John walked outside. He took a look at the dark sky above him. It began to snow again, but the flakes were slower than the previous ones.

John: *Goes to the right. He walks into a shed next to the house*
???: *Cocks a DL44 Blaster*

Song: link

John: *Hears the blaster, and slowly lights a lantern with a match. After lighting the lantern, he blows out the match*
Mary: Halt.
John: *Stops moving*
Mary: *Holding the DL44, pointing it at John* Turn around.
John: *Turns around, and looks at Mary*
Mary: *Puts her blaster away* Took your time getting here.
John: We had some trouble upon landing. Did you make it here alright?
Mary: Hardly, I nearly froze to death on that damn shuttle. *Walks towards John* Why couldn't you have provided me with a warm white heated suit? I thought you loved me.
John: You made it here alright, didn't you?
Mary: Is that all the greeting I'm going to get?
John: I'm afraid so, for the time being. My radio operator was killed.
Mary: What happened?

The song fades away as the conversation continues.

John: He was hit in the neck, either with the back end of a lightsaber, or a blaster. It was badly bruised, which means someone hit him immediately after we landed, and made it look like an accident. I don't know who it was yet, but I will find out. Now listen. I'm gonna take the group across the woods, down into the village. In that village is a bar called Alpine. Behind it is a wood shed called Heizung liefert. Meet me there at 8 O' Clock tomorrow night. *Opens Mary's suitcase, and pulls out one of her panties* Well, I see you came fully prepared.
Mary: Never mind that, how do you know all these things? The village, the alpine bar, and Heizung liefert?
John: *Walks to the lantern*
Mary: I'm entitled to know.
John: You're entitled to know, nothing. *Blows out the lantern's lights*
Mary: We've been working together for three years now, and I'm a professional.
John: *Goes back to Mary* So am I.
Mary: If I were the marrying kind-
John: *Kisses Mary*
Mary: *Hugging John* I thought you were in a hurry.
John: I was, and I still am.

Back inside the house, Morris was taking apart an E11, to make sure it was working properly. Jott was also awake, looking out a window. Everyone else was asleep.

John: *Walks out of the shed, and back into the house*
Morris: *Hears the door open, and pulls out his silenced blaster*

John: *Looks at Morris*
Morris: *Puts his blaster away when he sees John* What kept you?
John: Well I was about to receive the notebook, when a group of Korienas arrived. I had to use my blaster to scare them away. Anyway, thanks for waiting up for me. *Sits down, and turns on the radio*
Morris: No problem. *Begins to put the E11 back together*
John: Lieutenant, why don't you get some sleep? It's almost dawn. *Looks back at Jott* You too Jott.
Morris: I figured I'd wait for you.
John: *Listens to the radio. There is nothing, but static* I can't hear anything.
Morris: Probably the storm, huh?
John: Yes, maybe. We'll try again in the morning.
