ANH 'verse. The Death Star. Waiting . . . waiting . . .

[astrotechmech]

Random turns the swivel chair back and forth, back and forth. 'Lock the door,' they said! 'Hope they don't have blasters,' they said! Well, the door is locked, and the Astrotroopers certainly have blasters! It is just going be only a matter of time before they discover that fact and try to blast the door open!

On top of that it turns out Princess Arcee is here. In the detention block. Awaiting termination. Jetfire and Hot Shot are seeing if they can prevent that. Nobody else from the ship was listed in the computer's databanks though.

Random stops moving the chair like an irritated organic does its tail, sighs, and rubs his face, grieving the loss of his crewmates.

"What does that mean?" Her hand reaches toward him and then is pulled back as she remembers she has to be like an Imperial right now.

[astrotechmech]

Well, the door is not open yet, so she could probably get away with it.

"Uh . . ." What did that mean?

Random rubs his face briefly. "The Allspark is a place. It's where all the sparks that were ever created go to, and--I don't think I'm remembering this part right--it might be where they come from too. It's also associated with Primus."

[random_xtras]

Those wide pale optics brighten slightly. "So... Primus takes us there? And everybody's there? Even... all our friends?"

[astrotechmech]

"Uhh, I guess so. You'd have to check with Scavenger, I think, on that, but from my understanding everyone we've ever know goes there. Even friends." He gives her a little smile at that last part.

[random_xtras]

Her mouth trembles at the corners, and then she shuts her optics off for a moment before looking up again, her smile sure.

"Okay. I'm not afraid anymore."

[astrotechmech]

Random continues to give her the little smile for a few moments before putting a finger to his mouth in a quiet command for silence, and then he listens for any sound coming from the hallway outside the room.

[random_xtras]

It's silent out there at the moment. Though he may hear something go boom in the distance. Kia hears this too and looks curious.

[astrotechmech]

Random hears the boom, not sure what to make of it, and will listen for a few more seconds before he will do anything.
