[OOM] Transimir Station.

[stuck_mynock]

Docking Bay Three is as large as a small town. Larger, perhaps. It's massively wide and tall, many-tiered, with rows upon rows of landing pads and towers connected by a vast network of interconnecting bridges, that go up as far as the eye can follow.

There are shops here, and cantinas, for those just getting out or preparing to get into their ships, and at least a dozen exits and entrances scattered around the levels.

The escape pod goes gliding through the containment field and crashes down on the lowest level, spinning as it goes. It's lucky it's well-cushioned and padded, really - with no proper way to land, a controlled crash is the best Guppy and Will could've hoped for.

Nevertheless, it eventually comes to a stop, down at the base of several towers. This lowest level doesn't have many people - it's mostly droids hurrying about to do maintenance, with a few ships that look like they've seen better days.

The blurry image of the Kaleesh reappears.

"Have you come to a decision? I'm afraid time is running short. Four dropships are in the process of landing and depositing troops into the lower levels as we speak."

[will_scarlett]

"Oh aye, tell us where to meet ye an we'll be there."

[guppy_sandhu]

"We spoke to Atton. He said you were okay."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Excellent. For the moment, our main priority is making sure you have somewhere safe to stay. Head for the centre of the station, look for Apartment 345, and when you're there, head to the bathroom. There's a small place to hide behind the large mirror."

Headtilt.

"Move quickly. There will be Sith at your location within minutes."

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, thank ye."

Will looks over the map and tries to find the quickest way.

[guppy_sandhu]

"I've got it, come on."

Guppy pulls Will in the right direction.

[will_scarlett]

So Will starts moving quickly in the right direction with Guppy.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy hurries as fast as he can without looking imminently suspicious to passers by.

"What was the room number?" He asks Will, to confirm he remembered it right.

[will_scarlett]

"345."

Will's a bit better at hurrying without looking like you're in trouble but he's still worried.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy gets to the lift and presses the button repeatedly, as if that will make it come faster.

[will_scarlett]

And Will turns to look down the hallway to see if anyone's coming.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

There are.

Approaching down the hallway are three armoured figures, each uniformly tall and broad, in strangely organic looking black armour, with clusters of green glowing dots on the front of their helmets, like numerous eyes. They have pairs of scythe-like blades extending from their wrists, and what looks like small blasters on their other wrists.

Which isn't so good when they raise said blasters and fire rapid volleys of blue light at Will and Guppy.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy yanks Will into the lift and ducks behind the door out of the way of the blasters.

[will_scarlett]

When Guppy thinks about it, he can be quite strong and Will yells slightly as he's pulled into the lift.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

The soldiers run after them (they move in a strangely inhuman manner, with an odd gait, but nonetheless very fast), but don't reach them before the doors close.

[guppy_sandhu]

"Did it hit you?" Guppy asks urgently when Will yells, worried that he might have pulled Will into the line of fire by mistake.

He hopes to heck that when the doors open again it won't be to be faced with soldiers.

[will_scarlett]

"Oh nay, just ye're stronger than ye know."

[guppy_sandhu]

When the lift stops, Guppy jumps out and pushes the button for a higher floor to possibly confuse the guards.

"Come on." He takes Will's hand and continues hurrying.

[will_scarlett]

"Aye." Will just keeps moving.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy finds the room and opens the door, praying it isn't a trap.

[will_scarlett]

As Will heads towards where the hidden door is supposed to be.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

There's a large mirror, about the size of a door, but seemingly no doorknob or control panel to open it with.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy tries pushing on it on different sides, or pulling at the edge.

[will_scarlett]

"Bloody 'ell."

Will runs his hand over the mirror too, there must be some way to open it.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

A particularly forceful tug at one edge causes it to swing open, revealing a room beyond. Not tiny, but not big, either, sparsely furnished with a computer and four small beds.
