Ozzel replies that Dr. Orran, head of the project, has been less than cooperative of late and that additional means are being employed to ensure that the doctor's duties are fulfilled.Rokuu arrives on the bridge, and Adm. Ozzel advises the Rodian bounty hunter that his fee is now doubled to 50,000 credits, and that the time table has been moved up to five days.  Rokuu demonstrates suspicion at this increase in fee, but explains that he has the mark well within his grasp...Beedo and Weer await Major Brightway in the mountains outside Kor Vella, and their commander arrives in his personal ship, the Dantari Star.  Luckily, their staging area is well away from the abandoned Imperial satellite station, and thus, the Rebels remain unnoticed.  They hike up the hill toward the station, and as they close in, a ship drops out of the sky and lands within the base complex.  Beedo recognizes the ship as the Bloodhunter, personal ship of the Rodian bounty hunter Rokuu, who also happens to be Beedo's cousin!Cautiously approaching his cousin, Beedo announces himself and the nearby thugs of course draw weapons and prepare to fire.  Rokuu recognizes his cousin and invites Beedo into the camp.  The two cousins chat for a little bit, and meanwhile, Maj. Brightway and Vort Weer circle the camp and find cover, expecting trouble.  Rokuu tells Beedo he has some business to do, and mentions a 50,000 credit mark inside the satellite station.  The bounty hunter orders his hired thugs to prepare Andina for transport and, looking around cautiously, draws his carbine and fires into the bushes at the hiding Brightway and Weer!The firefight was on, with Weer and Brightway doing battle with the bounty hunter Rokuu and his swooper gang thugs.  Though the thugs do not prove to be mugh trouble, Rokuu gives the heroes more than they can handle.  Beedo sneaks into position and stuns the bounty hunter, giving Brightway and Weer time to regroup.  Beedo picks up his cousin's carbine and opens up on the remaining thugs outside the station, while Brightway steals inside the base to recover his wife.The Major, using his signature poison darts, takes out most of the thugs inside the base without much trouble, but eventually takes one too many stun shots and drops.  Outside, Rokuu recovers and pulls another weapon, attacking his cousin and knocking Beedo unconscious, and retrieves his carbine.  Weer tries to fight the bounty hunter, but thugs emerge from the base with Andina on a hoversled and cannot stop them all.  Rokuu loads his mark board the Bloodhunter and, realizing that the fight was over, Weer awakens Beedo and Brightway, alerting them to the transpiring events.  Major Brightway activates the remote on the Dantari Star, causing the ship to ready for takeoff.  The three Rebels speed down the mountainside and quickly board the Dantari Star just as the Bloodhunter rockets toward the upper atmosphere.Brightway's ship gives chase, but the Bloodhunter, in all ways a faster ship, keeps getting farther and farther away.  As a last-ditch move, Weer hits the Bloodhunter with a tracking device, and the bounty hunter's ship jumps to hyperspace, bound for parts unknown...The Rebels know that they can find Rokuu and his captive, but will need help doing so.  More questions than answers now.  Why was there a bounty on Andina Brightway? And why 50,00 credits, more than 12 times the going rate for a Rebel agent of her level?  Where was Rokuu taking Mrs. Brightway, and to whom?  Answers would be forthcoming soon...</blockquote>
