[HAN] I've got a very bad feeling about this.
Before anyone can say anything the walls begin to rumble and edge toward the Rebels.
[LUKE] The walls are moving!
[LEIA] Don't just stand there. Try to brace it with something.
They place poles and long metal beams between the closing walls, but they are simply snapped and bent as the giant trashmasher rumbles on. The situation doesn't look too good.
[LUKE] Wait a minute!
Luke pulls out his comlink.
[LUKE] Threepio! Come in Threepio! Threepio! Where could he be?
INT. DEATH STAR - MAIN GANTRY - COMMAND OFFICE
A soft buzzer and the muted voice of Luke calling out for See-Threepio can be heard on Threepio's hand comlink, which is sitting on the deserted computer console. Artoo and Threepio are nowhere in sight. A door opens, four armed stormtroopers enter the chamber.
[FIRST TROOPER] Take over! (pointing to the dead officer) See to him! Look there!
A trooper pushes a button and the supply cabinet door slides open. See-Threepio and Artoo-Detoo are inside. Artoo follows his bronze companion out into the office.
[THREEPIO] They're madmen! They're heading for the prison level. If you hurry, you might catch them.
[FIRST OFFICER] (to his troops) Follow me! You stand guard.
The troops hustle off down the hallway, leaving a guard to watch over the command office.
[THREEPIO] (to Artoo) Come on!
The guard aims a blaster at them.
[THREEPIO] Oh! All this excitement has overrun the circuits of my counterpart here. If you don't mind, I'd like to take him down to maintenance.
[TROOPER] All right.
The guard nods and Threepio, with little Artoo in tow, hurries out the door.
