I hadn't made the Bail connection either, but it's cool. We'd love to see what happens next!

Sorry for keeping you waiting! The weekend gets hectic, but finally here's another post. I'm sorry, this one is pretty short, but I promise the next one is going to be really long so it all works out in the wash. happy

Here you go......


Malcolm and Xavier stood in the dark cavern, both looking up at the frozen man in uncertainty. Xavier had been right, the cave had been a veritable gold mine of goodies. Malcolm guessed that they were looting what was once the primary residence of a clan of Tuskan Raiders. There were the tell-tale gaffi sticks and abandoned sand masks. There were also piles upon piles of what were now considered dated Imperial weaponry and old uniforms. Xavier had also pointed out to Malcolm that in the back corner there appeared to be larger remains of the same ship they had uncovered a few days before. "Why, I bet we could practically rebuild the ship ourselves," he had exclaimed excitedly to the older man.

Malcolm smiled in satisfaction, while he wouldn't exactly go *that* far, there was certainly a great deal of worth now packed into their land speeder. He just hoped it was enough to finally get them passage off this desolate planet. They would find out soon enough, but right now the two men paused in indecision as they studied the stony apparition.

"What do you think we should do?" Xavier asked softly, as if worried that he might actually disturb the man frozen before them. "Do we leave him?"

He watched Malcolm closely, trying to gage what the older man was thinking. Personally, he was all for leaving the man right where they had found him. As they had spent the last couple of hours pillaging the abandoned dwelling it had felt as if the man's presence hovered over them. Xavier had felt watched, as if the stony eyes were staring down and casting judgement on them. And that expression. It looked so pained, so *anguished*. It gave Xavier the creeps if he was going to be perfectly honest about it.

Malcolm crossed his arms and peered up at the slab of carbonite with an inquisitive glare. His brain and his conscience were working overtime. "You checked out those life readings before?"

"Yes, sir."

"And they said he was alive?"

"Well according to them, yes-but they could be inaccurate..." Xavier swallowed, he could see where his boss's thoughts were heading. "And who knows how old that equipment is."

Malcolm sighed grudgingly. "Well....." He ran a frustrated hand across his chin, "if there's even a possibility that this poor sap is still alive, then I wouldn't feel right just leaving him."

"B-but sir, we don't even know who he is-" Xavier's mind was reeling, "he-he could be an Imp for all we know!"

Malcolm just shook his head in resignation as he looked down at the dusty floor of the cavern. His brain had been defeated by his conscience yet again. "Just wouldn't be right," he muttered softly to himself. And aside from that, there was something about that metallic face that tugged on his memory. But he couldn't figure out what it was.

"And what if this is his stuff? And he tries to demand it back from us?" Xavier seemed unrelenting in his arguing.

Malcolm chuckeled softly at this and gestured up at the carbon statue, "does this guy look like he's about to demand *anything* from us? Look at him for Emperor's sake!"

"I know," Xavier answered softly, his shoulders sagging with defeat, "but I...."

"But nothing," Malcolm returned sharply, "now let's load him up. We're taking him with us and that's the end of it."


*to be continued....*


Yeah, I know. Short. The next one will be longer. Happy Superbowl Sunday! (go giants!)

happy

EDIT: I should learn to use a spellcheck, jeez....

A post! Yay! And a good one, another small cliff to hang from- never mind the length. Quantity is no reflection of quality. :-)
