The Redemption of Revan
Chapter 2: Crash and Burn—Part 2
Carth's voice rang through Mara's comlink. "This is Carth Onasi on your comlink. I'm tracking you through the Spire's life support system. Bastila's escape pod is away. You're the last surviving crew member on the Spire. I can't wait for you much longer! You have to make it to the escape pods! But be careful, there is a whole squadron of Sith soldiers nearby! You have to sneak by them." Carth said.
Mara turned on her stealth field generator and snuck through the hall ways and killed the Sith squad. When she opened the door behind the dead commander, she was face to face with 35 year old soldier in a battered, orange flight jacket. He had slicked back, brown hair with one strand fallen in front of his face. He was beginning to get crow's feet on the outside corners of his eyes.
"You made it just in time! There is only one active escape pod left, we can use it and hide out on the planet below." Carth said.
"How do I know that I can trust you?" Mara replied.
"I'm a soldier with the Republic, like you. We're the last two crew members left on the Spire. Bastila's escape pod is already gone, there is no reason for us to stay behind and get shot by the Sith. Now c'mon! There will be time for questions later!" Carth exclaimed.
Mara and Carth ran to the escape pod and climbed in. Carth punched in a few commands and the pod jettisoned from the ship and Carth looked out the escape pod window. "Well, the damage doesn't look so bad from out—". Just as he said that the Spire exploded. Mara bashed her head against the wall in result of the blast. She was out cold.
The pod entered Taris' atmosphere and rocketed down into Upper Taris. When the pod cooled down, Carth carried Mara's body out and into an apartment complex. He rushed her into an abandoned apartment and laid her down on the bed. A red spot formed on the bed's pillow and Carth found that her head was bleeding really bad. He took out his survival kit and sewed up the wound crudely. "It will have to do for now, until we find a doctor," he thought to himself.
