Chapter 16

What do you find?
Danger, and Dangerous Cargo
You manage to avoid any gunfights on your way to the secret holds, but you have more than a few close calls. This ship is filling with soldiers quickly. It's dangerous, but you can't afford to blow your cover with Tekka. You move as quickly and quietly as you can, until suddenly Tekka tugs your arm excitedly.
"It's here," she whispers excitedly, sliding a wall panel aside to reveal a keypad. She punches in some numbers, and the whole panel slides to the side, revealing a narrow ladder leading down to a below deck storage hatch. You climb down a few steps eagerly despite yourself. Maybe this would be a good find. Would it be precious metals? Priceless artwork? Coaxium?
About halfway down the ladder you are able to see the cargo, and immediately turn around and climb back up. Tekka looks at you, confused.
"Yeah, this ship is loaded proton bombs. Big ones. Like, military grade, blow holes in capital ships, huge ass torpedoes."
"Is that... bad?"
"Well we're definately not stealing them, that's for damn sure." It also explains why everyone's so jumpy, you think. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to jam that many highly explosive warheads into a hold like that? They clearly wanted to move as many weapons as possible, as quickly as possible. You'd guess it would only take one missile, hitting one weak point, to blow this whole ship (and probably half of this docking district) straight to hell. "We can't carry them, and getting caught with weapons like these would get us sent away for roughly all of time."
"What do we do?"
"We cut our losses and run. If they pick up on the fact we might have seen it, they will definately **** us."
You expected her to be more scared. Instead her eyes actually seem to light up. She did say she wanted adventure. This is turning into enough for several lifetimes.
As if on cue, you hear shouting voices from an adjacent corridor. Shit. The two of you take off at a sprint, but the overlarge coat trips up your Twi'lek companion.
You haul her to her feet, but the delay lets the security team close on you. You pull the coat off of Tekka, exposing her completely but freeing her movement. You run again, seemingly in circles until Tekka suddenly veers to the side and pulls you into a hidden storage hatch.
The hatch seems to go unnoticed by your pursuers, probably because it is so tiny. Pressed inside, the two of you are pressed together so closely you can barely move. You muse that there are worse things than having a naked Twi'lek's tits pressed into your chest, but try to banish the thought for a later time.
The guards pass, but patrols are moving back and forth outside. You need a plan to move forward.
