Chapter 9: The Surprise
"Yes, if you are from the New Republic, I have information
for you, the people of Alderaan are not dead."
Han started, "what did you
say."
"Exactly what I meant, see I
was chief weapons adviser to His Highness Bail Organa, and they had planned for
the Empire having a super weapon aimed at Alderaan, too many people in the
Imperial Hierarchy hated Bail. The information about how to find them, is
locked in my head, there was a Jedi on Alderaan, he put up defenses so the
Empire couldn't get the information, and told me, only another Jedi, or
force-capable person could get this information, and they too would have to be
on the light side."
"All right, Ma'am, will you
please join my friend and I on his ship where I will try to get this
information, so we can see the people of Alderaan, and since Han actually won
this planet to be a substitute for Alderaan, the people will have a planet. But
first we must free all the other people."
"One quick question, is
Princess Leia Organa still around."
Han grinned, "Yup."
The woman also came and helped Luke
and Han set everyone free.
"All right." Luke said,
"you know this means I will be in your mind, I will try not to, but I may
hear some of your secrets."
"That is all right." The
lady, whose name was Salie, said.
They got down to work breaking the wall
in Salie's mind after all the shuttles arrived from Coruscant. It took about 10
minutes to break, because whoever the Jedi was, had put a strong hold on the
information.
"Got it," Luke said at
last, "the code to finding the ship is 4AAA. and the crest of Alderaan is
needed to command the ship."
"That was a safety feature to
prevent traitors from handing the ship to the Empire, or giving up." Salie
said, "Only someone from the outside can command the ship. that to with
the code."
Han punched the code into the
computer. "Found it." he called.
"Its by Tatooine." Luke
said.
Han groaned, "So I guess we
have got to go to Tatooine."
"Salie, would you like to
accompany us, or would u like to go to Coruscant and talk with the Alderaanian
council."
"Probably, the Alderaanian
council because we need to put a system of government in place for all these
people."
"All right," Luke
hesitated, "but could you please ask Threkin, and the other Alderaanian
council members not to mention this to Leia."
"Okay, this planet is supposed to be a surprise for her, huh, I will keep in touch with you, and thanks." Salie said, as she climbed onto the shuttle.
