We'd heard stories about what had happened to the bases the New Republic
discovered. They'd come and set fire to the base. Anyone attempting to flee
would be shot and afterwards, they'd send a proton torpedo to make sure nothing survived. Of course, that raises the question: If nothing survives,
how do we know? -Personal Log of Lt. Zimel
"Sir," the youthful comm officer called. "They're trying to send a transmission."
General Dalpiez's eyebrows raised as he moved over to the comm station. "How long?"
"Judging by the change in the pitch of the jamming, sir, it was a recorded message of very short length, but enough to tell where we are." Zimel knew what could have resulted if the message had gotten through. All the order he had worked so hard for would be gone, all his training and everything else he had devoted his life to would be rapidly cooling space junk. The New Republic fleet would come and pound the base to smithereens, leaving nothing, not even a blank datapad.
"Good work, lieutenant," the general said, his voice distinctly distracted. To the security officer on duty, he commanded, "Have a security detail meet me in the landing bay. I'm going to go visit our guests."
