded as he brought his hand back into view, pointing it at the mugger.
"I think my gun is bigger than yours, why don't you throw yours down?" Cyborg said calmly. The end of Cyborg's blaster began to glow a dark blue as he charged the bolt up. The man's one eye widen as he looked at the weapon as he quickly threw his gun to the floor.
"Smart move, now, turn around and put your hands behind your back." Cyborg said, still pointing his blaster at him. The man quickly complied with the order. Cyborg roughly grabbed his hands, restraining them in place. Cyborg began the process of transforming his blaster back into his hand, once that was done he brought up the projected computer again.
"Let's see what the cops have to say about this little altercation shall we?" Cyborg said starting to map his way to the the police department. The mugger groaned as Cyborg pushed him forward as they marched down the street.
*****
The doors to the police department slid open quietly as Cyborg and his new 'friend' approached them. The crook tried to shake loose for the millionth time, shaking vigorously as he tried to free himself. Cyborg's grip proved to be too much for the lanky form of the mugger who gave up and relaxed as he was pushed forward.
"Well look who it is, if it isn't one-eyed Maxy!" Yelled a black clothed officer sitting behind a desk.
"That ain't my name and you know but ya filthy pig! Its Maxwell and I'm a top notch criminal, ya feel me?" Maxwell spat at the officer.
"Clearly not if you got caught by a random Prime walking down the street." He said chuckling. "Officer Bennet, take Maxy here to holding and book him". The officer named Bennet stepped forward and placed a pair of handcuffs around Maxwell's wrist and began ushering him through a door off to the side.
"Great work kid, what's your name?"
"Cyborg, and I'm happy to get a criminal off the streets is all."
"Even so, most of the primes we run into would have just shot and asked questions later. The EPD could use a guy like you." The officer said putting his feet on the desk he sat behind.
"You're offering me a job?" Cyborg said surprised. He had figured the EPD would berate him for making a citizen's arrest, much like the police constantly did back home.
"Sure, having a prime on the force would help us greatly. Course you'd have to do a job for us first. Need to make sure you are sparkly clean and what not."
" What kind of job?" He said crossing his arms skeptically.
"Nothing major, we've been having problems with another prime in the lower tiers. Been giving my boys a hell of a time. When they finally find the bastard they end up dead. This guy ain't no joke, he's the real deal."
"I'd be happy to Sir, anything to help rid the omniverse and Courscant of another criminal."
"Great! Come with me and we will debrief you and get all the paper work written up." The cop said shaking Cyborg's hand with a smile.
"Find everything you need?" She said as she twirled her finger through her hair.
"I did, thanks for all your help"
"Of course anytime, don't be a stranger come back anytime if you need anything"
