"Reformed, eh?"

Alex lowered the lightsaber to the floor but kept it activated. Giving the Sue a distrustful look, the Agent glanced at the now-closed RC door before looking back at the other three Agents.

"Now what? Are we just going to cower in here and hope those imposters go away?" he demanded, conveniently forgetting his own flight moment earlier.

Chase had just opened her mouth to reply when footsteps began echoing off the Suevian Surface corridor outside. All of the Agents froze as the footsteps came closer and closer.

"Clear." a high-pitched, irritatingly sweet voice called, its owner moving closer as it did so. There was the creak of an RC door opening.

"Clear."

The EPCer was only one door away now.

"Clea-what's this?" the Suevian Agent cried, triumph in her voice.

"Please...don't hurt me. Please!"

There was a blaster shot and a cut-off, agonized scream.

"What's going on, honey?" a deeper voice asked.

"Nothing, lovemuffin. Just one of those PPC murderers. She's in the great RC in the sky now."

The two Suevians laughed. Cal clenched his fists, shaking with anger, a reaction shared by the other Agents.

The Sue walked over to RC 25.

"It's locked," she called to her partner. "Alohomor-"

She was cut off when Alex pressed his lightsaber against the door up to its hilt. There was a gurgle, followed by a wet smack.

"Honey?" the Stu called, then gasped. "Backup!"
