Part 2: The Bacta Run

Jack tries to hide his surprise, and in a last-ditch attempt, works up some strength in his voice to say, "Good timing, men, you can arrest the traitor, Jcor."

The trooper gestures with his rifle, "Drop the blaster, sir."

Another trooper runs past him and searches the room. Upon finding J'cor, he examines him and announces, "He's unconscious, but uninjured."

After Jack drops his weapon, the trooper reaches down to help him up, while another trooper collects the blaster. The first trooper orders, "You two, stand guard here and comm in if you see or hear anything." The two selected nod and salute, holding their blaster rifles at the ready. The other four form a guard around Jack as they escort him back to the warehouse proper, where Doc greets him with a nod.

The officer nods brusquely and gestures to Bo and the mechanic standing beside her, "Pick out a box from each batch and pile them by loading bay C."

He turns to the troopers accompanying Jack and demands, "Report."

The lead trooper responds, "Captain J'cor is unconscious, sir."

The officer raises an eyebrow and looks at Jack.

One of the troopers steps forward, "Sir, Commondar J'cor's blaster was set to kill." She hands over two blasters to the officer, who turns them over thoughtfully.

He turns to Doc, "The Commander has been acting secretive lately, working odd hours and communicating directly with workers rather than going through the chain of command. Knowing that you were coming tonight, I decided it would be best if he was not the only one here to show you around. It looks as though I was right." He hands J'cor's blaster back to the trooper, and tosses the other to Jack.

He straightens his jacket, "Now, which crates were they?"

The officer walks over to the crates and gestures to the mechanic to join him. He calls over his shoulder, "Get back on duty, and someone turn that blasted alarm off." The troopers salute and half of them jog off toward the open bay door. The rest scatter inside the warehouse, aside from two that follow the officer. One of them says, "Sir, there was one other thing. Several doors in the compound are on lockdown...and we didn't do that."
