SHORT STORY

Published:

1994

Synopsis:
Aboard the immense slave ship Quincey's Girl, the infamous slaver Quintik Kahr (aka “Big Quince”) orders his Twi'lek slave, Tru'eb Cholakk, to pick a slave girl for a meeting with Moff Antoll Jellrek. Tru'eb goes down to the slave pen and chooses Oakie. Tru'eb leads Oakie (aka Platt Okeefe, sold into slavery for failing to clear a debt with a crimelord) to Big Quince's cabin to wash up. While the slave bathed, the Twi'lek examines several metal crates filled with the blue-white spice ryll, also for Jellrek. Soon after Oakie gets dressed, they began to discuss plans of escape. The slave girl places a bottle of Gruvian Tovash from Quince's bar inside of the crate.
Oakie and the crates of ryll are taken to the docking bay as the boarding ramp of the newly arrived Imperial shuttle began to lower. Moff Jellrek emerged from the shuttle to expect his tribute. As Jellrek opens the crate with the bottle of Gruvian, the alcohol spills on the ryll. The spice reacts violently and appears to explode. During the commotion, both Oakie and Tru'eb run to the Moff's shuttle and takes off. They enter hyperspace before the Star Destroyer in orbit could intercept.
