The Final Battle: Part 5
Ahsoka and Tanya climbed out of the vent and jumped into the rafters, above the database. Droids were busy checking monitors to see how the battle inside and outside of the station was going. Ahsoka checked her wrist com timer. "And the distraction should be right about," Ahsoka said, holding up a finger. "Now." A huge explosion shook the station and knocked several droids off of their feet.
"What was that?" a man shouted. He had deathly pale, wrinkled skin, with hallowed, black eyes, and white, frizzy hair that stuck out every which way, giving him a deranged look.
"The Jedi have broken through our main defenses and are heading toward the reactor room, sir," the commanding droid responded.
"Useless droids!" the doctor roared. "Send all available units to stop the Jedi from advancing. Close all the blast doors and put all security measures into affect."
"Yes, sir," the commanding droid.
"I'm going to the security room to get a better look at the situation. Let no one near the computer. If anything gets near the computer, shoot it on sight," the man instructed.
"Yes, sir, Doctor Caust." Tanya tightened her grip on the rafter at the sound of his name. Ahsoka noticed this and assumed Tanya somehow knew Doctor Caust. Ahsoka wanted to ask but she decided that now was not the best time to do so. Doctor Caust and a few other droids went through a side door that led to the security room, while the remaining droids stayed to watch the base. Most were sent outside to stand guard, with only half a dozen left inside the room. Tanya motioned to get Ahsoka's attention.
There's not that many droids in the room. If we can distract them, then we may never get a better chance to get the Seperatist's information, Tanya told Ahsoka through the Force.
Ahsoka looked at the small number of droids before nodding.
What did you have in mind? Ahsoka asked.
Tanya smiled. I have a few ideas.
