Alora ducked the swing of a wicked looking halberd, then swept off the droid arm that held it before swirling and deflecting a blaster bolt.

-Well, this has got to be one of more honest receptions we've gotten,- she mused, watching as another bolt went through the edge of her swirling robe. -They didn't even pretend to be glad to see us. Master! Protect her! ...Thank You.-

She clenched her teeth as Tiji turned just in time to meet the droid that had intended to attack her from behind, then whirled with a slight creak of armor to meet her own next opponent.

"Ah," she winced, then sighed, embracing the new power in her mother and using it to finish healing.

"Alright... I'm alright, master," she said softly, hands falling as she summoned her saber to her belt.

"He's proud of you," Alora whispered without thinking, giving her a quick kiss on the forehead before stooping to pick up her own weapon and heading back through the breach. Part of her was cringing just a little and half-waiting for Carth to come thundering around the bend in full overprotective cry.

Tiji kept back her doubts about the being her mother served now and followed her, reaching for the comfort of another Jedi's mind again.

-Hey kid, I'm a little busy,- Atton informed her grumpily, and she felt his exertion.

-Oh. Well, we're waiting for you to catch up. And becareful, there's a ton of booby-traps here,- she sighed, then started when she felt a deep exlosion and Atton's grim feeling of victory.

-We've noticed.-

"Atton?" asked Alora absently without turning.

"Yeah. They're dealing with the booby-traps too," she said, blushing at having been caught.

-Kid, we're coming. Just be patient and tell that pretty mama of yours to try and hold still so we can find you,- Atton sighed.

-No Carth.- She stood tall and looked sideways down the way they'd been going, then cocked her head and listened, brows lifting as an image formed in her mind's eye.

"There's a forcefield up there that's a cellular disruptor. The control for it's on the far side... go back." She turned and shoved Tiji gently back through the breach, then hurried to the next wall of the room and cut through it, making a way parallel to the corridor. "Tell the others, in case we can't shut it off."

-Mom says just do what you can down here. We've got this covered,- Tiji sighed.

-You ok, kid?- Atton frowned.

-I'm good. Keep my old man safe,- she grumbled.

-I've got his wheelchair greased and ready for running. You just watch your back. Atton out,- he smiled. Tiji sighed and tuned out of the link, then looked at her mother.

"It's all good," she promised. "They're downstairs doing what they can."

"Atton remembers that the order is escape and THEN blow the place?" Alora cut through another wall and stepped through, then paused to look at the stacked crates with a scowl of surprised dismay. "What are cryo units doing here?"

"He says he's ready to run as soon as he's allowed," she smirked, then frowned, hurrying forward to investigate, then blanching. "What do we do now?"
