During your study of the area around the the statue, you are able to learn several ways that an ambush could be planned. You're now holed up in one of the side buildings around the great square. It has been three days since you first arrived on planet, and hours after you have begun your vigil. The sun slowly begins to sink in the sky, making you wonder if the pirates are actually going to arrive at all. After all, wasn't it mid-day in your vision of the attack?
Then a sonic boom roars in the distance as a massive craft soars through the atmosphere. A nearly deafening explosion reverberates through the city as the ship's laser cannons level a relatively nearby building. The aftermath rattles your teeth, Voda's exoskeleton, and Lorem's bark.
