THE FOURTH GATHERS: SCENE 26: THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM

THE FOURTH GATHERS: SCENE 26: THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM

The Station Wagon slowly approaches the Rebel Base on Earth Jabin. Lord Bader and Governor Darkin are standing in the control room.

	IMPERIAL OPERATOR: "Around the Earth at maximum speed. Rebel base on the moon ... There will be within a range of 30 minutes."

	LORD BADER: "This will be long remembered day. As can be seen the end of section ratio ... You can quickly see the end of the insurgency."

Meanwhile, the Rebels are preparing their attack on the wagon.

	REBEL ANNOUNCER: "All crew, man your stations. All crew, man your stations."

The Gospel Of Luke finds Mr. Thoreau loading his reward on board the Falcon Millenium.

	THE GOSPEL OF LUKE: "So ... you got your reward, you are at this moment, I will leave?"

	MR. THOREAU: "Yes. Yes. I think I can pay this thing up old debts. I think I can pay this thing up old debts. Do not you think I would be this stupid, what is the future? Why do not you join us?
		You're a good fight. Later, we can use it."

	THE GOSPEL OF LUKE: "hurry. Why do not you look around? You know what happened? What they oppose. They use a good pilot like you. You are rotated back to them."

	MR. THOREAU: "What incentives, if it is not you use it better? In addition, that battle station attack ... Not my idea of ??a day of brave. It is more like ...... suicide."

	THE GOSPEL OF LUKE: "it is good. Note that one of their own. I do not think this is the best for you?"

The Gospel Of Luke starts walking away.

	MR. THOREAU: "Hey, Luke."

The Gospel Of Luke stops and turns around.

	MR. THOREAU: "The wish power is together with you."

The Gospel Of Luke doesn't respond, and leaves.

	DRAG ALONG: "Ugh!"

Mr. Thoreau faces Drag Along.

	DRAG ALONG: "Ugh!"

	MR. THOREAU: "Are you looking for it? I know what I'm doing."

The Rebel Announcer's voice echoes through the base.

	REBEL ANNOUNCER: "All pilots stations. All pilots stations."

Princess Leah walks upp to The Gospel Of Luke.

	PRINCESS LEAH: "What is the problem?"

	THE GOSPEL OF LUKE: "Oh, bite. I do not know. I really think he'll change his mind."

	PRINCESS LEAH: "He could follow his own path. No one can choose to give him."

	THE GOSPEL OF LUKE: "I hope this is only the present."

Leah kisses The Gospel Of Luke and leaves. The Rebel Announcer is still talking.

	REBEL ANNOUNCER: "Open the main launch tube."

	REBEL ANNOUNCER 2: "The main launch tube open, sir."

Suddenly, The Gospel Of Luke runs into an old friend from Africa...

	BIX: "Luke, come on!"

	THE GOSPEL OF LUKE: "Bix!"

	BIX: "I do not believe. How are you?"

	THE GOSPEL OF LUKE: "Big."

	BIX: "Hey, come?"

	THE GOSPEL OF LUKE: "I immediately went to ... I want to talk to you."

Their conversation is interrupted by the arrival of Garven Dreis, The Red Leader.

	RED LEADER: "You think you can handle this ship?"

	BIX: "Jazz, who bitch pilots? The peripheral region."

	RED LEADER: "You will all right to do."

	THE GOSPEL OF LUKE: "Thank you. I will try."

The Red Leader leaves.

	BIX: "I have killed. When we come back, we'll hear the whole story all right?"

	THE GOSPEL OF LUKE: "it is good. Hey, Biggs. I said, one day I'll do it."

	BIX: "It will be like old times who knows. They will not stop us."

The two pilots part ways and board their respective airships. One of the engineers consult the Gospel Of Luke.

	ENGINEER: "Hey, it seems you are a little beat R2 units. You want a new one?"

	THE GOSPEL OF LUKE: "Life without you. And a small robot, I experienced a lot."

The Gospel Of Luke then turns to R2.

	THE GOSPEL OF LUKE: "Are you okay, R2?"

R2 beeps.

	THE GOSPEL OF LUKE: "it is good."

	REBEL ANNOUNCER: "Gold fleet will start the takeoff procedure."

Blow The Skin has also come to say goodbye to his wife.

	BLOW THE SKIN: "Tight, waiting for R2. You must come back."

R2 beeps.

	BLOW THE SKIN: "You will not want to have my life?"

As he takes off, The Gospel Of Luke once again hears the voice of Ratio Tile speaking to him.

	RATIO TILE: "gospel, the wish power are together with you."

The airships all form a fleet and depart towards the Station Wagon.
