SCENE 01 – Arriving at the location of Tala Baize’s private ship dock, Yolt and Cass find that it’s been carved into the top of a massive outcrop by wind erosion.
Lining the giant crater are windows from a multi-story structure looking into the crater’s bowl, the landing pad at its basin.
They pair gain entry via a ventilation shaft carved into the rock and are able to spy out the landing bad.
They can see Baize’s ship,HNTR-GRL 1, looking like it’s ready for takeoff: there is a fuel cable connected to the ship and it is exhausting clouds of various exhaust fumes as the systems are being checked.
There is a large assortment of crates close to the ship, but the loading ramp is not down and there is no sign of activity.
On the far side of the landing pad is a doorway with a security panel.
SCENE 02 – Splitting up, Yolt sneaks towards the hip whilst Cass tries to hack the security panel.
Exposed to the windows, Cass manages to remain hidden from sight but spies someone inside an upper room wearing a uniform he cannot identify.
Meanwhile, Yolt makes it to the cases just as the top case is removed by an EV9D9 droid they had not noticed. The droid and Yolt both freeze for a second, staring at each other — and then the droid’s eyes turn red and the perimeter alarm sounds.
SCENE 03 – Meanwhile, HK-47 and Kane arrive at the top of the column where they can hear the sounds of alarms going off as well as blaster fire.
They jump on the comms, Yolt telling them to stay above, and they head to the cauldera just as a door opens and several security guards pour out, wearing a variant of the uniform Cass saw from the landing pad.
Below, several security agents in matching uniforms issue forth from a doorway and don’t bother with a warning, opening fire on Cass and Yolt.
SCENE 04 – The firefight is intense and the security agents put a force field in place preventing HNTR-GRL 1 from taking off.
Running through a hatch below the ship, Cass is able to get aboard, open the loading ramp, and run to the cockpit, hoping that there is no one inside.
Yolt fends off the security detail and above Kane falls unconscious to heavy blaster fire whilst HK-47 dismantles the zip line to prevent being surrounded.
SCENE 05 – After dismantling the force field, Cass pilots the ship out of the landing bay, but the trip is cut short by the fuel cable, still attacked to the ship. Yolt runs out of the open loading ramp, avoiding fire from below, and cuts the fuel line, spraying highly flammable ship fuel everywhere.
When the ship gets to the top of the basin, HK carries the now-unconscious Kane aboard and they make their escape.
SCENE 06 – Aboard the ship, the team makes a quick search to see if anything of value was brought aboard.
Only by means of the Force is Yolt able to resist succumbing to his wounds and healing Kane to be well enough to carry on.
Yolt, however, does not need to search the ship, he already knew what was aboard the ship when he entered: an attuned Kyber crystal sings to him from the cargo hold …
SCENE 07 – Landing the ship in the jungle not far from the space port, HK-47 removes the ship’s navi-computer brain containing the Imperial Codes.
Yolt takes the case containing the Kyber Crystal; attuned, and channeling the Dark Side of the Force, the crystal reminds Yolt of a dark secret he keeps inside — a secret which will have future implications to the team.
