The lead trooper leans back and starts looking critical, but then suddenly jerks his face up. Emerging from somewhere in the spaceport, beyond the walls, is a great gout of smoke and flame. A couple of seconds later, a shuddering boom wafts over Eldrith and Zo. They can feel the difference in air pressure as the shockwave passes.

The troopers seem stunned at first. One grips the side of his helmet and then says "HQ we've got two aliens on speeders who were headed to the port. Request orders." After a moment, the trooper nods, then looks at Eldrith and Zo. "You stay away from the port. We've got an emergency." His words are punctuated by another blast of smoke and flame, followed by another boom from the second shockwave.

Yijz is hiding in the dumpster when it is rocked by the sound of an explosion. The blast makes his ears ring, and it feels like the dumpster moved from the pressure of the blast. He hears shouting outside, some muffled by the sounds of Imperial helmets. The zooming of speeders follows, and then it is quiet... for a moment. Then there is a second, equally loud, explosion. Yijz is jarred inside of the dumpster as the the container is shoved against the wall of a building by the second shockwave.
