at Luke and Han. The stormtroopers broke ranks and scattered.
Triclops’s assassin droid was struck by a blast from a stormtrooper’s portable laser cannon. His metal parts shattered, hurled everywhere from the cavern ceiling to the craggy floor.
Riding antigravity carts through the tunnels, Luke, Han, Ken, Threepio, Triclops, and the Duro archaeologists finally reached the stairwell, in advance of the deadly flow. The crates with relics were then hastily transported up the tunnel stairwell inside the mountain, all the way to the surface where they were to be stowed aboard the transport ship.
"I’ve got a really bad feeling about this," Han said, as he suddenly realized that the transport ship was no longer where they had left it.
"Oh dear, perhaps some Imperials ambushed the ship and took it, with Princess Leia and Chewbacca inside," Threepio exclaimed, waving his arms wildly in dismay.
But the Corellian Transport suddenly came into view through the thick clouds above the mountains. Leia guided the ship back into the valley for a smooth landing, with Chewbacca copiloting.
The moment Luke climbed up the ramp and boarded the ship, Leia hugged her brother. "Luke, you’re safe!" she exclaimed. "And so are we, but just barely. An Imperial probe droid flew overhead and spotted us just after you left. We blasted off to take it out of action."
"We’d better get this ship off the ground fast," Han said, as the archaeologists stowed their crates of relics onto the transport ship, "before any Imperials find us and realize we’ve filled the storage hold with the treasures of Duro."
"Han and I will navigate, Chewie," Princess Leia said. "I think Han still doesn’t believe how well I can fly a Corellian Action VI Transport spaceship. Shall I show him?"
"Grooooarf!" Chewbacca agreed, tucking his furry hands behind his head and putting his feet up on the console.
Han gave Leia a kiss on the cheek. "Are you ready, copilot?" he asked her. "Go ahead and power up."
As the ship lifted from the ground, it tipped and vibrated from all the weight now aboard.
Never had a Corellian Action VI Transport been so packed, from the cargo hold all the way to the passenger lounge.
"I want you to know," Triclops said, sitting next to Luke, "that if the day ever comes that I sit upon the Imperial throne as my father did, I’ll force the Empire to pay for what it did to the planet Duro. I’ll take the Empire apart, brigade by brigade, one mechanized army at a time, until the Dark Side is completely powerless."
"That’s a nice dream," Luke said.
"My dreams shall become real," Triclops replied.
"You’ve helped us so far," Luke said. "Still, you’ll have to prove yourself to the Alliance. Mon Mothma will have to keep you under guard, I’m afraid, until she’s convinced beyond any doubt that you’re not a spy."
But Triclops was no longer listening. All three of his eyes were now closed, and he drifted off, falling into a deep sleep.
A few days later, the misty clouds of Dagobah parted as two spaceships came zooming toward the peak of Mount Yoda: the Millennium Falcon, which had been fully repaired at Orbiting Shipyard Alpha, and the Corellian Action VI Transport with the treasures of Duro aboard.
At the landing pad the members of the returning mission from Mount Yoda were greeted by Mon Mothma and Ken’s personal droid, Chip. As Luke had warned, guards surrounded Triclops and took him in custody for observation. Triclops did not resist. To Luke and Leia’s astonishment, they then saw Dustini walking briskly over to them from the main DRAPAC
building.
Having recovered with the help of Alliance medical droids, Dustini hugged Dustangle and the other Duro archaeologists. As he beheld the storehouse of treasures in the cargo hold, Dustini’s eyes widened in amazement.
"Thank you, Luke-thank you, everyone!" Dustini said. "Now the history of our planet Duro will be preserved, to be studied by future generations."
