Meetings in secret

[BrianM]

Caden nodded slightly; this wasn't the first such situation the droid and the freighter captain had found themselves in.
"Sam, Brim," he said, "let's get a look at those load lifters before we take on any more cargo, OK? We'll meet you at the ship."

"Right Caden, good idea."

Brim could see nothing in the dark recess of the maintenance hatch indicated by Sam, but he trusted the droid's sensors and knew something was about to happen. Perhaps whoever was there had an accomplice ... someone who could mask themselves from Sam's receptors. The Rodian stretched out his own senses as far as he could.

A clone? Kaida breathed in relief. Then it wasn't the bounty hunter.

Unless... unless the clone was the bounty hunter.

She frowned, and kept close to Britton and Ulric and tried to position herself behind cover as she walked, so she wasn't easily visible from the maintenance shaft in case trouble did break out. Her hand moved surreptitiously to the blaster hidden under on her hip.

Hacks watched as three of the party separated and then disappeared from his view, while the others continued to move towards the docking bay. What had they talked about? Had they seen something to give him, or Shade away?

The clone started to sweat. Since Jasper's death, Hacks had been having a rough time. His solitude had begun pressing in and the clone knew he was beginning to suffer from the genetic sickness that all of his comrades had faced in their old age. He wiped at his brow. Where was Shade and that bounty hunter? The weight of his blaster hung on his shoulder. If those people got into the docking bay, all his preparations would be for nothing. His hands shook. His mind questioned. Where was Jasper? No... Shade. Why did Jasper have to die? Why did they all have to die?

He acted.

Upon arrival on Jovan the day prior, Hacks and his incredible electronic skill had gotten busy. He had set a series of small charges in the ceiling. The first was to blow a thermal transfer pipe - the one that the repair crews now worked on to fix. The intended goal was to reduce the amount of traffic to bay 12D, which it had. After the charges were set, Hacks had sliced into the station's security system and he had reprogrammed the environmental integrity controls for docking bay 12D. From his armband computerlink, the clone activated his trap causing the system to believe that the environemental shield to 12D had just failed and the bay was decompressing. This had the effect to cause the massive steel door to roll closed sealing the bay from the passage. At the same time, the computerlink triggered the other two explosives at either end of the passage. These were larger and when they blew, it caused huge pipes and structural plates to tumble down from above. The concussive wave of hot air; the terrible sound of metal tearing; and the fireball that blew out from the corridor had the affect of causing the Jovan citizens and visitors to run in panic.

In the passage, the party members were knocked from their feet and stunned by all of the sound, light, and concussive pressure wave. The two hover skids that the maintenance crew worked upon were blown out of the air as the two-story high scaffold began to tumble down. Screams could barely be heard over all else, as the companions tried to compose themselves and get back to their feet.

Hacks, protected as he was in his maintenance alley, swung his blaster off his shoulder and moved to the entrance. He scanned the smoke filled passage, his trooper helmet electronically aiding him, for all those that he and his partner had coded terminate.
