Chapter six.
"A battering Ram Cannon,"
Finn looks away from the scanners with a sigh, Aurora looks down at BB-8 as he beeps between her and Poe.
"A what- now?" Poe asks.
"Miniaturised Death Star tech," Finn explains with a shake of his head and a defeated sigh, "It'll crack that door open like an egg."
Poe shares a look with Aurora as BB-8 beeps again. Rose looks around the hanger, "There has to be a back way out of here, right?"
"BB-8 says this is the only way in or out," Aurora answers.
A rattle echoes through the hanger as everyone looks defeated, BB-8 whistles sadly as Aurora kneels down beside him, placing a hand on his side with a small smile. Poe looks down at them, watching as BB-8 rolls into Aurora's side.
"Come on," Finn breaks the silence, everyone looking over at him, "We have allies, people believe in Leia. They will get out message, they will come. But we have to buy time, we gotta take out that cannon."
Poe smiled, looking down at Aurora who mirrored his cheeky smile. She stands, everyone looking at her as she places her hands on her hip with a small shrug, "Don't look at me, start getting those skim speeders ready, they are our only way of transportation."
Everyone moved, people rushing around as Leia smirked at her daughter. Aurora patted Finn on the shoulder as she passed, "Great speech by the way."
"I just came to me," Finn replies as he walked along side her, "Like I have hope."
"You doing good Finn, maybe you should be the Resistance Inspirational speaker,"
"Maybe I should,"
Aurora laughs as she walks ahead and Finn suddenly stops, calling out to her, "Was that sarcasm? Aurora! I feel like that was sarcasm, was it sarcasm?"

"If this doesn't work, I will cry."
"I will be joining you,"
Aurora shares a smile with Rose. She was sat in the piolet seat of her skim speeder, between Rose and Poe. Aurora places on her headset, flicking on the switch to her engine a few times, dust spluttering out the thrusters. She looks over her shoulder at C-3PO who is now covered in ashy dust as BB-8 beeps hectically.
"This can't be how I die," Aurora mutters to herself as she turns back to the controls.
"Ground forces incoming,"
"Copy that," Poe replies, "On our way."
The hatch opened, the skim speeders come rushing down, hitting the ground this a thud. Aurora hears something clutter in the back making her shuffle nervously in her seat before turning up the thrusters.
