Jedi Infirmary and Research Lab

[Luke Skywalker]

Luke enters quietly, and sees the man lying back, with his eyes closed. He says nothing in case the man is resting, and instead takes a seat and goes over the events he saw broadcasted earlier over the Holonet. Luke determines that at the very least, they will have to free the people being held. He begins to make plans.

[Lord Zairon]

The man opens his eyes and looks at Skywalker. He looks much better than he did the day before. "Skywalker, welcome back. You learn anything yet?"

[Luke Skywalker]

"Yes I have," replies Luke. He reaches up and turns on the holovid. He turns it to the news frequency.

Late in the day the media finally displays news of what has happened on Carratos.

"This is Dynasty Starscream and I'm reporting from District 9 of Chofin's Worker's sector. Earlier today, Capt. Loke Groundrunner of the 667th Stormtrooper group walked into the unofficial town hall with orders to arrest and execute several members of the districts residents."

"What is even more disturbing is that he claims he was there on orders by the Imperial Executor and Savior of Carratos, Lord Ire, himself."


"Here we see Capt. Groundrunner shouting order to the mass of people protesting this show of force." Dynasty Starcream says before switching over footage from a surveillance station.

--"By order of your master and lord, Supreme Commander and Dark Lord Ire, certain people are to be placed under arrest and punished. We do not need to explain ourselves to you. Any attempts to enter will result in your deaths. Head back to your homes now."--

"Capt. Groundrunner then ordered an unknown civilian woman shot and killed for protesting the action."



"Luckily for the people, this woman was the only casualty. A brave Imperial Knight, who we have been unable to identify, stepped forward and stopped the ill deeds of these troopers and their commander."


"We have been unable to reach the Imperial Palace for comment, and all news of this has seemingly been blocked from galactic viewing, but we will keep following this story as it develops. This is Dynasty Starscream... back to Ford Solo in the studio.

Luke turns it off. "That is all that I have learned so far." He pauses a moment. "I'm making preperations to go to Carratos to see what I can do about the situation."

[Lord Zairon]

"That was her..." The man says quietly after it was over. "That was Mary who got shot..."

[Luke Skywalker]

"I'm sorry for your loss." says Luke. "I'm going to Carratos to make sure your son is safe, and to confront Lord Ire. Is there anything else I need to know before I go?"

[Lord Zairon]

The man glanced confused as he watched the news play. "Why would an Imperial Knight attack stormtroopers?" He said confused. "Maybe the Knights already saved my son! Did it say anything about if they released the hostages?" He asked his eyes looking a little brighter.

"I can probably come and help if you need me. My lungs have been cleared up and bruises are just bruises nothing too major." He says sitting up.

[Luke Skywalker]

"I don't see a problem with you coming along," replies Luke. "You can come with Mara and the other Jedi. I'm going on ahead in my X-Wing to scout things out. Plus I have a meeting tomorrow." Luke thinks a moment. "I may be able to garner some help at the meeting."

[Lord Zairon]

"Thank you so much." The man says, "Umm...I'm not really a fighter though, but when I get there I can try and find some resistance people to help if you want." He says. "Or if I could somehow get that shuttle I stole repaired maybe I could try and gather people before you get there." The man thinks, "I'm not sure what you need. I don't want to get in your way, so you just tell me how I can help."

[Luke Skywalker]

"I'm not sure about organizing a resistance just yet. I want to assess the situation before blowing in there with no dampers. You can ride on the Jade Shadow, and once we are there, if we need to rally people, then you can help us do so." Luke thinks a moment. "Don't contact anyone and tell them that you are returning. I want our arrival kept quiet."

[Lord Zairon]

Ross nods, "Yes, sir. Thank you, sir." He says with a nod. "Thank you so much Skywalker." The man smiles, "I'll always remember you."

[Luke Skywalker]

"You're welcome. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. There is still a lot to be done," explains Luke. " And I need to get started. If you will excuse me, I have some preparations to make. I'll see you on Carratos."

Luke waves and heads out the door.
