Chapter 4, Part 2

*the scene opens with the Danube docking at Timberwolf HQ. Cut to: HQ Interior, Common Room. Sparc is just finishing his report.*

Sparc: So as you can see, we have learned what we need to use the Force, and should be able to use the MacGuffin Stone.

Mick: MacGuffin Stone?

Emma: Gonick's name for the Rakatan artifact we need.

Dagobah: *chuckle*

Marcus: Didn't you mention something about a need to learn how to control these Force powers?

Sparc: Yes, we thought we should do that before going to get the Stone.

Marcus: I'm inclined to agree. There's a training facility for recruits on Bellerophon, you should go there.

Emma: We thought we should do it here.

Marcus: And you'd be right, if I hadn't heard of Gonick's encounter with a boulder back on Ossus. You're going to practice in a place very far from HQ.

Gonick, shuddering slightly: Good idea, boss.

Marcus: Yes, quite. Also, I'd like Zero Time to accompany you, he's a mercenary who happens to dislike Mr. Guido just about as much as we do, so he's working pro bono. He'll meet you at the ship.


Go to Bellerophon now, no time to waste. Chop chop!

*they disperse*

*scene ends*

*new scene opens in the hangar bay, the foursome approaching the runabout, with Zero leaning against the hull*

Zero Time: About time. I thought I'd have to go by myself.

Emma: Yeah, well, we had stuff to do, Rental Boy. We can't all be on our own schedules.

Saganami, aside to Gonick: "Rental Boy"?

Gonick, aside to Saganami: He's a merc. Emma dislikes mercs.

Saganami: Yeah, but "Rental Boy"? And why does she dislike mercs?

Gonick: I don't know. Go ask her.

Emma, loudly: You shrubs coming, or what?

Gonick and Saganami, in chorus: Yes, ma'am!

*they board the ship, and as it jumps into hyperspace, the scene ends*
