Maen called for C3PO, who entered the ship. Together, they did what they did before on... that other planet (I should ask the Doctor what it was called), and we left. Although I did see some Jedi's looking at the ship in contempt. Understandable, I suppose, since we just convinced them to fight back, while we leave the planet ourselves. The irony then struck me, that those who were supposed to maintain order were the ones causing chaos. It made me wonder what it must be like for a corrupt cop, or any given politician, as they too would need some kind of justification for what they do.
Our ship flew towards what looked like a parking lot for spaceships. Of course that wouldn't be the right way to describe it, seeing as being parked would mean for them to be standing still, and they were neither standing, or being still, but headed for us. Darth Vader himself wasn't on the ship (which I suppose was for the best, or else C3PO would have gone nuts over his presence), so I assumed he had gone to one of these ships, alerted the troops to leave us be, and let us pass. Since me made it through this armada without any one of them even raising guns to shoot us, I would think it safe to assume that this was what Vader did indeed.
"My, are we lucky they can't see us." C3PO said.
"Where are we supposed to go?" the Doctor asked.
"Knowing Vader, we'll know it when we see it." Luke answered.
Once we got passed the ships, I saw what Luke meant by that. The ship, if it should be called that, looked like a circular object, with a pit going through it, with lots of lights. If I didn't know any better, I would say it looked like a black hole.
"Of course!" this somehow made sense to the Doctor, "Vader would need a machine like that to communicate with his droids, or the rest of the galaxy."
"Why?" I asked, "What's so special about this?"
"Does it look like a black hole to you?" the Doctor asked.
Did he read my mind? I shook the thought away: "Yes?"
"Well it works according to the same principle." the Doctor explained, "But rather than sucking things in, it sends thing out."
"Like signals for the droids." I thought out loud.
"So destroy that, and the droids would have no more power?" Maen said.
"Theoretically, yes." the Doctor answered, "Unfortunately, we still need it."
"You do?" C3PO wondered, "How could you possibly need it? It's the cause of all our problems. I would be glad if it..."
Maen did something to C3PO's neck, which somehow stopped him from talking.
"What did you just do?" I asked.
"I shut him down." Maen replied, dryly, "He was getting on my nerves."
If she would so readily to that to an android, I hate to think what she might do to an organic being.
