Realisation (RP)

- Taryn -

You came here through hyperspace, so there is no way these clones could have followed you from Belor. Nevertheless, they are heading for you now.

The erratic rate of return-fire makes you think it is probably station staff, or a merchant vendor making a valiant —if doomed— stand.

What do you do?

- Voss -

This room was meant to be a safe room, so it does not have exposed ducting, skylights, or even windows. It is, however, constructed of flimsy 'space station interior walls', so it will be the work of a moment to cut an opening into the ductwork that inevitably surrounds it.

Finding the exact right place may take some finesse, or a sense of the machine layout, and lightsabers leave distinctive holes in things, so that sort of escape route would be easily followed... though the clones are larger than most of you lot, making the ducts a tight fit for them.

What do you do?

- Brenya -

You have to crawl on hands and knees to move through the access tunnel. There are cables stapled to the ceiling, occasionally drooping down and forcing you duck even further or shove them aside. Left or right does not seem to make a difference.

• What are you hoping for? A quick way out of the cramped space or a way to get as far from here as possible while staying off the streets? You have both options.

What do you do?

- Voss -

You find quickly that your new arm also gets in the way, it is much larger than you are used to, and every time you move it bumps into things. The metal of the duct booms like a drum each time that happens. Here's hoping that it sounds louder inside than outside, or that the noise of battle will drown it out.

What do you do?

You all can definitely move through the service tunnels, that is what they are meant for. Progress will not be easy, especially for some of you —for your own reasons— and there are risks. But it is a way out.

What do you do?

- Sera -

Presumably you stayed at the back to try close the panel after all your fellow Padawans have escaped?

By the time Findal —who stood guard by the door until the last minute— finally crawls in you can hear the fighting outside still for a moment, then a boot lashes against the locked door, shaking it in its frame.

What do you do?

The airflow in the access tunnels is blocked by the bodies crawling before and after you, it quickly becomes uncomfortably hot and sweaty in here.

From outside you can still hear the sounds of sporadic fighting. "I hope those aren't other Jedi, Padawans." Tai'ar mutters, only to receive a dirty look from Findal for discriminating. "Does anyone hear lightsabers?" She asks, ignoring him.

• How far do you trek through these endless tunnels? Where do you want to come out? Where do you come out? Anyone should answer.

The space station does not have guns, not ones that could target and shoot down an escape pod, even if they could detect lifeforms.

This would leave you on the surface of a planet, and they are emergency devices, not designed to find a particularly comfortable planet, just one you can survive one till 'rescue' can arrive. But you know that the ship you came in on is only large enough for yourself... unless you wanted to get really intimate with someone in its single seat. It is also, probably, known to the clones, so they may be watching it and the hyperspace ring(*) you left in space when you arrived, so it is not really safe to go for that.

Descending to the planet only postpones the need to 'get away'. But it may buy you time to make plans, time you don't have on this station. The clones are unlikely to expect such a plan, so your route the escape pod should be fairly clear. When all the pods launch, they will know it was someone escaping... or someone making it look like someone escaping. The won't know which pod to follow, so they will be forced to check them all out.

The ships in the hangar will almost definitely be locked ... and guarded, but maybe your group can overwhelm the guard force? You are Jedi, after all, and they are just clones.

What do you do?
