Luke and Leia had started back up the corridor when a series of blindingexplosion ripped the walkway ahead of them. Several troopers had tried comingthrough the elevator, only to be crisped one after another by Chewbacca. Disdainingthe elevators, they had blasted a gaping hole through a wall. The opening was toolarge for Solo and the Wookie to cover completely. In twos and threes, the Imperialswere working their way into the detention block. Retreating down the walkway, Han and Chewbacca encountered Luke and thePrincess. "We can't go back that way!" Solo told them, his face flushed withexcitement and worry. "No, it looks like you've managed to cut off our only escape route," Leia agreedreadily. "This is a detention area, you know. They don't build them with multipleexits." Breathing heavily, Solo turned to look her up and down. "Begging yourforgiveness, Your Highness," he said sarcastically, "but maybe you'd prefer it back inyour cell?" She looked away, her face impassive. "There's got to be another way out," Luke muttered, pulling a small transmitterunit from his belt and carefully adjusting the frequency: "See Threepio…SeeThreepio!" a familiar voice responded with gratifying speed. "Yes, sir?" "We've been cut off here. Are there any other ways out of the detention area—anything at all?" Static crackled over the tiny grid as Solo and Chewbacca kept the imperial troopsbottled up at the other end of the walkway. "What was that…? I didn't copy."
