Panting, Alexis ran down the ships corridor towards the main access port surrounded on all sides by the bulky shapes of her Gran crewmen.
The metal decking shook under her feet as another laser blast hammered against the hull, the last of the ships shields were going.
She just had to hold off the boarding party with the help of her small squad for a few minutes and the engineering guys would probably get the hyperdrive fixed.
It would take the judicial's a bit of time to cut through the access ports blast doors, so they might still be able to get out of this mess intact.
Ahead of her Alexis could make out the blast door through which the enemy was trying to board, she stopped for a second stunned by what she saw; the unmistakable glow of a green lightsaber blade penetrating through the blastdoor's surface, the metal of the door around it turning red hot and boiling down the doors face in a stream.
Before she had time to register the consequences of this discovery the blastdoor's inner lock was severed and grey uniformed judicials began streaming into ship. She saw the flash of a lightsaber blade deflecting her crewmens fire back at them before a stun beam hit her and she slipped into darkness...
Tavion woke with a start, sweat dripping down her face.
Angrily, she used the force to hurl a chair against the wall and sat up on the edge of her bed.
It has been the same dream for three nights in a row now, but if that Bothan information dealer made good on his promises she knew the dream would soon stop.
With uncanny timing her comlink flashed once and a message came across the screen of her bedside terminal
"She is being held with a crew of captured Gran pirates in the temporary detention level of the New Republic base in the city of Kontad, on planet Antion.
Best chance of infiltration may lie with a somewhat decadent warden known to frequent the nightclub nearby.
Local information dealers warn of three jedi in the vicinity and heightened security due to an Imperial raid there last night. If your planning on landing in that Imperial shuttle of yours expect some angry rebels.
Please supply the agreed sum to the usual account.
Failure to do so may result in the New Republic getting an anonymous tip off regarding your intentions."
-kreyy'faa"
The little furry scumbag had a lot of guts to threaten her like that, he would receive his payment and if any of his information was wrong he would receive a lot more than he intended.
But first there was this detention centre to take care of.
"Heightened security..." Tavion pondered to herself.
