Dave started to leave the tent, but it occurred to him that it would look better if he took Theo's gun. He did so, slipping the heavy disruptor pistol into his belt. He knew how to use it; his mother had been an Imperial Marine, and had made sure her husband and children knew how to handle all the weapons she'd been trained on. He checked to be sure the area was clear, then left the tent.
He'd known it would be bad, the sounds hadn't left any doubt of that but knowing didn't make it any easier to watch an Imperial Ranger being beaten, maybe to death. Dave's first impulse was to start shooting, but even as he reached for the disruptor in his belt he realized that would do more harm than good.
The heavy disruptor cannon swinging to take aim at the little ship's main hatch was an entirely different matter, though. A small cannon of that type could do serious damage, and one this size would simply separate ship and contents into their component atoms. But that was something Thark could handle.
The only alternative he could see to playing decoy was using the cave as a fort if the rebels found them, and that didn't sound much better now than it had the first time he'd thought of it. One disruptor without even a single spare powerpack wasn't much to build hopes on.
We will remain in touch as necessary by wrist communicators, which will be issued as soon as we are finished here. "I have ordered a disruptor mounted on the lander we will be using. Lieutenant DarLeras, Ranger Medart tells me you are a pilot; since we do not have such a specialist, I would like you to fill that position as well as the combat one you agreed to earlier.
Especially when you were a commoner, the someone else was royalty, and a powerful noble a crazy, traitorous noble would stop at nothing to recapture him. Dave glanced across the cave to the small ledge where he'd put the disruptor out of the way, but easy to get to and shivered.
