Han Solo watched as the vibroblade came up through the stone floor and, with a high-pitched squeal, began slicing out a perfectly circular slab. The vibroblade withdrew, and the slab of stone lifted itself up, until it was hanging in midair a half meter over the open hole, a portable antigrav unit attached to its underside.

A Selonian hand-paw reached up out of the hole and shoved the slab to one side. It slid along on its antigrav unit and floated into the corner, where it bounced gently off the wall and came to rest.

A Selonian head popped up out of the hole and nodded cheerfully at Dracmus. “We are glad to have located the proper cell,” she said in Selonian. “It caused some awkwardness when we detected that you had been moved.”

“It is of no consequence,” Dracmus said. “But let us be on our way.” She turned toward Han and spoke, still in Selonian. “Come, honored Solo, we must go. Or would you still prefer distracting the guard by throwing buns at him?”

Han hesitated a moment. He had no idea what the sides in this fight were, let alone whose side Dracmus was on. Was he being rescued, or just becoming someone else’s hostage? But on the other hand, the idea of facing Thrackan after Dracmus had escaped was not very appealing either. “I am coming,” Han said.

“For a moment there, I thought you were about to refuse,” Dracmus said.

“I almost did,” Han said as he sat down on the edge of the hole and got ready to drop through.

Dracmus sighed. “Humans. Always determined to do things the hard way. Come on. We must begin to move.”

Han went down the hole.
