Meade struggles to his feet as he breathes heavily.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/3_zps2loj3tcq.jpg)
"Sir!? Anyone!" Kalin yells over the crackling of the fire.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/4_zpsoluat0vd.jpg)
"Hello!?" yells Meade as he tries to catch his breath. "Can you hear us?"
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/5_zpsfhwk0uyl.jpg)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/6_zpscv8jlywk.jpg)

Kane emerges from the smoke, coughing as his helmet's respirator works hard to filter the thick air.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/8_zps5cgd5o1f.jpg)
"There he is!" yells Kalin, throwing his rifle down to help his squad leader.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/9_zpshzndjod7.jpg)
The solider pulls Kane from the rubble, squinting through the sweat as it collects above his brow.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/10_zpssmimy8ps.jpg)
Meade makes his way to Kane, falling next to him as he checks the damage on his armor. "Are you okay sir? Are you hurt? Where's Darr?"
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/11_zps66voopet.jpg)
"Darr!" yells Kane suddenly, pointing to the temple consumed in fire.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/12_zps6y13ntsx.jpg)
"He's still in there!" Kane says with a gruff voice as he staggers to his feet. "I'm going back!"
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/13_zpsvmuakkri.jpg)
Meade quickly puts his arm against Kane, blocking him. "No, you can't go back in there!"
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/14_zpscjrko9un.jpg)
"He's right!" says Kalin grabbing Kane's arm. "You can't sir, you can't!"
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/15_zpsusperbdi.jpg)
Haas runs up to the scene still watching the smoke billow from the temple's entrance.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/16_zpskou1mxqc.jpg)
Suddenly the crackling of the fire grows louder and an explosion knocks the men to their feet.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/17_zpsxxpyjcgc.jpg)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/18_zpseioe0ojo.jpg)
The men move about on the ground, static sounding in their ears.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/19_zpsoqaqclah.jpg)
"We gotta get out of here," says Haas. "We gotta go!"
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/20_zpscayofpug.jpg)
The men groan as they recover from the explosion.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/21_zpsb72lxmkj.jpg)
"Don't leave him behind! Darr!" shouts Kane.
"He's gone, sir," says Meade over the wind. "He's gone."
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/22_zps9mks2fay.jpg)
"No," cries Kane. "No, let me go! He's still in there!"
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/23_zpswhgfulin.jpg)
"We need to move out, sir!"
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/24_zps4qa1ztnb.jpg)
"Frak me," whispers Haas to himself, watching the temple burn.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/25_zps5ehdgv2q.jpg)
"We have to get to the shuttle," says Kalin over the wind. "Darr is gone!"
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/26_zpsbtbibxoy.jpg)
"I've got point!"" yells the soldier. "Meade, help the Lieutenant! Haas, cover our six. We're leaving!"
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/27_zpseevqbkei.jpg)
Meanwhile, back on the Aberrant Dawn, the vessel's crew is questioned by officers from the Star Destroyer Dark Talon.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/28_zpsd7uhupbw.jpg)
"You are telling me you know that Kane and his men have committed treason?" asks Colonel Elliot.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/29_zpss5xq3hix.jpg)
"Yes-yes they have," says Lieutenant Sumner. "I overheard it during the mission. They've double crossed us all! They met a rebel fugitive, they planned to give us all up. I heard it all-all of it with my own ears. They want us all dead! 'Long live the Empire' I say, and kill these traitorous snakes!"
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/30_zpsqa3rnbsz.jpg)
"Quite interesting. We'll arrest them when their shuttle arrives," she says. "Take him to the brig."
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/31_zpsysxv3al4.jpg)
"What!? You said you would let me go! I gave you the traitors!" cries Sumner.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/32_zpshwhu70h6.jpg)
"I never told you that," smirks the colonel. "You've still intercepted classified mission communications, and committed treason against the Empire yourself."
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/33_zpsroafnon9.jpg)
"No-no!!!!" cries Sumner. "You-said it! This isn't right! I gave you the traitors! It's not fair!!!"
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/34_zpszqsr4jyh.jpg)
"He's right," she smiles. "There isn't much that is fair anymore."
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/35_zps8lscbnga.jpg)
"Sargent, escort me to the bridge. I want to see Captain Brior. He needs to see how a true officer holds command of an Imperial Star Destroyer."
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/36_zps1l27apwz.jpg)
"Come on, get in!" says Kalin over the wind as the men board their shuttle on the planet below.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/37_zpshyhwp0bz.jpg)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/38_zpscfcsjdkn.jpg)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/39_zpsi98r11mz.jpg)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/40_zpsbfchfcby.jpg)
"Goodbye Darr."
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/41_zpsxe3x3dyh.jpg)
"Has her shuttle arrived yet?" whispers Captain Brior. "Is she here?"
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/42_zpsvbrmt0qt.jpg)
"By command of Admiral Gala, commanding officer of the Star Destroyer Dark Talon, I am here to take control of this vessel."
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/43_zpsdcnwuzqc.jpg)
"Captain Brior, I have been asked to remove you from command, do you comply?"
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/44_zpsbcjogron.jpg)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/45_zpsxfmsno3d.jpg)
"Do you comply?" she repeats.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/46_zpsl4m4ziqz.jpg)
"I do."
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/47_zpszuc3oszx.jpg)
"Good." The officer turns to the crew members. "Everyone, I'll have your attention. I am Colonel Elliot. Soon one of your shuttles will return to this ship. Aboard are traitors to the Empire. Instruct them to land in docking bay 7. That is all."
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/48_zpswyucrx5d.jpg)
The colonel turns to her Stormtrooper escort. "You and your man stay here. Have a squad meet me in bay 7-"
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/49_zpsouclrnvl.jpg)
"Sir," cries Corporal Volgrin, bursting into the room. "Captain Brior, they've taken Sumner to the brig, he's being tried for-"
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/50_zpszgdfrdia.jpg)
"Treason, my dear," Colonel Elliot interrupts with a sly tongue. "He is a traitor, and he will receive full punishment just as he deserves: death."
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/51_zpsnhpiqb4m.jpg)
"What? You can't do that!" Volgrin says crying. "He deserves-"
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/52_zpsdgfozdmq.jpg)
"Alyaa, stop." says Brior sternly.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/53_zps5umaxszj.jpg)
"She can't do this captain! There's no grounds for it!" says Volgrin. "Sumner isn't a traitor!"
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/54_zpsdgbxcxej.jpg)
"He is," the colonel commands. "Take her to the brig as well."
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/55_zpshvyumg4t.jpg)
The young officer resists the troopers as they attempt to take her into custody.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/56_zps5lpbbj8z.jpg)
"Watch her!"
"Grab her arm!"
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/57_zps6ijqpzta.jpg)
"Corporal, calm down!" says Brior.
"You can't do this! You can't!" she cries. "Captain, they can't!"
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/58_zpshtxd6f7i.jpg)
"I can, and I will," says Colonel Elliot, watching.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/59_zpslyefsdno.jpg)
"No-no! Stop it!" Volgrin says as the scuffle continues.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/60_zpsaljgobk7.jpg)
"You-" She yells at the Colonel. "You're terrible! I hope you die! Stop it!" she cries as she fights the men. "You can go crawl back in whatever sarlacc pit spit you-"
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/61_zpsjhxsp5x5.jpg)

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/63_zpsyb5ippvs.jpg)
"If anyone else aboard this vessel impedes my command of this ship, I will, by order of the Imperial Security Bureau, shoot them on sight with no further warning."
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/64_zpshvdj49i9.jpg)
"Now," Colonel Elliot says taking a breath. "Carry on."
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/jodok/EOD%20Ch6/67_zpsmfpezmvp.jpg)
The colonel turns on her heels as the blast door opens in front of her.
