[QUOTE="masshysteria, post: 5398302, member: 16055"] Tam is getting anxious. The longer this takes, the greater his chance of getting caught. He straighten his uniform and glances down to the three beings below him. Kaldo has been doing his best to fill in Tam over the din of the prison. "Rowintha, you're going to need to convince this Salvok you're worth adding to his retinue." Tam says, "Make contact with Nali and make sure she's ready to move. I'll start working on a distraction." For Toth distraction is really a synonym for explosion. He races back to the Vagrant Heart after being speaking to Tam over his com link. "Is everything OK?" Asks Xule, when she sees the Bothan enter the ship. "We've found Hull and Nali. Go grab a bag from the hold and some primers. Then meet me back in my quarters." Toth replies. A puzzled look crosses Xule's face, but she's been with the crew long enough to not question the wisdom of odd requests. Xule arrives back at the Bothan's quarters to see him preparing a series of det charges. Toth finishes up, takes the bag and shovels in the explosives. Xule cringes as they clatter together. "I'm going to need you for this next part." The Bothan hands a pass card to an even more nervous princess, "Set!" The Jawa runs into sight swinging his ion gun back and forth and lets loose a string of Jawa. The Threepio voice translates, "My master says he is ready for action." "Good." Toth replies. "Set, the ships is yours. Just don't tear anything apart, we're going to need to get outta here in a hurry." Jawa and more disembodied Threepio, "My master assures you the ship will be in perfect operating condition." "Oh, and do something with those stunned Imps while I'm gone, would you?" Tam stares back at the stromtrooper's helmet, the black areas where the eyes would be. The trooper has been watching Tam since his return from his "inspection" with the bag. The starring contest is broken by the signal that the next mining shift is to begin. The stormtrooper turns to watch the gate rise and the prisoners file out. Tam removes a det charge from the bag and hides it under the computer console. He then walks out onto the catwalk and heads to the next guard tower. Kaldo, Rowintha, Hull, and the rest of the prisoners trek deeper into the mines until the group arrive at their designated work area. Hull and Rowintha reach for the same tool. Hull pushes the Wookie and the Wookie pushes back. Hull pushes harder and Rowintha pushes him into another prisoner. On queue, Kaldo yells, "Fight!" The other prisoners form a circle around around the human and Wookie. They start jeering and cheering as Hull launches into an attack. Rowintha lets a few of the blows graze her before fighting back. The Wookie roars and and start throwing punch after punch. Hull lets them hit him and staggers and falls to the ground. Rowintha roars triumphantly as Hull drags himself away. Kaldo pulls Hull back to his feet as the prisoners go back to work. "Even when she pulls punches, it still hurts." Hull complains as he rubs a shoulder. "Look," Kaldo says and nods as one of Salvok's pit fighters approaches Rowintha. Tam has finished his rounds and is standing out above the pen with the bag resting at his feet when the prisoners return from the mines. Kaldo stops under him and Tam give the bag a nudge. It falls from the catwalk into the Duros' outstretch arms. "Tonight, when the gates open for the night shift." Kaldo says just loud enough for Tam to hear. [/QUOTE]
