Log Intro:
	With the tensions continuing amongst the impromptu crew of the
_Black Dragon_ -- now consisting of Luke, Leia, Winter, Jessalyn,
Shenner, Han, and Amylynn -- Shenner has observed the older members of
the crew all anxious to get off Palanhi as soon as possible. In fact,
she has seen Leia and Han arguing over Solo going off on his own
after Alora, and although she still is deeply unnerved by Solo for
reasons she has yet to fathom, Shenner has accompanied him out into
the city on a search for the wandering members of the ship's
complement. It's been an unsuccessful search, however, and Solo has
returned Shenner to the ship, with only a cryptic remark about business
of his own to take care of. Shenner, thusly, frets restlessly in the
ship's corridors....

----------
Lando walks in from the Entry Area of the ship.
Lando has arrived.

Luke walks in from the Entry Area of the ship.
Luke has arrived.

Jessalyn walks in from the Entry Area of the ship.
Jessalyn has arrived.

Lando walks into to the rooms, looking slightly unsettled.

Shenner can be spotted fretfully pacing the length of the corridor and 
  fidgeting with her hands as well, sticking them in and out of her vest 
  pockets, tapping the walls, and occasionally just swinging them at her 
  sides. At the sounds of arrival coming down the corridor, though, the kid 
  jerks to a halt, and looks up, wide-eyed.

Lando
A grin as smooth as his voice graces his dark face more often than not, though 
  the eyes may or may not laugh so smoothly. A slight mostache settles above 
  it, his expression altogether strong and self-assured. His black hair is 
  short and well kept.
He is dressed in somewhat somber colors of grey and black; black trousers with 
  grey side stripes and boots, and a light grey tunic with black simple trim. 
  Over this is settled a black cape lined in light grey, which swirls about 
  his knees. Around his waist is an elegant looking belt and attatched to the 
  belt at his right side is a blaster harness, which straps to his leg. The 
  butt of a very ornate looking blaster sticks out of the holster into view.

Luke
A human male. Short and slight of build, more agile than powerful. Mildly 
  athletic. His tousled, sandy blonde hair is of medium length and frames a 
  tan face with the beginnings of creases around his clear blue eyes. A faint 
  scar runs along the corner of his mouth with a similiar one near his nose. 
  His chin is gently cleft. He looks quite young, yet his demeanor is 
  purposeful, confident, deliberately calm and belies his age. He seems to be 
  empty of selfishness or ego, with quiet movements and a distant voice which 
  can at times be laden with surprising intensity. He wears a black shirt 
  whose sleeves come to mid bicep, and black pants tucked into gleaming knee 
  high boots. Around his waist he wears a simple brown utility belt which 
  shows some wear and tear as well as a scuffed silver octagonal buckle. He 
  carries no blaster, nor other obvious weapon or accessory, save for an 
  object hanging from his belt.. A silver cylinder roughly 12 inches in 
  length.

Jessalyn 
        Rainforest green eyes return your gaze, followed by a brilliant smile 
  that lights up the features of this slender woman. Humor and compassion 
  shine in those green eyes, and her face is pale with wide cheekbones. 
  Shining dark red hair falls in unruly silken waves around her shoulders.
        Jessa is dressed in her plain tech uniform, a beige jumpsuit with a 
  high collar and plenty of pockets, with the insignia on her chest indicating 
  her rank of Major. Around her waist is a black leather utility belt. Her 
  hair is held back from her face and clipped behind her head, though stray 
  curling locks continue to fall into her eyes. There is a standard issue 
  blaster holstered to her right thigh, and the fit of the coverall and the 
  shiny black boots on her legs emphasize her narrow waist and the long-legged 
  rhythm of her strides.

Shenner yelps, "Luke, Jess!" And then cuts it off, at the sight of the 
  stranger with them.

Luke steps in, with Lando and Jess. His expression mildly vague. "Um.." he 
  swallows, looking over at Shenner and Jess, "This is a good friend of mine, 
  Lando Calrissian. Lando, I'd like you to.." another swallow as if he's 
  distracted by something, "..um.. meet Jessalyn Valios and.. Shenner." 
  gesturing to each of them in turn.

Jessalyn follows silently behind Luke and Lando, and her gaze remains lowered 
  until she is introduced. Her smile to Lando is reluctant, but she offers her 
  hand nonetheless. "A pleasure," she says softly, offering her small slender 
  hand.

Lando takes a good long look at Jessalyn and manages a warm smile, "Well 
  hello. I'm sorry if I was being rude back there, but it always makes me 
  nervous when Luke starts acting this way." He says extending a hand.

The redheaded youngster frowns slightly at Luke's demeanor, and spares enough 
  attention for the newcomer to nod curtly at him before asking Luke 
  anxiously, "You okay? Where you been, Solo was about to shoot something when 
  we couldn't find you."

Luke is breathing as if he had just run a mile, "I'm ok Shenner." looking to 
  Jess for some sort of proof to that statement, "Everything's ok.."

Jessalyn's pale cheeks flush considerably at Lando's charm. "It makes me 
  nervous too," she says in a light tone, and lifts her hand to his.

Lando continues smiling and lowers his head slowly, kissing Jessalyne's hand. 
  He raises his head and is still smiling, "I can see why Luke has kept you 
  hidden from me."

Jessalyn's eyes widen briefly, and she glances at Luke with a nervous glance. 
  "I... well... " she fumbles, then lowers her gaze, her cheeks turning bright 
  enough red to compete with her hair.

Luke allows a smile to creep up his face, "Watch out for this one.." he 
  mutters with amusement toward Jess.

Shenner considers Luke's report and Jessalyn's distracted reaction to the 
  stranger -- and as Lando levels charm at the older redhead, the kid's eyes 
  narrow. Focusing on Luke, she goes on, "We gonna go yet? Solo and the 
  Princess wanted everybody on the ship, and Solo told me to stay here, but he 
  took off again. Ain't seen the Princess or Winter or Amylynn, though...?" 
  Shen leaves that last open-ended, obviously wondering whether the newly 
  returned ones have.

Jessalyn glares at Luke, and abruptly jerks her hand away from Lando, crossing 
  her arms over her chest protectively.

Lando grins innocenntly and puts a hand to his chest, "Who me? Luke, I'm 
  hurt." He turns toward Shenner and smiles as well, "And you are Shenner?" He 
  says extending his hand.

Luke answers Shenner ominously, "We're leaving as soon as everyone is here." 
  as he watches Lando step toward her, "I don't know if I'll be going back 
  with you." flashing expectant eyes toward Jessalyn.

Shenner slides that slightly narrowed green gaze to the dark-skinned man, 
  then, moving in deliberately broad and undelicate motions, she reaches to 
  intercept Lando's offered hand and shake it, firmly. "Yeah," comes her 
  brusque reply.

Jessalyn's lips part, but she doesn't say anything as she looks back at Luke, 
  but an heretofore unforeseen panic fills her somber green eyes.

Lando chuckles as Shenner shakes his hand, but quickly turns back to Luke, 
  looking for an explanation, "What? Go where? Han's here? Leia too?" He 
  pauses briefly to regain his composure, "Mind telling me what going on?"

Shenner, handshake terminated, now joins Jessalyn in frowning at Luke. But the 
  kid, unlike Jessalyn, blurts, "What?! Wait... you're not coming?"

Jessalyn, for all the world and for all her frantic attempts at the contrary, 
  looks as if her heart is breaking in two at this very instant. Her slim 
  white fingers dig into Shenner's shoulder and she stares, wide-eyed and 
  expressionless, at the conversation in front of them.

Luke nods to both slowly, his voice now fully composed and calm, "Leia and Han 
  are here, but.." he glances over at Shenner, "I think Han might have left.." 
  then back to Lando, "Winter is here.." he sighs audibly, "Someone is here 
  for me, and you're all in danger if you don't leave."
	
Shenner scowls. "Well, what about _you_ being in danger?"

Lando steps backward and plods down on the nearest seat. He crosses his arms 
  and looks defiant, "I'm not going anywhere until you tell me just what the 
  hell is going on here."

"I've got to confront him again Shenner. It's difficult to explain." Luke 
  replies softly, folding his arms and looking for all the world like he's 
  trying to talk a Jawa into giving up his scrap pile. He looks to Lando, 
  letting out a breath and pausing before explaining what has happened so far, 
  "There is a Dark Lord here. He's angry that Han escaped from him and he will 
  destroy us all because I would not turn to the Dark Side and join him." his 
  eyes pleading around the group, moving from Lando, to Shenner, to Jessalyn, 
  "He told me this."

Jessalyn blinks slowly, nodding with understanding. Oblivious to whether the 
  others hear or not, she whispers, "You're not going alone."

Lando turns to look at Jessalyne and pauses, he turns and looks at Shenner and 
  pauses, then he looks directly at Luke and shakes his head, "I have a bad 
  feeling about this."

Shenner continues to scowl, appearing quite morally affronted, at Luke's quiet 
  explanation. "Seems to me the best way to keep anybody from destroying us 
  would be for us all to get the hells off the planet, Luke!" The kid's voice 
  rises a bit, slightly strident; evidently, the frustration she'd been 
  building up pacing in the hallway still grips her.

Jessalyn glances quickly at Shenner, then at Lando, then back at Luke. Licking 
  her dry lips, she shakes her head slowly, trying to convey to the young Jedi 
  that she understands his need - no, his compulsion - to face the Dark Lord. 
  "You won't go alone," she says again, softly but firmly.

Luke takes a step toward Jess, placing a hand gently on her arm, "Where I'm 
  going, you can't follow.." peering at Shenners outrage before adding 
  distantly, "I'm going to destroy him.. or he'll kill my friends." shaking 
  his head, the pleading tone returning, mainly focused on Jessa, "I can't let 
  that happen."

"Neither can I," Jessalyn whispers. "I know you want to think your destiny is 
  your own, Luke, but this time you're wrong! I won't let him do this to -us-!"

Lando stands and blinks a few times, "A dark lord? I thought you were the last 
  of the Jedi?"

Shenner crosses her arms, glowering greenly at Skywalker, and mutters 
  grumpily, "After I spent the last several hours combing this city the least 
  you could do is leave with us." Something in the kid's expression doesn't 
  quite manage to match the grumpy tone, though; Shenner's gaze holds worry 
  under the anger.

Luke turns sharply at Jess, perhaps in shock, or pain, or simple frustration, 
  "There is no us." his expression conflicts with that statement however, his 
  eyes asking for forgiveness wordlessly. He lets his hand slip grudgingly off 
  of her arm, "There's no other way.. I'm sorry Jess.."

Lando approaches Luke apparently oblivious to any of Luke's statements that 
  did not answer his question. He expands, "I thought that Vader and the 
  Emperor died that was it, just you. Now a Dark Lord appears from out of now 
  where?"

Jessalyn's breath catches in her throat. She doesn't say anything, but she 
  turns slowly, her gaze resting on Shenner briefly. Then, her expression 
  crumpling, a sob catches uncalled for in her throat. "Yeah.. I know.."

Luke keeps his focus on Jess as he slumps back toward the wall, answering 
  Lando, "I don't know where he came from. But he told me he has remained 
  hidden, much the same way that Yoda and Obi-Wan remained hidden."

Shenner explodes, "Dammit!" Glowering hotly, she smacks Luke with a hot green 
  stare, and steps straight to Jess, moving to hug her.

Jessalyn's finger dig into Shenner's shoulders. She shakes her head, and hot 
  tears stream down her cheeks as she whispers to her young friend.
Jessalyn whispers, "Just get me out of here, please. I can't stand this any 
  more..."

Amylynn walks in from the Entry Area of the ship.
Amylynn has arrived.
Amylynn peeks her head out of the hall away and walks into the group of people 
  "Hi all."

Luke lets out a choppy breath, "Jess.. we've talked about this. I can't.. you 
  know I can't.. they'll kill you." he blinks toward Lando, firming up his 
  folded arms as he leans deeper into the wall.

Shenner declares hotly to Luke, "Jessalyn and I ain't goin' _nowhere_ unless 
  we _all_ go. Solo said it, Princess Leia said it, and me, bein' the ship's 
  street rat, I ain't gonna argue with a Princess and a General. C'mon, Jess, 
  let's wait outside till Luke decides to learn a clue."
Shenner, with that, tugs with a gentleness contradictory to her snarly 
  expression on Jessalyn's arm.

"Shenner!" Luke's voice booms, not out of rage or anger, but laden with 
  command, calm in its intensity.

Jessalyn's head shakes slowly, soft sobs leaving her throat as Shenner tugs 
  her at her arm.

Lando stands by Luke, waiting for a response to his question. He turns to the 
  new arrival and smile cordially.

Amylynn looks to the new face (Lando) and back to Luke and the two girls.

Shenner whirls back to Luke and hollers, "Kark it, Luke, after what 
  everybody's gone through to make sure Solo got out, especially _her_" -- and 
  the kid thrusts a finger at Amylynn -- "do you _really_ wanna put these 
  people through this _all over again_ to get _you_ back, if this Dark Lord 
  turns you into ground meat?"

Jessalyn gives Shenner a soft, compassionate glance, and shakes her head. "It 
  doesn't matter anymore, Shen... if he doesn't want me.... us.... to care, 
  then.. why...?"

Luke straightens his posture, "I'm coming back. You don't understand." he 
  looks over at Jess, "None of you understand."

Amylynn whisper "I think i do."

Shenner rails, "I can't say I got any claims of friendship on you people, 
  except maybe Jess, so it ain't really like it's none o' my karkin' business, 
  but that just seems like _real_ mookla-shit to me! Jess, are you comin' or 
  not?" The kid flicks a glance to the distraught woman, with this last.

Lando cocks an eyebrow and throws a glance at Luke, "Get Han back? What debtor 
  did that old pirate run into this time" He asks with a smile.

Amylynn taps her blaster rifle nervously.

Jessalyn glances at Shenner, nodding. "Yes. Please. I'mcoming."

Luke blurts out, "Do you want to get killed?"

Shenner snaps back to Luke as she touches Jessalyn's arm, "Do you?"

Jessalyn gives Luke an expressionless glance, only her tears indicative of her 
  feelings. "Do you care, one way or another?"

Lando taps his foot impatiently, and waits for a response.

Amylynn whisper to Lando "He was captured in a a space battle is all i know."

"Yes I care. You know I do. We've been through this." Luke says, looking 
  somewhat hurt, "How can you say I wouldn't care? That's why I want you both 
  to stay on the ship and get out of here!" his expression is tortured.

Jessalyn's lips press tightly together as she begins to drag Shenner with her 
  towards the door. "There 'is no us'," she quotes acidly. "Hell, no. You 
  don't care about anything but your own damn pride, Luke Skywalker!"

Amylynn looks to the girls her eyes show consern.

Shenner flares, "And what about everybody on this ship that wants _you_ to get 
  out of here with us so _you_ won't get killed? Are you the only one allowed 
  to care, 'cause you've got the Force, or somethin'? Talk about mookla-shit!"

Lando looks at Amylynn, slightly shocked, "A space battle?" He looks at 
  Jessalyne and Shenner and then back to Luke. He sighs deeply, "I have a real 
  bad feeling about this."

Shenner doesn't stomp off, quite yet; she remains planted there with one hand 
  on Jessa's arm, and glares blaster bolts at Luke, defying him to argue.

Luke goes blank faced, he pauses for a moment, looking at Shenner and 
  Jessalyn, "I've got a responsibility to you. Yes Shenner, I do.. no matter 
  -what- you think about it, I have my reasons. And if it makes a difference I 
  do love you, just as Alora said.. but I can't let any of you be in danger. 
  You must understand that. You must." his head drops minutely.

Lando remains silent, turning to look at each party as they speak.

Jessalyn's lower lip trembles, her face torn as she looks down at Shenner and 
  then back at Luke. Words start to form in her throat but she is too stunned 
  to speak them. She nearly loses her balance and has to lean against the 
  younger girl to keep from falling.

Amylynn says, "Jess, please don't do this, Don't play into Alora's hand....she 
  wants you to. We need to keep together."
Amylynn speaks quietly in a soothing voice, in a allmost mother like manner.

Jessalyn's gaze flickers up to Amylynn, astonished. "What did you just say to 
  me?"

Shenner grabs at Jess to hold her up, then growls to Amylynn, "_Jess_ isn't 
  the one who's talking about leaving, argue with Luke!"

Amylynn says, "IT's something he must do. If you care about him...understand, 
  I understand."

Jessalyn's green eyes blaze with fury, and she straightens her shoulders. 
  "Pardon me? What do you know about how I feel? Or about what he feels?" She 
  lets her gaze roam between Luke and Amylynn.

Luke melts into the wall, blowing a lock of hair out of his eyes. "Jess.. your 
  angry." he darts her a pleading look. "Don't do this."

Amylynn matter of factly says "The way your reacting I can read you like a 
  book. I know how you feel bout Him. Now will you help him or hurt him."

Shenner keeps glowering. "So _he_ gets to have his way 'cause he's the Jedi? 
  Bantha dung! How about showing some understanding for how _Jess_ feels?" She 
  whirls on Luke, then, and starts to rail on, but then the kid gets a better 
  look at his expression.
Shenner pauses a beat, then squints closer at the Jedi.

Jessalyn tosses Luke an acid glare. "Don't start with me, Luke. I've had 
  enough games with you. Not this time. I'm not your Jedi."

Amylynn holds up a hand "Wait.... Luke your going to face Alora?"

Luke squints at Jessalyn, "Who's are you Jess? Alora's? Will you go to her 
  now?"

Jessalyn gapes, astonished. "Alora? What? After what I did to resist her, 
  because I love you?" Tears begin to glimmer in her eyes again.

Shenner tosses over her shoulder, "No, some Dark Lord guy," to Amylynn, then 
  eyes Luke again, and demands brusquely, "So tell us why it's so important 
  that you have to face him all by your lonesome if he's so powerful he can 
  destroy us all."

Luke shakes his head softly replying, "No.. not Alora.. someone worse."

Lando looks at Luke, obviously worried about his friend and then turns to face 
  Shenner and Jessalyne, looking slightly perplexed. He then turns towards 
  Amylynn obviously not knowing what to make of her. He steps in front of Luke 
  and holds a hand up to each side, "Ok folks, we are getting way out of hand 
  here. I'm not exactly sure what's going on, but all this ranting and raving 
  isn't helping much."

Luke takes a breath looking Shenner straight in the eye, his features stone, 
  and completely sincere, "Because I can destroy him."

Amylynn looks to Jess "And what about what will happen if he doesn't face the 
  dark lord? The suffering, if he doesn't go now who else will he destroy? Me? 
  Han? Shenner? Will you doom them just to protect Luke?"

Luke turns to Jess, "You're letting her anger become your own. Please Jess.. 
  don't do this. It's what she wants."

Jessalyn'e bright green eyes narrow. She looks at Amylynn with a hateful 
  stare. "Yes," she says without a bit of remorse. "Don't you dare speak down 
  to me like that, you little Imperial bitch. I'd gladly sacrifice everything 
  I love and honor to save Luke. He's the one who's going to save the rest of 
  use."

Amylynn sizes the girl up "I allready gave away everything I own. I see your 
  to selfish to do it yourself."

Jessalyn breathes out angrily, and she has to clench her fists to keep from 
  striking the other woman. She ignores Luke completely. "I don't even -have- 
  anything to give up!"

Luke's voice is a mere whisper, "This is what she wants. This is what -he- 
  wants to happen. They're already winning this.." he moves off down the hall, 
  still muttering, "They've already won.."

Lando rolls his eyes and turns towards Jessalyne and Shenner, "Look, I don't 
  know who this Dark lord is but I do know that Luke faced the Emperor -and- 
  Vader by himself. If he says he gotta go I support his descion." He turns 
  towards Luke and shakes his head, "But I'm not leaving this planet without 
  you, I'll sit back and wait until you come back."

Amylynn eyes are cold and hard " I probley killed my parents by saving Han. 
  You have more than you know young one. But what you have to protect it you 
  must let go."

Jessalyn turns slowly, now ignoring Amylynn as Luke walks away. "Think about 
  why that is," she whispers, only to him. "Think about it."
Jessalyn grasps Shenner's hand and looks at her questioningly.

Amylynn says, "Do what is right, Not what is safe Kid. Then you'll understand."

Luke turns at the doorway, placing a hand up on the edge of it just staring at 
  Jessalyn, he replies quietly, almost too quiet to hear, "Think about how 
  you're playing into his hands by living on your anger and fears." he turns 
  to go.

Not waiting for Shenner's reply, Jessalyn turns out of the corridor, shame and 
  anger flushing her cheeks.

Jessalyn walks into the Entry Area of the ship.
Jessalyn has left.

Lando shakes his head and follows quickly towards Luke, "Luke, wait up."

Luke is already down the corridor.
Luke walks into the Entry Area of the ship.
Luke has left.

Lando rolls his eyes and trots off behind Luke.
Lando walks into the Entry Area of the ship.
Lando has left.

Amylynn looks to Shenner "With the force, it seems if you don't let go....you 
  lose....

Shenner utters a low frustrated oath and whirls to smack the wall, hard.
Shenner grumbles, "What _is_ it with these people?!"

Amylynn says, "Shenner, Don't lose Jess to the dark side. I know all about it 
  now. She wants control over Luke. We can lose them all."
Amylynn says, "I given up all I had for you people, and I'm just a Imperial 
  bitch I guess..."
Amylynn sighs.

The kid turns to look at you, and snorts. "Lady, if you think I possess clue 
  one about Dark Side or Light Side or right side or left side, you're talkin' 
  to the wrong street rat. All I saw just now was two people bein' _real_ 
  blockheaded at one another, and damned if I understood a word of it." 
  Something of her earlier fury has left her, but she's still visibly 
  irritated. "But then, what does a street rat know anyway? 'Scuse me, I'm 
  gonna go jam and wait until somebody actually decides we're leavin' this 
  rock."
Shenner, with that, turns and stalks off towards the rear of the ship.

[Disheartened by the argument, Shenner creeps off to the cargo hold and
 looks for her guitar.]

You grab ahold of the access handles on the floor panel and lift it away,
setting it carefully to the side.  You lower yourself into the cargo bay.
Cargo Bay--Black Dragon
This is the main cargo bay. All ship's cargo is kept here.
Obvious exits:
Entry Area <Starboard>  

[And, shortly...]

Amylynn walks in from the Entry Area of the ship.
Amylynn has arrived.
Amylynn looks ino the cargo bay "Shenner?"

Shenner has plunked herself down on the floor of the cargo bay, and can be 
  seen tuning her guitar.

The kid looks up, though, and says brusquely, "Yeah?"

Amylynn says, "You ok kid?"

Shenner strums a somewhat sour chord, makes a sour face at it, and as she 
  adjusts the guitar's frets, sighs and says grumpily, "Not really, no."

Amylynn nods and says "I'll see what i can do...please don't do anything 
  foolish..." She gets up and Leaves
Amylynn walks Starboard into the Entry Area of the ship.
Amylynn has left.

[Shenner jams for a while, but her restless mood keeps her from really
 focusing on it. Worried about the others, she eventually emerges....]

You pull yourself up out of the cargo hold, replacing the access panel into the
floor.
You arrive in the Entry Area of the ship.
Rear Corridor - Black Dragon
You gaze into the Entry Area for the YT-1300 Black Dragon. This is a nexus to 
  the various areas of the ship. The Cargo Bay to the port, Engineering to the 
  aft, and the Main Corridor to the fore.

Amylynn is watching the airlock and waiting.

Shenner comes hoisting herself and her guitar -- and both her flutes slung in 
  their carry-bags over one shoulder -- up out of the cargo bay, and pauses in 
  replacing the access panel when she sees the medic here. "They all fled?" 
  she asks.

Amylynn says, "they went outside, I have a bad feeling....no one came back yet"

Shenner frowns. "Do you think we should check on them? Leaving the ship alone 
  probably isn't a good idea..."
Shenner leans the guitar against the wall, and replaces the cargo hold's 
  access panel

Amylynn nods "Since people are after me, take a peek outside and tell me if 
  it's clear and I'll bring up the rear." Amy draws her rifle.

Shenner inclines her head, moving to set down her flutes before she goes.

[And out of the ship Shenner ducks...]

You head out of the ship.
Palanhi City Starport - Palanhi City <Palanhi>(#19889RUXFJ)
A wide expanse of concrete surrounds the main terminal of the Palanhi City 
  Starport. Several service droids are in almost constant motion, their task 
  keeping this section of the terminal clean. Errand droids scurry in and out 
  of the area, either bringing in or taking out the bevy of goods that arrive 
  and leave here on a daily basis. Surrounded by a small steel-mesh fence, a 
  large control tower rises up to the North. To the south, shuttles are being 
  moved in and out of a number of hangars. Nearby, loading ramps lead up to 
  several shuttles. An exit stands to the West.

Amylynn says, "What should I do...if she sees me...are they in danger?"

Shenner scowls, but not at you. "I didn't stay long enough to watch... kark 
  it, where the _hells_ did Solo go..." She checks the ancient blaster stuffed 
  under her vest, then ducks back out.

You head out of the ship.

Shenner emerges again, as quietly as possible, and does not come fully down 
  the ramp. The kid crouches as much out of sight as she can get, scowling out 
  into the port to get an idea of what's going on.

Luke glances at Jessalyn before replying to Alora, "I know." his eyes focused 
  on her.

Jessalyn stands at the bottom of the ramp, clinging to Luke's arm, a mixture 
  of fear and shock showing on her face.

Alora bites her lower lip, just circling her pylon.

Luke quietly speaks as if thinking aloud, "You could help me destroy him.. if 
  you turned back. I won't help you while you're on the path that you're on 
  Alora. Come back." he states simply.

Lando glances at Luke quickly and the turns back towards Alora, waiting to 
  here her response.

Alora looks over to Luke, "If I don't help you Skywalker.. you will be 
  destroyed."

Luke gives a pained look toward Jessalyn, as he replies, "I've got no choice."

Tand watches all this with a look of astounding awe and utter confusion.

Alora says, "And why is that? I offered to help you end him."

Jessalyn lifts her head to meet Luke's gaze trying to understand. She shakes 
  her head slowly. "No..."

Lando blinks a fews times and looks at Luke

Luke frowns ever so slightly, "Because you're no better than him. What.. I 
  help you destroy him, so you can take his power for yourself? Is that what 
  you want Alora? For me to be a pawn in your quest for gaining more power?" 
  he lets out a chopped exhalation, "I'll destroy Sabbath to protect what is 
  right. Not to make you more evil."

Alora shakes hr head. "No.. If I had wanted his power I would have taken it 
  before my young foolish jedi."

Luke just stares at Alora with a curious expression, "I don't believe you."

Alora shrugs, "Believe what you will Skywalker.."

Tand frowns to himself as he hears Alora call Luke 'foolish'.

Jessalyn looks up at Luke imploringly, as if not looking at Alora will give 
  her strength.

Luke answers pleadingly, "There's still hope for you Alora. If you'd only 
  listen."

Alora sighs softly, "When are you going to stop this!? Youa re the one who 
  does not listen Luke!"

Luke simply shakes his head, "You know deep down it was all an accident.. what 
  happened a long time ago.. that's the truth, and harboring this hatred over 
  something you can no longer change is only harming you."

Jessalyn slowly releases her hold on Luke's arm, and she glance behind her, up 
  the ramp, and gives a start of surprise as she sees Shenner crouched here.

Alora turns and walks over towards Luke, "You still don't know it all.. but 
  you know enough. Could you truely turn away from it.. but let us not talk 
  about the past.. It can't kill you. Sabbath can."

Shenner meets Jessalyn's gaze levelly, not uttering a word, and not moving, 
  either. The kid's face is alert and sharp.

Luke turns his body to face her, "Not if I can help it." he replies defiantly. 
  "Sabbath is nearly consumed himself, if not already. He's not long for this 
  world."

Jessalyn gives Shenner an apologetic look before she glances back towards 
  Alora. Her hand goes to her waist, slim determined fingers fumbling for her 
  blaster there.

Alora says, "So how will you deal with him?"

Lando subconsciously lets his right hand drop towards his waist as Alora 
  approaches Luke. He eyes are fixed on her, but his face betrays no emotion.

Luke sighs, "I'll kill him if necessary. He's proven to me that there is no 
  hope for him." he flashes you a brilliant gaze, "He's long gone, unlike 
  yourself."

Alora nods slightly, "But you can't kill him alone Sywalker.. you know this."

Jessalyn slowly inches her blaster out of her holster. There is no hint of 
  anger in her voice or her expression as she levels at Alora; only a fierce 
  protectiveness. "Get out of here."

Luke turns, letting his gaze fall over Jessalyn, Lando and Shenner, "There's 
  always a chance." then turning back to Alora, his voice placid, "You know I 
  can't help you. But you can help yourself. Let go of your hatred."
Luke turns sharply to Jess, "Put it away now!"

Alora looks over to Jessa, but then looks back to Luke, eyeing him carefully.

"Don't be angry, Luke," Jessalyn says softly, and not without compassion. "I 
  only want her to leave us all alone." The blaster remains trained steadily 
  on its target.

Alora looks to Luke, "I do not want him dead to help me you fool!"

Luke puts a hand on Jessa's blaster, "Please.." he pushes gently on it.
Luke seems quite taken aback, "Why then?" he answers.

The point of Jessa's blaster lowers only slightly as she glances at Luke, a 
  myriad of confused emotions playing over her face.

Alora's eyes harden as she looks to Luke. "He will kill my children!"

Lando watches Jessalyn and Luke and glides sideways to place Luke between 
  himself and Jessalyn and into full view of Alora.

Luke's voice once again turns pleading, he steps toward Alora, "Then let go of 
  your anger and come with me. We'll protect them together. I know you can do 
  it Alora."

Jessalyn winces slightly at Alora's words, and the blaster drops slightly. She 
  rubs at her forehead in turmoil, gasping for breath.

Alora shakes her head. "Your speech is getting old and weak!

Luke sighs deeply, "It's true you know it is. It's the only way to truly 
  protect your children. Do you want them to turn out like him?"

Alora says, "Do you wish to see Eri's childred dead Skywalker? I thought you 
  were his friend?""

Shenner stiffens at Jessalyn's drawing of her gun, and _almost_ gets up. The 
  kid clenches one of the support frets on the ramp, tightly.

Luke frowns, obviously pained, "Don't blame me for your choices. You'll lead 
  them into Sabbath's hands. But it's still not too late."

Alora shakes her head. "Not if he is dead Skywalker... why not fight 
  together.. Destory Sabbath, and his evil."

Jessalyn frowns up at Luke, shaking her head, and speaks urgently to him. 
  "Luke please! It's still her choice. She won't turn. There's nothing in her 
  to turn."

Luke inhales thoughtfully, "I'll help you.. -if- you turn. But it's your 
  choice. Otherwise I'll face him alone, and maybe die."

Alora nods slightly to Luke, "I understand.." she says, and then turns away 
  from Luke.

As Alora turns away from Luke, Jessalyn interjects herself between them and 
  tries to corral him back into the ship. "Come on, please!"

Lando's entire body seems to untense and his height seems to drop 3 inches. He 
  takes a deep breath and blinks a few times.

Luke remains motionless, if not somehow saddened. "It's not too late.. 
  remember that." he calls after her.

Jessalyn gives a growl of frustration as she practically shoves Luke back up 
  into the ship.

Alora ignore's Luke as she walks away.

Luke watches her go, even as he is reluctantly shoved into the ship.

[Shenner backs off into the ship, along with the others.]

You walk into the Rear Corridor of the ship
Rear Corridor - Black Dragon
You gaze into the Entry Area for the YT-1300 Black Dragon. This is a nexus to 
  the various areas of the ship. The Cargo Bay to the port, Engineering to the 
  aft, and the Main Corridor to the fore.
Obvious exits:
Airlock <Starboard>  Cargo Bay <Port>  Engine Room <Aft>  Main Corridor <Fore> 
   
Luke walks in from the Airlock of the ship
Luke has arrived.

Jessalyn walks in from the Airlock of the ship
Jessalyn has arrived.

Shenner, head lowered, grabs the guitar and flutes she'd left propped against 
  the wall, and sighs.

Jessalyn moves automatically over to Shenner and touches her shoulders gently 
  with trembling hands.

Lando walks in from the Airlock of the ship
Lando has arrived.

Shenner looks up tensely. "I don't understand none o' this, Jess," the kid 
  says, voice low.

Luke moves silently past everyone up the corridor.
Luke walks Fore to the Main Corridor of the ship.
Luke has left.

Jessalyn squeezes the girl's shoulders and sighs wearily, not watching Luke as 
  he passes by. "I'm sorry, Shen"

Lando chases off after Luke, looking a bit weary.
Lando walks Fore to the Main Corridor of the ship.
Lando has left.

As the men move off, Shenner sighs tiredly and hugs you.

Jessalyn pulls her young friend against her and hugs her tight. "Thank you 
  for being there for me."

Shenner swallows hard, and just hugs.
