"Ok, let's hope we don't have anymore trouble like that," Jared said. "We were lucky this thing was able to fend off those TIEs back there."

"Yeah," Loryn said. They looked at the snoring Lars. "Just like a smuggler."

"Ease up off of him some, alright?" Jared said. "He is taking us to Hoth, right? Loryn, I've been taking care of you since you were orphaned. Not all smugglers are bad. Some just act that way. "

"Sure," Loryn said. "Just like the ones that killed my parents."

"Loryn, I'm your uncle," Jared said. "I remember the day you were brought to me. You were barely old to dress yourself. You didn't really realize what had happened at first. But, you were a smart girl. You figured it out. And you're a smart girl now. You should know that not all people can be grouped together so easily. Do you think the Rebellion is bad?"

"No, but--"

"Well, the Empire thinks so," Jared continued. "Loyalists to the Empire think the Rebellion is a bad thing."

"Well, it's time to make the next jump," Jared said.

"Where's the next exit point?"

"Luckily, it's just empty space," Jared replied.

"Good," Loryn said.

Jared typed in the hyperspace coordinates and entered hyperspace. A few minutes later, they exited.

Right into an area with an Imperial checkpoint that wasn't suppose to be there.
