USH'S GAME EPISODE IV- 'CHASE'- LIGHT SIDE AREA

The man looks thoughtful, not entirely convinced.

"Take care of them and I will believe you," he says.

-

"What... who are you? Where... where am I?" asks the girl. Hibernation sickness; it can be pretty nasty.

"That's why we hunt them down all the time, sir...
Tell us where they are, and you will see.."

"They are somewhere in the monorail system. They just blew up a security checkpoint near the starport."

"Can you show us how to get there? fast?"

"Xeth," Kellan murmured under her breath. "We haven't got time for this. Next time, you will NOT thaw UNKNOWN individuals without first consulting me." She conveyed her disapproval with him through whispered words much more clearly than shouting ever could. She looked him straight in the eye. "Understood ?"

"Yes Master Gundark," Xeth says, looking back. "Just thought that if Kuylen has someone in a carbonite block, we might have to get that someone out..."

Xeth turns to the girl. "You have hibernation sickness. You are on Nar Shaddaa, but you must come with us for us to explain more to you. You cannot fight us in your weak state, and apparently you cannot fight the man that put you in that block..."

Xeth helps the girl get up and tries to get her walking.

Actually, this ghirl seems quite strong already. You are a good judge of fitness, Xeth, and this girl has taken great trouble to be physically capable.

Xeth and Gundy- you both sense incoming danger! From outside.

-

"There seems to be some sort of power outage in the monorail system..." says the man, almost guility. "You could walk the tunnels but it might take a while!"

MORE power outages? Someone is really doing the infrastructure of thios place over!

"tell how to get there, we'll force run"

He hands you the equivalent of an underground/subway system map. Trouble is, it reads like an underground/subway system map...

The starport is the large orange blob at the far right hand side, THAT you can make out...

come again?

Just that like most railway maps, the map does not bear a great deal of resemblance to reality.

However, the guy says he can take you to where the Dark Siders entered the complex, and they have pretty much moved in a straight line down a monorail tunnel from there.

we'll follow him then to that point

He actually leads you around in a very wide circle- this white corridor seems to be the circumference of the complex. The place where the Dark Siders entered is clear for two reasons- first of all, they tripped a mine just like you, secondly, the dead bodies of the guards that came to stop them still lie here. Two of the bodies have been stripped of their uniforms.

A short way down the corridor is the monorail 'station', a very simple affair. You guess it's main use is to shunt smuggled cargo around at high sppeds- the amount of effort and money that has gone into this operation is ridiculous. The monorail lights are flickering as the power outage problem continues, and the bay is empty.

"They went left," explains the guy, "but the track has been blown to bits about a mile down, near the starport. We lost them after that."

*kneels next to bodies*
*places hand on their foreheads*
May the force be with you ... always...
*to leader*
"If you find them, treat them with extreme care, they're dangerous. Best thing to do is to contact us ASAP.
*then goes into the direction as the leader said*

Lucky you are Jedi- when the lights go out it becomes pitch dark around here.

Yopu can only hope that they have not found Persis already...

we move around with caution, force sense "on" and if needed with ignited sabres for lights

Xeth brings out his sonic blaster and whirls around to face the doorway. He also ignites his lightsaber, one weapon in each hand.

"I have a bad feeling about this..."

A cannister comes flying through the ship doorway, Xeth- and gas starts to emerge from it...

-

The first important thing you come to, yerss, some 30 minutes later, is the blown apart remnants of the security checkpoint. This place has been ANNIHILATED- a ridiculous amount of explosive vaporised the tracks, station and checkpoint and brought the roof down. The smugglers have built a temporary route through the debris as they survey the area for repairs.

Xeth drops his sonic blaster and begins using the Force to push the cannister out and then the gas.

The cannister falls out, but it was pressurised and most of its gas had jetted out already. Sadly, your control of the force is not fine enoughnto have any effect on the gas and another cannister has landed inside the ship.. dioxin! You stop breathing at once but you cannot keep this up forever!
