Chapter Three
Jayna's and Plo Koon's ship blasted into hyperspace, headed for Coruscant.

Plo was in the cockpit, tapping away at a console. "I wonder why Sereca Bindi turned to the dark side. In the time that I knew her, it never seemed like she had been tempted."

Jayna didn't say anything, merely staring at the scanner, while Zee accidentally bashed into a wall and made a few annoyed beeping noises.

Plo glanced at the droid a moment, somewhat amused (though he did not show it), then looked at Jayna. "Is there something wrong?"

"The scanners are detecting something not too far away from this hyperspace route, but they can't tell what it is. And I don't know why, but I sense something in the Force. Like... an echo."

"I sense it now too," Plo spoke. "Odd how we couldn't sense it while on Geonosis. We should investigate. I'm dropping us out of hyperspace now."

Their ship quickly slowed to light speed.

Zee made a few curious beeping noises.

"A ship, apparently," Plo told the droid, looking out the cockpit window. Ahead of their ship was a small, somewhat decrepit Dynamic-class freighter.

Jayna, frowning at the scanner, didn't say anything. Zee made a few beeping noises.

"It looks like this ship was attacked recently," Plo replied. He paused a minute and said to himself quietly, "The echo in the Force... it feels like it's becoming weaker..."

Their ship moved slowly but surely towards the freighter.

Suddenly there was the sound of static on a comm unit in the cockpit of their ship. This was followed by a voice saying, "Ship damaged... life support close to failing... If anyone can hear me, please help!" With that, the message ended, and only the sound of static remained.

Zee made a lot of alarmed beeping noises. "What was that?!"

"A distress signal," Plo replied. "I sense someone on board, but very faintly. We should investigate. I'll activate the tractor beam and pull the ship in so we can get on board. But we should be prepared, in case the person on that freighter is an enemy."

He activated the tractor beam as he spoke and the freighter was pulled closer slowly. Within a matter of seconds, it was close enough to be boarded safely.

Zee made a few beeping noises. "Are you sure about this?"

Jayna got up from where she was sitting and quickly ran to a door.

Plo looked at the droid and said, "No. But something in the Force tells me that this is important. I don't why, though." With that, he stood up and walked towards the door Jayna had run to. The rusty door slid open with a few squeaks, revealing the entrance to the freighter.
