STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Rescue

"That was an amazing job Fido, Perhaps we should stick to the talking."

"Let's just cooperate until we actually get there...once we get to the station, we can take care of them. Can't do so so easily from here."

Your ship is drawn in slowly and positioned by the tractor beam so that an extending hatch can connect with the ship and allow you to leave it, one at a time.

Xavier waits idly while the beam takes them in.

The ship is now docked, actually.

Xavier will go first out of the hatch.

Psssh. Rianna wanted to be the first to start killing people...

And so she will, as she's petty enough to attempt to trip Xavier going out the hatch.

Dak will also follow out of the hatch, Josh says.

The three of you scramble out of the hatch and spill into the airlock. Beyond that is a spacious junction where the airlock meets with a narrow hall.

Opposite the airlock is a cobbled-looking protocol droid, near the wall.

"My Master bids you welcome," it chirps. "Now, if you will follow me, I will take you to see him."

"You are one of the most impatient people I've ever met Rianna," Xavier says calmly while getting up.

"Lead the way," Xavier says.

Rianna just glares at Xavier, and then turns her glare to the droid.

"I can't stand protocol droids...I vote we simply destroy this thing. It's half-wrecked already."

They greatly irritate you, Rianna. Right now he is just another obstacle preventing you from wrapping up this whole goddamn thing.

"I beg your pardon?" the droid asks.

"Nothing of any concern to you," she replies coldly.

The protocol droid is hobbling off down one of the narrow hallways.

Xavier will follow opening up his senses to the feelings around him.

Are Rianna and Dak following as well?

Sure why not.

Nope, gonna stay on the ship.

Yeah, following.

Excellent. Then you are all together when the ray shields are activated and you are trapped in a wibbly cone of energy.

Funny... you did not sense the trap before it was triggered.

The protocol droid stands outside of it, having been just ahead of you.

"Forgive me, but my Master requested that I lure you into confinement," it says politely. "The ray shields are mobile and will escort you to the desired location. Please stay ahead of the rays, or you will be vaporized. Thank you."

Rianna glares at the droid.

"Oh, good, another reason for me to want to wipe out every last one of those Shepherds..." she mutters angrily. "And how did none of us sense this? We're smarter than that...or I am, anyway."

Dak whips out his sabers. "Okay, votes for going through the floor?"
