How did Luke let himself be convinced into doing this?
As Luke marched through the imperial base he could not help but wonder that. Not only was he wearing an imperial uniform but he was also following an imperial officer who had been kind enough to show the 'rookie'where the data center is. The officer had apparently been waiting for him and had already yelled at him for being late.
Luke had let him, if the imperial thought he was some new rookie who needed to pick up some files Luke would not destroy that dream. No he thanked his luck for once. He also thanked Lenny for giving him an easy way into the base, but now he had to find those so called weapon files and get out of here before anyone would notice he was here.
While following the officer Luke noticed something odd. Most of the halls were empty, but when they did come across a hall with other imperials it looked like they were all panicking, that can't be because of him right? Luke wanted to ask but feared it might raise suspicion if he did, so he bit his tongue. That was until a strong feeling of dread filled his stomach, causing him to need to ask.
Luke took a deep breath "S-sir? Why does everyone seem to be on edge?" he asked cursing himself for stuttering. The officer turned around and glared at him. "I'm not surprised you don't know, seeing as you are so incompetent that you can't even find the data center!" The officer bellowed at him making Luke wince. "Darth Vader is coming for an inspection." He growled as he turned away from Luke and started walking again.
Luke gulped, understanding why he felt this hesitant, Darth Vader... The emperors guard dog. Oh this was bad, he regretted taking Lenny his deal now. Just the name Vader gave him goosebumps, he could not imagine what would happen if he were to actually meet him.
"Boy! Hurry up! I have got more important matters to attend to!" The officer bellowed at him making Luke snap out of his thoughts and follow him. The man shook his head as they entered the data center. "Friendly piece of advice Boy, hurry up and get out of here before lord Vader arrives." The officer told him and left to go attend to his own business. "Count on it." Luke mumbled when the officer was gone and went to the computer to look up the files.
He was going to be out of here before Vader arrived, he had to be, something told him he had to be out off there when Vader arrived. With that thought Luke continued his search through the files.
After what felt like an hour Luke finally located the files and transferred them onto a disk and hid it in his imperial jacket. Luke sighed, relieved that he had gotten the files and went to leave the data center until his greatest fear came true. "Darth Vader has arrived, everyone be on your best behavior." Came the message through the communicator located in the data center. Taking off in a sprint, Luke ran for what felt like his life, hoping to reach the exit before it was too late.
To say lord Vader was agitated was an understatement. He had felt the boy enter the base from his shuttle, his doubts and fear betraying his intentions. He was there to steal something from the base, something of value although he could not identify what. Now that would just agitate him, but the admiral who oversees the base was not answering his comlink, thus preventing Vader from giving the order to lock down the base.
Now as he left the shuttle he went straight for said admiral, ready to break his neck. "Admiral, you incompetence has led to a leak in your security, I order you to lock down the base and arrest anyone that seems suspicious." Vader ordered before the admiral could even welcome him. The man became as pale as a clone troopers armor and nodded, giving the order to lock down the base. Vader cursed under his mask as he felt the force presence of the boy start to fade away, he was leaving.
Vader growled and took off into the direction he felt the force presence came from. This boy would not get away from him, he would see to that.
