Red emergency lamps flashed all about the car as Raezyr and Tyrrazapon pressed forward against the blaster fire amidst the screams of the passengers, as they sought protection from the commandos.
The commandos did their best to fire around the passengers, but their orders were to eliminate the Dark Jedi threat, with minimal collateral damage. Unfortunately for two of the passengers, it wasn't possible to avoid all, as they were taken down by fire from the commandos.
Raezyr and Tyrrazapon used the momentary distraction and Force pushed the two soldiers out of the entrance they had created.
Wind screamed through the cabin and Raezyr had to shout to be heard, "They won't try that again, but they'll try something else. Apparently we're more important than the civillians. "I'm going to the control station to find out where we're headed. Keep me apprised of the situation," Raezyr said.
As he moved forward through the cars, he took out the emergency beacons which were messing with his low-light vision built into his helmet. He reveled in the fear emanating from the passengers as they cowered from him as he passed, striking the lamps with his light saber.
When he reached the control room, the door was locked. Using the force, he manipulated the controls on the other side and the door slid open.
The operator was speaking with someone on the comm. "I copy, I'll stop at station 7..."
Raezyr shoved his light saber into the communications panel, cutting off the transmission. The operator jumped back as sparks and smoke filled the air.
"If you want to live you will do exactly as I say, understand?" Raezyr commanded.
"First, accelerate this train to full speed," he paused as the operator complied. "Now show me where this track goes.
"The operator pulled up a map on his control screen showing where the line led. Raezyr looked it over for a minute, then pointed to a spot on the screen, indicating a location several stops down the line. "Here. You will stop the train here. If we even begin to slow down before we reach it, I will kill every person on this train, beginning with you."
The operator nodded his head in compliance and looked at the location Raezyr had indicated on the screen. It was the Republic Central Station, located beneath the Senate Rotunda.... the seat of the Galactic Senate.
Raezyr turned and left the control room. As he looked out the windows, he could see the pale lemony light over the horizon in the east.
