The more time is used prior to the escape attempt being launched, the less we'll have to gloss over in there.

We could've done another single-post timeskip, but we really don't like them, as they feel too much like railroading people into a single scene.

It is much better for people to gradually use more time in their posts.

To offer some suggestions for how people can spend excess time: (these are fairly neutral, less likely to provoke Sith)
Sleep (torture and such is exhausting)
Meditation
Exercise (physical)
study
practice with the Force

We've got 30-31 hours to catch up, and there's no need to be stingy in using time. How you do it is up to you.

Of course, you could also do stuff like trying to escape, trying to annoy the Sith, etc.

Xid also is willing to teach people to use the force upon technology to manipulate it. While the doors to the prison turbolifts are fairly simple to open, you can bet safely on the fact that not all doors will be so easy. The escape attempt [b]will [/b]involve passing doors/barriers that are meant to be secure.

There's also that practice lightsaber lying in one of the bunks. Modifying that to be fully operational might aid in the escape.
