Dar Alixia and his sister are finished packing and wait by their quarters for several minutes with no sign of Klara. They decide to go and find her. They arrive at Klara's door. Dar rings the bell and waits.

Klara wipes a tear from her eye, and tucks the musicbox carefully away in the duffel. "Come in".

Dar is the first to enter the room.
Dar: We were waiting for you near our quarters as planned, but you didn't show up. So 'sis' and I decided to look for you. Is everything alright?

Klara tried to hide the fact that she had been crying. "Just fine. *Sniff* Has everyone boarded the transports?"

Dar notices that his superior office's face is wet, but he doesn't say anything.
Dar: Yes Ma'am. We're the only ones not aboard yet. Oh, by the way, we have some good news... Senator Calista Staten has decided to help us in the rescue mission, she and her staff are waiting in a diplomatic shuttle in orbit.

"Ah, yes....", Klara said. "I didn't think that the Vulpanians would help us in our rescue attempt, even after our friendship...."

Dar: They know the risks, but they are willing to do their part. Calista was almost arrested as well, but she was cleared just like Senator Organa was. She is willing to put her life on the line to save her friend.

Smiling, Klara looked out her window again. "The Republic may not exist in the Senate, Alixia.... But it still lives within those who are willing to die to protect it.
There was a sudden beep on her wrist communicator. "Yes?"
Cryn's voice answered back. "We have a problem, Klara.... Get down to the launch bay, right away...."

They heard Cryn exhale deeply as he continued. "It's General Limms, Klara.... He's ordering us to return to our stations...."
Klara jerked her head with a start. "Limms!", she said angrily. The General had always opposed Klara's dissenting views on the Empire, being as conservative as he was. He had constantly delayed her complaints from ever reaching the High Command, and discouraged those under her command from acting on their political views, and now he was meddling with their rescue attempt!
"This may turn into a firefight, Captain", Cryn said. "He's already contacted the Empire, and two Star Destroyers are on their way from the Badgek Fleet Yards...." Klara's eyes opened wide. "Meet us at Lift D, Cryn, and bring as many as you can with you.... Arm yourselves, if you can!"
She cut off the communicator, and went towards the door. "Now is the time, people.... Let's go."

Dar and Jani follow Klara and have their sidearms at the ready.
Jani: That bastard Limms! We should have delt with him when we had the chance!

Klara shot a look at them astonished. "Dealt with him? He IS still one of us, Jani.... If we were to murder everyone that opposed our views, we would be no better than the Empire, itself. Limms has made a choice to unwaveringly serve the Emperor. I only regret that it is the wrong choice...."

Jani: I'm not talking about killing him! I'm talking about exiling him from the planet!

Klara shook his head. "Our voices would have never been heard, he's too influential. Rebellion is the only way. If the people decide to rebel, they will exile him and all the other Imperials on this planet...." She walked a few steps, condsidering. "If the Empire doesn't seize control, first...."

((Marcus said you guys need a person to play Stormies in Binary's absence, like a month ago... sorry for showing up late.))
In the hall outside Klara's door, the sound of Armored foot steps can be heard clammering towards the room. A squad of Clone Troopers, in the new Phase Three Armor system, round the corner, heading for the door to her quarters.
Sergeant: This is the room! Go Go Go!
((Just letting you know in case you don't, Phase Three is modern Stormtrooper armor, so they probably wouldn't have seen it before.))

As the door opens, Klara, Dar and Jani are faced by stormtroopers.
Jani: Oh Grak...
Dar raises his antique badgenese slugthrower pistol, but is knocked to the ground by a stormtrooper before he can pull the trigger. The imp trooper grabs hold of the weapon and frees it from Dar's grip.

Klara stormed out onto the scene. Helping Dar up, she angrily glared at the Stormtroopers in the hanger. "What is the meaning of this?!", she spat, knowing full well the answer. She saw the shape of Limms in the backround, his hand firmly grasping Cryn's shoulder.

The stormtroopers stood aside as the General steped up pass their ranks, grasping Cryn in one hand, an Imperial Issue blaster in the other...
"I can't believe that one of my own would attempt to thwart the plans of our glourious new Emperor... But what can I expect from a group of troublemakers like you..."

Jani spits on the General's uniform as she gets to her feet.
