“ Good job, Chewie “ congratulated the young woman, only semi aware of the danger that lurked. She didn’t think that they’d give up easily, but the mass of ships that had accrued at the end of the asteroid field, that was indeed a bit s u r p r i s i n g. Rey swallowed the lump in her throat, the fear she felt from before coming back now and sloshing around in the pit of her stomach. The Falcon was pretty fast, fourte–er, Han had said twelve parsecs, now that she recalled the information in the back of her mind. Would that be enough to get away, she wondered.
The ex scavenger weighed her options in the darkness of the ship as they came upon the end of the field, Chewbacca was frantic in the front, but Rey had politely asked him to let her think. Were it anyone else, he’d probably have given her a middle finger or something, but maybe she knew what it was she was doing. Rey wished that were the case, realizing that Han Solo’s luck may very well have not been her own in these recent times. It seemed like everything in the galaxy was trying to keep her from escaping this fate.
And then an idea struck her. If she surrendered herself, she could get onto the other ship and find out how to destroy it. The Stormtroopers were weak in mind, so the moment she was left alone, her plan would commence. Not wanting to have her mind probed again, however, Rey opted for that plan to be a last resort, which it looked like may be her only choice at this point. If she tried to escape or even jump into hyperspace, those ships would fire and with the amount of them, they could do some pretty decent damage to the Falcon. Oh she could hear it now.
“ You did WHAT to my ship? “
“ Chewie, move aside, I’m taking over. “
- If only, Mr. Solo. No one tells you the odds.
I miss you..we all do.
“ Chewie, listen carefully…I have a plan.. “
What a surprise that the other did not like her plan. He had called it stupid, brainless, somewhat arrogant. Did he not realize there wasn’t much choice? Right, he’d been with Han Solo before her. They could keep running or she could be a grown up and face her fears. Sure, it wasn’t the most favorable choice, but it was hers and she would stick to it, like Luke had taught her. Plus it seemed the best way for as few people to get hurt, ie. none, as possible.
“ Inform Ren that I’m willing to surrender myself, on a few conditions, of course. “
Chewbacca had unwillingly tapped into the enemy’s comm signals and was broadcasting a radio transmission of sorts. If this didn’t get their attention, nothing would.
“ The first is that if I do, the Falcon goes free and no harm will come to it. The second is that of my copilot. No one is to harm him either. Meet these conditions, and I will surrender myself. “
- Han, I’m afraid…Master Luke, my head is spinning…
what should I do? What if I can’t go through with this..?
