He can count four of them. Two at the gate, two behind the security walls. Toth settles his aim on one of the gate guards, the one manning the e-web. Tam sits on a speederbike, in the gully next to Toth, watching the skies.Meanwhile, the Vagrant Heart circles Roon in a near orbit. Kaldo checks the scope. He’s approaching the preprogrammed nav point. “Hang on” Kaldo shouts over the comm pushes the Vagrant Heart into a suicide dive. Rowintha looks up the ladder to Xule sitting in the other gunner’s chair. Xule looks nervous. The Wookie roars some encouragement and hopes the princess is a good shot.“There’s our sign.” Says Tam. A red-orange streak burns through the atmosphere heading straight towards Faynor’s compound.Toth lets the air escape from this lungs, he draws even pressure along the trigger. A red lance pierces the air. Toth doesn’t bother to follow his shot, he leaps to the back of the speeder bike as Tam guns the engines.The duo flies at breakneck speed at the compound gate. Overhead, the Vagrant Heart makes an attack run, knocking out Faynor’s comm array and blasting the guards patrolling the ground. Tam reaches down adjusting the repulsor lift controls. The speeder bike nearly drags on the ground, then leaps in the air and over the gate. The remaining panicked gate guard can do little to stop them.The speeder bike comes to halt at Faynor’s door just as three more guards exit a security outbuilding, among them a heavy set Rodian. The Rodian is Keelo, Faynor’s slave raid leader, he levels his carbine at Toth and fires. The blaster bolt smashed into Toth’s shoulder, dropping him off the speeder bike to the ground.In her turret, Rowintha sees Toth fall. She roars in anger and swings the turret around, opening up on the cluster of guards. Only a crater remains where the guards once stood.Tam rushes to Toth’s side, slapping a medpack on the Bothan’s wounded shoulder. Toth opens his eye’s to see Tam over him and the Vagrant Heart setting down in Faynor’s front yard. With the aid administered, Tam offers his hand to his wounded comrade. Toth brushes it off preferring to get up on his own. He takes a deep breath, stands up straight, and meets Tam and Rowintha at the front door.“Faynor!” Tam yells at the security console, “You have four seconds to open this door and hand over a bottle of Chateau ’77.”Tam waits four seconds.“Toth, Rowintha, open the door.” He orders.“Can’t,” comes the Bothan’s reply over the clatter of a Wookie slamming her fists against a door, “This is a hardened security door, only the right key card can open it.”“So, where’s the key card?”“Keelo was supposed to carry one, but he’s just a big pile of goo right now.”Tam walks over the goo. He nudges it with his toe. “Kaldo, make us a door.”The new docking gun pops out of the bottom of the Vagrant Heart and swivels over to point at the door. When the dust clears, Tam, Toth, and Rowintha walk through the hole in the wall into an entryway. At the far end of the entryway is another hardened security door. In unison, they turn around. Toth raises an eyebrow at Tam. Tam shrugs and shouts, “Again!”</blockquote>
