[OOM] Transimir Station, Lower Levels.

After their twelve hours inside the safe house, there's a sharp ringing from the computer, and a hum and click from the door.

The ringing lasts all of a few minutes, before the blurry Kaleesh appears again.

"Meet us on the Central Bridge. Your computer has a map." With that, he's gone again.

"They're in a high-security locker, in the docking bay on the upper level. I used another identity to buy it." A pause, before he nods, reluctantly. "Alright, I'll come with you. What happened to Atton, anyway? I thought he'd be coming in person, and you're not one of his ... associates. Not ones I recognise, at least."

[will_scarlett]

"Problem with our ship, 'e's down on the planet, we're tryin' to get back to 'im."

[guppy_sandhu]

"We had an accident." Guppy says.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Right." Lagos sounds unconvinced. "Well, come with me."

[will_scarlett]

Will nods and follows, this would be so much easier if Atton was here.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy follows along, glancing at Will as he's unsure when to mention the aliens.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Lagos heads to a lift, directing it to the marketplace of the upper levels.

[will_scarlett]

When they're in the lift, Will says quickly,

"We 'elped with the Magnus job 'mongst other things."

[guppy_sandhu]

"And we've heard from Atton since the crash, he's okay."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Is that supposed to impress me? I don't even know who Magnus is," Lagos grunts. "I'm glad Atton's alright, but if he's on the planet, that's not much help to me."

[will_scarlett]

Will is getting tired of this whole run around,

"Na to us either, an if ye want to find yer way off o''ere too, best get the stuff that we can bargain for a ship."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Assuming you don't want to work on it forever." Guppy says, following Will's lead.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Lagos mutters something as the lift opens, and leads them through the market (now filled with the exoskeletoned Sith soldiers, who pay them little attention) and into the vast docking bay.

After crossing several bridges and going down a couple of staircases, they are eventually at a platform, very high up, with three lockers on it. Lagos busies himself unlocking the third one along.

Once he opens it, an alarm goes off, loud and blaring. Lagos curses.

"They must have found it and rigged it with an alarm," he mutters, loading the contents of it into a bag. "We've got to get out of here."

All around the docking bay, Sith soldiers turn, before one leaps down from a bridge, spinning in the air to land between Lagos, Will and Guppy, blades sliding out of one arm.

[will_scarlett]

So Will draws his sword and blaster, he'd rather use the sword but he fires a few blaster rounds off to maybe buy them some time.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy pulls both of them next to him and presses the 'Sonic Screech' on his stun gun.

A protective zone keeps them from being deafened, but should hopefully hurt everyone else in the near vicinity.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

The Sith soldiers crumple, and the one that had leapt down between them clutches his chest, now glowing with blaster marks.

Then, their armour changes. Specifically, the helmets - they reshape themselves, just slightly, around where the ears would be. The one on the platform, having been shot, and having caught the full brunt of the screech, is clearly not going to be getting up for a while, though he groans and twitches slightly, but the others straighten up.

Two more land on the platform, as Lagos backs off to get between Will and Guppy, trying to make himself small.

[will_scarlett]

Will curses and fires a few more times as he searches for a ship,

"Ye, find us somethin' we can get out o''ere with!"

[guppy_sandhu]

"RUN!" Guppy yells, shooting the two soldiers on the platform. "That was my only kickass move."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

The blaster bolts rebound harmlessly off their armour, this time, as they slide their hooked, claw-like blades out from their wrists and approach.

They're remarkably fast and agile, it seems.

Lagos, meanwhile, starts peering around for a ship that doesn't look like it'd have good security.

[will_scarlett]

Will stuffs his blaster into his belt and moves into them with his sword.

He's not sure the best way to fight those blades but he'll do all he can.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy tries the stun gun, then as a last resort, tries to kick the soldiers in the groin.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

The stun gun makes one crumple, but the second one remains quite firmly standing. Groin-kicking would, arguably, work better if they weren't wearing armour.

Guppy is spared from the immediate wrath of the remaining soldier by the fact that Will has something sharp, is thusly presumably more dangerous, so Will gets swiped at with the claws.

[will_scarlett]

So Will tries to parry the claws as best he can but he still gets some long scratches across his side.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy reaches into his bag, grabs his spray on deodorant and sprays it in the face of the soldier, in the hope of either making it stoned or at least blurring its vision by the residue.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

The soldier seems visibly confused and impaired by the spray (it rather mists up those glowing 'eyes' on his helmet) and pauses hesitantly for a moment.

Meanwhile, Lagos apparently spots a small shuttle nearby, and starts tugging Guppy towards it.

Two soldiers jump into their path, backed up by a person who is clearly not a Sith - an unarmoured, burly man with what looks like a baseball bat.
