Shab takes a deep breath as she pulls on the Mandalorian training her father gave her to withstand interrogation techniques, and as her mind clears she grabs one of her blasters and fires a shot at Darcott, enough to disable the Force technique that was holding them.

As Shab dives to cover Xam flicks one of her concealed knives at Tamos, nicking him before using the chain to bring the knife back to her waiting hand, before darting out of their line of sight.

Nei: I doubt it, I'm nothing special. *pauses as she looks at Sara Jane* Yes, she is powerful, and it might be your wish to take her to the council, but does she not get a say?

Shab: No.

As she turns back to Xam she signs one simple word - talk - making it look like she's requesting the datapad back. Xam gives it her and turns to the two men with the sweetest smile she is capable of. Shab meanwhile subtly repositions herself to watch them whilst using the datapad to hack into the security systems.

Xam: What kind of pet were you thinking? We've crossed paths with many people today, including furry ones. I'm sure we could help you.

She leans on the crate next to her, leaning just enough to emphasis her femininity, distracting them. All the while exuding pheromones, hoping that if she keeps them talking long enough they'll fall under her sway enough for her to persuade them to leave.

Nei turns to Venrii, wary of his claws and how near to both him and Sara Jane she is.

Nei: If you'll allow me to wake her, I believe she will be able to speak for herself.

Nei stays very still as she looks between the two men, but poised to rejuvenate Sara Jane if Venrii grants permission.

Omg, you're alive! I was starting to worry. And those shifts sound brutal.
==========

Shab watches as both men leave, via very different methods, before heading back to the cantina to have a word or three with Xam.

Xam: You didn't pay me for the last information.

Shab: You didn't give me any information, we were interrupted, remember?

Xam: You still want to know about the jobs?

Shab: Not quite, I want you to track down their sponsors. *tosses the datapad she offered before back onto the bar* Please. *turns to leave*

Xam: *takes the datapad and stares at it for a moment* I'd stay away from the docks for a while.

Shab stops turning and looks at the falleen, even with her face obscured by the envirosuit it's clear she's expecting Xam to follow up on that. Xam sighs as she puts the datapad away and pours them both a drink.

Xam: Those two kids who decided to argue with a Force-sensitive, I sent them to the docks with a message. Thought to keep them out of Force trouble, turns out that that got them deeper into it. *finishes drink*

Shab: What did you do?

Xam: I didn't do anything. They went with a message, they were ambushed by a dark-Jedi and some other guys, from what I could tell they all got out alive on the ship, but those guys were all but trashing the dock in a rage because of it. They've killed every security guard they've dared send.

Shab: *curses and makes some rude gestures in Ubese, before taking the drink as a full shot into the suit* Come on, you're pretty much security, you can help me get my ship back.

Xam: But-

Shab: You really think your sponsors will want their profit margins interrupted by an angry Sith?

Xam considers this before realising Shab is right, and making a rude gesture of her own before both women head towards the docks to try and find a solution, violent or otherwise.

Nei: I would hazard a good guess that the shock wave was Sara. Regardless, if we are going back, is it possible to stall long enough between getting docking clearance and docking to enable this guy to meet us? That gives us a five verses two scenario, even if all we have to do is get him aboard. Assuming of course you don't plan to just shove us out an airlock and we can depart once in relative safety?

Nei: He said with, not that you were. Not that it's my concern. *pauses* However those men will have your ship name and ID, if you try and redock on Junkka they will be able to trace you. So either we need a plan to fight, or a plan on what to do instead.

The other two briefly share a look and Nei realises that she doesn't know any names, and that if either of them opt for fighting, they're going to need to know everyone's skills.

Nei: I'm Nei. And did that girl know she could use the Force?

Nei drops to Sara Jane and checks her pulse before pushing some of her Force energy into the girl to provide enough rejuvenation for her to regain consciousness.

(Hopefully this is the last full post not part of the story)
Ah. But Nei was trying to break up both pairs of fight, so it was one of Tamos/Kraven and one of Dacrott/Venrii. Unless I got confused who was fighting, which I didn't think I had. If you wish to change either one from my jumping the gun choice then feel free. But it's the one in each pair a force user "can sense the most darkness in".

Nei found that hiding was relatively easy, her Jedi robes by now were dirty, smudged and torn, so she simply looked like many of the poorer space workers and so didn't stick out if she stuck to the sidelines. So sneaking out of the cargo bay she'd stowed away on was as easy as sneaking in.

She tried to make her way out of the docks - unaware of what planet or station she was on - but was distracted by sounds of fighting from one of the hangars she was trying to pass-by.

She ducked down behind some crates where she could get a look, and saw two pairs of men fighting, one with lightsabres the other two canine men fighting with their teeth and claws. She doesn't need to rely on lightsabre colours to tell what side of the force they fell upon, and whilst she might have left the Jedi behind them, she hadn't done so to avoid doing good.

So she closes her eyes and draws a deep breath as she channels that familiar feeling within her to control the force. As she fixed on the power she opened her eyes and twisted her hands to create two force whirlwinds trapping the half in each fight she could sense the most darkness in.

Shab: *chuckles* Such self-righteousness on something you profess to know nothing about. Tell me, is that why so many Jedi fall to the dark side?

Xam: This was never about screwing him over, dear, just distracting him. And why are you asking me? I make no claims to be any sort of moral compass, what you do should be what you want to do. There are no obligations. *pauses* Though I would recommend at least saving your friend.
