EXT. (BORRIKO) - SPACE

The modified Munificent-Class Star Frigate and the Mon Calamari Star Cruiser are parallel to one another in space.

CUT TO:

INT. MON CALAMARI STAR CRUISER HANGAR - SPACE

FINN, REY, ROSE TICO, and AFTAB ACKBAR stand together in the hangar, they're still looking out at the Munificent-Class Star Frigate. CAPTAIN MAZMELL is still on the hangar communications terminal speaking with GENERAL VOBTIR. The Mon Calamari Star Cruiser begins to shake, and then lock in place.

AFTAB ACKBAR
Agh, what was that?

ROSE TICO
Tractor beam... We're locked on.

REY
It's coming from that ship.

CAPTAIN MAZMELL
A frigate holding on to a ship
this size? How is that possible?

GENERAL VOBTIR (O.S.)
With our engines shut down, we're
not putting up much of a fight.

CUT TO:

EXT. (BORRIKO) - SPACE

The modified Munificent-Class Star Frigate extends out its docking tube. The end of the docking tube is fitted with a drill as well as four long rods which are laser gate generators. The docking tube activates and drills into the Mon Calamari Star Cruiser. The four long rods extend out from the docking tube and the laser gate activates keeping oxygen from escaping the ship.

CUT TO:

INT. MON CALAMARI STAR CRUISER HANGAR - SPACE

The sound of the drilling echoes through the halls.

CAPTAIN MAZMELL
They've attached.

REY walks over to CAPTAIN MAZMELL at the communications terminal.

REY
General Vobtir, can you redirect
power from the generator back to
the engines?

GENERAL VOBTIR (O.S.)
I can get to the engine room and
do it, but the ion cannon on the
planet still needs to be
destroyed.

REY looks over at ROSE TICO and FINN.

REY
Rose, Finn, can you and Poe get
down the planet and take out the
ion cannon?

FINN
We can do it, but we don't know
where it is.

GENERAL VOBTIR (O.S.)
I'm sending coordinates of the
planetary ion cannon's general
whereabouts to your ship. They're
based on where the blast came
from.

FINN
We'll get down there, but Rey,
what are you going to be doing?

REY
Someone has to disconnect the
ships.

ROSE TICO
You're going to board that thing?

REY
Yes. BB-8.

BB-8
Be-boop?

REY
Will you help me?

BB-8 looks down, at first he is unsure of himself but he looks back up at REY and agrees.

BB-8
Beep beep!

REY
Alright then, let's get going.
