Darth Vader took a long, deep breath and studied the large crate that had been placed before him.
It looked ordinary to him. It was a large crate, and whatever was in it must've been of at least some value, since Vader could see that it had many locks.
Still, there nothing special about, as far as he could tell anyway. But his master, Emperor Palpatine, said it was crucial in their quest of destroying the Rebel Allience, once and for all.
"Master", said Vader. "May I trouble you with a question?".
"Certainly, Lord Vader", said Palpatine softly. "What is it?".
Vader decided to get to the point right away.
"What is so unique about this crate, my master?", he asked.
Palpatine's lips curled, the way they did whenever something especially evil had come to his mind, which was quite often.
"Ah, Lord Vader", he said. "This crate is crucial in our quest to destroy the Rebel Allience, once and for all!".
"I know that, my master", said Darth Vader. He paused and took a deep breath. "But that doesn't answer my question!".
"And you'll learn the answer soon enough!", Palpatine snapped. "Now, I've told you what to do with this crate! No more questions from you!".
Vader could tell that Palpatine wouldn't give him the answer, and that there was no point in asking him again.
"Forgive me, my master", said Darth Vader. "Now, on the subject of what to do with your secret weapon, I am wondering how I am to get it past Captain Solo".
"That idoit pilot?", said Palpatine, sounding disgusting. "You're actually worried about him? Be at peace, Lord Vader. He will give you no trouble".
Palpatine's lips curled once more.
"I would assume that you are not worried that he will just toss it off of his ship the moment he sees it, my master?", said Vader.
"Not one little bit", said Palpatine, his lips still curled. "He's far too stupid to even take notice of such a thing!".
"If you say so, my master", said Darth Vader. "So, when do you want me to do it?".
Palpatine's lips were curled wider than ever.
"Now", he said.
And with that, four Stormtroopers marched in, picked up the crate, and walked away with it in their arms.
"You will lead them to Han Solo's ship", said Palpatine. "And you will make sure that they get it on there safely".
"As you wish", said Lord Vader.
"And remember", said Palpatine. "Whatever happens, make sure that the crate remains shut when you put it on the ship!".
"Yes, master", replied Lord Vader, and he went off to do as he was ordered.
