But Ben didn't know she was here," Luke half pleaded, half argued. "I'm surethat if he knew he would have changed his plans." Anxiety turned to thoughtfulness."Now, if we could just figure a way to get into that detention block…" Solo shook his head and stepped back. "Huh-uh—I'm not going into anyImperial detention blocks." "If we don't do something, they're going to execute her. A minute ago you saidyou didn't just want to sit here and wait to be captured. Now all you want to do isstay. Which is it, Han?" The Corellian looked troubled—and confused. "Marching into a detentionarea's not what I had in mind. We're likely to end up there anyway—why rush it?" "But they're going to execute her!" "Better her than me." "Where's your sense of chivalry, Han?" Solo considered. "Near as I can recall, I traded it for a ten-carat chrysopaz andthree bottles of good brandy about five years ago on Commenor." "I've seen her," Luke persisted desperately. "She's beautiful." "So's life." "She's a rich and powerful Senator," Luke pressed, hoping an appeal to Solo'sbaser instincts might be more effective. "If we could save her, the reward could besubstantial." "Uh…rich?" Then Solo looked disdainful. "Wait a minute…Reward, fromwhom? From the government on Alderaan?" He made a sweeping gesture towardthe hangar and by implication the space where Alderaan had once orbited. Luke thought furiously. "If she's being held here and is scheduled to beexecuted, that means she must be dangerous in some way to whoever destroyedAlderaan, to whoever had this station built. You can bet it had something to do withthe Empire instituting a reign of full repression. "I'll tell you who'll pay for her rescue, and for the information she holds. TheSenate, the rebel Alliance, and every concern that did business with Alderaan. Shecould be the sole surviving heir of the off-world wealth of the entire system! Thereward could be more than you can imagine."
