Rowintha throws him his blaster and holster. Tam straps it on, glad to feel the familiar weight tugging at his hips. “Hull and I will get started on the droid.” Nali explains, “Everyone, stay alert.”No sooner does Tam look at the security console when he sees the cargo elevator indicator flash. It’s on its way back down. Tam punches in a stop command, but the console prompts for authorization. Tam cancels the command and pulls up maintenance menu attempting to slice the console when the roof top door burst open. Heavy stormtroopers pour out. Kaldo and Toth fire into the first couple through the door. Dropping one, injuring another. The troopers respond with autofire. Kaldo ducks behind cover. Blaster bolts burning into the durasteel. He ventures a glance. Rowintha tears into action smashing through two troopers with her force pike, getting tagged in the process. The Wookie shrugs off the wound, standing her ground.Two troopers attempt to flank Toth, forcing him to take cover. He tries to fire back, keeping the trooper from Nali, Hull, and the droid, but a frag grenade sails by his head. He drops to the ground flattening himself as best he can. The grenade explodes and the Bothan feels a stinging sensation in his back and legs. He wills himself back up, snapping off another shot, dropping another stormtrooper.More stormtroopers pour up the stairs. Kaldo tries to keep them busy, drawing more attention, barely escaping the red tracers of blaster fire.Tam ignores the fire fight, he’s accessed the elevator maintenance controls and is about to send the stop command when he hears Nali scream.Three troopers rush forward, firing wildly at the team trying to harness the droid to the microcable. Hull is hit squarely in the chest. He falls to the ground. Nali goes to his side, only to get hit herself, her body falling on top of his.Tam punches in the stop command and runs to his allies’ side. He fires into the fray when he hears the elevator moving again. “We need to get out of here.” Kaldo yells to Tam.Tam couldn’t agree more. “You got an idea?”The conversation is cut short when the elevator door opens and Tam is staring down another squad of stormstroopers. Behind them an Imperial Security Bureau agent slowly claps, applauding the resourcefulness of the would-be rebels.“You’ve put up a good fight, but now you have no choice but to surrender.” The ISB agent says arrogantly. “I have two more squads on the way, and if necessary, I can call in all the stormtroopers on every Star Destroyer in the system.”Reluctantly and a bit angrily, one by one, the crew of the Vagrant Heart surrender.</blockquote>
