I can't express how happy I am to be myself once more. No more Nightshade for me!
I don't have much to give you now, but hey, it's better than nothing.

Claw knew that Coppertop had experienced something important rather than the aftereffects of Beren's magic, as the others assumed. She looked shaken, and shadows had begun to fall again. Claw had never seen her so rattled, so he surmised that what she had seen was not good.
She led the way with apparent unconcern, face closed and eyes unreadable. Her seldom-used blaster was in her hand, and it clearly wasn't set to stun. Everyone got shot, droids included. Evidently her blaster had a useful ion blast setting, which she used to great effect. No alarms went off, and Beren remained unaware of their presence, or so they hoped.
He wasn't likely to be in the control rooms, assuming that he learned from past mistakes. Kroys hadn't, but from all evidence Beren was more intelligent, and a quick learner to boot. So, seeing as all other paths led to places such as the mess, the armory and the crew's quarters, they followed a sign with an odd black pentagon on it. This seemed to be right, for now and then they picked up Beren's trace, although it never affected them so strongly, which could have been due to Zanzibar's protection.
They had no idea how the space battle was going outside.

Kaz, isn't it better to do it first thing than leave it for last?
Sounds good in theory, but to put it in practice, I know ...
