Cutting Shapes

[Andy Khor]

Location: In between Nal Hutta and Naboo

"Screw this!" the transport, a GR 75 medium transport was being ambushed by a couple pirates ships. Andy imagine that they would destroy the engine and communication array first, before entering the civilian transport and bring anarchy. DJ and with a couple of mercenaries, he told them to give weapons to the men and women willing to raise a gun. A tremble on the ship was the sign that the engines was down. Another tremble and they would insert a tunnel to the hulk to enter.

The noise, the tremble, the lights going crazy, heavy breathing... but everyone´s attention where on the blowtorch creating a circle, in the only wall that divided the incoming battle. Andy didnt knew how to aim the gun, neither the other passangers, but he prayed that the bolts would hit a bunch of them or at least stop them for now. They needed a miracle.

The metal circle fell and bolts started to fly in the single corridor. The smell of burned flesh started to grow suddenly, as the deads on his side were growing. Between the noise and the smoke, he didnt knew if the attack on the pirates were doing something. After the guy on his side received a bolt on the head, sending his corpse to the back, Andy retreated to the storage room with the only surviving mercenary and the other passangers running away, throwing the guns to the floor.

He didnt wanted to be an slave so he jumped to the ventilation system and crawled while the pirates entered the ship. He dropped on the entrance of tunnel and went into the other ship without anyone knowing. He heard shots coming through and screams. Maybe they didnt take prisoners... Andy with his pistols in hand took a look to the hallway and saw a pilot sitting on a chair. After a bolt to the back, and throwing the corpse to the side, Andy sat, now having control of the whole ship. He knew that his stuff where in a secured crates so he flew the ship, destroying the tunnel and aim the turrets of the pirates to the civilian ship "Maybe i can save them. I only have to wait and trade..." "Hey Cayan, why did you destroy the tunnel?! We were going to bring the crates and leave the corpses behind" Andy hit the console panel angry. He just grabbed the controls and started shooting.

In the debris he saw scrap metals and corpses. He aimed into the pilot cabin and then into the center of the ship. After knowing that the pirates were dead, he investigated the ship and didnt find anyone. And he discovered the model of the ship, a Hammerhead Corvette that surely the pirate stole. He took a deep breath and saw the weapons and storage room. He would watch it later. Now he needed to take an space suit and grab the remaining crates of the GR 75. At least a few of his boxes were intact, and he retreived a nine in total, after that, the others were outside his range. Andy opened everyone, and saw clothes, minerals, a couple thousand of credits and no weapons. Of course half of his DJ equipment intact although he imagined it would be worse. The hammerhead got enough gasoline for a couple of travels around the galaxy and got enough guns for a single batallon and of course stolen stuff of all kind

The thing that catch his attention was a safe located in the storage room and he didnt knew why, but he had to crack it open. Something called for him in there. Andy caught a blowtorch, the same that created the entrance to the civilian ship. After a few minutes the door fell to the ground with smoke coming out. There was a single blueprint. The design of a lightsaber. He scan it and save it on the ship monitor. Although he had a ship, he would sell it. The memories of the dead make him remember the dead of his parents, the dead of the crew, the civilians on the other ship and how he couldnt do anything. A couple brenches and weapons tremble and elevated a meter in the air while Andy got his eyes close. He took a deep breath and all went down without making a noise. The force would be strong in this one, but not for now.
