Blank's shoulders relaxed as Anari stepped closer to him. In spite of how close she was there was no tension in his body. "I didn't choose to be like this. I envy you, I really do. Your inevitable death drives you to do something with your life, it gives you purpose. But imagine for a moment if death didn't mean anything to you, imagine if every time you saved or killed someone you felt just as moved as you did when you took a shower that morning. People act based on their passion, something I have yet to find. So I simply do what I'm good at."

Blank took a step backwards. "Perhaps if this planet weren't so dirty I'd be doing something praiseworthy, but living an honest life here is living a short life. My hand in things isn't as impactful as you believe, if the boss tells me to do something it's because our stability relies on it, any other gang or drug pusher doesn't matter. Maybe if you and the Republic keep going things will change." He shrugged and looked back to the entrance. "So, I have somewhere to be, are you going to let me go?" He looked back to her. "Or do you believe letting me go will result in something horrible happening?"

"What makes you think I know this ship?" Fufuro asked. "I mean, I do, but still." She grumbled and looked around after stepping through the newly made hole. "This is an old transport ship, the design is pretty generic really. We need to head straight, then make a few turns to the bridge." As she finished speaking the door to the room they just escaped was shot down. Kale flung one of the table legs into one of the droidekas, disabling it's motors and blocking the others path. 

"Let's move!" Kale moved ahead with Fufuro and Lahana following. As they continued the sound of the remaining droids rolling after them could be heard becoming louder and louder. 

"They're going to catch up to us if we stay in this hallway. I can stay behind to-" Lahana cut herself off. She wasn't thinking, there had to be a better idea. As she was running she noticed the pipes above her, and a plan struck her. "I need this." She said, taking the metal slab. She slammed the slab into the flooring, lodging it into place to block off the hall. The droids stopped and uncurled to begin blasting the hindrance. Lahana threw her lightsaber into the pipes on both sides of the corridor, releasing carbonate gas. As she caught her returned saber the gas had already begun to harden around the droids, locking them into place. "Fufuro, Gloopra, you two go on ahead and deal with that man, we'll make sure nothing else comes."

Fufuro nodded and continued running. They eventually came to the locked door to the bridge. "Stand back." Fufuro said as she pressed a button on one of her grenades before tossing it by the door. After a few seconds it exploded, tearing the door apart. Drawing her blaster she rushed in. "He's escaping!" She said, seeing a man in cobbled together armor pulling himself through a hole in the bridge.

Flambe slowly put her hands up and turned around, and then looked down with a confused expression. "A child? Well, That's not so odd a sight on this planet I suppose." She looked at the dead bodyguard, then to the weapon's dealer. "I hate to be trite and pull rank here, but you [i]do[/i] know who you're trying to steal from, don't you?"
