"It's a long story," Han said, "even longer than yours."

Bunji nodded. "If I were you, Han, I wouldn't be so quick to catch up with Reck Desh."

Han leaned forward, resting his forearms on his knees. "Why's that?"

"Things have changed since the old days. Folks are engaged in activities now that wouldn't have been tolerated then - even by riffraff like Bossk."

"What sort of activities?"

"Such as providing information about planetary defenses, or pirating shiploads of refugees and delivering them into Yuuzhan Vong hands for sacrifices."

The muscles in Han's jaw bunched. Bunji continued. "Reck and the gang he runs with - they call themselves the Peace Brigade - have been colluding with Yuuzhan Vong operatives by helping to spread anti-Jedi sentiment and destabilize planetary systems in advance of invasion. In some cases, they've persuaded worlds to capitulate to the Yuuzhan Vong beforehand."

"You wouldn't happen to know where Reck is currently?" Roa asked judiciously. "At last report, the Peace Brigade was operating in Hutt space,"

Bunji said, "much to Borga's dismay. If you'd like, I could make a few inquiries."

Han showed him a skeptical look. "Why would you be willing to do that for us?"

Bunji shrugged. "As I say, I owe you. If that isn't reason enough, then I'm doing it for the Wook. It near broke my hearts to hear that he had died. I'd have given anything to have had a partner like Chewbacca."

Before Han could respond, sirens began to blare and the illumination in Bunji's well-appointed enclave flickered. Without warning, the Jubilee Wheel shuddered as if it had been poked by the finger of a colossal hand.

One of Bunji's henchmen rushed to a nearby terminal and called up data on a display screen.

"Yuuzhan Vong attack!" he blurted.
