The subaltern's coordinates took them to a long road branching off what had been the main marketplace of the Five Cities. Large parts of it were now scoured down to the soil as if the buildings and trees had never been there, evidence that the dread weapon-as the Yuuzhan Vong called the warship's scavenging tube-had passed this way. Fett's penetrating radar and sensors picked up erratic movement and an organic target with human body temperature, moving in a row of bombed houses that were still smoking from the fires started by magma weapons.

"Okay, we can track him, but he can sense us, remember," said Fett. He gestured the Detta brothers to the south end of the alley and Briika and Dinua to the broken roof overlooking it. "Beviin, go and stall the subaltern. Buy us some time. Tiroc, with me."

The Jedi was in a section of alley about ten meters long that ran along the rear of the houses. Rubble had partly blocked it; Fett tracked him with his motion sensor almost to the end of the alley. Then the movement stopped.

"Briika?"

She patched her view of the scene through to Fett's HUD. Judging by the angle, she was lying flat on the roof with her head hanging over into the alley. "See him? He's in bad shape." -Pg.59
