"Here is your hydro-spaner master Allerick." Following Allerick around IG will hand him various tools when asked for.
Widget explains their current situation as he now understands you are here with Sirona and also working for the Senator.
"We were working with Senator Organa. We were on a mission to intercept an Imperial agent and retrieve information he had. We planned it carefully and escaped with no issues. However, we soon found out the agent had alerted the Imperials and a capital ship had jumped into orbit before we left and caught us dead to rights as we made our way to a hyperspace jump point. We caught some heavy damage and ended up here. The information is all stored in the ship's computer, which is offline. Since it is not a vital component to take off, we have even scrounged from that system for other repairs. If we abandon ship, we lose what we fought, and some have died, for." offers Widget forlornly.
As an afterthought, Widget asks you, "How did you fight off that beastly spider?
Allerick with IG-MDz's help, can easily make the repairs. The last thing you need is to run a powerline from the Banshee to the Bantha. Once you have enough siphoned power, you are good to go.
As an afterthought, Widget asks you, "How did you fight off that beastly spider?"
"It went smooth enough if I may say so myself," Alistair says without any hint of arrogance, his tone showing that he is merely making an observation.
He then turns to Stone, "There is little I can do in here, so I can come with you."
However, before following the other man outside, the Jedi pauses for a moment and closes his eyes, taking a deep breath as he lets the Force guide his senses where his eyes and ears cannot reach.
"Thanks, Iggie. Hand me that spanner. The one with the metric toque converter. That one," Thumbing his comm, he broadcasts to the party, "As soon as we have that cable, I should be able to get us flying. (Comm off) Alright Iggie, let's see to the Hyperdrive."
Contrary to his usual self, Allerick working is actually a pleasant human being. Next, he'll see if the two of them can get the hyperdrive working again.
"Of course master Allerick." IG trails after Allerick, "This one?"

Widget looks at you incredulously. "Seriously? That thing was as bigger than a Rancor!" he spouts, disbelief apparent.

Allerick and IG-MDz work together harmoniously to make the repairs competently and quickly. You still estimate the total time for repairs to be between 2-3 hours. Add about another hour to that to ensure power is restored enough to get vital systems up and checked.
"Thing? Bigger than a rancor?" Alistair echoes Widget's words before answering. "We fought six spiders, but they were not that much bigger than you or I."
The Jedi sighs. "Those are not the spiders you are referring to? There is a bigger one out there?"
"Widget are you saying that Captain Jade has perished? Colvin looks a bit upset over that news if it is true.
"We are getting to where I draw the line, blasters on a space station, fine. Monsters on an asteroid not fine! We had better go back and make sure that our ship is not on the menu".
Colvin heads out with Alistair and Stone.

Colvin heads out with Alistair and Stone.
Widget looks at you with his over-sized, watery eyes. His lips quiver as he tells you, without a doubt, that the captain has perished.
"We lost about half the crew as they were out assessing the damage. Those things were like ghosts! Cap'n Jade fought that huge thing off brilliantly. He bought us time to get back in the ship. The last thing I saw was that monster picking up his limp body and shaking it!
He puts his head in his hands and rubs, hoping to scour the memory out. He recovers slightly and offers hopefully, "I think he may have injured it too. Don't know fer sure since we holed up here, hoping for a miracle."
Colvin turns to Alistair as they exit the ship to assist in Stone's patrol, "Alistair can you sensse if there is someone alive out there? Widget says that Jade died but all he saw was him being picked up by a gargantuan spider".
Three of you - Alistair, Stone, and Colvin - venture out to guard the ships in the cave. The mood is somber, knowing that the spiders you fought must have been hatchlings if what Widget said is true.
Minutes tick by, slowly, meticulously. Occasionally tremors shake the core of this vast asteroid, each movement chattering teeth and causes debris to rain down.
Shadows dance across the cavern, made more distracting due to the crystalline structures uncovered more and more from the falling debris.
Perception -
After storing the crystals in her quarters, Kess goes after the others headed outside. When she meets them, she joins in the search.
After storing the crystals in her quarters...
Four of you pace outside, unsure of what to expect.
Two of you work diligently inside the Bantha to make the necessary repairs.
Time ticks away until Allerick and IG-MDz manage to coerce the ship into a pre-flight sequence.
As Widget assists in the program to get the ship moving, Alistair and Kess feel a surge in the force and detect something...elusive. It was there a second ago, come and gone like a viper in the thicket.
"Iggie, any problems with the pre-flight? Is the hull holding under flight conditions? And where did everyone go? That's just like them, never around when the real work gets done."
"Everything seems fine master Allerick. The others went outside to watch I think. Widget riled them up, saying somthing about a gargantuan spider lurking around." IG says distractedly focusing on the monitor Allerick asigned him to.

"Gigantic spiders lurking on an asteroid, eh? See, that's the kind of nonsense you believe when you start thinking you have mystical powers... Shoddy thinking, that is."
IG halts in his duties and looks thoughtfully at Allerick, "I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss their claims master Allerick. I have memories of such people decimating whole batalions of droids single-handedly. It would be interresting to see if there is any truth to their claim. Who are we talking about again?"
"This is... odd," Alistair says simply as he opens himself to the Force.

"Hmph. Maybe, Iggie, but I've seen enough wonders that I can explain to need to worry about the ones I can't. Besides, all I've seen of a lightsaber and mystic mumbo-jumbo so far indicates that all it gets you is more problems and a self-righteous attitude. I'd like to see them rewire a hyperdrive!"
** spoiler omitted **
"Well Stone there is a big part of me that would like to get back on the ship that is working and get the hell out of here right now. Then there is this other part of me, the crazy part I guess, that thinks we should try to rescue Jade, after all that is what we came here to do.

"Something is out there. Dark, sinister, but not like these spiders. More...focused, I think. I'm all for hunting Jade down, Stone."
"We also need to seek something -or someone- else out as well, Kess," Alistair says softly to the young woman. Starting to move towards the Force-user he sensed at a quick pace, the Jedi unsheathes and ignites his lightsaber as he does so.
"There is another who can wield the Force here and his intentions are not good as far as I can tell," he remarks to Stone and Colvin.
"This Force user seems directly focused on us. I don't think the ship will be having any problems. Let's follow Alistair."
Kess goes after the other Jedi, igniting her own lightsaber as she does so.
