Onyx Soldier kicks open the outer hatch and the freighter spits him into a bitter new world. The maintenance gantry clings to the hull in hard vacuum glare, while the wrecked ship burns on one side and open space yawns on the other. An Azkaban interceptor hangs nearby, its landing lights slashing through debris as the freighter's guns rake at it.
The Dockhand
That thing is trying to save us... and the ship is shooting it.
A burst from the automated defenses snaps past the interceptor, then smashes into a spar of the gantry. The Dockhand flinches back from the blast shield, his hope turning to panic as the rescue craft wobbles under fire.
Onyx Soldier
The gantry is our route, if it holds.
Onyx Soldier plants himself on the bucking catwalk and moves toward the interceptor's side access, using the burning hull for cover. Behind him, the freighter groans like a breaking spine and showers the void with sparks and panels.
The Dockhand
Go now, before the turrets tag the whole span. I can get you to the lock, but we do not have much ship left.
Onyx Soldier surges forward as the interceptor steadies just long enough to present a route across the gap. The Dockhand follows, low and frantic, while the hail of fire chews at the gantry behind them.
