The Rebels prepare the defense of Hoth

Luke Skywalker is being released from the medical center and orders the medical droid to forget the heavy equipment and get the smaller modules on board of the transports because there’s not enough time for the heavy T-forty-sevens.

The rebel hangar is busy with pilots running to their stations, and Luke says good bye to Chewbacca.

Han Solo is still busy repairing the damage on the Millenium Falcon and is assisted by a mech droid. He interrupts his work for a moment to ask Luke if he’s allright.

Yes, Luke is alright. The two men have a silent communication for a moment that contains everything they feel but men usually don’t speak out loud - they wish each other luck and assure each other of their friendship with that brief look and smile.

“Be careful.” is all Han says, and Luke replies “You too” before he leaves for his battle station.

The scanners have picked up a fleet of Star Destroyers coming out of hyperspace in sector four.
Rieekan orders to route all power to the energy shields to hold the Star Destroyers off until the transports have started, and to prepare for a ground assault.
