Synopsis:
In the underground resistance base on Garos IV, Wink Tasion listens
in on Imperial scouts at the mining center south of Ariana. The
Imperials have been setting up a defense perimeter around the mines.
Alex Winger listens in to this, then learns from Dair Haslip and
Magir Paca that another 2,000 troops is being sent to Garos. Where
is all the ore going, they wonder. The mine is nearly impenetrable
now - what can the resistance do? In addition, even worse, the Imps
are starting to find the resistance's weapons caches. Alex decides
she and Dair will have a dinner date at her father's mansion (to
check out the new security provisions there) before trying to rescue
the remaining weapons. They take a walk before dinner that night,
forced to act romantic with the scout troops watching them. After
dinner that night, Alex sneaks out of the mansion to move a Plex
missile launcher less than a kilometer from the mansion. She gets
intercepted by a scout, and has to fast-talk her way back to the
mansion.
The resistance finally gets the break they need - a chance to stop
the Imperials from finishing their new sensor setup at the mines.
Alex joins the attacking group. Two AT-STs are in the convoy, and
one is taken out - but the other one takes out Alex's friend Cardy.
Alex personally blows up the second one. The convoy is destroyed,
and another small victory is won. On her way home, Alex receives
another of those strange visions - and a distant voice saying,
"The Force will be with you..."
