captured

Quint was lost in a cron about the resonant crystal structure needed for the lazing of a light saber. Not just any crystal would work. But when you found the right one, it would sing to you. She was being quiet and every time someone came into the cargo hull she would get quiet.

As the ship lifted off, she felt fairly safe. When it banked hard enough to make the cargo shift on her she realized the futility of this plan. A couple cries for help brought a droid back in to the hold to help them. It seemed to Quint that the droid found pleasure in their distress. Annie, what Quint called her droid, was very apologetic for her mistress' behavior. After a little effort the crates were moved enough for the two of them to escape being trapped. They were escorted to a small state room and told to stay put till Rowan had time to meet with them.

In Quint's mind what she did was quite logical. Rowan had said only the two of them and the money. If she would have waited it would have been the four of them and the money. In a place were bounty hunters, smugglers captains, thieves, and cut throats would kill someone for the slightest insult, she felt like she was following the code by keeping people alive. Aidman had told her this was her best bet to find the killer and to clear her name. She would just have to act like a Jedi till then.
