In a village near the castle, a steam engine blew it's whistle, pulling seven hopper cars. Once the train was gone, it was safe for John, and his men to cross the tracks. They had to pass between two more freight cars, marked for the Imperials.
Morris: You know Major, I thought this galaxy got rid of trains over 200 years ago.
John: Not on this planet. They're preserved for recreational, and educational purposes. Let's go into the depot across the street.
Song: link
Quickly, and quietly, John and the others got to the depot. John held the door open for the others as he watched to make sure no Imperials spotted him. Once the other five got in, John walked in, and closed the door.
Barkley, Thomas, Christianson: *Putting their bags on a shelf*
Jott: *Puts his bag next to Barkley's*
Morris & John: *Put their bags on a different shelf*
Next, they took off their snow suits, once again revealing their Imperial Officer uniforms.
Morris & John: *Putting on their Officer hats, and grey winter coats*
Jott: *Puts on his hat, and wearing a camouflage sweater*
Barkley, Thomas, Christianson: *Also wearing camouflage sweaters over their Imperial Officer uniforms*
They left their E-11's with the bags so they wouldn't look suspicious, but kept their silenced blasters with them.
John: *Walks towards the door*
Others: *Following John*
John: *Signals them to stop*
Others: *Waiting behind John*
John: *Puts his hand on the door knob, and slowly opens the door*
Stop the song. John looked around to make sure no one was watching them. He only saw three storm troopers walk into an orange building across the street.
John: *Signals the others to follow him outside*
Others: *Following John outside*
An IFT-D passed with three storm troopers inside. It began to cross a bridge.
IFT-D's picture: link
John: *Signals the others to follow him. They cross the same bridge*
A clock tower began to ring, and another train was heard.
John: *Looking at the IFT-D in front of them*
Driver: *Getting checked by another storm trooper at a security gate*
Morris: *Looks at the gate*
Storm Trooper Guard: *Raises the gate, letting the IFT-D pass*
John: *Watching the IFT-D speed away from them*
Imperial Officers: *Walking by*
Storm Trooper Guard: *Lowers the gate* Halt. Show me your papers.
John: I've been here many times of course, so it's not like the guard to forget me.
Storm Trooper Guard: *Raises the gate*
John: These five are with me.
Storm Trooper Guard: Yes sir. *Watches the six of them pass*
John: I also remember having the toughest instructor when I was first recruited in the outer rim.
Morris: Yeah, I think I had him too. What was his name anyway?
John: Fred.
Morris: Fred? Oh yeah I remember Fred. Dark skinned human with a big mustache.
Storm Troopers: *Pass them in an Imperial Troop Transport*
They walked into the center of the village. It was busy with many different creatures, and speeders going in all directions. It was very loud too since almost everyone was talking at the same time.
Storm Troopers: *Driving an IFT-T through the village, passing two Imperial Troop Transports*
John: *Looks a bar marked Alpine* We'll try here. If this place is the same as the rest of this planet, there should be lots of Imperials inside. Keep your ears open for anything about General Carnaby. We'll meet back here in half an hour.
