Tec took the offered gummy and thanked her, popping it into his mouth. Then he looked at her, his grin fading somewhat though still there. "Jerusha, I see many things about the future; both of this trip and of many others, and there are more possibilities that I have seen through the Force than I want to even think about." He noticed she frowned deeply after his words, and he added, "I guess you could say I have sensed and seen what they have, though in a bit of a different manner. 'The future is always in motion'. Some of them are good, and some bad. If you really want to know what I think, I'm gonna say...that ths trip was a waste, in a way of speaking, and that this warrior could be any one of us, or even somebody not here, and the danger could be anything. I don't like it, but there's a lot of things I don't like, like this subject." He turned away from her for a second to look out in space, and saw a huge, huge set of asteroids coming fast and close. "Crap," he said, and then turned back quickly. "Jerusha, take the controls of the, uh, cockpit guns," and he motioned to something in the middle of the dash. "Rusty, whoever is not doing anything, get begind the quad lasers, and whoever's left, get up here. Now!" The last he yelled quickly.

Cairo jerked awake just in time to hear "not doing anything, get behind the quad lasers"....

"I'm on it, Tec!", she called out, jumping out of her chair and sliding down into the gunner's seat. She took the controls and slipped on the headseat-com. "Fireheart? I'll worry 'bout my side of the ship, you guys up top worry 'bout y'alls." Cairo always seemed to slip into her Corellian drawl when she was under pressure.

She readied to blast away any o' the 'stroids that held danger for the ship...

Rusty immediately ran to the front of the ship. Pulling Dravin by the arm to come with him

"Holy Mother of...Tec...if any of these asteroids get by us, they could spell certain doom for Dellalt. I know you think this trip is a waste, but there's no time for that now. What can we do?"

Rusty spoke fast and glanced out the window toward Dellalt, the safety of his people on his mind, as well as the safety of his crew.

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Dravin almost tripped as Rusty drug him along to the cockpit. He saw the large group of asteriods right in front of the freighters path.<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

"The Force will aid us master."

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> He reached out with the Force and nudged one of the asteriods into another. As they collided together, they sent each other off course away from Dellalt.<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

"looks like trarget practice. Cairo? I'm sure Han took you on a few of these.... You take one gun, i got the other?"

Jerusha sent several lasers stabbing towards the asteroids. A few of them made contact, turning the targets into small chunks of rock. "Watch out for debris, Tec." She felt a small twinge of fear that there were too many for them to handle, but she pushed it away. <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Fear is of the darkside!<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

"You got it, Han...just like target practice."

Cairo swiveled back and forth in he gunner chair, fireing the quad lasers makeing the asteroids break into smaller peices...she kept shooting till they were down to a harmless size, that would burn-up in Dellalt atmosphere if they came near it.

"Watch it, Skywalker! Big one comming your way." Cairo got a shot at it and broke it in-two, but the peices were still rather huge 'stroids...

"Asteroid? Big? This is like shooting womprats back home." Hans mirked, as he spoke, and vlew the asteroid into spacedust. " Watch it, you got one coming in from the side." He shoutedd, as he fired at it, breaking it up partially and it still headed toward Cairo.

With a few zaps from the quad lasers, that asteriod was also nothing but spaceparticles...

"Woohoo!", Cairo let out a little war whoop as asteriod after asteriod blew-up into nothingingness.

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Now THIS is more like it!<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->, she thought to herself.

Rusty took a stance on the other side of the ship, opposite from Dravin and also pushed the boulders and pieces of boulders, back away from Dellalt. He sighed hard.

"This is why we need those turbo lasers built quickly..."

Rusty picked up his comm unit and spoke quickly.

"Malloy, come in. This is Rusty. There's an asteroid belt headed for Dellalt. We're doing what we can, but one ship isn't enough. Activate the Planetary shield. It may help to break the pieces up."

Rusty then returned to his task of pushing rocks, with Dravin
