Prelude: Forced Labor

In the final days of the Clone Wars Dark Lord of the Sith, Palpatine issued Order 66. The clone troopers throughout the galaxy turned on the Jedi and began killing them. Darth Vader marched on the Jedi Temple and with the 501st Legion eradicated the Jedi Order.

Yet not every Jedi was caught in the purge as a small number escaped into hiding. The Inquisitorius was born, Force-sensitive agents working for the Empire to hunt down the remaining Jedi and wipe them out. For nearly twenty years the Empire has expanded without Jedi opposition, until now...

The stormtrooper pauses for a moment, he taps his communication piece near his ear, "Yes Sir."

"You droid, you and your prisoner are to come with me for a complete diagnostic. You are both under our custody now."

They motion at your with their rifles to put your hands up and move along.

Not sure what to do, Gavin runs the situation through in his head, which he is sure K5 has beat him to it. Four of them, with several more likely not far away. Three of us, one of which is not armed. Sighing as his shoulders slump as he puts his hands up, "As the droid here said, it was escorting me as I got lost, nothing more."
Number Two: "You are number six."
Number Six: "I am not a number, I am a free man!"
Number Two: "Muh ha ha ha ha!"

K5 stands there inert. His programming tells him to protect Gavin at all costs. He attempts to calculate the best measure to do that, but K5 is also programmed to do 'the right thing', or as best a droid can measure it. Handing over someone fleeing the Empire did not meet those constraints. Therefore, the droid allows Gavin to make the judgement. K5 remains quiet.

"Escort him where? Doesn't matter come on." The white armored solider motions you both forward, "I'll take you to see the lieutenant." He steps up and grabs Gavin on the shoulder and pushes him forward some. The other three stand there watching, only half paying attention. "You droid go into the shuttle bay and get a full diagnostic. We'll handle the prisoner from here."

Navine, pokes her head around the corner, takes in the situation and pulls it back. Damn they are going to give me up! Gavin's going to rat me out! She flips her blaster to the max setting gathering up the courage to attack.

"Hey! Take it easy! Your the one with the weapon," Gavin proclaims. "I don't understand what the problem is. I was told to report to the hanger bay, got twisted around in these blasted hallways and wouldn't you know it, this helpful imperial droid helped me out."
Number Two: "You are number six."
Number Six: "I am not a number, I am a free man!"

The Stormtrooper hisses through his mask, "Shut up prisoner." He nudges Gavin forward with the barrel of his blaster. "Just move." The other three form up around Gavin and escort him down the hall branch away from the shuttle bay, "To the Lieutenant with you."

One reminds the droid, "Shuttle bay for you, the techs can run a diagnostic on you there." The hall to the shuttle bay goes the other way than where Gavin is heading.

K5 will never let me hear the end of it if we all get put away without a fight. Gavin quickly turns around and with the base of his palm attempts to jab it into the face of the Stormtrooper. With his other hand he attempts to grab and dislodge him from his blaster.

"K5, now! Navine!"
Number Two: "You are number six."
Number Six: "I am not a number, I am a free man!"
Number Two: "Muh ha ha ha ha!"

K5 immediately obeys. He swings his huge, metallic, hand down toward the top of one of the Stormtroopers' helmet. The droid does not hesitate or resist putting full force into the blow. "Behind me, master!" K5 did not have his riot shield with him, or his club, or his shotgun. That would not deter the droid from bashing this Stormtroopers with his fists to the best of his ability.

Gavin decides its now or never, and he breaks free, slams his fist into the armored helm of the Stormtrooper and calls for help from his companions. The blow doesn't do anything to the heavily armored solider but he manages to put himself in a spot so the others can open fire on them.

K5 obeys the command and slams his fist into the chest of the enemy trooper. He lands a nice strong hit that could almost have cracked the armor, but it holds, and the man under it isn't phased by it.

Then there is a blast, pew, and Navine is standing at the corner, her blaster in hand, having just grazed one of the troopers with her shot leaving a smoke stain on the shoulder of the white armor.

The trooper take a moment to recover from their surprise, then they open fire on Gavin. He does his best to avoid the volley of heavy blaster fire, but his leg is clipped and he staggers from the hat blaster fire as he's wounded lightly in the leg.

K5's KS-23 Hammer is swung up from its hiding place and aimed at the Stormtroopers. "Please back up, master," the droid says, waiting with his shotgun pointed toward the troopers. K5 takes two large steps backward, putting the Stormtroopers in range of his attack.

K5's secret compartment flips open and ejects Gavin's lightsaber, K5 immediately hands it over.

Once completed, and Gavin is out of the way, K5 fires his shotgun with deadly intent.
