Star Wars: Escape from the Jedi Temple Begins

Chapter 22 Forced Landing, Oddo Satellite

A hush fell over the bridge of the cruiser.

The captain and his first officer stared at the empty space ahead, neither of them speaking.

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of relief in each other's eyes.

His gaze shifted away, and he muttered to himself, "They were so brutal. Thank goodness they escaped..."

After a moment, the adjutant broke the silence:

"The enemy's firepower is fierce; they must have received assistance from the Jedi Master."

"That's right, there's definitely a very powerful Jedi Master inside the shuttle."

"Captain, I think there are definitely more than that, at least three or four."

The two immediately started performing a charade.

If the mission fails, in order to avoid punishment, you must try your best to exaggerate the enemy's strength.

Sir, I really did my best.

The enemy is simply too powerful.

The two of them agreed on their story in an extremely natural way.

Just as they were starting to relax, a comment from the correspondent made them anxious again.

"Sir, Lieutenant General Lampard is calling."

......

The Havoc Predator was sailing smoothly through a blue tunnel.

Lance leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes.

Don't be fooled by his earlier rampage; he nearly exhausted his own primal energy to achieve that.

In that critical moment, he could only maximize his Force perception to achieve such an astonishing accuracy.

The results were remarkable, but the cost was also considerable.

now.

He felt a throbbing headache and a wave of weakness coursing through his body.

The last time I had this experience was when I was injured on the planet Katonemoydia.

"Fortunately, this time it was just exhaustion."

Lance raised his hand to rub his head, his depleted Origin Force slowly and automatically recovering.

After a while, the throbbing pain in my head gradually subsided.

Are you alright?

A steady voice rang in his ear.

When Lance opened his eyes, he was met with the concerned gazes of Omega and the others.

He shook his head slightly:

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."

Everyone immediately felt relieved.

Technician, Echo, and R2 returned to the emergency repair work.

Lance looked at Omega and Gugu and said softly:

"Thank you for taking care of him."

"It seems the little guy really likes you."

Gu Gu's two long, pointed ears twitched a few times, but she still held the ornament in her hand.

Unexpectedly, this won him over.

"Eeya."

Gu Gu waved his little hand, as if showing off his toys.

Omega looked down at him, a smile playing on her lips:

"Thank you for your trust, it is my honor."

She paused, her eyes pleading, her voice slightly hesitant:

"Can I...hold him a little longer?"

"No problem, as long as the little one agrees."

Although Gu Gu is young, he is exceptionally perceptive of emotions.

His lack of resistance to Omega indicates an instinctive trust in her.

Upon hearing this, Omega beamed with joy and quickly assured him:

"I will definitely take good care of Gugu."

Lance smiled and nodded, gesturing for the two to return to their seats.

His gaze shifted from Omega to the cockpit.

Technicians and others are replacing and repairing parts.

R2 extends two metal arms, which are directly facing the circuit for soldering.

"Technician, how badly is the spaceship damaged?"

The technician, holding the faulty part he had just replaced, adjusted his glasses and spoke calmly:

"It's not a big problem."

"The ship's diagnostic report shows multiple circuit burnouts, overloaded deflector shields, and damage to radar and navigation modules..."

Lance frowned, quickly interrupting, a hint of surprise in his voice:

"You call this a minor issue?"

The technician continued working, yet calmly replied:

"Yes, the critical systems are not damaged and it won't affect..."

As they were talking, the spaceship suddenly shook.

The blue channel suddenly transformed into lines, and then into starlight.

Inside the spacecraft, red emergency lights flashed incessantly, accompanied by piercing alarm sounds.

Flames erupted from its tail, and it hurtled toward the planet ahead, trailing a plume of black smoke.

"Wow!"

R2 was nearly thrown off balance and let out a sharp scream.

The group quickly grabbed onto nearby objects to steady themselves.

Lance picked Gugu up and pulled down the protective frame above the seat.

The hunter helped Omega pull down the protective barrier, then sat behind the technician and complained:

"This is no small problem."

The technician, gripping the control lever, remained calm and composed, checking the various gauges and attempting to restore power.

"The life support system wasn't affected, we'll be fine."

The hunter slapped his forehead, his voice tinged with helplessness:

"Are you kidding me?"

"The capacitor is broken; we need to land immediately."

The news from the echo made everyone's hearts jump.

A flicker of panic crossed the technician's face, but she quickly regained her composure.

He gripped the joystick tightly with both hands, his eyes resolute.

The Havoc Marauder entered the atmosphere and plummeted rapidly.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and lightning flashed and thunder roared, completely obscuring the view.

The shuttle was violently jolted by the turbulent currents, its fuselage shaking uncontrollably.

clang.

Amidst the piercing alarm, there was a crisp clattering sound and the Clearing King's cry of pain.

Omega clung tightly to the protective frame, her eyes closed.

The powered robot lost its balance and fell heavily to the ground. It slid along with R2, and together they crashed into the cockpit.

Seeing that they were about to collide, Lance quickly raised his hand and used the Force to freeze them in place.

Gu Gu clung tightly to his clothes, curling up into a ball.

Chaos reigned inside the spaceship.

After a while.

The tremors suddenly decreased.

The Havoc Raider finally broke through the clouds, and visibility instantly returned.

As far as the eye can see, there is a rugged terrain with crisscrossing gullies, and deep valleys and undulating folds appearing and disappearing in the dim light.

The technician quickly located a wide, deep valley and maneuvered the spaceship to crash into it.

As he was about to land, he quickly retracted the wings, gritted his teeth, and pulled up the control stick with all his might.

The engines roared hoarsely, and the spaceship's descent suddenly slowed.

But it's still not enough.

boom.

With a dull thud, the spaceship crashed to the ground and slid a short distance.

Dust filled the air.

The violent shaking and intense feeling of weightlessness caused a wave of dizziness.

A few minutes later, everyone recovered.

......

"Where...is this?"

Omega looked out at the gray-white mist that filled the cockpit, a hint of unease in his voice.

The technician had already gotten up from his chair, taken the data device from his waist, and was rapidly searching the database:

"Odo Satellite,"

He adjusted his glasses:

"A rocky satellite located in the Bortaire sector of the central ring star system."

He glanced at the environmental data and continued:

"The atmosphere is thin, so you need to wear breathing equipment when going outside."

He paused suddenly, a hint of interest flashing behind his glasses:

"Interesting... There's a native creature living here."

"Odo Satellite Dragon, a nocturnal animal that feeds on pure energy."

The hunter casually picked up two robots:

"Never mind that for now, let's fix the spaceship and get out of here as soon as possible."

Echo checked the system panel, his brow furrowing slightly:

"The storm destroyed the communicator when we were passing through the clouds."

The technician operates the data instrument quickly.

A few seconds later, a detailed test report appeared on the screen:

"The capacitor must have been damaged during the battle."

"If we don't replace it, we won't be able to take off."

He paused, his tone relaxing slightly:

"Fortunately, we have a spare part."

Suddenly, Lance opened his eyes.

Within his Force, he sensed the silhouette of a fierce tiger silently approaching.
