I woke up to the sound of ewok hunting trumpets. "They must have found me!" I worry! Quickly, I grab my supplies and run for the hangar bay. Stunned I stop at the doorway to see what looks like an ocean of furry bodies between me and the supply ship! "I'm dead," I think. "Well, I can take out a lot of them first!" I pull out my Z-6 rotary canon, power it on, and fire into the boundless sea of malicious ewoks. They realize I am here, and start charging at me, hunting horns blowing. Quickly, I grab a grenade and chuck it into the bloodthirsty horde.  As I activate the noise-canceler in my helmet, I see a flash of fire, and a shockwave nearly nocks me down. I keep firing into the crowd of ewoks, but there are to many! I run back to the armory I found on my first exploration of the base, and shoot the control panel. Instantly, the blast doors slam shut, trapping me in here. I sigh in relief, only to turn around and see 5 pairs of malicious evil eyes staring at me. I quickly grab my pistol, and fire off 4 shots. I see 4 evil bodies fall, dead. The last remaining ewok jumps at me! I barely pull my pistol around and fire before he lands on me. I brace myself, waiting for pain, only to realize I shot him before he got to me. I sigh in relief. I'm safe for now. I hear banging on the blast door, but I know they will never break through. I decide to get some rest, ready to escape this base in the morning.
