At the Apartment
Corik and Master Edem pulled up to the landing platform and hopped out of the speeder. Corik rechecked the directions they had been given to make sure this was the right house, but his teacher assured him it was.
The apartment was run-down. The door wasn’t automatic or even electronic, something unheard of in the modern world, especially in this sector of Coruscant. There were scratches and huge sections of rust that made it stand-out from the small buildings around it. If a resistance member lived here, Corik thought, he couldn’t have been very well off.
Master Edem moved toward the door, resting himself on the wall next to it. He motioned for Corik to move forward, for his teacher planned on opening the door and letting him in first. Great Corik thought, just the test I need on my first dangerous mission.
Corik felt Master Edem’s movement in his head a second before the door swung open. Corik leapt in. His eyes darted back and forth, finding the threat almost immediately. Three security cannons had activated themselves almost instantly after he entered, and were finding their target. Corik reached for his lightsaber as he found the small control panel at the back of the room. On it he could read the inscription on two of the levers. One of them was the “On/Off” switch, the other the “Power” lever. His mind worked in milliseconds.
He could deflect the imminent blaster fire from the cannons to hopefully destroy them. He could pull or push one of the switches to turn it off or try to overload the power circuits. Of course, he could always just throw his lightsaber at the thing to destroy it, or even throw it at the cannons. He acted on instinct, and he did it (for the first time) without the help of Master Edem.
