Getting the droids up the cliff took the better part of an hour and required haggling with Sarco over the use of his block and tackle. The alien had brought the equipment for hoisting a dead pikhron so the beast could be skinned; Luke was glad to use it for some other purpose.

Artoo suffered being hauled up to the cave with his dignity relatively intact, beeping encouragingly at Luke each time he caught his breath and fantasized about being able to lift the droids through the air using the Force. But Threepio spent the entire time declaring that the rope was slipping and predicting his imminent demise. With the protocol droid standing safely in the cave and marveling at his miraculous survival, Luke lowered Sarco’s equipment and then tossed the rope down to him.

“We’ll be inside for a few days at least,” Luke called down to Sarco. “I’ll raise you on the comlink when we’re ready to return.”

Sarco raised his head from where he stood in the riverbed, arranging his equipment on his shoulders.

“If you come out of there alive,” he said.

Luke hesitated. He didn’t believe in ghosts, but Ben had warned him about the power of the dark side of the Force—it had corrupted his apprentice Darth Vader. What if it was behind the stories of spirits in the temple? What if some malevolent energy still lingered there?

“I can take care of myself,” he told Sarco, scanning the forested cliffs across the river. For a moment he thought he’d seen something glinting in the sun.

“You’ll get more credits, if that’s what you’re worrying about,” he added.

I’m running up quite a bill for the Alliance, he thought wryly. I better learn to use the Force to trick a quartermaster into approving it.

Sarco cocked his head back and forth in that strange, vaguely clockwork habit he had.

“We’ll meet again, Marcus,” he said, and strode off across the rocky valley to where the happabores were waiting.

“What an unpleasant creature,” sniffed Threepio.

“I kind of feel sorry for him,” Luke said. “But look, he got us this far, didn’t he?”

“Wherever that may be.”

“Right,” Luke said. “That’s a good question. Let’s find out the answer.”
