...and then, the screen just... flickers.

I look at you in disbelief
throws her hands up in frustration Look, Luke, I don't have time for your pity party. We've got better things to focus on.
I agree. I think there's something very important around here.
narrows her eyes Important, huh? Well, don't expect me to waste my precious time on some trivial nonsense. If it's worth my while, I'll consider it.
grumbles Great, the power's going out now too? This night couldn't possibly get any worse.

Do you know what that was?
clenches her fists I don't know yet, but I'll find out. We can't afford to waste any more time.
gruffly Don't fuss over me, Luke. I'll be fine. We need to focus on the task at hand.
