Death Star: episode #19 The News and Vader’s Plans
Previously: After we have left the factory, Luke’s Aunt Beru finds us. Beru agrees to let me come with her and Luke as long as Owen agrees to it. We are on our way to Tatooine as Luke’s aunt yells at him. Also, Samantha and Wicket have a little talk. An Imperial Probe droid has been seen on Endor. At the same time, Darth Vader orders the Admiral to turned the ship back towards Coruscant.
“I thought we were going to the Death Star.” “I’ve changed my mind…I’ll be going there after I have done what I wanted on Coruscant…now turn the ship around NOW. Is that clear?” “Yes, Lord Vader.” “Good.” The ship is turned around and they go back o Coruscant. Vader goes to the Emperor’s chambers without bothering to contact him. Vader knows his master hates it when eh does that, but Vader gets a kick out of it. The Emperor sensed Vader’s presence, and Vader knew he would. “Back so soon?” Vader kneels before the Emperor. “Yes, my master.” “Rise my servant. What is it that you would disturb me when you know I don’t like it?” “Well, I encountered a Maurder on my way to the Death Star. And…” (Vader stopped. HE wasn’t so sure he wanted to tell the Emperor now.) “Yes. I’m waiting, Vader, my patience is just about through with everything. The Death Star tactical plans have disappeared.” This was new s to Vader. “I wasn’t aware of that. Well, I questioned the Maurder about the Maurder Plans…and I didn’t get much out of him, however I plan to…” “There is something you are not telling me. What is it.” Vader was hoping the Emperor wouldn’t’ detect this. Vader had no choice now, he had to tell him. “Only that this Maurder is…(he stopped again to roll his eyes as he stopped himself from saying something else) Anakin’s father.” Vader rushed ahead before the Emperor had a change to reply. “Don’t worry, he ash no Force since he’s a Maurder. I was planning on creating a torture chamber and to torture the plans out of him. I placed a tracker on his ship, and when the torture chamber’s done, I’m coming to get him.” The Emperor smiled his evil smile. “Good,” thought Vader. He wasn’t entirely certain how the Emperor would take it. “I like your way of thinking, Lord Vader.” Vader bowed and was just about to leave when Gwythaint Hate rushed in. The subject of Gwythaints is something I haven’t mentioned in Death Star. Unlike in all the other stories, gwythaints are not good creatures in the story. They are Imperial spies for the Empire. All those against the Empire fear them…they’re still these same species of animals that’s been in it before; it’s just that the time has changed. Gwythaint Hate that is the leader of them all. He is the one that reports directly to the Empire. Anyway, Gwythaint Hate rushes in. “While my team has not found the Rebel Base with those probes you had us send out, we did find something else. While searching on the Planet Endor, we came across the Queen of the Old Republic…the one form Coruscant, Queen Samantha.” The Emperor sat back in his seat to try to take in the information while looking to Vader for a reaction. Dearth Vader flinched. This was one person Vader did not want to see or hear about. He looked at the Emperor and saw that the Emperor was staring at him. “Would you like to have her captured, Master? My men can do that. I’m sure she probably is part of the Rebellion. I can arrange it if that is your wish.” The Emperor focused his eyes to look beyond Vader at the wall in back of him. “Yes, that would be a good idea. Capture her immediately.” The Emperor had reasons beyond Vader’s for getting a hold of her…reasons that Vader did not know about, which is exactly how the Emperor wanted things. “May I go to the Death Star first to see how the plans are coming along.” The Emperor’s reply was, “Yes, go ahead. I don’t care. Just get everything done. I also want to check into the tactical plans. Perhaps you can learn more about those by visiting the Death Star.” Vader says, “Yes, Master.” Upon Vader’s exit, he also knew the Emperor was hiding something from him. Vader would never dare to ask him something like that. “I’ll just have to find out myself…” Vader said to himself. And that’s just what he intended on doing as he got back on his ship to travel to the Death Star. Darth Vader also knew that he had a lot to do. Endor, Blue Wasters, Death Star, and Tatooine were the places he had to go. Next time back to Luke, me, and the droids along with something about certain smugglers.
