Chapter 3

The Bebop crew stood and looked at each other with puzzlement. There was no such place as Endor, they all thought to themselves.

Jett got back on the communications receiver, "Excuse me, but did you just say 'Endor'?" He inquired, just incase he had misheard.

"Yes sir! Endor!" Han replied back.

"Han, I don't think we should trust these people. They could be spies for the Emperor!" Leia protested at Han.

Han ignored her as he awaited a reply from the Bebop.

"Look Buddy, I'm not in the mood for games. We need help. Like I said, our navigation system is done for. We don't have any idea where we are, but we were headed for Ganymede and the asteroid gate seems to have left us off here!" Jett said becoming more annoyed by the minute.

Ganymede? Asteroid gate? The crew of the Millennium was becoming just as puzzled as the crew of the Bebop.

"C3PO," Han began as he turned to the droid. "Do you know of a place called Ganymede?"

"Captain Solo, I am programmed to know every known planet in over 500,000 star systems. But I am unfamiliar with this Ganymede place they speak of."

"Blip-beep-beep-beeeeeep!" said R2-D2.

"And my counterpart Are-too is unfamiliar as well," C3PO added.

"Great," said Han sarcastically. "Now what are we supposed to do?"

"We must help them," Obi-Wan said calmly, yet thoughtfully. "We must take them with us to the base at Endor."

"Obi-Wan, are you sure?" Leia asked. Although she was still skeptical about helping these strangers, she trusted Obi-Wan's judgment much more than she trusted Han's.

"Yes," Obi-Wan replied. Then turning to Han Solo he said "Han, tell them to follow us to the surface of Endor."

"If you say so," Han answered.

"Obi-Wan, how can you be so sure that we can trust these strangers?" Luke asked.

"We must help them now, so that they may help us later," Obi-Wan replied.

"You mean help us with the rebellion?" Luke asked.

"That is precisely what I mean." Obi-Wan responded. "The force has a strong presence on that ship. But it's a good presence, not an evil one. That's for sure. But as for the origin of this strange ship, I must meditate on that."

On the Bebop, the voice of Han Solo could again be heard, "If you need assistance, follow us to the landing station at Endor. We can have someone take a look at your ship there."

Jett shrugged. "Might as well. What else are we going to do? Without a navigation system in working order we're stuck here," Jett said to Faye and Spike. The both nodded in agreement. He got back on the communication device and said, "Alright Captain Solo. Lead the way!"
