Vector to Infinity

"Oh....R6......that Dark One really took the stuffing out of me."



He blurbed his concerns

 

"No....I'm alright." I said as I tried to stand

 

The ground tugged at me, and I decided that I was not alright

 

I dropped to my knees, told R6 to mind the fort, and went into a deep Force-trance

 

"Let the Force....flow through you." I heard Yoda's voice say over and over

 

Seemingly, an eternity passed, but when I came to, it was only late evening

 

"Is the camp secure, R6?"

 

*Bleurp* he replied

 

He also acknowledged the ship was refueled

 

"Thank you, R6." I willed myself to my feet

 

The poison was neutralized, but I was in no shape for combat

 

I crawled into the cockpit, and strapped in, R6 already in-place

 

I fired up the converters and headed back home

 

We had just ascended into a low orbit, and were heading out when I noticed the haziness I'd seen before on the scope

 

In front of us, a ship I'd never seen before unclaoked

 

The ship remotely resembled a Star Destroyer, but was quite a bit smaller

 

I swung the X-Wing over to avoid hitting the vessel, but it turned with me, and a timed torp rocked us

 

I threw the throttles into 'military', and the X pulsed away quickly

 

But it was less than a minute, and the mysterious vessel reappeared on the scope

 

"It's no wonder these buggers have been unstoppable, R6!"

 

"Dark Ones, droidekas, hover-tank squadrons, this thing....what next!?"

 

As if to answer my question, two more torps closed in on us

 

They moved in unison with the X-Wing

 

"DAMN it!!! Trackers!"

 

"R6, if the old girls' got anything left, we need it right NOW!!!"
