"Do as I say Picard, or your crew will be destroyed."
"You're bluffing."
"Very well. You leave me with no other choice." Vader raised his
hand and made a fist. Picard's expression turned to panic as he began to
claw at his throat, trying to remove the invisible hand holding his neck.
Vader tightened his fist, sending Picard to his knees. He then used the
mind trick on Picard, this time getting the desired results. Once he had
what he wanted, he released his hold on him.
At this point Kristen hand no idea what was being said, but she had
felt Vader use a mind trick on the Captain. "Coo ya maya stupa!" She
shouted before slumping further into Wesley's hold.
"What did she say?" Picard asked in confusion. Apparently the
universal translator did not work this time.
"She called you a weak minded fool, Captain." Vader said matter of
factly, "You weren't able to translate it because it is a language called
Huttese popular in the outer-rim of my galaxy."
"Oh. Then get her out of my sight. I don't want anything to do with
that traitor."
"But Captain," Wesley began to protest, "You told her that you would
stand behind her no matter what happens because you think of her as a
daughter."
"That doesn't matter now. She broke my trust by lying to me. How
can we trust someone who has been lying to us their whole life?"
"I guess you have a point." Wesley replied sadly while escorting
Kris away. As soon as they left the room, he felt her stir.
"Did they buy the bait?" She asked weakly, and continued, "Sorry I
didn't tell you about the change of plans."
"It's ok. I personally think you did the right thing by hiding it.
Don't worry I'll play it off."
"You must take me to my quarters so I can get something."
Fifteen minutes later, the pair entered Kristen's quarters. With her
remaining strength, she walked over to her secret compartment. She pulled
it opened and grabbed the remaining objects, one of t hem being her
lightsaber. She secured it to her leg using a washcloth that Wesley had
brought from the bathroom to use for her head. He was watching what she
was doing carefully. "You must take this to the Alliance. There are
directions on how to locate the base on this data pad, that's what I was
doing earlier, down-loading this info. You must tell them what has
happened along with the fact that Vader has me in custody. They will mount
a rescue, so don't worry about me, I'll be fine." She said as she handed
Wesley the data pad. He took it knowing that she had sent the other disk
off already. This way her father would have a copy to find the base as
well.
"Are you ready now? We don't want them to become suspicious."
"Yes, let's go. But remembered once we enter the corridor, we will
be monitored." With that they headed out into the corridor..
