Allie sat silenty hunched over on the vanity counter-top with her back to the mirror. Too weary to bother moving her head, her eyes darted from Jola, sorting through the small medical supplies Allie had lifted from the shop, to Tack and his clicking gray armor as they spoke.
What have I done? What have I gotten myself into? Allie's whole reason behind leaving home was to avoid the rebellion, to not get involved with the Empire in any way, and to not have to use a blaster or operate a gun turret. But now, the self-proclaimed smuggler- in Imperial armor. The medic- with the Empire after her. A painful awareness of how little she actually knew about the pair was creeping into Allie's mind. And here I am with them, in the middle of a Rebel hide-out. And I've-. Shavvit.
Allie fought down another wave of nausea. She felt dirty, and all she wanted at the moment was: a shower, a couple sleeping pills, a place to crash. Sighing, Allie leaned back against the mirror and closed her eyes. If someone needed her, they'd let her know.

I know Tack's armor is blue. Allie is blue/green colorblind. They both = gray.
Oh yeah, Mark and Audrey, Richard says "Hi," and "I feel like chicken tonight." I was also instructed to give you his e-mail address and tell you to drop him a line any time. :)
