Although the snowspeeder was designed for a two-man crew, Zev was the ship'sonly occupant. His eyes took in a panoramic scan of the desolate stretches below,and he prayed that he would find the objects of his search before he went snow-blind. Presently he heard a low beeping signal. "Echo Base," he shouted jubilantly into his cockpit comlink, "I've got something!Not much, but it could be a sign of life. Sector four-six-one-four by eight-eight0two.I'm closing in." Frantically working the controls of his ship, Zev reduced its speed slightly andbanked the craft over a snowdrift. He welcomed the sudden G-force pressing himagainst his seat and headed the snowspeeder in the direction of the faint signal. As the white infinity of Hoth's terrain streaked under him, the Rebel pilotswitched his comlink to a new frequency. "Echo Three, this is Rogue Two. Doyou copy? Commander Skywalker, this is Rogue Two." The only reply that came through his comlink receiver was static.
