Luke studies the hangar carefully, looking for a way to cause a little excitement without being seen. A small command center overlooks the entire dock area. Several security cameras hanging from the high ceiling monitor all operations in the bay. No matter what he does to distract the stormtroopers and quartermasters, the cameras will see them as they enter the barges. In order to make the diversion work, they must blind the security cameras, and only Artoo can do that.
A plan occurs to Luke. He issues instructions to Artoo, then leaves the repulsor cart near the exit and leads Sidney and Gideon into the dark recesses along the edge of the bay. Artoo-Detoo wheels himself to the command center and enters unnoticed. Through the transwall overlooking the docks, Luke watches the Droid disappear behind a bank of computers.
A minute after General Parnell leaves, the hangar erupts into a cacophony of alarm wails and sirens. The force shield separating the bay interior from Tol Ado’s atmostphere blinks and sparks. Black gas begins seeping through the upper right corner. When they see the cause of the alarm, stormtroopers, laborers, and quartermasters all rush for the exists. Only Droids remain oblivious to the threat of a catastrophic breach of the system.
Luke motions Sidney and Gideon forward. “We’re cleared for loading.”
“Good plan,” Gideon says. “Which barge?”
It is a difficult question. Since the barges are used to carry freight to Tol Ado, their cargo holds will probably be empty and therefore devoid of hiding places. It seems obvious to the Calamarian is riding in a barge to avoid being observed along the normal routes of travel to and from Tol Ado. Therefore, there may be cover in the barge he entered. On the other hand, if he sees them, the Calamarian might sound the alarm.
