TO: THE
HEADQUARTERS OF THE PFT, HIDDEN IN THE SLAVE QUARTERS. THE GROUP IS HAVING ONE OF THEIR
MEETINGS, DISCUSSING PLANS FOR A BREAK IN TO PALPATINE'S TOWN HOUSE. A HUGE HOLOGRAPHIC
PROJECTION OF THE HOUSE APPEARS AS THEY TALK
Biggs:
We get in through the underground heating-system here ,up through an audience chamber
here, and Palpatine's wife's bedroom is here. Having grabbed his wife, we inform Palpatine
that she is in our custody, and forthwith issue our demands. Any questions? Rebel
I: What exactly are the demands? Wedge:
We're giving Palpatine two days to dismantle the entire apparatus of the Empire, and if he
doesn't agree immediately, we execute her. Moisture
Farmer: Cut her head off? Biggs:
Cut all her bits off! Send them back on the hour, every hour! Show them we are not to be
trifled with. Wedge:
And of course, we point out that they bear full responsibility when we chop her up, and
that we shall not submit to blackmail. All
Rebels except Wedge: No blackmail! Wedge:
They bled us white, the bastards. They've taken everything we had. And not just from us!
From our fathers, and from our father's fathers. Leia:
And from our father's father's fathers. Wedge:
Yeah. |
