* The beast attempted one final lunge, but instead collapsed, the tranquilizer finally taking its toll.*

Lone Starr looked down at the beast and cussed it out. He shook his head and noticed he was out of those darts. He made yet another call to his ship that was over head.
"Yeah, I'm gonna need a cage down here with a couple folks to help me load it up."
"Aye sir."
A cage lowered through the tress with two men on it ready to load up the prize. Lone Star helped them load it then checked his wounds. His leather jacket took most of the force of the claws but he had two marks a few inches long and only deep enough to make blood trickle out. He continued west toward the ship and saw it embedded in the ground.

*The shuttle was smashed beyond repair. At one time, it had been a Lambda-class T-4a,
but now it was nothing but scrap.*

"Aw hell, it's jacked up but send down a crew and the wenches anyway."
"Aye sir."
Over the next few hours they had what was left of the ship loaded in the cargo hold and they were back on the ship. He went to medical where he was checked out and also looked after the Imperial officer. Before the man awoke he checked with the intel and security officers and made sure they copied the datapad. Where they found the original they placed the smashed copy of the datapad that was fashioned to be exactly like the original, in data and appearance.
"Sir, are you feeling any better?"

* The officer groggily looked at Lone Starr. His eyes widened, and he groped for the datapad, finding it smashed, he sighed.*
"*under his breath* at least they don't have it.... Thank you for saving me Captain...."

He brushed off the words the man said and continued with a few questions.
"So what rank are you and where are you stationed?"

*The man looked at him quizzically.*
"Didn't they brief you at all? I'm Lieutenant Pliskin, stationed on kessel. Now that this data is destroyed, we don't have to fear that the Hutts will get their slimy hands on it."
*The man's eyes suddenly widened. He looked around and saw no Imperial uniforms.*
"What is your rank in the Imperial Navy? Why ae the crew in civillian clothes? What is this ship's designation? Who's your commanding officer?"
*His flood of questions continued*

Lone Starr laughed faintly then said,
"Oh no I'm not in the navy, I intercepted a transmission about a downed shuttle with an Imperial Officer and I could probably get something out of it. I was close to this system anyway so I figured it was worth a shot. Even if I didn't at least then I would have a contact in the navy in case I need something. Would you like me to return you to Kessel or to Corusant?"

*The officer tried to stand, but couldn't. Instead, he spoke indignantly.*
"I demand you take me to the nearest Imperial Navy base immediately!"
((Whereever you think is best.))

"Your call boss. We'll take my personal ship to get there, the Winnebago."
He directed the man to his ship and then set a course for the nearest Imperial base. While on his ship he typed and sent orders for the Mule to go to the Hutt planet Nal Hutta and await his arrival.

((Ok, I'll make Nal Hutta right away. )) *As soon as the ship lands, Pliskins storms off it without so much as a thank you.*

"Whatever man, guess that's what I get for helping an officer."
As Lone Star flies off he hails his ship,
"Meet me at high orbit above Ruunan."
"Aye sir."
Upon their meeting he informed the crew to scan the entire ship for bugs. He had it's registry wiped and jumps logs too. The name was reassigned as a food transport. He then loaded up and headed for Nal Hutta.
