Elias was just starting to draw his left hand blaster when the familiar sound of an acquaintance's blaster rang out, downing the pair on his left. Deciding that the station was already damned to destruction, he took aim with his wrist launcher and fired a rocket, sending the Bothan and Weequay rushing at him from the right sprawling, though neither moved after they came to a stop. Tyrell's rushed explanation spoke volumes about why he'd been sought out by the man and he shook his head, resuming his approach to his ship, though he now jogged and bodily threw several beings out of his way. "What's wrong, Tyrell? Finally get crossed by your crew?"

The man was well known for getting the hell out of dodge before Imperials showed up himself, nevermind his and Elias's rivalry. However, that was neither here nor there as the light of the Ray Shield came into view, along with the crowd of people trying to find a way around it. Opening the com channel, he contacted M8-B0. "I'm about to get through the crowd outside. You ready to blow that shield?" A series of beeps and whistles answered him as he pulled his Nebula and fired into the air, again dispersing the crowd between him and his ticket away from the doomed station, which shook with a fresh impact. "I know it's going to get messy when they try to rush through. But if the Empire sticks to it's usual plan..." As if on cue, the sound of blaster fire echoed down the hall, mismatched variants and that of the Imperial Stormtrooper's E-ll.

He strode forward confidently all the same, ignoring the now fleeing beings who'd decided to find a ship that wasn't behind a security ray shield. "Now." He and Tyrell, who he assumed was still following him, were still ten feet away when one of the auto-cannons fired at the shield's projector, destroying it and sending sparks and smoke flying out. "Move your ass, Tyrell!" He fired his jetpack to soar through the gap and turned, a spray of flame keeping the remaining beings from trying to rush his ship. A leveled blaster keeps them from moving after the fire clears. "Now you all know who I am and you all know what I've done to every stowaway and would-be starship thief who's ever tried to steal my ship. Care to join them? No? Then I suggest you stay put."
