Chapter 7: Surprise

Chapter 7: Surprise

Aboard the USS Enterprise, Han Solo wandered through the corridors of the starship aimlessly, searching for the shuttlebay. He had been told by Luke and Chewie that there was a surprise to be seen about the Millenium Falcon, but what it was he was yet to find out.

They'd better not have messed up my ship he thought to himself as he found he walked into yet another identical curved corridor.

When he had been first allowed outside of sickbay, he found himself immediately thrust into a world which seemed more busy than even Mos Eisley on Tatooine. The busling corridors of men and women in uniform seemed to be more suited to an Imperial Star Destroyer, yet the relatively soft padded walls and carpets looked as if it were more a cruise ship. It was even more unfamiliar that he saw people talking to the ship's computer, rather than using personal droids and even some fraternizing with each other. Yet, despite the fact that these people were always friendly and outgoing, he had a sense that they had just come out of a very destructive conflict, and now they seemed to be upset that another one was taking place.

As he walked down what he felt was the same corridor for the 3rd time, he spotted an alien officer with a red collar walking down in front of him. From what he had gathered, this meant that the officer was responsible for command functions on the ship, and as he thought on the spot, he realised he was the perfect person to ask as to how to get to the shuttlebay.

"Excuse me Mister, but could you please tell me how to get to the shuttlebay?" he asked.

"I was just going there myself." the officer replied with a very terse tone to his voice, almost as if he was forcing himself to be polite despite it being against his species' instinct. "You are Captain Solo, correct?"

"Han will do just fine." Han answered. "And you are?"

"Commander Worf, First Officer. I have heard a great deal about you in the past few days."

"Oh have you now?" Jokingly questioned Han. "What's Chewie been saying behind my back?"

"Your crew mates consider you to be an honourable warrior, and from what I have heard, I agree." He answered. "They also say you are what my human colleagues would call a 'smuggler'."

"I was a smuggler, until the Empire occupied Tatooine." Explained Han. "From then on, I worked with Obi-Wan and Luke to try to free the planet."

"Interesting. And why did you join them?"

"Simple, the Empire was disrupting my business, and I joined them so I could get back to it."

They rounded a corner and finally reached the closed doors to the shuttlebay.

"Do you know what they've done to my ship?" Han asked before he walked into the door.

"From what I have heard, they have made your ship better equipped and have repaired several defects in the vessel, although I have not checked on their progress for a while." Worf answered.

"Ok then, here goes nothing." Was all Han said before he stepped through the door. Was lay on the other side shocker him.

The Falcon had been transformed into a thing of beauty. Gone were the rough surface details and missing panels, replaced with soft curves and a new shiny grey paint job, similar to that of other Starfleet vessels. The wedge remained at the front, however, two holes had been cut on each of the front projections above the missile launchers, for what Han presumed to be even more weapons. Furthermore, he couldn't see any sort of sensor dish on the top of the ship, however, a small circle extruded from the top, which housed what he presumed to be a dish similar to that he had seen on the Enterprise.
