Re: Episode 1: The Search for Luke Skywalker Begins
The Duros' voice goes over the comm channel, staticky but clear: "In my line of business, we don't ask questions that might get us into more trouble than the cargo's worth. I suggest you mind your business, fly the fighter and leave my business out of it, especially over the airwaves, rookie." With that the comm-chatter is cut short, and the Black Comet slowly rises from the ground and expertly exits the hanger, rising through the Coruscanti night.
Not far behind, Tehrk manages to follow, though less smoothly, leaving Tervax to figure things out on his own. The Mando manages to get the fighter off the ground and pushes a little more speed from her until he finally catches up with Tehrk's six.
Pugwis' voice comes over the Comm again, "Coruscant Port Authority, launch permit Alpha - three - Bravo - Niner - Niner - Two - Fife; main vessel and two escorts waiting authorization to leave the planet's gravity well, over."
"Alpha - Tree - Bravo - Niner - Niner - Two - Fife; this is Coruscant Port Authority," came the controler's voice in response a few heartbeats later. "Please correct your heading by OH-Fife degrees, and remain at your current altitude, over."
"Coruscant Port Authority; this is Alpha - Tree - Bravo - Niner - Niner - Two - Fife," Pugwis responded, "correcting heading by "OH-Fife degrees, maintaining altitude over."
Several minutes go by, and those of you in the Comet see the impatient Duros drumming his fingers on his pilot chair. His red eyes meet Chemosh's and they narrow slightly. The meaning was clear, 'this stunt of yours had better work.' The look is short lived however, and the Port Authority crackles an answer: "Alpha - Tree - Bravo - Niner - Niner - Two - Fife; you are clear to leave, Coruscant Port Authority, out."
Not needing to be told twice, Pugwis gives the command to head for the stars...
