The Last Ambush

In the middle of town, in front of Falu's city hall, three stormtroopers are guarding a man in binders and keeping the growing crowd in check. The troopers you've been following march their prisoner to the same location and give the man a quick smack on the back of the knees, forcing him into a kneeling position next to the other prisoner.

On the steps of city hall stands an imperial officer looking over a datapad while a heavyset man in robes chatters away in his ear. The officer is clearly annoyed with the robed man and continues to do his best to ignore him. The heavyset man looks over the crowd and starts to smile as he addresses them.

"My fellow citizens. Today, thanks to my own careful and harrowing investigation, I have identified the terrorists known as the Falu Four!"

Taking a careful look at the man you instantly recognize him as Grewhit Gen, the owner of GHG Heavy Industries.

"And today we will see, first hand, how terrorists are dealt with!"

The two stormtroopers that you had followed to the center of town get a glance from Imperial officer standing next to Grewhit and immediately head off. With the two troopers in Bast's sight and the three guarding the prisoners you'll soon have five troopers and an Imperial officer in the immediate area.

As soon as Grewhit has had his say the Imperial officer grabs him by the arm and directs his attention to the datapad in his possession. It appears they may be having a bit of an argument.

"It proves that the Empire can get away with whatever they choose… or that money talks" comes a response to Xin's query. The elderly man whom Xin found within the crowd shakes his head slowly. "Grewhit will stop at nothing to remove his enemies."
