About a minute later Shab looked up. "Done." She answered, cheerful despite the electronic tone of the helmet. Picking up her blasters again. "If it weren't for the line of bodies behind you, that weren't because of you, I wouldn't be worried." She explained. Kraven knew she didn't usually go for her weapons until she was sure something was up, and she'd noticed him notice.

==========

In almost a panic as she's unsure how he's armed, Nei launched herself into the air with the Force. Venrii charged through where she was, leaving the space free for her to land again, twisting gracefully to face him before he had a chance to jump her again. In the interlude whilst Venrii regained his bearings, Nei risked attempting to draw the poison out of his system again.

==========

Astra shook her head as she used the Force to aid her movement too. "Men." She muttered under her breath. "Always need to show off." She quickly caught up with Nitsua. "Do you have any idea what this is?"

==========

Fraya sighed, disappointed. This woman was too slow for her entertainment. "There was me thinking anticipation was easier with less options." She stated, before taking her leave and returning to the main chamber, as was normal given her position within the Jedi. Perhaps in a more prominent observation role she could find someone worthy of entertainment at least.

Shab hurried over and deactivated the turrets - that was the easy part. Before setting to with the airlock to the launch bay that Kraven had given her. She was almost done when she spotted movement on the scanners. "Something inbound, looks like one... droid?" She warned, unsure of the reading, it was barely there but looked like it should be a maintenance droid.

==========

Nei ran after the brother and sister, catching up and using the Force to knock Venrii off his landing, her lightsabre activated in her left hand. Venrii landed badly but easily shook it off as he focused on Nei again. Prepared this time she's able to dodge and block his initial attacks, trying not to do too much damage with her lightsabre. Striking out with the Force again, attempting a whirlwind but only succeeding in off balancing him. She risks trying to stun him again.

==========

Astra pauses for a moment as she realised whatever it was was still there. Taking a seat on the floor she retreats within herself, meditating as she applies a Force shield around her mind, at least temporarily blocking interference. Now that she's looking for it, she easily finds the dark kernel of doubt in her mind and dispels it. She would have to look for who placed it there later, she had more important things to focus on now. Job done she retreated from her mind and hurried back after Nitsua.

==========

"He is in the hands of the Jedi. They will pronounce him guilty and then sentence him to imprisonment." Fraya stated. "The Jedi believe life is sacred, regardless of what that life has done." She paused. "With all the destruction in the city I believe the options are more limited, and that it might be more productive for concerned individuals to help ensure the transport provisions are adequate."

Shab and Xam shared a look, before Shab nodded. "Like I though, not a chance." She decided, following Kraven as Xam issued orders to keep their group safe and huddle in a way that could defend their route if the fighting got too near to them.

Shab easily made her way after Kraven, gaining ground on him due to the fact that many people had been taken out after him. A fact that she found suspicious as she made her way quickly towards the control room, catching up with Kraven there as he made a start on the systems. "You sure you know what you're doing?" She teased, automatically keeping a look out, sweeping with her scanner.

==========

As Nei found her footing again after Sara Jane tossed her, she launched herself at Venrii, tackling him off the girl. Before using a force stasis, if she could stun him she could get him to a medical facility. Someone - Jedi or no - must be able to reverse the poison they'd used.

==========

Astra found herself free of the dark shadows. "I could ask you the same question. Did you not feel it?"

==========

Fraya sighed. "If you failed then why would you deserve continued service?" She asked tartly. "Get up and use that fire you had before to affect real change rather than focusing on mere, pathetic individuals."

Shab tapped her visor scanner into action. "The fighting has initiated a lock down, but only in this sector. If I get to the tower I can undo that." She paused. "And providing I'm right about which hangar you're in, we can close that blast door trapping them away from us, and only exposing us to minimum fire."

"And you propose to do that how?" Xam asked. "Even my sponsors couldn't get access to those codes, not for lack of trying."

"It might have been something in their approach." Shab teased. "Local lock downs aren't anywhere near as bad as blanket ones, I've hacked through a few in my time, should be fine."

"And we have the blast door codes." Shkala announced.

"All I need is a little cover fire..." Kric agreed.

==========

Nei scrambled to her feet to drop down next to where Venrii was still convulsing. "Hold him!" She half yelled as she tried to in a few of his limbs herself so that she could use the Force to find out what was wrong with him. Sara Jane tried, but it was proving difficult. "Venom." Nei announced unhappily. She was practically sat on Venrii now to hold him down as she tried to use the Force to draw the venom out of him and heal him.

==========

Astra fought the voices, trying to focus on them without listening to the message. She presently managed to stumble her way to it, where she was confronted by Nitsua on the floor, and a dark presence nearby. She heard a shout, but was too busy fighting the darkness to realise it was herself.

==========

Fraya raised an eyebrow at the threat, maybe this would be interesting after all. "She can handle herself." She explained calmly. "So what's so special about this diplomat, and this bomber? When many have dropped bombs that killed thousands..."

"Day? More like week." Shab teased

"Stop trying to lose us our ride." Xam warned, as they followed Kraven back towards his ship.

==========

Kric and Shkala looked around the corridor as they stood there surrounded by dead sith. "You know, leaving isn't such a bad idea..." Kric eventually started.

Shkala looked up as if he'd hit her. "But, this is our home..."

"Home is where you make it." Kric corrected. "It can be somewhere without a war."

There was a pause, before Shkala gave a tiny nod. "There's no harm in asking..." She suggested. Then they hurried to catch up with the strange group of mercenaries who they'd just met.

==========

Nei blocked Tamos' lightsabre swing before hopping back out of reach, before using the force to smash a hole in the wall behind Sara Jane, surprising Tamos and giving Sara Jane a few moments to make an escape as his grip faltered.

==========

Astra froze as the council debated her suggestion, hearing a disturbing disturbance in the Force. She closed her eyes and tried to focus on it so that she could seek out what had caused it.

Meanwhile Fraya had slipped into the shadows herself, before grabbing Lillithen's wrist and tugging her away from the crowd. Placing her other hand over the woman's mouth before she said anything. "You are not the only Jedi who knows tricks they don't teach." She stated calmly. "Now, why are you here?" She asked sweetly, removing her hand from Lillithen's mouth.

"Civilians, though having grown up in this area I'm not sure that description is entirely accurate." Shkala replied cautiously. "But if you don't shoot us, we won't shoot you."

"But is hitching a ride outta here a bad idea?" Kric asked.

"Leave?" Shkala asked, astonished.

"Might not be a bad idea." Shab suggested. "But we gotta get moving." She added, and even Xam nodded, from what she could see all her reasons for returning to the planet - namely her sponsors - had all gone to pot. Staying was now far more dangerous than leaving.

==========

Nei looked as Tamos stalked towards where she and Sara Jane were stood, briefly glancing at Sara Jane, who looked terrified. Taking a deep breath she relaxed her body, and fixing her stare at Tamos, who looked like he was trying to determine if he should be worried.

After a brief pause he decided that he definitely had the better hand, and started walking towards her again, at which point Nei flicked out with one hand - but not at Tamos - cocooning Dacrott in the force and propelling him straight up in the air. Completing the motion Nei activated her lightsabre, ready to defend herself.

==========

Fraya couldn't help but feel disappointed as she looked around the rooms the council had requisitioned, she had rather hoped the incident with the other group would be far more interesting.

Astra meanwhile was trying to get the councillors to agree to some form of plan. But beyond then agreeing how to clean up the planet, she was getting nowhere.

"Then let me go to the other planets and try to rally some support." Astra requested after finally giving up on trying to convince them to take some sort of committed action. "I'm owed enough favours among the diplomats to secure some alliances."

"Well as mine was conveniently destroyed during the bombing what choice do I have?" Shab asked, having given up on the door controls as the shooting had stopped.

Xam was in the doorway now, blocking Shab's view of it's occupants. "I'm not sure getting there will be as clean as you like." She started, and both Shab & Kraven moved to see past her.

Shkala and Kric had turned to the open doorway as they heard voices, Shkala still with her blasters raised in defence, Kric nearer the door, blade in hand but lowered. "Don't harm us, and we don't harm you." Shkala warned.

"I think the more pertinent question is why the rush, now, to get off the planet?" Kric stated. "What does he know that we don't?"

"There's a war on, in case you forgot." Shkala teased sardonically.

"Yes, for week now, but why leave now?" Kric corrected. "They're clearly mercs, mercs can make good money during wars."

Shab giggled, the enviro-suit mutilating the sound. "That depends entirely on the type of merc." She retorted.

==========

Nei pinched the bridge of her nose. "I feel like I should be worried I forgot that." She paused as she hooked her lightsabre back on her belt. "If you want to continue chasing them then they went that way. However they've looped around over there now if you want to jump them..?"

==========

"And so we're already divided?" Astra observed. "Already descended into vigilante justice?" She sighed, feeling like a school teacher. "Nitsua, Fraya and I are on our way to the council - what's left of it - would you care to join us with the... prisoner?" She invited.

"Maybe this will be fun after all." Fraya muttered as she felt a drastic shift in tension in the group.

Comfy

One time I didn't get the menu option (it just circled around showing my dead squad for funsies), but since restarting the game it hasn't done it since. I know it's not exactly the same, but it suggests that restarting should fix it.

If restarting it doesn't work, all I can suggest is checking the running settings (eg compatibility mode, patch no., admin etc), and if not there are mods (see Nexus & GameFront) for running KOTOR on newer systems as naturally there have been a few issues here and there.
