Don't mind at all, Phoebe! On the JMMB (sob) Ninja was constantly making "updates" on his profile, like being able to fly, being telepathetic, being perfect in math. . . feel free, so long as it isn't too extravagant. . .



Chapter Thirteen, cont'd



Copper was puzzled. How could Alpha get IN the Star Destroyer? She didn't understand until Blacksheep finally turned the nav over to Kaz. The first thing the bird did was to try to contact Alpha with his nav com.

"Assassin to unknown, come in," he called, and was rewarded by static. Then a pre-recorded voice came on.

[b]"Please give the 'password', Assassin, before proceeding."[b/] Shinyso looked up from outside and mouthed "Diamondus forever, no more." Ducky looked stricken, but Kaz calmly repeated Shinyso's words.

"Diamondus forever, no more." The voice did not come back on. Instead, a youngish rabbit flickered up onto the view-screen. Her voice didn't have the echo that the recorded one did. In fact, she sounded quite normal.

"Silken Swift to Assassin, over," she said, and Copper nodded in approval. Kaz got right to the point.

"Are you Alpha?" The red rabbit stiffened, then cocked her head to one side.

"Yes. Who are you?" Claw glanced over at Copper, who shrugged and answered for Kaz.

"I am the pilot, Coppertop, this is my gunner Claw, and Kaz is the navigator. I assume you know where you are headed, Silken Swift?" The rabbit looked stunned for a moment, then regained her dignity.

"I do, Assassin. Thank you for your concern on my behalf. Prepare to make a pit-stop. . ."



Short, but it'll do for now. Seeya, guys!
