Chapter 5 - Changing Course

Tobaz entered the room, bowed before Zonar and said “My Lord Zonar the fighter crews have found out something concerning the device.”

“Have they found out what it is trying to say?” asked Zonar

“I have no idea my Lord Zonar,” replied Tobaz “but what they have found so far might require your presence.”

“Bring the device here.” said Zonar

“My Lord Zonar,” said Tobaz “the device is too big to move out of the fighter bay, it will not fit through the corridors.”

“Take the device apart and reassemble it here” ordered Zonar

“My Lord Zonar,” said Tobaz “I do not think the fighter crews have the skills to take it apart and put it together again.”

“Are they incompetent? If so they should be terminated!” said Zonar

“My Lord Zonar,” pleaded Tobaz “they are fighter crews not technicians. Perhaps a crew of technicians could help them out in disassembling the device and putting it back together here?”

Zonar looked very hard at Tobaz, and wondered if should have Cor use a blaster rod on Tobaz but then he said, “Very well Tobaz, see to it and do not fail me.”

“Yes my Lord Zonar,” said Tobaz and then he bowed before Zonar and turned away.

“Taskeven!” yelled Zonar

Taskeven entered the room, bowed before Zonar and said “My Lord Zonar”.

“Status of the approaching enemy?” asked Zonar

“It has changed course my Lord Zonar.” replied Taskeven

“It runs back to its base in fear!” said Zonar.

“It is not going back to its base my Lord Zonar” said Taskeven.

“What? Where is it going?” said Zonar

“My Lord Zonar,” replied Taskeven “it is trying coming close to us but not in an intercept course.”

“Change course to intercept it” ordered Zonar.

“Yes my Lord Zonar” said Taskeven who then bowed to Zonar and turned away from him.
