Episode I:
Alex: *relaxes on couch in the back of her starship* So, Luke, do you know where they're headed?
Luke: *nods* Yes, I checked their target before they made the jump.
Alex: *smiles* Sweet! Can you put the coordinates into the nav system, please?
Luke: *nods* Sure! *wanders off to the control panel*
Alex: *waits patiently*
Anakin: *dutifully repairs R4 who was hit by a stormtrooper*
Luke: *calls back* We're all set for making the jump into hyperspace! Are you ready?
Alex: Yes! Wait! No! *hurries to the controls* I think it would be best if we switched on the cloaking device first. *flicks switch* Okay, I believe we're good to go now! *smiles at Luke*
Luke: *smiles and nods* *presses button*
*They jump to hyperspace*
*Luke, Alex and Anakin relax, discuss tactics and play games while waiting to come out of hyperspace*
Alex: *glances at chrono* We should be almost there. Let's get ready.
*They head to their positions*
*Ship comes out of hyperspace*
Alex: *looks at viewscreen and notices that there are no starships in sight* Good, we came out far enough away to not be seen. *fiddles with some dials and presses some buttons* *scans area for Bri's starship* *locates ship* *presses buzzer on belt* *waits patiently* *buzzer buzzes back* *speaks to Luke and Anakin via comlink* I've located the ship a fair way out.
Luke: Is it safe to go yet?
Alex: No.
Anakin: Damn. I was hoping for a bit of action.
Alex: Anakin, we've been through this before. We are not going to blow their ship up.
Anakin: No, I agree. It's not the Jedi way. But who's to say we can't just mess with it a bit, maybe blow up their hyperdrive generator or fry their circuiting?
Alex: Anakin.
Anakin: Okay, okay! I was just kidding!
Alex: *sarcastically* Sure you were. *buzzer buzzes twice* Is the starfighter ready Luke?
Luke: All prepped.
Alex: Okay, Anakin, let's make our way down to the docking bay.
Anakin: Copy that.
Alex: *walks down to the docking bay, arriving at the same time as Anakin*
Anakin: *climbs into the cockpit*
Luke: *gestures towards the passenger compartment* After you.
Alex: Thanks, Luke. *Smiles* *Climbs in*
Luke: *follows*
Anakin: Everybody ready?
Alex and Luke: Yep!
Anakin: *Takes off through the opening and heads in the direction of Bri's ship* You're sure they won't detect us?
Alex: Positive. This ship has the highest security system.
Anakin: Why does that not reassure me?
Alex: Well, it should, because this is one of the most high-tech stealth ships in the galaxy.
Anakin: Right.
Alex: We won't be detected.
Anakin: Sure. Would you like to bet on that? Winner gets 5000 credits.
Alex: *glares* You're on. I will win this one.
Anakin: That'll be a first.
Alex: Shut up!
Anakin: Yes, ma'am.
*Ship draws closer*
Alex: See, what did I tell you? We're basically at their doorstep and they haven't noticed us.
Anakin: *fiddles with switches* Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but they've taken over our controls and are now guiding us in. So much for your security system. It looks like I'm about to be 5000 credits richer.
Alex: *Ignores the last comment* This is all part of the plan. Don't worry.
Anakin: *huffs* Whatever.
*Ships draws in to docking bay* *lands safely*
Anakin: *clambers out* *pulls out lightsaber*
Luke: *does the same*
Alex: *follows but does not draw lightsaber*
Luke: There's no one here.
Anakin: Well, what did you expect? A welcome party?
Luke: No.
Anakin: *turns to Alex* You know, your plan has probably backfired and now they're going to gas us or blow us up or something.
Alex: Hush. Why are you always so pessimistic?
Anakin: I'm not –
*blast doors open* *Obi-Wan rushes in*
Alex: *runs to meet him*
Obi-Wan: *pulls Alex into a tight embrace*
Alex: I've missed you.
Obi-Wan: I've missed you too. But there's no time. She's unconscious but I don't know how long for.
Alex: I understand.
*They start making preparations*
Alex: How'd you do it?
Obi-Wan: Knock her unconscious? Well, when she was checking some of the power stats, Chewie bumped into her. He was originally going to drug her but he bumped her a little too hard and she fell and whacked her head. There's a lovely massive lump on her head now, right between the eyes. *Smiles reminiscently*
Alex: *laughs* I see. Where is she now?
Obi-Wan: Locked in the sleeping quarters.
*They move out into the hallway and encounter Chewie, Han, R2 and C3PO*
*Alex, Luke and Anakin greet everyone*
Han: So where are we going?
Alex: Away from here. Let's go!
*They move quickly back to the docking bay*
Alex: *hesitates* Umm… I don't think there's enough room for everyone… Unless we stuff the droids in the cargo hold… But I don't think they'd appreciate that.
R2: *Whistles*
Alex: *Thinking quickly* Anakin, I want you to sabotage our ship. Disable the controls, destroy the cloaking device, shields, weapons and security system. I then want you to program a hyperdrive course to some distant planet on the other side of the galaxy. Make sure we can control the ship through this one and set the hyperdrive so that it will fry when it comes out of the jump.
Anakin: *nods* *gets to work*
Alex: Han, Chewie, start unpacking the cargo hold. In there you'll find a whole set of dummies. Set them up in the cockpit and passenger seats but leave one space free.
Han and Chewie: *get to work*
Alex: Obi-Wan, let's go get Bri.
Obi-Wan: *nods*
*They rush out the door and hurry to the sleeping quarters*
Alex: I can't feel her presence. She must still be asleep.
Obi-Wan: I agree. *Opens door* *Picks up the unconscious Bri*
Alex: I see what you mean about the bump. It's humongous!
*They rush back to the ship*
Alex: How's it going, Anakin?
Anakin: *checks over the ship quickly* All done!
Obi-Wan: *Shoves Bri into passenger seat next to the dummies*
*Ship seals*
*Everyone moves through the blast doors which close behind them*
Anakin: *rushes to control panel* Okay. Starfighter is now exiting the docking bay. Ship clear for the jump. *turns to Alex* Would you like the honours?
Alex: Definitely. *presses button*
*Starfighter jumps to lightspeed*
Alex: Let's get back to our starship. I don't like the feel of this one.
*Everyone murmurs agreement*
*They head back to the starship, send the captured ship off into space and detonate it*
In the living quarters once safely on a new course:
Anakin: You owe me 5000 credits.
Alex: Do not!
Anakin: You said we wouldn't be detected.
Alex: And we weren't.
Anakin: Yes, we were. Obi-Wan detected us and took over our controls so that he could guide us in. So technically you lost the bet. Now hand over the money.
Alex: What?! That's so unfair. *Slaps Anakin on the arm* I did not lose the bet. Obi-Wan knew the code to override the system. He knew we were coming.
Anakin: Yes, but technically –
Alex: I don't care about technically! I'm not giving you the money!
Anakin: Whatever, you're just a sore loser.
Alex: Deal with it. *leaves the room* *finds Obi-Wan in her private sleeping quarters* Hey there! *Smiles*
Obi-Wan: *Smiles* *Gets up and hugs Alex* What took you so long?
Alex: Nothing, just fighting over a bet with Anakin.
Obi-Wan: You lost again, didn't you?
Alex: No, I didn't! He –
Obi-Wan: *laughs* I'm just messing with you. Come on, it's late. *Climbs into bed*
Alex: *sighs* *Gets into bed and snuggles next to Obi-Wan* Why do I always lose?
Obi-Wan: *laughs*
