Caster Thrall drifts out of sleep in complete darkness again. His shoulder aches from where he was leaning against the cold bulkhead. Feeling around, he can feel the outline of a blast door in front of him. Behind him, he can feel the twisted bulkhead that was once part of the hallway. Turning slightly, he feels a pressure along his side where a steel beam is pinning him against the door. Distantly, he thinks he hears an airlock cycle. A moment later, he can barely make out the sound of people speaking.

Darwin and John turn their attention back towards the hallway they had originally come from. A few feet down they stop at a partially collapsed corridor leading deeper into the ship. Tweeting softly, Ar-tee extracts its arc welder and begins cutting through the tangled mess.

Vin serveys the outer bulkhead of the Oblivion, searching for anything of use. Seeing nothing that looks helpful, he begins the treck towards the hangar bay.

Nearly twenty minutes later, Vin leans over the edge of the hangar bay. In its interior, he is surprised to see his Master's Lethisk-class freighter, Chainfire still locked in its docking harness.

Caster lets out a few curses and waits just a moment to let his eyes adjust to the low lighting. "What the hell happened?" he wonders to himself. Caster wracks his brain, trying to remember what had happened and how long he'd been out of it for.

After a moment, Caster exhales and turns sideways as he tries to shimmy his way out from between the door and the steel beam.

Smiling fiercely inside his helmet, Vin activates his comlink. *Guys, I have good news. My Master's ship is still in its docking harness. From here it looks to be intact. Use Artee and search the area you're in for anything else we can salvage. When I have reached the ship and gotten in, I'll bring it up to pick you all up. One of you will have to pilot us out of here, but I'll be able to manage getting in position to pick you up.*

Carefully but very happily, Vin starts making his way to the Chainfire.

"Tell him that 'if he can get it here, I can fly it'. That won't be a problem. I guess we can stop looking for escape pods, and start figuring out where to fly to? Assuming everything is working, I don't think hanging around here is in our best interest. Both space and the ground probably are going to be filled with troops looking for stragglers like us. And I'm sure they'd love to get their hands on a Sith."

*Roger that. Darwin can fly it*

"He should hurry." John points towards Artee. "Vin will will be here soon"

*Flashback* Alarm claxons scream throughout the ship as Caster runs desperately towards the escape pod bay. Without warning, the corridor bucks hard, throwing him through the air several feet. Scrambling back to his feet, he hears the sickening sound of steel tearing behind him. Glancing over his shoulder, he sees a section of bulkhead vanish, momentarily revealing the battle raging in the space beyond.

Staring at the blast door mere inches from his face, he has a moment to realize just how close to death he had just come. A few inches further back and he'd be on the wrong side of that blast door. Breaking back into a run, he nearly reaches the next blast door when the ship lurches violently. From behind him, it sounds like the entire ship is being fed into a grinder as the corridor is plunged into darkness. A sense of vertigo washes over him as the artificial gravity falters. Just as he feels the gravity coming back up, everything goes black. *End Flashback*


For the next several minutes, Caster tries in vain to dilodge the metal beam pinning him to the blast door. Stopping to think, he hears what sounds like an astromech droid on the far side of the blast door he's pinned against.

Half hidden inside the mass of tangled cables and steel, Ar-tee turns its disk shaped head towards the characters. Letting out an excited series of beeps and whistles, the little droid starts the slow proccess of untangling itself from the from the twisted hallway.

Vin works his way into the hangar, carefully serveying the ship as he goes. While the ship looks undamaged, he quickly realizes that there is no power to the magnetic locks holding the ship in place. Looking at the HUD on the inside of his space suit, he sees only 17 minutes of air remaining.

Caster relaxes and lets out a long sigh of frustration. Fiercely independent, he hated the thought of asking someone for help, especially a droid. But, seeing no other way out of his predicament, Caster raises his right hand and making a fist, pounds on the blast door a few times. He then says in a loud voice: "Anybody out there? I could use a hand."

Without explenation, Ar-tee lets out a loud raspberry and turns back towards the door it had been cutting its way towards. Redeploying its arc welder, he returns to the task of cutting its way towards the next door.

Vin checks to see where the power source is for the mag locks holding the ship in place. If he finds it, he'll turn it on if the control is accessible. If not, he'll activate it his own way.

((OOC: Concentration, then Search. If he doesn't find the control panel, he'll enter the ship and see if there is a command he can enter from the ship's computer as he gets the engines online and running (after getting in the ship's pressurized cabin, of course). Lastly, if he can't get the mag locks open any other way, he'll go back into the bay and power up the mag locks through a judicious use of Force Lightning. Spend CPs if necessary for that last bit.))

"Artee, what did you find? Any equipment that could be of use? Anything of value that we can grab on the way out would be helpful."

As Caster waits for what he hopes is a speedy rescue, he will listen carefully to what is going on in his area. In particular, he will listen for any sounds that would indicate air was escaping through cracks or openings in the hull and also any sounds that would indicate other people alive nearby.

Ar-tee lets out a series of bleeps and whistles, explainging to Darwin that someone was just talking on the other side of the next blast door.

Reaching the door in question, Ar-tee presses the pressure switch with its retractiable arm. Nothing happens. Letting out a rude sounding raspberry, the little droid starts the long proccess of manually opening the door.

As Caster listens, he hears movement on the other side of the blast door he is pinned against. Suddenly, the door lurches open a crack, blinding him with light.

As Darwin and John watch, the blast door slides open. Amongst the wires and scrap that fall from the opening is a battered human male. Ar-tee lets out a shrill screech as it is burried under the rubble.

Finding no functioning power source for the magnetic locks and no visible damage to the ship, Vin boards the Chainfire. He checks the air supply one last time while the ship pressurizes around him, 11 minutes. Removing his helmet, he walks through the ship towards the cockpit. Seeing green indicator lights throughtout the ship, he slips into the pilots seat and begins the pre flight checklist.

Half way through the checklist, Vin feels a sense of vertigo wash over him, momentarily disorienting him. Whatever was happening on the surface of Russan was reaching a fevered pitch, . . .

Darwin listens to Artee's beeps and whistles, understanding that the droid is excited about something on the other side of the blast door, but not quite understanding what. Darwin begins to approach Artee as he works, jumping back as Artee gets the door open and the rubble poors in.

"Artee, are you alright in there? Be more careful."

Turning his attention to Caster, Darwin looks for any movement. "If he's still alive, he may not be in very good shape. Lets get him and Artee out of this mess. Hopefully Vin will be back soon with the ship at that airlock. There might be medical supplies onboard."

Darwin begins pulling at wires and metal pieces to throw them out of the way, trying to dig his way over to Caster in order to check his vitals.

John nods shortly.

*We found another, going to help him.*

John puts his comlink away in order to help Darwing clearing the rubble to get Artee and Caster out of there.

If is he is able, Caster will pick himself up off the ground and take a look around.
