(The scene starts in a spaceship hangar. People dressed in jumpsuits run around. Sounds of wailing sirens and explosions in the background)
Rebellion Officer: Hey, kid (pointing to a youngster hidden behind some crates) I saw you the other day playing in the arcades with the GR-75 simulator and you got the top score. All pilots of the GR-75 in Hangar Bay 1 have been injured in an explosion, so you'll have to pilot that GR-75. You'll use it as a decoy and try to escape through Theta Sector, because our main GR-75 group will try to escape the Imperial blockade in a different sector. Here, take the keys!
Kid: Erm, OK, Sir! Will I get any escorts?
Rebellion Officer: Sure, a couple newbies will go with you, and there's this Daredevil scoundrel that also has to go in the same direction.
(after some uneventful minutes of space flying, the kid realizes he was using the astronavigation maps upside down)

| Han Solo: "Looks like the kid took us into a minefield!" |
Meanwhile, after having been reprimanded for destroying a speeding spaceship with a torpedo hit while patrolling the Erasmus system (see http://xwingeleventhhour.blogspot.nl/2014/02/mission-3-big-game-hunting.html), Sergeant Stan Nilar and his platoon has been posted in the Theta sector surrounding Hoth, where intelligence says no Rebel ship will dare enter.
Sergeant Stan Nilar: Man, this is boring like hell. And these ships are really slow, nothing like those amazing Interceptors...
 |
| Two TIE Bombers and their escorts approach the GR-75 at full speed. The escorts divide to try to intercept them. |
Trooper Kyle Sularen: Sergeant, we have an unidentified Transport ship approaching the Old Derelict Minefield (a minefield set during a long past and forgotten war).
Sergeant Stan Nilar: OK, fellows, let's get some fun... Unidentified GR-75, you are exiting a blockaded system. Following order 34890 of Emperor Palpatine, you are hereby requested to stop the vessel and prepare for boarding and a customs check... uum, they are not stopping... Trooper Kyle, give them a warning shot!
 |
| The X-Wings are protecting the left flank of the GR-75 Transport |
Han Solo: I see some Imperial fighters approaching our flanks. Luke, take the left and I'll protect the right flank...
 |
| Han Solo decides to go solo against the second TIE Bomber squad |
 |
| One of the mine explodes and ionizes the YT-1300 |
 |
| While the YT-1300 drifts away, one of the TIE Bomber squads avoids Han Solo's ship and gets close to the Transport, though Han manages to destroy one of the TIE Fighter escorts |
Trooper Kyle Sularen: Sergeant, they are firing on us! I'm using my torpedoes right away against the GR-75.
Meanwhile, at the other side of the Transport...
Kid: Uumm... let's see what this lever here does... (the GR-75 goes full throttle and veers to the left crushing into the X-Wing Rookie)... Oh oh, sorry hoor! I think I'll try veering right next.
 |
| In the other flank of the Transport, things are getting even more difficult for the GR-75, which stumbles through the Rookie X-Wing obliterating it |
 |
| The GR-75 then veers right, crushing into Luke's X-Wing |
 |
| Surrounded by Imperial TIEs, the GR-75's shields quickly give way to the Torpedo barrage |
Sergeant Stan Nilar: Well, no worries... there's nobody here to report us... I won't write this in the report...
Han Solo: Well, who gave a GR-75 to a kid for piloting? This kind of silly things only works in movies... Chewie, configure the hyperdrive to get us to Cloud City... I need to contact Lando...
