Disclaimer: Same as always.
Notes: This is here by the grace of Pepsi, and Jennifer's encouragement (nagging really).
Dedication: To all of my reviewers. If it weren't for your encouragement and reviews, I'd probably still be on chapter 2. Thanks everybody!
The Jedi Shelter, while small, did not feel cramped. The halls were fairly narrow, but tall, accommodating all almost every species. The small rooms were made to seem larger by not being overly furnished. The two small messhalls had high ceilings with table spread out, creating the illusionof space. The main lecture hall was the largest room in the whole installation, and was still only a quarter the size of the Frand Audience Chamber in the temple on Yavin 4.
Condensed down into a simpler format, all this meant was there was a myriad of places to sabotage. At least that's all it meant to the Traitor.
The Traitor had gone around the base and studied it while everyone else slept. The Traitor had broken into Master Solusar's office and downloaded a full schematic of the base into a datapad. After several inquiries, the Traitor had learned that Jaina Solo was always the first to go check on her X-wing in the mornings. The Traitor had placed a low yield proximity mine in the corridor leading from Solo's quarters to Docking Bay Three, hoping to catch her in the blast. As luck, or the Force, would have it, Jag Fel walked right into that little trap.
Not that it bothers me any, the Traitor thought. It threw Solo off kilter, making it wasier for my next stike against her to succeed.
The Traitor glanced around at its surroundings, making sure that no one else was in the corridor. It was not a full day after Jag had triggered the mine. All of the debris in the hall had been cleared, and a temporary wall and ceiling had been erected.
The Traitor smirked and continued down the corridor to its original destination. At this early hour, no one was up and about, but still the Traitor was cautious, and it was slow going. Soon, though, the Traitor entered Docking Bay Three, home to Twin Suns Squadron. Seeing Jaina Solo's X-Wing sitting in the middle of the stained florr, the Traitor smiled.
Walking quickly over to the gleaming snubfighter, the Traitor pulled a creature out of its pocket. The creature was of Yuuzhan Vong origin, and the Traitor had been well versed on how to use it.
The Traitor clambered up the side of the X-wing and crouched just aft of the astromech station. The Traitor felt along the edges of the hole until it found what it wanted: the astromech data plug-in. Shifting so as not to fall, the Traitor reached in with both hands and secured the creature over the plug-in.
Its job done, the Traitor slid down the side of the X-wing and crouched on the ground, making sure its work had gone unnoticed. Satisfied that no one had seen it, the Traitor hurried back to its quarters. The Traitor entered its small room, hoping not to wake its roommate. Sliding back into bed, the Traitor sighed in relief. The room's other occupant was sound asleep and hadn't even stirred when the Traitor entered.
Nothing can go wrong now, the Traitor thought. And if it does, it's not my fault. The Traitor slipped into unconsciousness with thoughts of Jaina Solo's death forefront in its mind.
Soon.
Notes: I hope this tides you over until later. I typed the whole chapter, which is a lot longer, up last night, but when I tried to upload it, there was nothing there. So Chapter 10 is short, and Chapter 11 will be a little longer. I just didn't feel like typing it all up right now. I should have the next chapter up later today sometime. Oh, and don't forget to leave me a comment or two! Thanks!!
