Abracken's Threat

Colonel Abracken and the Imperial garrison commander are just coming out of the turbolift. The journey was silent from the main entrance, but someone had to finally say something.


"As you can see Colonel, we have a perfect containment block for all prisoners. It is quite easy to detain anyone who gets in the way of our rule here. The hutts, however were not as easy to sway into allowing us to build our outpost here," the commander said explaining the Imperial hold of the system. The Colonel decided to stop just outside the turbolift doors as he was becoming slightly interested and decided to answer.

"Yes, but I have seen the report of your apparent 'failure' in at least securing a position on the nearby moon of Nar Shaddaa. The outbreak of revolution on that world is intolerable and it won't be long before Lord Vader himself decides to take matters into his own hands," he countered, but the commander was not finished yet. However before the Commander could retaliate with another excuse, the Colonel walked on, glimpsing the sight of a stormtrooper standing outside the entrance to a cell.

The Commander walked on following him along with a few stormtroopers and officers behind them not uttering a word.

"The Empire has been trying for years to make a resolve with the hutt clan, but there seems to be no way that they would oblige to Imperial rule. They are naive and incompetent," the Commander said managing to force the Colonel to turn his head and come to an abrupt halt.

"After this then Commander, perhaps you could see to it personally to make another attempt to fully control the system, this time maybe with a larger force. Or do I have to inform Lord Vader about this?"

"Are you threatening me Colonel?" he asked becoming very concerned and stopping. The rest of them once again also halted.

"What, I'm trying to say commander is that, if you won't do something about this situation, then I will get someone that I know I can trust to resolve it," he said attempting to calm down the Commander who was becoming extremely frustrated.

The Colonel shifted slightly out of the way for a pair of stormtroopers who were just transferring a few prisoners, including a wookiee. The commander did not notice as he was trying to concentrate on the fact that Abracken had just threatened not only his career, but possibly his life as well.

"Shall we move on?" Abracken asked.

The Commander hesitated, but then decided to carry on down the prison block without saying anything.

When they finally reached the cell that Han Solo, Chewbacca and multiple other inmates were being held in, Abracken decided to say something.

"Well that was a long journey, perhaps now I can take my precious cargo and leave."

The Commander moved his hand to the control panel and pressed the open button.

The rusty door hissed open, but within it was nothing more than what a standard Lv 2. Base prison cell contained.

The Commander took a look inside and decided to put a smile on his face as he pulled his head out.

"What are you grinning about?"

"Guess what?" he asked enjoying the moment for some strange reason.

"I have no time for your games commander and..." Abracken eyes widened as he took a glance inside the cell.

"Where the hell have the damn prisoners gone!?" he demanded raising his voice high enough to force the Commander to wipe the smile from his face.

"Put all sections on high alert immediately," he ordered another officer behind him.

"Yes sir," he acknowledged pulling out a comm link.

"Commander! I thought you said that your containment facilities were perfect," Abracken said, but decided not to wait for an answer. Instead, he pulled out his blaster.

"Come with me," he ordered a few stormtroopers behind him and they quickly raced off down the cell bank.

"Does this mean I'll be getting that promotion, sir?"

"We'll see Lieutenant. We'll see."


Well that was chapter 3. It didn't take long, but it was kinda rushed. I'll fix those problems later. It might take a little longer to do the next chapter, cos of exams, but I'll get onto it right away.
