study," Chip said, putting his hands on his metallic hips, "I see that our truant student has finally returned to start school at Dagobah Tech."
    "Missing school was an accident, Chip," Ken replied. "I couldn’t help it."
    "A likely story," Chip said sternly. "A very likely story indeed."
    As the guards took Triclops toward an entrance into DRAPAC, Ken glanced at the Imperial prisoner. Ken couldn’t help but wonder why the Empire had decided to keep Triclops alive for all these years, especially since the Empire considered him to be such a threat.
    Could Triclops prove to be a threat to the Alliance as well? Were these really the last days of the Alliance, as in Kadann’s recent prophecy?
    When the dragon pack,
    Perched upon Yoda’s stony back,
    Receives a visitor pierced by gold,
    Then come the last days of the Rebel Alliance.
    A visitor had been pierced by gold. And now the son of the evil Emperor Palpatine was in their midst, claiming to be a pacifist who wanted to destroy his father’s Empire.
    It was all too troublesome for a boy of twelve to dwell on, especially when Leia distracted him by reaching over and mussing up his moppy brown hair.
    Ken and Leia both grinned, breaking into wide smiles at the same instant. It was a good feeling, Ken thought-to be back with all his friends from SPIN, sheltered at the mountaintop fortress on the planet that the wise Jedi master Yoda once called home. It was a good feeling indeed.

    Carbonite
    A substance made from Tibanna gas, plentiful on the planet Bespin, where it is mined and sold in liquid form as a fuel in Cloud City. When carbonite is turned into a solid, it can be used for keeping humans or other organisms alive in a State of suspended animation, encasing them completely. Zorba the Hutt encased Trioculus in carbonite, just as Darth Vader did to Han Solo in The Empire Strikes Back.
