Jaskia's knees gave out from her position at the viewscreen at the head of the bridge. Her pale, porcllain face was scrunched up in pain, and she reached out for something solid to grab onto--the nearest thing was the arm of a young man about her age, maybe older. He cursed and threw an arm under her armpits, laying her gently on to the floor.
Why can't he feel this?! In her mind's messed up state, she couldn't decipher Force Sensitive from normal.
"Hey, ma'am, are you okay?" His voice drifted across her senses. "Ma'am?"
"I-I'm fine," she said, gathering her wits about her. Already, gears in her mind were turning. "Thank you. Sora, can you come with me for a second?"
--
Nait felt it hit him like a fist. He leaned against the wall of the white cooridor and gasped for air. Ducking into the nearest quarters, he sat, shaky-kneed, on the small beds, quite unaware that there were other Jedi in that room who were experiencing the same thing.
--
Scout heard the footsteps even before they reached the hanger. With one hand against the paneling, Scout managed to sink deep into the Force, urging Naos and Obi-Wan to do the same. She buried herself into the currents, losing herself within them. She hadn't had to use this trick for fourteen years, and was dimly aware that she was more powerful in doing it than ever. Hiding in the Force was harder than a normal trick.
If she managed to keep herself hidden until she was sure no other Force Sensitives were on the station, she would be fine. She pressed these thoughts into the others just to be safe.

We all stayed hidden, Scout, Kenobi, and myself disguising ourselves in the Force. Footsteps were heard on the boarding ramp, and I could just feel a bunch of Imperials' presence outside. Apparently Vader had a whole batch of Stormtroopers aligned right here in this docking bay.
The footsteps got closer and closer, and right when they were over the secret compartments to my suprise Han and Chewie burst out and attacked the three troopers, and while Chewie held both in a chokehold and was pressing the other down with his foot, then Han quickly pulled open the door to Scout's compartment, and Chewie tossed both troopers in there and grabbed the third and threw him down there too. "Chewie, you take off their armour." he demanded "Lady, you can come out now, and so can the rest of you."
I slowly stood, as did the rest of us, and looked around "So you obviously have a plan...." I commented

Scout had to press her back to the side wall so flying limbs wouldn't mess up her face. Holding them in place with the Force, Scout lifted herself up to the ledge and sat down. She pursed her lips. It's for the better, anyway. With a few subtle twist with the Force, she pinched off all of their blood vessels in their brain. It was a technique she had mastered six years ago on a mission to Drognar. She had taken a few anatomy classes since then, and was proficient in pinching off major nerves and other major vessels that kept the normal human alive. It wasn't a Dark Side act. She didn't believe in the light side or the dark side anymore. Not since she had last seen Vader, anyway.
Han leaned over to take off their helmets, obviously expecting a fight. "Hey!" he said in a tight whisper. "These guys are dead!"
"I know," Scout said. "Now hurry up." She counted the armor sets. "There's not enough for all of us, and none of them would fit me or Chewie. You three go ahead and get dressed." She turned around and picked up one of the discarded carabines the stormtroopers had dropped. She shouldered it with practiced ease, and aimed at a spot at the wall. She checked the number of shots left, and nodded to herself.
When the men were done, Scout and Chewie stayed in the ship while Luke and Han went out. "Everything's fine," she heard Han call. "They jettisoned the escape pods. No sign of lifeforms."

After I had slipped the armour on I strapped the helmet down and looked at Scout "You know, I always thought I would die before wearing one of these." I said, my voice came out mechanical "Now I see why sometimes they may be a good thing."
I took up a blaster rifle, glad to have a weapon in my grasp again. It had been a long time since I had used a blaster, though. I hoped I still could. Because something told me we were going to be in a fight soon enough.

"You'll do fine," Scout promised. She gave him one more glance, and a whisper of pain flashed beneath her eyes. She hefted the blaster carabine in her hands, then gave it to Chewie. "I don't need it," she said. She peeked around the corner, and her upper lip lifted in a snarl as she picked out at least fifty assembled soldiers. Grey Imperials were in the back, and Vader was in the front, standing out against the stark white of the stormtrooper armor.
Revulsion arose within her. She let the feeling come, and watched it go. Your time's coming, metalbreath.
When Vader turned and left, the soldiers went back to their duties. Han and Luke descended, and Scout came right behind them, walking in full view. Naos was behind her, as was Chewbacca. She felt Obi-Wan's power and Naos' combine with her's, and they made a protective bubble around themselves, sending out small static bursts that would impare a stormtrooper's helmet long enough for them to slip free.
Nobody saw them.

As we walked, I looked up and saw a control room above the hanger. "There." I said in a low tone to the rest of the group "We'll need to go there, at least for starters. I doubt we'll be able to disable the tractor beam up there, but R2 can tap into the schematics and we'll see where we can disable the beam."
And we can find Darrina and Leia. They have to be here. I told Scout mentally
We continued on, and went through a hall or two, and soon got to the control room, where an officer was sitting.

Scout let go of the illusion immeadiatly. The two guards on either side of the door raised their weapons, and Scout quickly folded the small length of wire she had nicked from the Falcon and blocked a lunge with it. She pushed the attacker's hand down, and brought her other fist up to knock off his helmet. Stepping around the man, she looped the wire around his neck and threw him over her shoulder. She let go with her left hand and swung backwards. The man spun around like a top and collapsed to the ground, dead.
Chewie had already taken out the one on the left, and Han blew a hole in the chest of the man sitting at the controls. "Artoo, plug in and find us a way out of here," Scout snapped.

Artoo beeped in a response of obedience, and quickly got over to the controls and got to work. After a moment he and Threepio started to chat, and Threepio turned to us "R2 has located Princess Leia, and the controls to the tractor beam." he stated
"The Princess!? She's here?!" Luke said in shock
"Princess?! Hey what's going on?" Han said as he glanced at all of us and stood up from the chair he had been sitting in

"Give me the location to the tractor beam," said Obi-Wan. "I won't be long." After a brief heartfelt goodbye between him and Luke--which did not include Scout or Naos--Obi-Wan left.
"Where is she?" Scout asked. "And does it say anything about Darrina?"
"Level 5, Detention block A-A-33," replied Threepio. "You had better hurry, ma'am, because it appears they are to be executed in precisely one hour."
"Executed?" Luke echoed.
"Now don't start getting funny ideas, Skywalker," Han said, leaning back in the tech's seat. "The old man told us to wait right here."
"Artoo, find a way into that detention block," Luke said.
Han put his feet on the tech console. "I ain't goin' anywhere," he stated.
"They're going to execute her," Luke said. "Look, a few minutes ago you said you didn't want to wait here and be captured and now you wanna stay?"
"Marching into the detention area is not what I had in mind!" Han snapped.
"But they're going to kill her!"
"Better her than me."
Leaning down beside Han, Scout whispered, "She's rich."

"Rich?" Han said with a raised eyebrow
"Yeah," I interrupted, catching on "If you thought we were giving you alot, you'd no doubt get a load of credits from her if you rescued her and gave her transportation."
Han seemed to be thinking about it for a moment, and finally said "Fine. Lets go."
