Trials of Loyalty

Chapter 12

The Seventh Sister's POV

The ship entered the Lothal system. I alerted Ezra, who was still in the ships common room.

Ezra came into the cockpit as I touched down on the planet's surface. "Where to?" I asked.

"The bar. Joe can send this to the Ghost."

《~》

The bar came into view as we rounded the corner. But what we saw was not what we expected.

It was the Ghost ship.

"What is your crew doing here?" I asked Ezra.

"I don't know! I have been with you the last few days! How am I supposed to know?" Ezra asked me.

"This is going to complicate things."

"You don't think I see that?"

"Let's go in through the back."

《~》

I followed Ezra through the back door, into a small storage room. It was deserted, and the smell of alcohol filled the air.

"What now? We can't exactly talk to him while the rebels are out there," I asked Ezra.

"We have to come up with another diversion."

"Another one of your ideas?"

"Yes. I hope you don't have a problem with that."

"Just get on with it!"

"We just need to get on the Ghost."

《~》

I looked around as Ezra punched in the code to board the Ghost. "Got it!" Ezra exclaimed.

The ramp slowly opened. "Still got those droids?" Ezra asked me.

"Yes," I replied. "You will finally tell me what you plan to use them for?"

"Chopper is probably in there. He also probably heard the ramp open. He will try to connect Hera to say someone is trying to enter the Ghost. Send your droids in and disable him," Ezra explained.

I pressed a button on my wrist pad and two of my droids flew into the ship. We followed behind them as they search for the droid. We found Chopper in the common room and we quickly disabled him.

"Now what?" I asked.

"Hijack the com system?" Ezra suggested.

"You didn't have anything planned after disabling the droid?"

"Not really, no."

"Uhh, just get to the cockpit!"

He led me to where the cockpit was located and I automatically sat at the pilot's chair and activated the com. "Which frequency is the bar?" I asked.

Ezra scrambled behind the cockpit's chair with a buch of control panels. "I am connecting you now. You have to talk to Joe and send him the information. I believe you will know what to do from there."

I nodded and turned back to the com. A bright blue hologram now illuminated in front of me. I reconized the bar keeper instantly, and he seemed to reconize me. He started to turn back. "Wait!" I exclaimed. Luckily, he stayed where he was. "I have information for you to give to the rebels. Don't tell them where you got it. And don't tell them about this conversation. I am sending the data now."

I switched the transmission off and looked back to Ezra. "Our work together is done. We are enemies yet again," I said coolly.

"Fine, but-"

Ezra was interupted by one of my droids coming in. I instantly heard what it had beeped, and so had Ezra.

The Empire had arrived.

I quickly turned the sent the records of communications to the Imperial ship. "We were never together," I said before running out of the ship, leaving Ezra behind.
