The night was cold and wet but humid. Typical of the Corellian shipyards. Nervous and pacing, Fel stood by the shipyard terminal, waiting on a call. Her brown eyes scouted the area and spotted a fellow CorSec officer on their patrol walking away from her position, but the officer stopped. They turned toward Fel.<br/><br/>"Captain Charey? Is there something wrong with the terminal? Do you need assistance?"<br/><br/>"No," said Fel. "It's fine. The terminal glitched when I walked by, but it seems all right now."<br/><br/>The CorSec officer nodded. "Very good," he said with a chuckle. "Most officers I know would have just called maintenance. Nice to see you can get your hands dirty, ma'am."<br/><br/>"Glad to do it. I was a trainee once, Lt. …."<br/><br/>"Lt. Ghasten, ma'am."<br/><br/>Fel saluted the Lieutenant. "Thank you for your due diligence, Ghasten. You may go back to your patrol."<br/><br/>The Lieutenant saluted his superior and turned away. Fel remained by the terminal as her call finally came in.<br/><br/>"Fel? Are you ready?"<br/><br/>Captain Charey watched as Ghasten rounded a stack of crates and walked out of sight.<br/><br/>"I'm here," she whispered. "Are you sure this gizmo will work?"<br/><br/>"It's passed every test we've made," the voice over her earpiece replied.<br/><br/>"Tests? You haven't used it on anything in the field?" Fel began to panic.<br/><br/>"No, but it will work."<br/><br/>"If it doesn't, I'm dead. They'll do to me what they did to Lyra."<br/><br/>"We won't let that happen."<br/><br/>Fel sighed and entered a code into the terminal. Next, she placed a modified scramble key onto the terminal and let the device do its magic.<br/><br/>"Captain Charey? What's going on here?" a voice called out. Fel spun around to find Ghasten standing only a few feet away. "Is the terminal still – Is that a scramble key?" The CorSec aimed his CDEF carbine at the captain. "Hands over your head. I need to call this in."<br/><br/>Fel raised her hands. Her carbine was still in its holster; she had no choice but to comply. Then again, she was dead anyway. As the CorSec LT started the call, she whipped out her blaster. Ghasten gasped at the sheer audacity. Both fired simultaneously. Fel got it in the arm. Ghasten fell to the ground. Dead. The scramble key blinked green.<br/><br/>Captain Charey grabbed the key and dragged the body behind a stack of crates. Then, she began walking to the provided speeder as if nothing had happened. Once on the ship, she would transfer the information to a holodisk and get off Corellia. The planet was a dismal rock full of pollution, poverty, and crime, but it was home. It was her home until the Empire came. Finally, Charey neared the M-68 landspeeder. Almost home free, she thought.<br/><br/>"Stop!" A voice yelled. Blaster fire started raining down on her. Imperial Troopers issued her a warning to stop. Fel jumped into the M-68. A bolt of plasma struck her in the leg. She screamed and practically fell into the speeder. As the troopers neared, Charey punched the ignition with one hand and slammed the pedal with the other. The troopers chased her, the blaster fire nicking the M-68 as it sped away.<br/><br/>"I'm coming toward you! Be ready!"<br/><br/>"Do you have the intel?" the voice asked.<br/><br/>"Yes!" Fel repositioned herself but remained low as more troopers perused on speederbikes. "I've got it! Get the ship ready!"<br/><br/>"Transmit!" another voice called to Fel. "Transmit the intel, and we'll be ready."<br/><br/>Fell didn't recognize the new voice, nor did she trust it. "No! You'll get the intel when I'm on board." Spray cascaded from under the M-68 speeder as it raced across the rain-washed roads toward the airfield. Troopers were gaining speed. Then, finally, the field was in sight. Blaster fire covered her speeder. Smoke started to pour out. "No, no, no …." She was so close.<br/><br/>"Transmit!" yelled the foreign voice into her earpiece.<br/><br/>Fel looked at the scrambler. Her speeder began to sputter. Two troopers flanked her, their blasters aimed at the woman. Her thumb was on the button to transmit.<br/><br/>"Look up!" the familiar voice rang out again. Fel looked up. The ship was directly above her. "Hold on," the voice yelled, and cannonfire blasted the troopers off their bikes. "We're lowering the ramp!" Fel saw the ramp from the YT-1000 lower. A klaxon alarm in the distance began to scream. Fel took in a breath and jumped on the hoof of her speeder. The arm of her brother, Jamro, reached for her. She jumped. Jamro pulled her in. "Get the ramp up!" he yelled.<br/><br/>Jamro and a blue Twi'lek dragged Fel into the ship as it climbed into the atmosphere. "Get her wounds treated!" the 33-year-old ordered and ran to the cockpit."<br/><br/>Fel looked at the woman. "You're not the one who –"<br/><br/>"No, I'm Mia. She's the one who tried to get you killed," said the Twi'lek, nodding to a robbed woman preparing a bandage.<br/><br/>"What the hell?" Fel growled at the hooded figure.<br/><br/>"You're safe, and you have the intel. That's all that matters," she said matter-of-factly.<br/><br/>Fel began to rush the woman when she pulled back her robe to reveal a lightsaber. "I wouldn't. You're safe, and we have the intel." Fel brushed the bandages away and ran to the cockpit.<br/><br/>"Where are mom and dad?"<br/><br/>"A buddy of mine got them off-world yesterday. They'll make contact when they can." He turned to his sister as Mia took control. "They weren't happy about leaving or crossing the Empire."<br/><br/>"Neither am I!" Fel started to hand the scrambler over to her brother when the Jedi intervened.<br/><br/>"Transfer this onto a holodisk and take it to a bar on Cynda called<i>The Alley</i>. Order a Flaming Kyber. Another agent will assist you."<br/><br/>Fel forced the device into the Jedi's hands. "You do it!"<br/><br/>The Jedi reached out and pulled Fel back, placing the scrambler back into her hand. "We need to be elsewhere, and like it or not, you are part of the rebellion now. That is the way of things. Except it or die."<br/><br/>Fel glanced back at her brother, fire in her eyes.<br/><br/>"Mom and dad will be okay, out of the Empire's hands, and this is the price."<br/><br/>"We're about to go to hyperspace!" cried Mia. "Hold on!"<br/><br/>Fel sat down and watched as the stars began to stretch. She was furious at her brother and wanted to stab the Jedi. The life she knew was over, but deep down, her life ended the day the Empire murdered Lyra. "Okay," she said quietly. "What else do I need to know?"<br/><br/><hr class="bbc-hr"/><br/>Cynda was seedier than Corellia, but there was a familiarity to it. Enough that Fel felt at home. The area surrounding<i>The Alley</i>smelled of pollutants and alcohol. She went with her hood up and her head down. Aliens of all kinds filled the place. Fel took a seat at a vacant booth, sat her bag on the floor, and waited. Eventually, a lovely young waitress came over.<br/><br/>"A Flaming Kyber, please," she said. Fel was nervous. Was this even her contact or just more entertainment for the customers?<br/><br/><br/><div class="bbCodeSpoiler">
