Thyte dozes on and off while sitting in the captain's chair. He watches with a smirk as reporters report on the happenings of the Battle of Kalshebbol and the freeing of the high king in the smelting stations of Kolatill. Stev is trending high among young girls searches on the holonet. The INN is defending the staged news footage they tried to pass off as real. Polls show the High King should easily retake control of the high concuil. In all not a bad week or so of work.

Thyte is awakened by Vallens on security,"Captain the engineers have tested the starports fuel and fluid tankers and it tests out as good. I am giving the greenlight for refueling."
Thyte sees the fuel tankers and the fire protection crews hooking up to the FarStar. He watches for a few moments then returns to scanning the planets news media. He runs across a holodrama he watched when recovering after his injuries and checking to make sure Hydan and the Helmsman are not watching lets it run for a few minutes. He drifts back to sleep.
Thyte is awakened by alarms and Hydan's voice.
"What do you mean the ion engines have a radiation leak? We are not showing anything on our engineering boards. It can't have a leak." Hydan calls to Vallen.
"The fire suppressant crew has detected a ion leak. They say it could irradiate the entire block." Vallen states behind him you see a spray of foam from a dozen fire speeders douse the engines. Vallen pulls his weapon and points it at the starport crew chief. "Stop the crews now!"
"I can't," the crew man replies,"If the sensors are right this leak will breech and kill us all. So shoot me if you want I am not letting everyone at this starport die."
Thyte bolts out of his seat and heads for the airlock ramp out. He realizes going down is unless. they must respond to a ion leak on a capital sized ship immediately. He also knows that the foam will harden and take days to remove from the engines. On the way he hits his comm waking Kaiya. "Captain we have a problem. The FarStar is grounded."

Lowfrynn arrives and begins to rally the engineering team to attack the engines blockage. The material is made to resist heat, radiation, and energy. It comes down to scraping with physical tools. Something which is slow work in the delicate ion engines.
At 0822 the wind suddenly picks up for a short period of time. Shortly after 0830 lights flicker and holonet is downed briefly.
"Yahoo!" Ensign Hydan yells through the bridge. "The Torpedo Sphere just disappeared into hyperspace. The bridge crew joins him in his cheer.
Thyte half smiles and half just bares teeth with scarred skin stretched. He watches the scans for any sight of the strike team. heir order where to maintain silence and find a hiding point on the planet. He wants a full debrief, to know that all are safe. To break silence would endanger all of them. Even normal communications give the central computer a chance into their systems. He was not willing to give it a chance.

"Sir we have incoming forces." Lilith announces.
"What could they want now." Thyte growls,"Get on the comm with starport brass."
Starport security rolls and marches out surrounding the ship. It is followed by Imperial troop transports.
"Lowfyrrn get your men inside now. Vallens put security on full alert. Krudar get weapons tracking the transports.
The Starport Administrator comes on the coms and her voice is blared over speakers across the tarmac."FarStar crew you have been place under house arrest. Any crew leaving the ship will be subject to immediate arrest."
Thyte looks to Lilith,'Warn the Captain."
"Sir, She is at the mushroom cutting ceremony. We have no way of contacting her during the event."

Thyte pulls his people in as the troops surround the ship.
"We could move with repulsors," Haynor states from the helm.
"We would move at a snails pace and the starports turbolasers would drop us." Thyte responds.
The announcements continue,"Repeat FarStar crew you are under house arrest. Any crew leaving the ship will be subject to immediate arrest." The announcement continues on a loop around the ship.
"Commander Thyte the Captain is being arrested. They are taking everyone." Lilith states.
"Not everyone," Thyte smiles,"We have a unit of troopers and two ships full of crew coming in. Use every method of encryption you can and send a message on a direct line to the team from Aariss. Tell them to come in under the cover of merchants. Don't let anyone know they are New Republic and try to gather information on who the power players are and how to take them out. Tell them we have others in play they can group with to pool resources."
"What are we going to do? Just sit here like a beached Navduaak?" Haynor complains.
"For the moment, yes." Thyte responds not liking his answer any more than Haynor.

Lacking much they can do off-duty crew gather in The Belly of Beast to watch the show. Pot Shot cheers Lodor explaining to Lilith and any that will listen that he taught him everything he knows.
Will sits quietly in a corner and the young Cathar Keri brings him a drink.
The elder Rorn sits with Thyte and Hydan. Each has been going for over days straight and Hydan dozes in the booth.
Pot Shot from behind the bar takes a sudden spit take as the sniper fire covers the stage. "What is going on. Thyte we've gotta get out there." He sees the pair of K-9 security droids in the mirrored walls of the tavern. The mirrors save Pot shot's life. He ducks behind the bar as they begin to spray the bar with blaster fire.
Thyte pushes the table up and the three drop behind it. He extends his arm blaster and returns fire hitting the security droid. Will grabs the younger Rorn pulling her behind him as the blaster fire strikes him again and again. He falls on her even protecting her in death.
The droids continue to fire and crewman duck for cover a couple of engineers too late and they lay dead on the floor.
Pot Shot pulls a blaster rifle from behind the bar and joins Thyte in return fire taking down one of the droids.
From the kitchen Gorbonza the Gammorian rushes the second droid. The droid fires first putting down the one legged cook.
Robotic Bay
Beldon sees the spray of programming language burst over his screen. "DD-19 we have a full blow virus outbreak in the droid command systems. Shutdown all droid systems before it spreads further. DD-19 shutdown all..."
The electrical jolt runs over Beldon and the programmer slips into unconsciousness his last memory a robotic laugh.
Medical bay
The medical droids begin to introduce overdoes levels of medication to the patients.
Dr. Arkhanseh sees the red alerts and rushes into the bay. He sees Geena Seedar on the ground. He sees patients shaking in overdose spams. "What are you doing. Shut down all intervenous feed systems begin charcoal solutions to counteract..."
Instead of obeying the medical droids roll toward him each extending it's surgical tools. Whirrling drills and laser cutters close in around him as a small cylindrical object crosses the room. Flying through air it lands in the outsretched palm of QuinLan Vos.
Across the ship all 100 support droids begin to maim and destroy. Outside the ship the Battle Droids begin the close as one.
