Scout hurriedly put the limp body of Darrina in front of her and sat down. She pushed off, and felt the scrape of metal against her bottom. Her arm slid through something wet and mushy, and soon the platform turned into a vertical drop. She reached out to the Force to cradle them, to slow their descent.
They landed on a heap of garbage albit lighter than they would normally. Darrina groaned again, and her eyes flickered open.

"Get in there!" Han shouted to Luke, and after giving the Stormtroopers a few blasts Luke hopped in and slid down
Han and I continued to fire at the Stormtroopers, but they were multiplying by the second. They were piling in, and soon they'd be right where we were standing, so we needed to get down that chute quick.
"Get in there!" Han yelled to Chewie, but Chewie roared and shook his head at Han in defiance
"Get in there you big oaf!" Han shouted frusteratedly
Chewie finally, and most likely reluctantly, crouched down and crawled in. He barely fit but it'd work, and he went flying down.
"Go!" Han told me as he continued to blast, and the troopers were closing in
I nodded simply, and jumped into the chute, and quickly glided down it. As I got closer and closer to the garbage area I could hear Han got in right after me, and within a few seconds I finally fell right into a pile of trash, and looked at the rest of the group. Soon, Han fell in as well.

Scout was attending to Darrina. "Remember anything?" she asked in a low voice. She ran a hand over Darrina's head, looking for any lasting damage.
Darrina remembered. She grimaced and sat up. Luckily, they had landed on a pile of garbage that hadn't been submerged in the liquid-type substance in the middle. She wrinkled her nose in distaste, and helped herself up. "Yeah, I tried slotting Tarkin... Where are we?"
"You don't what to know," Scout said in a low voice. She glanced at the assembled party, and scratched her head discreetly. "You have another tropical location for us, Naos? How about a sewage pipe next time?"

"This might be our last tropical location." I replied
"What do you mean? Do you think those Imperials will follow us down here?" Luke asked
I shook my head as I stood on a pile of garbage, avoiding the er, pond of garbage. "They won't come down here, but they'll probably try to smash us if we don't get out of here in time."
Chewie tried to fire at the door, but it merely bounced right off and Han yelled out as the blast went all around the small room. I quickly ducked and groaned.

Scout wished for her lightsaber.
As soon as the energy from the blast disappeared into the wall, Scout sighed. Han, jumpy as ever, barked something at Chewie she didn't quite hear. Luke had dropped his blaster and was busy digging through the water searching for it. Scout sighed, and continued to look for a way out. A door--obviously what Chewie had shot at--was on the other side of the room. A maintenance hatch, no doubt. And, obviously, locked.
She stood and stepped into the sludge, shivering at the grossnesss of it all. She stepped up to the small platform and checked the door. It only opened from the inside, and it'd be hard without a clear view of the other side...
Luke's gasp interrupted her. A loud splash followed, and she twisted around. Darinna scrambled to the makeshift garbage bank and started digging through the water. "Kid!" Han shouted, following suit. Scout watched open-mouthed as Luke came up gasping for air, a large snake-like creature wrapped around his neck. Darrina started fumbling with it while Han tried to get a steady shot.

My eyes widened at Luke, and Han and I both raised our blasters and fired at the...thing, and we both got a good hit, and it slithered back down into the water. Luke breathed heavily and yelled "WHAT was THAT?!"
We heard a roar-like grumble from the water and all of us stepped back slightly, and Luke spotted some small slither in the water and yelled "THERE IT IS!"
Han fired several times, and hopefully hit it. We'll soon find out.
I sighed, and just looked around for a minute, making sure no other surprises were going to come out and attack us. But then I looked up as I heard a noise, and suddenly the walls began to close in...

"Can't we have a peaceful life?!" Darrina yelled.
Scout bit her lip and continued working on the door. Come on, come on...
Leia had grabbed hold of an old pipe laying in the sludgepit and was struggling to maneuver it between the two walls. Darrina glanced over at Scout. "Whatever you're doing, hurry it up!" she shouted above the grinding noise.
Scout shook her head. "I can't do it!"
Luke fumbled for his comlink. "Threepio! Artoo! Can you hear me?"

I kept trying to find something to hold the wall for a few minutes to give Artoo time to try to shut the walls down, but nothing would. These walls were strong, and normally despite trying to lay low I would use the Force, but not even that could push back these steel walls, they were too strong and I doubted, after how much power we had already used up in the detention center rescuing Leia, blasting controls and Stormtroopers, and everything else that Scout's and my own Force Power combined could stop these walls.
Luke kept shouting into the comlink, but Artoo and Threepio wouldn't answer. "Frack." I muttered in anger

"I know you guys are there!" Scout shouted over her shoulder. She gave the large metal durasteel door an impressive right-hook, and turned out, shaking out her thrbbing hand and looking for something that would stop the wall's contraction. She should have been able to do this, but for the past six months she had been stationed on a ship feeding background data to Mon Mothma, and hadn't been able to keep her skills sharp. Still, she had to try.
She leaned on one of the walls and pushed, opening the small hole in her mind where she knew the Force was at. It filled her up with rejuvenating warmth, ready to do her bidding... She pushed harder, adding the Force to the equation. Both walls slowed, but she couldn't stop them without knowing where the main power was. The only other option would be to somehow climb through the vent, but she highly doubted that would be possible.
"Get those droids online!" Scout snapped at Luke. "Hurry!"

Luke kept shouting for the droids, but still no response. The walls were getting closer and closer to smashing us all to pieces, and still no Threepio or Artoo. Where the HELL are those damn robots?! I screamed mentally
I took a minute to not focus on stalling the walls as they closed in, and closed my eyes, and reached out to the control room above our docking bay, to see if they were still in there. I could detect some Stormtroopers in there, and wanted to groan outloud.
There's nothing in there. It is empty and fine. I thought and sent the thoughts into their minds, and as it touched them, they turned and trudged out
I smirked, and opened my eyes. Soon Threepio's voice was heard over the comlink.
