Scoundrel’s Luck – 96

Han points the bow at the narrow channel and steadies the bateau’s corse. The hydrogen turbine’s whine rises in pitch and also steadies. A moment later, red and blue energy bolts begin whizzing between the legs of the turbine superstructure with alarming regularity. Han does not resume evasive maneuvers. He worries more about clearing the dam of debris than suffering a hit from the stormtroopers.

As they approach the fallen building, Han sees that the channel bends slightly to the left. On the other end, a long, narrow canal boat maneuvers to enter the narrow passage. It carries so much cargo that its gunnels nearly ride submerged. A stack of plasteel crates obstructs the pilot’s view.

“Hold on!” Han yells. It appears the Canal boat will enter the passage about the same time Han reaches the far end. He does not want to imagine the collision that will result if the canal boat enters the channel before they clear it.

Sodarra continues trading shots with the broadhorn.
