"Alternative transport? Where would that be, exactly?"
Rufus weighs the option of just leaving this group and finding his own, legitimate, way off the station. He also remembers his spacer's chest was still out by the station's docking ring.
Exhaling in frustration, Robbidon draws his blaster and turns back towards the entrance and looking for a mechanism to close the blast doors. "Ok, well, 'Maya the Alderaanian Security Agent'. Those troopers are not going to take long to get here, and they're going to be a bad mood when they do. Can we hurry this up?"
LE it looks like a messed up protocol droid (when I read the description it almost sounds to me like a punk attitude)
Look people, I know that we are going to have to move. Trust me on this. we need to go now!!
Dreams continues to look back the way that they came with blaster in hand.
Glad I don't have much, and its all on me.
"The troopers are the least of our problems." Christon turns to Maya. "Let's get outta here." He then thinks he shouldn't have gotten that much into the Empire's jaws.
Kol looked up at the woman, a stray bit of conversation suddenly registering.
"Alternative Transportation? You have a ship? Which bay? I might be able to access maintenance crawlways to get there." He said hopefully.
Lak looks around to see if there is anywhere that could possibly offer a hiding space or alternative exit to the hangar.
[dice=perc]d20+0
Lak steps to the side at the mention of bucket heads and switches out his baton for his blaster. Checking for obstructions, a habit he picked up long ago, he turns the safety off.
There does not seem to be any place to hide.
The protocol droid presses a few buttons on a panel and is able to tap into the communication systems of the station. What is heard is chaos. People running all over, blaster fire as people fight back against the Storm Troopers. In all, the station is in disarray.
The protocol droid begins to type onto a data pad.
Maya, the ship, as you requested is in hangar bay #2. This data pad has the codes you will need in order to access and use the ship.
Christon checks whether hangar bay #2 is far from their actual position, wondering if they'll have to sneak or use brute force.
"Wow, I sure tendered my resignation at the right time," Rufus says when he hears the chaotic sounds coming over the comms system.
Lak simply waits.
Enough idiots running around without using their head. Might as well let someone else take the lead on this one.
Look, you know the station if you worked here, so you lead. I will bring up the back. The rest, just fall in as a group and keep an eye out for bucket heads, as we are leaving.
Dreams emphasises by pointing first at Rufus, then himself.
Let's go, hangar bay 2, move it.
Hanger Bay 2is on the opposite side of the station.
When they find out whhere Hangar 2 is, Christon sighs. "Alright, as he said" pointing to Dreamchaser, "let's get going, quiet but steady. The sooner we start walking, the sooner we get there."
Arue sighs, but knows best it's time to move. She could only hope this would end up in some credits, but within her she was glad to find out more about what really was going on, especially if it was something the Empire would dislike. The soldier nodded quickly, military, then moved towards the doors to inspect and give the clear.
Lak, seeing the others begin to move, finds a space in the middle of the pack and moves with them.

"Well, 'worked' is sort of a-- Okay, okay. I'm going," Rufus says as he starts heading down the corridors he hopes will have less chance of stormtroopers.
Dreams pads along at the back of the pack, with his blaster in hand.
Damn, I hoped the bucket heads never got here, but I see it is past time to go on.
He continues to look behind and to the sides as they move along.
Once the group has "established" a marching order the dug moves out with the rest. He swivels his head as they come to each corridor merging. Occasionally one looks kinda familiar from his week or so on station but for the majority of them they remain faceless.
Great if you needed help to die by suicide all one would have to do is climb your ego and jump to your IQ level. THat's how much attention you are giving the area he chides himself mildly upon realizing he has been focusing on the corridors and not the area around them as the move.
His mental chiding seems to snap him into paying more attention as they continue to move. He begins to recognize just how dilapidated the station really is "underneath" all the shiny chrome covering.
His blaster still drawn, Robbidon Jaas looked from Lemm to the others, then around the room again, and then back at his droid business-partner and shrugged. "Yeah. Well...ok. But lemme tell ya...I've got a bad feeling about this..."
** spoiler omitted **
Maybe about 15-20 minutes.

You sense that they are in the area of the station but seem to be preoccupied.
Before you leave the droid will press more buttons and send a call that the woman who was shot is headed in the opposite direction that you are heading.
As you enter back into the main corridor you see that there is chaos. People are firing at the storm troopers while they fire back. People are running around trying not to be shot. There seems to be a call for reinforcements as people on both sides are shot.
Will anyone be aiding in the Stealth check?
Maya stealth
Rufus seems to be able to find a path that is relatively hidden from the majority of the blaster fire just as a group of storm troopers seems to be coming down the hall.
Lak moves up by Maya and takes care to silently point out things, as they begin to move down the hallway, that could cause complications to their quiet and quick movements.
He manages to point out several places that water, or was it oil, had dripped and a couple of times Lak pointed out were bearings had gone astrew on the floor leaving a large area of tricky space to move through.
Getting a beep on his pad, Kol said "Yesss!" and pumped his fist. Then he frowned.
"Vark me. It's on the other side of the station!" He grumbled.
He hurried ahead.
Dreams continues to pad along at the back attempting to obscure the route taken.
With the distractions and the party working together you are able to get to the shuttle bay.
USE THE FORCE CHECKS.
Dreams looks around the hangar, and then hits the door close.
Hoping that holds people, but lets go
Ducking through the doors as they closed, Kol used the power prybar to pop open the control panel, reached in and pulled out several fiber optic cables, just to make sure they couldn't be easily opened from the other side.
When they arrive, Christon checks for nasty surprises, when suddenly...
As they enter hangar 2, Lak takes a quick look around to find somewhere to hide if needed.
He thinks he might have found somewhere as he looks around.
The Dug and Kol see a ship whose schematics match those on the data pad.
Lem sees that the bay looks like it is in good repair and has several ships docked.
Christion Ryder's senses tell him that the Dark Side energy has shifted, and is heading towards the bay.
"So, which ship is it? And, why take one when we can take several? Why give them one target for all their ships to shoot at, when we can take several?
I am sorry, the post I posted about you getting your stuff must have ben eaten. I think I sent it the day that everything went down.
If you are trying to be sneaky you will need to make 3 stealth checks, 1 to get there, one while there, 1 for sneaking back to the dock.
"Whatever we're about to do, we better do it now. They are coming."
I can fly most things Lak pipes in. He looks around to see what ships he has flow before.
"Found the troopers!" Rufus announces.
