Land...

True to form, things did not go as planned. The stormtroopers had rounded up civilians and not the rebels that had attacked.

The man in the passenger seat explained that he was heading to the store when they grabbed him. As the others awoke, their stories were coming out similar. These were not rebels and he had shot them.

"Incompetence," Chiveck said of the Stormtroopers that had not done their job.
Shaking his head in disbelief.
"Never trust a Stormtrooper to do the job right," he said to them.
He was amazed that the Empire managed to have victories at times.

The headset exploded with radio traffic as rebel fighters came into the system. He was given the order to land at the spaceport and wait for a real pilot to get there.

A barrage from one of the capital ships hit the station. Chiveck yelled at the people on the ship, "Come on, there are wounded over there we have to help them." This brought a surprised look to the civilians but many of them filed out and started to help him treat people while a couple just fled. The station was damaged but not destroyed. Chivek and the droid worked at patching people enough to get them out of the area. When the Tie fighters started to patrol, one of the men told Chivek, "Come with me."

The three of them went down alleyways and into the back of an old building which was about two blocks from the spaceport.

The man said in a tone that seemed sincere, "You are welcome to stay here, we have a lot of people who need medical care. The empire has been cruel to us." The three blaster rifles pointed at him from his sons also was a very motivating device.

Chivek released his blaster rifle and handed it over.
"If you have people out there, they need to look for the medics with the patrols. We will need their medical packs. They have this symbol on them," He pointed to the symbol that distinguished the medical packs.

After some interrogation, they posted two guards to watch the two of them. Slowly wounded people started to come to be treated. By the time he sat down to rest his robes were covered in people's blood from the surgeries to heal them.

"Good work, my friend!" he said to the droid patting it. He sat down against the wall and closed his eyes listening to the sound of war happening outside.
