Re: ELROOD SECTOR: Episode One: Industrial Intrigue
Vale channels his Force energies and directs a strong Force push at Adair, hoping to trip him up badly so that the others have a better chance of getting to the cart first.

Zuul
Zuul watches Clark head for the trucks. "Call when you find it!" He decides to focus on the crates, asking the B1 Droids which crates have arrived in the last hour. "There iss a bomb here somewhere. Which crate or vehicle iss unusual? Not a regular shipment."

Radell Mining Corporation (RMC) Headquarters Building, City of Elrooden, Capital of the planet Elrood, Capital World of the Elrood Sector, Outer Rim Territories
'Outside' Group: Vale, Kael, Kit and Kato
On the Skywalk, the group spots Adair and 'friends'; dressed as RMC Security Guards and making their way to a Repulsor Cart. Vale attempts to call on the Force to 'Push' the man to the ground, but the range is too great and he lowers his hands and lets out a sigh of annoyance as he 'hears' his old Master in his mind's eye; 'Force Push is to be used at close range.....say, within 5 or so meters my apprentice....'
Meanwhile, Kit ignites her Lightsaber and the sudden sight of an albino Wookie that's carrying a lit lightsaber and running towards her foes causes a great many people to move out of her way in a hurry!
Up ahead, an RMC guard who is directing traffic, sees his 4 'co-workers' race past him with no signs of helping everyone and as he calls out; "Hey! What are you doing, help me help these people get to saf-", his words are cut off as one of them shoots him down with a blaster and the man falls to the ground just a few meters from the closing in party of NRI Agents.....a holstered Blaster Pistol and a Stun-baton on his his belt.....
Kael and Kato, following in the wake of the Wookie see the guard get shot down and estimate that Adair and his buddies will get to the Speeder Cart VERY soon and they are now about 20 or so meters away.....
'Inside' Group: Zuul and Clark
Inside the Storage Area, Clark and Zuul go to work trying to find the bomb; noticing the big B1 Labor Droids continuing to move crates here and there. Zuul calls out to the Droids, who answer in a simpleton-like voice; "We just load and unload crates boss. Should we stop?" and they all do so for a moment, causing the Barabel to imagine looks of village idiot confusion on their faces.....if they had faces....He realizes something is weird though as all but one of the B1 Droids stop working and seem to wait for him to say something. That one is continuing to hold the same crate....it moves as if it's picking it up from one stack and then moves to add it to another stack, but it never sets the crate down....continuing the same motion over and over....
Professor Clark sees quickly that all of the crates have an RMC 'seal' on them and his eye is caught by the one moving B1 Droid doing the same motion over and over again, just as Zuul is. He also realizes that the crate it continues to hold does NOT have an RMC seal on it.....

Kael will angle towards the downed man, hoping he can grab the two weapons as soon and he can.
Re: ELROOD SECTOR: Episode One: Industrial Intrigue
"That's got to be the one!" Clark shouts to Zuul as he switches direction and heads straight for the malfunctioning droid. When he arrives, he will attempt to snatch the crate from the droid's arms and place it upon the ground.
Re: ELROOD SECTOR: Episode One: Industrial Intrigue
With a heavy sigh, Vale dashes toward the cart as quickly as he can.

Zuul
Zuul moves to the crate with Clark. "Put down the crate, please." He orders the B1 droid to comply. Zuul looks around for a crowbar to open it, failing that he uses a vibroblade.

'Outside' Group: Vale, Kael, Kit and Kato
As the group of NRI Agents reached the far side of the Skywalk, they saw Adair and his 3 buddies leap onto a repulsor cart at about the same time that Kit'katarra the Wookie reached the other side with her lightsaber ignited and stood about 10 meters away from the mad bomber and friends. Meanwhile, some 5 meters back (15 meters from the Adair and co.) Kael scooped up the Blaster Pistol and the Stun Club and Vale and Kato spotted a second Repulsor Cart a few meters away from the group of 'provocateurs' and saw that said agents-of-chaos spotted them*......
'Inside' Group: Zuul and Clark
Zuul and Clark realize the strangely behaving B1 Labor Droid and the non-standard crate it continues to cling too are indeed where the bomb is located! Clark moves to attempt to wrestle the crate down, but suddenly the Academic finds himself moving rapidly too and fro and off the ground as the 3 meter tall droid continues its strange motions, keeping the crate sometimes as much as 5 meters off the ground before jerking it back and moving it to just a meter off the ground and then back again....
Zuul orders the Droid to lower the crate to the ground as he looks around and notices both a hydro-spanner (crowbar) AND a set of Droid tools on a nearby workman's table as the simplistic Droid brain just responds in a VERY basic voice that sounds like a toddler with a deep bass voice; "Must lift then place crate...lift and place crate...lift and place crate...lift and-"; and on and on and on....
The Academic and the Barabel realize quickly that they're going to have to either attempt to blast the crate out of the rather large and sturdy Droid's arms OR utilize the tools to shut the Droid down.....and just at that moment, they get the OH-SO-HELPFUL (and slightly out of breath) voice of Jameth saying; "We've got the building almost entirely evacuated.....just the last few of us....running out now.....two minutes until detonation time...."
OOC: *Okay, Kit is in position to attack the crew on the Repulsor Cart as they power up and they'll move past her....the others are 15 meters away at present....they can attempt to rush in and get an attack (the rushing over will count as 1 action) or take action from where they are....

Re: ELROOD SECTOR: Episode One: Industrial Intrigue
Clark releases his futile grip on the crate. He is not that technically-savvy, he knows he won't be able to reprogram the droid or rewire it or anything fancy like that. He quickly considers his options:
1) Cut through one of the droid's arms so it will release the crate. Or pry the crate from its arms. Difficult to accomplish while the droid is moving.
2) Cut out a portion of the crate to expose/remove the bomb. Again, tricky while the droid is moving the crate around!
3) Smash the droid's head until it stops moving. Lacking any weapons, this will have to be done the hard way.
"Zuul, we've got to stop it moving. Get its head open," he says, pointing to the hydro-spanner, while looking around for any other heavy-duty tools.
OOC: We could really use a lightsabre right now!

Kael will steady himself and aim ant the carts left forward repulsor, attempting to make it unable to travel and use a force point and fire.

Vale Starcloud is distracted by a ring of static and shouts from his commlink. He picks it up and responds, "What's that, Clark? You found it?! I didn't foresee that one. Okay, I'm on my way."
Vale turns and sprints as hard as he can into the building.
OOC: As soon as he sees Clark and Zuul, if he thinks it will take too long to reach them, the young Jedi will hurl his (unlit) lightsaber as far as he can and use Telekinesis to draw it toward them, spending a Force Point to do so, with a "Here, catch!"

Zuul
Zuul grabs the hydro-spanner and gets to work. He'll try disabling the droid by decapitation or destroying a shoulder.
If he sees how to open the head, he'll use the tools to do that and then use the spanner to wreck stuff.

'Outside' Group: Kael, Kit, Kato (and Vale)
Kael, the one-time Imperial Diplomat turned NRI Agent, stopped as Kit and Kato rushed past him and Vale inexplicably turned around and sprinted back the way they came and his focus narrowed to the Repulsor Cart holding Adair the bomber and 4 'friends' dressed as RMC Security. His arm extended out to full length, his aim went down the barrel of the Blaster Pistol he held in his outstretched hand and he took a deep breath, closed his eyes for a moment and stroked the trigger....His shot was one in a million....it sent a bolt PERFECTLY into the front of the cart, slamming all the way thru the power coupling that connected the Repulsor engine to the thrusters and the cart came to a sudden, shuddering stop.....launching its' driver and 3 passengers violently to the pavement in the process!
Kit'katarra the albino Wookie made for a terrifying sight as she raced full speed at the suddenly stopped Repulsor Cart and its 'ejected' passengers with a humming green lightsaber in her hands. One of the Mercs painfully raised himself off the pavement and started to point a Blaster Pistol her way and then with a swing and a distinctive sound, she cut him down....and nearly into two parts....with a powerful swing of her weapon....
Kato's mind raced with ideas of what was the most......Jedi-esque?....way to fight unarmed as the cart was stopped by a fantastic blaster shot from Kael and one of the goons ended up crashing down and rolling to a heap right in front of him. He shook his head in a daze and attempted to get his blaster pistol up and pointed at the psuedo-Jedi who was now just a couple of meters away*.....
Vale heard the call from Clark over the comms and he quickly reversed direction and raced back towards the loading dock and Storage Area where the Professor and Zuul had found the bomb. As he got closer he saw his two companions were near a massive B1 Labor Droid who was holding a crate, but NOT setting it down. When he saw the Barabel LEAP onto the Droid, he figured the bomb must be on it. He could see and hear Clark yelling to Zuul to disable the simple-minded Droid, so he trusted in the Force and HURLED his lightsaber towards the Academic...reaching out and FEELING his TK ability help guide the cylindrical weapon to his long-time companion's hands.....
'Inside' Group: Zuul and Clark (and Vale)
Inside the Storage Area, Professor Clark and Zuul realized the bomb was attached to the crate the re-wired massive Droid was NOT letting go of....
Zuul growled and keeping a tight grip on his hydro-spanner he moved forward in a burst of action and leaped up and onto the back of the B1 Droid and used the claws of one hand to dig into an area at the back of one of the Droid's grasper arms and he slammed the hydro-spanner into the back of the machine's head with all his strength......While the blow would've brained almost any humanoid species he had ever encountered, it barely made a dent in the massive, solid Droid's head and did NOTHING to stop its actions. Growling, he realized the hydro-spanner would bend or break before he was able to do anything to the Droid....
Clark took this all in and was about to suggest something when in his peripheral vision he caught sight of Vale racing towards him, some 30 meters away and he was hurling a silvery, glittering cylinder towards him. The Professor INSTANTLY knew the object was Vale's Lightsaber and he was not surprised in the least that the weapon did NOT follow a logical trajectory, but rather half flew/half floated into his hands. With a quick glance up, he quickly formulated on the idea of giving Zuul the weapon to defeat the B1 Droid's thick hide and shut it down....and then the Barabel could use his knowledge of explosives to HOPEFULLY diffuse the bomb!
As if on cue, the worried voice of Jameth came over the comms; "Okay, we're all out of the building....one minute to go....what's your status?"
OOC: *Kato is in brawling range....or could try something else....
Kit is within melee range of Adair and the passenger who landed near him.....Kael is about 15-20 meters from those two and about the same from the one near Kato
Zuul is on the back of the B1 Droid with Clark right at the machine's feet and Vale about 15-20 meters from them

Clark figures it will be faster to simply hand Vale's Lightsaber to Zuul than to ask him to get out of the way. He quickly passes the lightsaber to Zuul, "Here, try this instead!"

Zuul
The red hue over everything as his frustration boils to the surface slows his response to Clark. Zuul turns to look at what the human is barking about and there as if bathed in a golden light, is the wonder that is an energy sword.
His frustration evaporates as he takes the device. A wide grin spreads over his face as he ignites it. A cackle bellows from his throat as he stabs, slices, and specifically scalps the droid.
