These Are Not The Droids You're Looking For

Chapter 3 - Bespin

Admiral Barker paces in front of Bob and Doug who were the only ones to survive the vicious rebel attack. In Command Center Delta the computers beep and boop while others read the screens and do important things like play high definition video games like Pong.

Admiral Barker addresses the two, "I have heard of your exploits on Hoth. It is too bad that Trooper Mackie did not pull through. The food poisoning was unfortunate. Anyway let's not dwell on deceased clones. We can always have more developed. Your exploits have reached the ears of Lord Vadar. We're to rendezvous with the Star Destroyer Executor where you will join the crew of Lord Vadar's ship. He is in pursuit of rebels that escaped from Hoth and are headed toward the planet Bespin. Do not disappoint Lord Vadar. Those who do so have a very short lifespan."

Bob leaves the command center saying, "Bespin, Bespin, Tespin, Deadspin, Bowling Pin, Bespin, Crespin, Tire Spin, Bees Pin, Pesbin, Pessbin, Bespin, Backspin."

Doug interrupts him, "What are you doing sir?"

"Oh nothing, or maybe everything. I'm in training."

Bob continues in this manner for several hours until they reach the planet. Bob stares out of the sole window in their room on the Enigma. He says, "Oooo so pretty. This planet must be amazing at the surface."

Doug says, "It's a gas giant. There is no surface. At least not one you would want to see."

"But I do want to see it! We should go down there."

"Sir the hurricanes at the surface would spin you endlessly if not rip you apart. Do you remember the last time you spun yourself around rapidly?"

"Of course I do! It was such fun and the children laughed."

"You projectile vomitted all over the children and they ran screaming in horror. You fell down breaking your wrist after that, and then yelled out 'Bantha Fart Tornado!' as if that explained what you were doing."

"Ah yes. Good times. If that is what it is going to be like then we should definitely go to the surface."

"We would have to get permission to go from one of the Admirals or Lord Vadar himself. They would be unlikely to give permission. Perhaps after the war sir?"

"What if there are rebels hiding there, waiting to strike at the Empire? We must investigate Doug!"

"Sir, do you really think that Lord Vadar would not be able to sense if this were a rebel trap?"

Bob sighs, "You're right. We should find a transport going to the Executor."

The intercom announces, "Lord Vadar has requested your presence at Cloud City. Report to your transport immediately."

Bob bounces on his toes. "No rest for a sith master of the farce! Let's go! Maybe we'll get to see some action!"
