A battered and barely functioning Imperial Tie Fighter comes into sensor range of the station. Venting plasma, it approaches the ReBeL docking bay. "I wonder where all the RBL are" the pilot wonders,"I should have been intercepted long before this." Getting no response from station personel, the pilot sends out a coded paasword to the automated system. Amazingly, the bay opens and the fighter lands, if it can be called a landing, in a heap on the hanger floor. "Ooooo, Tanker's engineers are going to have a fit when they see THIS mess" thinks the pilot. After several minutes of jimmying, the ships hatch finally opens and the pilot steps out. Shreads of an Imperial Officer's uniform hang from the figure, doing little to conceal the armored undergarments remaining. "I didn't think the poor ship was going to make it", she thinks. "Some homecoming. I wonder where everyone is?" Curious, she heads down the corridor to Aslan's bar.
