They checked his hands and arms for injuries but found none. The blob hadn’t bitten or wounded him in any way,

The two Rebels were confused, but to Tash, the man’s appearance looked familiar. “He looks sick,”

she said, then told Wedge and the Bothan about the virus Zak had. Wedge’s face grew pale. “That’s it!

That’s what these

blobs are for. These creatures must be carriers.

looked at his Bothan partner. “The Empire is creating a plague, and these creatures are delivering it.”

“Do you think we’ve contracted it?” the Bothan asked. “No,” Wedge replied. “It must be passed by touch, or

we’d all have fallen sick by now.” “WhywOu1d they be re1easing it here, in t4e city. I77 7

Tash wondered aloud. Carefully she touched the lump un-der her sleeve. Could she have the virus?

But no, she hadn’t touched one of the blob creatures. She hadn’t been infected with anything. “Test cases,” Wedge said. “They’re using the city to see how effective the blobs are, I’d guess. We’re all lab rats.” He nodded to his Bothan companion. “Come on, we’ve got to get back to the safe house.” Careful not to let their bare skin touch him, the two Rebels pulled their friend up and supported him with their arms. Wedge looked back at Tash. “Please help us, Tash. We’ll be watching. When your ship is ready to leave, we’ll know.” Wedge and the Bothan carried their comrade out of the ship, first checking for danger. But the blob was gone. A small hovercar was parked nearby. They slipped in-side and skimmed quickly away. The Shroud suddenly felt very empty.. Hoole and Deevee were gone, and Zak was… Tash almost dropped to the floor in panic when she realized. Zak was still in the hands of the Imperial Biological Weapons Division.

Tash slowly returned to the Infirmary. She wanted to hurry, but her legs would barely move, and she was sweating. Her discomfort only made her angrier. And she found that the angrier she got, the more energy she had. She could feel her heartbeat all the way down to her fingertips. The brown lump on her forearm thudded against her skin. Staring at the Imperial Infirmary tower, Tash wished once more that she were a Jedi. She wanted to ignite her lightsaber and storm the Infirmary. She wanted to save Zak.

But she also wanted revenge on the people who had hurt him. “Well, why not?” she said out loud. Her voice, if she had stopped to listen to it, hardly sounded like her own. “AAer what the Empire’s done to me, they deserve it!” But Tash had never even held a blaster, let alone a lightsaber. As much as she wanted to fight her enemies, she would have to use stealth instead. She rode the lift up to the tenth Aoor, where Zak was being treated. She hurried to the bacta tanks. But the bacta tanks were empty. Tash thought quickly. Deevee said he was going to check on Zak So where are they7 Tash saw the same medical technician who’d been at-tending Zak’s bacta tank earlier.
