"While I'm all for reunions, I need to put this one under the knife," Rald says, motioning down at Maya with his hullepi. "Preferably, somewhere quiet where I can work in peace for several hours."

Use my room, it is that one over there. Amon points out which one.

Roah, I was picking up something for Jac when the fight broke out on the promenade. I decided to help these people out. It is only a matter of time until the bucket heads figure out who I am and come looking. I killed one and wounded another. I doubt they will let that slide.

Several hours? Kel shakes his head in dismay The'll be able to turn this station upside down several times in several hours! Can't you just patch her up quickly so we can get off this station?

Corran turns his head towards Rald and asks:
"If it's not to much to ask, would you mind fixing up my leg first? It's not going to take you long. I'll do it myself if I have to, but I think you'll be better at it. I have a medical kit you can use, so you won't have to worry about me wasting your resources.

[spoiler]Was going to do a First Aid up until the point I spotted the -5 Penalty to do so on yourself. Considering how I've rolled so far, I doubt that a d20+2 will net me 18 or higher...[/spoiler]

"Sure, just a second to put her down." Rald unslings his medical duffel from his back after laying down Maya, and starts bandaging Corran's blaster-shot leg. Unfortunately, this isn't some easy thing to do," Rald replies over his shoulder to the dashade. "She's pretty badly hurt, and I need time to stop her bleeding and set her injuries straight. I'll need at least an hour, but I'll try to keep it as short as possible. There's really no other choice unless you want her to die."

[spoiler]Treat Injury on Corran: 1d20+9=28. Hell yeah! 15 points of healing!

Surgery on Maya: 1d20+9=25. That's enough to heal her con mod*her level in HP, and removes any persistent conditions. I'll perform first aid after for additional healing if I can after the surgery: 1d20+9=24 for 9+her hit die hp healed.

"We sshould have sssome time. Thisss Sstation iss about 800 meterss by 800 meterss by 800 meterss if memory sservess. While there isss no doubt they will turn thiss station upsside down ssearching for uss. We sshould have time for the Khil to do hiss work on her." Silten says after considering the size of the station. "But he iss alsso correct in that they will find uss eventually."

Very well then. I shall keep monitoring their position over the computer, and if they get too close, me and the Jedi will go out and start making some noise in a different dirrection. How's that for everybody?

Silten stays busy while Rald works, by trying to refurbish the malfunctioning air recycler. Soon after the air feels a bit cleaner in your lungs and most of the bad smells are gone.
[spoiler]17[/spoiler]

"Thank you, you have no idea how long that thing has been needing an overhaul." Roah thanks Silten appreciatively. "I have a few more things in need of repair if you have the time to take a look at them. Getting any type of maintenance down here is next to impossible these days."

Silten continues to work on various tasks Roah sets him to. When he returns to Amons room he takes the datapad that was slipped to him prior to the fight and begins to toy with it. "Now, letss see if we can ssort you out." he says to himself slicing into the datapad.

"Roah is it? Would you have a vacant room available, and does your refresher have a bath?" Seela askes handing a number of credits her way.

"Yes I do, and I will see about making sure the refresher has been cleaned before your ready. Some of the other sentient guests can be rather messy."

Seela heads off to her room for a bit and then off to the refresher for a relaxing bath, thinking better of it after entering the "clean" bathroom. *sigh* "Guess it's going to wait.".

Maya is resting comfortably after the procedure and her color looks better than when you first saw her. A dip in a Bacta tank would have done her alot of good but the surgery you performed appears to have done the job.

Jerran had been sitting while the surgeon went to work. When the slicer mentions the word 'jedi,' his blood momentarily runs cold before he remembers the display at the promenade. He looks over at the Trandoshan, then gets up. Maintaining a calm demeanor, he says to Amon, "If you don't mind, I would like to have a word with you. In private, if possible."

Sure. There should be a quite place over here. Amon leads Jerran to a corner away from all the noise.

"Thanks."

Strakhov seizes up the area and places himself with clear line of fire to the opening he deems most probable that any stormtroopers would come out from. He keeps his blaster pistol within reach.

"I'd like to think that we've escaped for now, but I have a rule against relying upon things that I would like to happen." he says to nobody in particular.

Retreating to a remote corner, Jerran follows the Trandoshan away from the business of the others.

"I'm sure you could sense that you weren't alone here," he says, and pulls his cloak slightly away to show his concealed lightsaber.

"I didn't know that anyone else had escaped the... the purge, or whatever they're calling it. It's just good to know that they didn't get all of us."

Glancing back over at the others briefly, he continues, though in a more sullen tone, "But there is another. During the fight, I sensed another force-sensitive, maybe a jedi, maybe not, heading for this station from the planet below. I don't know who it is and I don't know their intentions, but they've been on their way at least since Seela was doing her report."

I was not purged, because I wasn't trained by a Jedi. I was taught by monks. So I was never around when the Empire started cleaning out the Jedi. I am no fan of the Empire and their bully tactics, so you can expect my help for as long as we are together.

As to this mystery adept headed this way, I have no idea who they may be. It certainly isn't one of the monks and I have not run into anyone else, beside you at least, that could use the force. We should be ready to fight them if needed.

Having finished cleaning up from his medical foray, Rald rejoins the group.

"She'll need some rest, but she'll live. The longer we can keep from moving her, the better. We need to get off this station, though, and the longer we take the harder that will get." With a shrug, the Khil looks over to the Dashade and the Sluissi before continuing "I'm not a bad hand with computers, would either of you like some assistance getting back into the system? It stands as our best chance to learn about what's going on around us."

Considering what the Trandoshan has said, Jerran responds, "I believe I do not need to tell you that the Empire will not hesitate to wipe you out as readily as they would me. It's just good knowing that the Force remains strong in allies of the Light."

Furrowing his brow, he continues, "As to this mysterious adept, I am hoping that it will not come to a fight. I've remained hidden so far, until I can find enough others sharing the cause. I will be ready, however."
