Lukelooked in the indicted direction, smiled grimly, and rushed down it as Solo starteddown the opposing passage. Luke found himself in a large rotating bubble protruding from the side of theship. A long, wicked looking tube whose purpose was instantly apparent projectedfrom the apex of the transparent hemisphere. Luke settled himself into the seat andcommenced a rapid study of the controls. Activator here, firing grip here…He hadfired such weapons a thousand times before—in his dreams.
