Anuvuin: episode #24 Updates & Plans for the Device and The Blockade
Part 2
Previously: Jar Jar Binks was released to Qui-Gon Jinn as part of that life debt thing. Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, and Jar Jar travel through the planet core to the surface. The Jedi have rescued the Queen, and they are now about to head off on their way with Ric Olie as the pilot, but only one problem: the blockade.
Before I go any farther, I’ll have to go back to the Maurders. You haven’t herd about them for a really long time. Yes, The Maurders are in yet another meeting. It’s something they haven’t’ had in a long time. Flabby the Hutt, head of the Cloning Machine Committee, steps forward. Mr. Orange Idiot had already called the meeting to order. “Well, this is the design we finally came up with for The Device. We have finally acquired all the parts for beginning construction on it. We only have to put it together…who knows how long that could take. Years?” Mr. Orange Idiot nods. Then he takes the stand once again. “Well, it appears as if that part of our plan is falling into order.” “The Plan?” someone asked. “Yes, the plan. We will reclaim Dyrnwyn, as well as the entire galaxy itself. The complete plan involves battle, and with battle comes armor, weapons, and ships. We have saved up over the past few years, and we have gotten extra income from the planet Tatooine due to the pod races, gambling, and slaves. We have plans for armor that is uniquely designed from our finest talents. There are also the warships. Now, as you all know, we don’t have many ships. Therefore, the construction of these items could also take years. There is also the question of weapons. We have already started in on the production of all these things. It is also part of the plan that all these things are taken care of at the same time. We must attack immediately upon completion of these projects in order to insure surprise…and to make sure the Republic doesn’t try to stop us. That’s all for now.” And with that, the meeting closes. Now back to the blockade. Everyone is now on the ship. Ric Olie says, “Here comes the blockade…” The Trade Federation ships begin shooting at their ship. Ric Olie does his best to try to avoid being hit, but they get hit. Ric Olie checks to see what happened. “The shield generator’s been hit!” Ric Ole sassy, “I don’t do anything until the power’s back.” He hit the alarm for the R2 units to go and repair the ship. One by one they went up the elevator to try to repair the shield generator. There were emergency lights on now. But the shots keep coming, eliminating droid after droid. “We’re losing droids fast,” says Obi-Wan. But one droid remains. It keeps at it and repairs it, then goes back in. “The power’s back! That little droid did it!” There’s a clear path in front of them, and Ric Olie hits the hyperspace button, but they’re only in lightspeed for about a minute before he realizes something’s very wrong with it. They are out of sight of the Trade Federation, luckily though. Ric Olie makes the announcement, “the hyperdrive’s leaking. Were not going to make it to Coruscant without a repair. We’ll have to land somewhere on the way.” Obi-Wan looks at a computer to try and find somewhere where they could land. “There, Master. Tatooine. There’s no Federation Control there.” “How can you be sure?” asks Captain Panaka. “It’s controlled by the Hutts,” says Qui-Gon. “You can’t take her Royal highness there. The Hutts are gangsters. If they found her, they’d…” “I t would be no different than landing on a planet controlled by the Trade Federation, except the Hutts aren’t’ looking for her,” say Qui-Gon. So Ric Olie sets the course for Tatooine. During the flight they get out the droid that had saved them all. “This little droid no doubt saved the ship as well as our lives,” says queen Amidala. “What is its number?” she asks Captain Panaka. He steps forward to look, “Artoo-Detoo (R2-D2).” “Padmé,” the queen says, “clean this droid up. It deserves our gratitude.” So as Padmé cleans R2-D2 they are rapidly approaching the planet of Tatooine. Until next time!
