(Part three: S.N.A.F.U.) (Status: In progress...)
Eshin made his way towards the aft end of the ship, avoiding the random patrols that were walking through corridors in pairs of two. They were easy to dispatch, but would be working against him if they were left in a hallway, so Eshin ignored them. Using his cloaking device installed on his suit, he weaved and moved through the ship, finally making his way to the Engine room in the lower deck. He reached to his back and pulled the Ion bomb off of his back, clipping it under the hyperdrive.
"Hey, Esh, we have a problem." Zeek said over the com. "What's wrong, Zeek? I already dispatched the force user, how is there a-" Zeek interupted him immediatly. "Funny thing, they did have an engineer on the ship. Just so happened he could hack too. He found the bodies." Eshin swore under his breath, reaching in and finding the switch, flicking it. He synced his hud to show the timer, which came up immediately as he spun, sprinting from the engine room. "Zeek, gimme IFF tags on the schematic. I need to know where they are." Almost as he said it, the red target markers popped up on his helmet, showing exactly where all the Troopers were on the current floor. "There you go. Giving you quickest route to the hangar as well. It won't adjust for the-" "Doesn't matter! Which ship has a hyperdrive?" Eshin yelled. His presence wasn't of much importance anymore. They knew he was here. He darted this way and that, sprinting through the tight corners of the ship. Arms pumping, implementing combat breathing to keep his brain from blacking from the strain of the extended sprint. (Three minutes left...)
[/color]"Ship tagged. You're good to go. Blast your way out of there, Esh!" No sooner did Zeek say just that, the doors in front of Eshin slid open, two storm troopers charging through. Eshin went to his knees, the sudden drop in height allowing him to dodge the first few blaster bolts that wizzed past his head. Eshin was sliding now on his knees as the storm troopers tried to readjust their sites, but Eshin was drawing his hand blaster as he slid. He shot twice, scoring a killing blow with each as he rolled forward and was to his feet before the troopers hit the ground. Eshin made it to the hanger, and as he hit the button for the door, he came face to face with around eight storm troopers. (Sixty seconds left...)
Eshin didn't hesitate. Drawing his vibro blade in one hand, the blaster in the other, he threw a few shots designed to confuse into the troopers in front. Diving and rolling behind a series of cargo boxes, he heard one of them scream, and a thud later mean he had done better than he intended. Cloak active, he had around ten seconds before it would overheat and deactivate. (fifty seconds...) He let them come to him, almost like fodder. One after the other fell to his blade, it striking vital spots. Those out of his reach were shot by his blaster as he weaved an invisible path of death through them. They scattered as he charged for the ship, his cloak deactivating. (fourty seconds...) "Zeek! I need this thing going now!" No words from Zeek, however the engine roared, the ship lifting off as the rest of the troopers in the ship filled out into the hanger, the bay doors to the shuttle barely closing in time. (twenty seconds...) "Minimum safe distance for warp in five!" Zeek shouted in the com as Eshin charged for the cockpit. (Ten seconds...) "Minimal distance reached! Hit it, Eshin!" And Eshin reached the cockpit, strapping into the pilots chair, reaching for the hyperdrive controls and slamming them forward. The cargo ship had barely adjusted it's course intending to follow the small shuttle with Eshin inside when suddenly...
(Bomb detonation: confirmed) A blue light flashed behind the massive cargo ship, the lights almost immediately dying or flickering. Eshin saw before him the stars turn into long, bright lights as the shuttle went into hyperspace, leaving the disabled ship in the proverbial dust.

"Zeek, status."
"All is normal, Esh. Imperial cruiser was disabled, we aren't being followed. You know how to give someone a heart attack with these close calls, buddy. Here is your upcoming destination."
The ships screen flashed on, with a three dimensional hologram of the planet the ship was heading for. It was apparently pre-programmed into the ships nav-computer.
"Dantooine, huh? What's the Imperial and Republic presence looking like..."
