Akanseh looks to the boy,"I am sorry for you and all of the young ones like you. The crystals structures are built to certain resonant frequencies to transmit particular force energies. If the crystal structure was disrupted in some way it would change or destroy the crystals abilities. Each crystal contains what was named a force spyder. The spirit is what causes the crystals to grow assimilating the hosts material to develop the crystal."

Tevan looks at Jessa "How much do Imperials other than Sarne's core group know about his prisons? Do you think they have any idea how many Force Users are on board the FarStar? Could they possibly send in..." Tevan shudders for a moment at the coming thought "...Inquisitors?"

Jessa thinks for a moment,"Most of what Sarne does is just rumor to other Imperials. He would only give each underling, no matter how close to him, a piece of his full plan. I know he collected force sensitives and implanted crystals into him. I heared rumors of a large facility in the outback where he was creating his hyperspace pods. These project that whispered to be called Storm Giant was outside my knowledge area. Sarne will know about Quinlan because he has his son. He also knows of you and your friends. He obviously suspected I had force abilities though I had used drugs to suppress them all of my life. I have not seen Inquisitors in the Kathol Sector in 5 years. They did pass through and collect some of the "talent" for their own service. One of them was Locian the son of the High King. From reports he may have a team of Inquisitor trained forces with him. That may be who you saw below the Church of the Prophet."

"That means they already know we're here and what we've done. Leaving the FarStar is risky, but we can't just stay here and wait for them to make their move. We've got to evacuate the Force Sensitives before Locain brings his team in to get us."
Tevan rests his chin on his fist for a moment as he ponders their next step. "As I said, if anybody can sneak out of here, Kl'aal can. We can sneak out of here with him, blend in with the crowd, and then see if we can regroup with the ashore crew. They'll need to know about the Inquisitor team anyways, otherwise they could end up stumbling into something way out of their league. Que's going to be...indisposed for a while, but by the time he's up I think he'll be able to handle whatever they could throw at him. So..." he looks at Jessa inquiringly "are you in? Like it or not, they're going to treat you like one of us now. The least I can do is offer the positive side of being lumped with us."

Kl'aal, Jessa, Mikal, Jenna, and Tevan are sitting in one of the escape pod holes below the ship. Kl'aal drops down and works hard to stay what little shadow remains with spotlights in all directions. He looks side to side and does not see a shadow to goto. The lights surround you in all directions.

Tevan whispers "The second that light moves I need everybody to run. Got it? Okay, three...two...one..." Tevan focuses on the nearest searchlight during the entire countdown, and as he reaches the end, he pulls the light from its mountings on one side, causing it to tip over and fall. As it goes, he begins running with the rest of their team, hoping the distraction will give them enough time to rush to safety.

The spotlight tips and falls and rolls into the next spotlight tipping it out of place as well. The light of each breaks. The team runs in the darkness.
Battle droids call and yell to each other. "Malfunction of stabilization system for illumination device." 2 dozen droids stand around trying to compute how to change 2 large light bulbs.
Finally a group of pit droids arrive and begin to fix the 2 spotlights.
In the confusion the group ends up in an unused hanger beyond the perimeter of the droid guards. Beyond the perimeter the starport is almost vacant. Kl'aal looks to Tevan,"So where do we go from here?"

Tevan looks back at Kl'aal with a sheepish grin on his face. "To find the rest of the crew. If you want specifics...well, I was kinda hoping you'd know, being the stealth expert and highest ranking member of Field Ops and all. If we were looking for a hive of scum and villainy to dig up some info on mercenaries, where would you go first?"

'The Docks," Kl'aal states simply and begins to lope ahead into the night. Jessa and the children follow as best they can. Kl'aal seems to find a scent once they make it to the docks. "I smell bodyorder, gungrease, and hair mousse. Only one mercenary cares so much about his hair and so little about his smell. Thanis." He continues through the shadows. Sticking to the back alleys of this area proves to be a poor choice. Tevan notices men following behind, men on the rooftops above, and finally three closing before them. The alley is a narrow one and only you and the men closing in are in sight.

Tevan may only see a few men, but it might be a good idea to know their full numbers. He looks ahead in the Force a few moments in the hopes of discerning their battle plan.
Forsee: 2FR. Result 2LP 1DP, so using the 2LP to get a glimpse at their full numbers, and hopefully how armed they are as well.

 The thugs before you in white have slug throwing pistols and improvised melee weapons (clubs, pipes, chains, fishing spears). The 4 on the roofs (they are not in the buildings) have true blaster rifles. The sneaks in the alley have knives and slug pistols. Kl'aal is in the darkness going up the wall to the snipers on the roof on that side. You have control of the kids I'll control Kl'aal and Jessa. --- The thugs before you yell out,"Are you lost mab. This is a scary part of town to be lost in with little ones." Jessa walks forward into the light pulling back her cloak to show her imperial uniform."I am on Imperial business that is none of yours. Make way before I have troopers raze your little mudhole town." "An Imp aye. We was just gonna rob you. No we are gonna enjoy us some mab." The thug smiles. The thug behind him tugs on his sleeve. He thrusts a beat up old model datapad in his face. "She's on the top ten. Sarne put 100,000 cr on her head." "You just became the golden goose." The thug waves his hand forward. roll for initiative |

OOC: For difficulty, I assumed these were Street Toughs. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
Jeniaya take a step forward and looks at the most talkative thug, making slight gestures as she focuses on altering his mind. "Look buddy, Sarne doesn't just throw around those kind of credits because somebody spilled caf on him. You're out of your league here. You'd be better off leaving us alone."
While Jen tries to work her magic and solve this peacefully, Tevan and Mik are already focusing on the thugs looking at her. If any of them so much as try to fire a shot at her, they're going to become intimately familiar with what it feels like to have every bone in your body broken at the same time.
Mechanics: Influence Check Discipline vs Discipline, 2A1FR vs 1D. Net result 2 successes, 2LP, so activating control power of believing a falsehood for 5 minutes with the range upgrade so Jen doesn't have to get close.
Initiative: Tevan-3 successes 1 advantage. Jen-2 successes 2 advantages. Mik-2 successes.

Time check- 43:04:18 at about 0400 in the morning. This is the third day since the High King called the court to vote. Voting will happen on day five. The group was arrested yesterday at about 1200. The FarStar impounded shortly after.
The thug looks to her and smiles,"An unarmed woman and 3 children I'll take my chances." He voice doesn't seem to be as sure as he is trying to make it.
A blaster bolt takes the datapad out of his hand. You see him look to the shooters side his face going white with fear.
You hear a deep gruff familiar voice call out,"You need to listen to them. One you are out of your league. Two the bounty is mine."
A slicker voice calls,"These are claimed by House Twi'Legara. Now make way before my friend Thanis shows you why he has the reputation he does."
The thugs don't stay to hear the full declaration. They run from the alley.
One on the roof screams as Kl'aal rips across his face with claw as he retreats.
Turning into the alley comes Thanis followed by Low'Khar. On the roof you see Scourne stand holding her sniper rifle.
Low'Khar smiles,"It would seem Lt Dejaas that you owe me one."

Tevan almost wants to explain that the only people that owe him are the thugs, but he's just glad they didn't have to resort to violence. He's gone this far without having to take a life, and he'd prefer to keep it that way. He clears his mind again and releases the tension in his arms as he says "So, I don't suppose this place is suitable for a private conversation?"

"Not here but we have secured a transport that is clean. Follow me." Low'Khar waves them on. You see Low'Khar's assistants appear out of the night each is securing a weapon back in compartments of their clothing. You follow the Twi'Lek and mercenaries to what looks like an old refuse collector. The assistants take the driver's cab as Thanis pulls a lever to lower the back gate. The first 3 feet is garbage and junk but moving past it you find it is a front for a 6' by 15' chamber. It has benches along the side and a rack of blaster rifles and pistols.
"Sit down and lock in," Scourne says as she does the same herself,"Nizzal is not the best driver."
"Now what brings you to these dock and what do you have of the crew and ship?" Low'Khar asks.
