When you entered the vents from your hiding room, Ka'el chose to go their own way, indicating you should not worry about nor wait for them.

Taryn: Are you helping with the Mulberry, or are you going for your own ship?

Sera: Distractions, like rigging a trap for the clones inside the ship may slow down your ability to get the ship fired up, not to mention you will then have clones inside your ship. It looks like it is up to you to make that start-up happen. If you want her help, Tai'ar can hold, pull, and push things, but she does not have any specialist skills around stealing a ship.

What do you do?

Sera shouts, "I gotta get this ship running! Sorry, but you all have to deal with the clones!"

She turns her back on her friends, with some difficulty, and opens a hatch into the engine compartment. She hops down and begins fiddling with things, trying to 'hotwire' the ship.

Everyone can hear their slow and bored footsteps approaching. You know their training, and they won't come close enough to get brained by a hydrospanner, but, if you can lure them into the cargo hold, the range of their blasters will be less of an advantage.

What do you do?
Brenya will head to the co-pilot's seat of the ship and hope for the best. Maybe someone will step forward to deal with the clone troopers.

If not, the Gungan will probably be cornered and she will surrender. Even with a hydrospanner, she is not much of a fighter, especially against troopers who were bred to go to wars.

Upon entering the ship, Sera slides her hand along the walls and finds her way to an engine access panel. She pops it open and begins to reroute wires, her hands flying over the panels, diodes, knobs, and circuits.

After a short time, the engines begin to cough and hum, thick clouds of black smoke billowing out. "Um... Well, they're started, but they really need to be recalibrated badly!"

The blast of the engines sends supply crates flying as well--the ship was tucked away in a side area of the hangar bay, more in storage than flight ready. The engines blast the crates away, sending them crashing into the hangar bay wall. Alarms begin to sound at the impact, and small fires break out from the heat of the engines hitting the crates.

Sera grunts and calls out, "Didn't someone say they knew this ship? Whose the heck was it? The circuits here are just loaded with traps! I'll route around them, but this stuff is super dangerous!" Fortunately, she is able to see the pitfalls and avoid them, for now.

In short order, the engines are started. It's loud and they've made a mess, but the ship is safe and ready to fly. She runs forward to the cockpit and looks out the front window, as she begins to press buttons on a side console wildly. "Bantha poodoo! The ship isn't validated in the station network, so I can't open the bay doors from here. But look..." She points to a panel outside of the ship and says, "Someone needs to throw that switch."

Having finished 'helping' Sera, Tai'ar slips into the pilot's seat next to Brenya, giving her a 'do you want to do this or should I?' look, about flying the bucket of bolts.

"Tell them to take off." Findal calls to Sera before darting out the hold and slapping a control that makes the ramp start grinding closed as blaster fire whizzes past him, splatting on the interior walls.

Those in the cockpit see Findal hasten to the far hanger wall, waving for you to make for the bay doors next to him. He deflects a blaster bolt with a backwards slash of his lightsaber —without even looking— and points his other hand at a incongruous piece of hard fruit lying, abandoned, nearby, using the force to propel it directly against the door-open switch. The bay doors begin to slide open.

A grim look of determination on his face, Findal turns to face the trio of clone troopers, two of them open fire on him and he is having a hard time protecting himself from their fire. The third finished talking on the radio —calling in reinforcements, you can assume— then turns to join his companions... concentrated fire from the three expert marksmen —who seems to have had some specialised training in facing Jedi tactics!— is too much for him and he goes down, buying to the time you need to get out.

What do you do?

Sera has her head in a control panel when she feels the ship begin moving. She hops up and looks out the window, shouting, Oh look! Findal's opening the bay doors for us! Wait... why isn't he running to the ship? No! NOO!"

She turns her back to the window and slides down the wall, tears welling up. but then she recalls when her master would say when her emotions got the best of her, and she began to follow her breath, feeling the organic machine that is her own body. After a moment, she gathers her composure, stands up, and heads to the cockpit where Tai'ar and Brenya are, and says, "Findal's... he gone. Let's get out of here--everyone on the station is alerted by now..."

Brenya gave Tai'ar a quick nod and slid out of the pilot’s seat, letting him take control. "Yousa better go ahead. Mesa not ready for dis yet," she muttered, voice low. But as she stepped back, gripping the edge of the console, her jaw tightened. That had to change. She couldn’t keep relying on others when things got tight.

She didn’t let herself look out the viewport just yet. Didn’t want to see the flash of the sabers stop, the slump of his robes on cold durasteel. Brenya closed her eyes for just a second and touched the Force as she felt him gone — grieving, yes, but also grounding. She would honor Findal by surviving—and by learning what she couldn’t do today.
