ask if they know what's happened to the comm tower
Were you meaning to ask why they hadn't used the long-range comms to call for help?
Yeah, ask this.
Wedge turns away.
The Zabi would've heard any broadcast we made, and I doubt anyone on Dabais is alive anyways.. Dabais is the name of the orbital moon base. Your brother Victor is the commander there. The Zabi surely would've had to pass it on their way down here. It's armed with fixed anti-ship batteries and the Steiner flagship, the
Thundaga, as well as several squadrons of heavy aerospace fighters. Wedge might be a coward, but his logic is sound. If the Zabi are here on the planet then they would've had to take out the fortress-base as well.
My prince, the palace is the only other installation down here. We need to find a hover and get to the spaceport before the Zabi find us.You go back to the armory to get the Rad Driver. The three of you drag it back to the connecting hallway together.
I can carry it on my own my prince, but I hope you understand that if we need to fight I'll need to set this monster down. While Biggs is talking Wedge checks the weapon.
It looks functional. It powered up properly so the battery still has some charge but.. It's not loaded. The shells are probably kept somewhere else.
