A Day After The Completion Of The Death Star
Senator Bail Organa of Alderaan stood on the asteroid named Polis Massa. He stroked his small beard as Obi-Wan Kenobi entered the room.
"I took a break to come visit," he told Bail as he nodded his head. "How is it going on Alderaan?"
"I was only there to drop off Breha and Leia. In any other case I don't know how it is except there is a political rally because Fang Zar is under arrest for trying to start a rebellion. Palpatine's police got him. Who knows what happened to Zar."
"Palpatine will probably have him executed on such an account."
"Or probably already did."
"True," Kenobi began. "The force has been disrupted terribly by this war. Who will stand true for the force? Who will just stand true?"
"I will," Organa answered.
"One man can not bring down a Galactic Empire."
"He can try."
C-3PO and R2-D2 walked through the ship. They were being brought to Alderaan to stay with the Organa's and to help around the world with technical issues.
"I do believe that since we are on our way to Alderaan," 3PO said as he and R2 went through the rooms in the white ship. "We will truly have a home. I hate space travel. Never liked it as far as I remember.
R2 beeped back a response. Only droids would understand what R2 would say because R2 only spoke droid, but could understand many languages like 3PO.
"I used to like to fly?" 3PO questioned. "You liar."
R2 responded with more beeps.
"Pish posh."
R2 continued to beep and beep.
"I don't believe you."
Finally R2 gave up and continued to roll down the hall as 3PO walked. Both were droids and 3PO was like a human except he was gold. R2 was blue and white and had a dome as a head.
They continued down the hall passing officers who worked as the crew on the ship. They passed Thomas Bronze and others that they didn't recognize.
"What are you two doing?" Bronze asked.
"Exploring," 3PO answered.
"Don't get into trouble."
"No, sir." 3PO looked at R2. "I believe he was talking to you especially."
"Have you heard from Yoda?" Bail asked as he and Obi-Wan made there way down the station on Polis Massa's surface hall.
"Nothing," Kenobi answered. "I hope he is okay."
"I believe he is trying to be safe."
"I hope."
"Master Yoda knows what he is doing, I can assure you of that."
"Maybe you are right."
"Don't worry. I am sure he is okay."
"You are right. I shouldn't panic."
They came to a solid metal door. Bail put his hand on a keypad and said his name verifying that it was him. The blast door opened and he and Obi-Wan continued down into the next hall after going down steps.
"How is Luke?"
"Beru and Owen Lars are taking good care of him. And Leia?"
"The same."
The station shook and then stopped. Then it started again and stopped. Bail and Obi-Wan started into a run and ran down to the main control room.
"What the heck is going on?" Bail asked.
"Sir," Henry Lavender began. "We are either being attacked or are running into another asteroid field. We are not exactly sure."
"Keep an eye out," Bail replied.
Bail and Obi-Wan exited the room. They started toward the dining room where they were going to have dinner.
"The Emperor knows where you are?" Kenobi asked.
"Not that I know of," Bail answered. "But I don't know. Palpatine has eyes everywhere. A scout may have spotted us at one point, but there aren't many bases on asteroids."
"It is a suspicious place of sorts."
"Indeed."
The station shook again and then there was an explosion. Henry Lavender ran up to them and yelled, "Asteroid field! Hold on!"
The base shook violently for the next twenty minutes. Fire alarms went off and people ran past Bail and Kenobi. It finally stopped.
"Does that happen often?" Kenobi asked.
"No," Bail replied. "Enough of that. Let's eat."
