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.

Carth sighed and did as told, then followed her. "What's going on now, sweetheart?"

Alora glanced at him with surprise. "We're clearing the place before we blow it up?"

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

"There are more?" he blinked. "How many?"

"Tiji and I found two rooms full of tanks," she replied grimly, ducking through the hole she'd cut into the wall. "At least some of them are children."

"Hmm," Carth said darkly, knowing his daughter wouldn't have reacted well to that and more than ever wishing he'd gone back with her instead of the idiot Atton. "How are we going to get them all out?"

Startled, wary eyes turned toward them as they entered, then relaxed at sight of Alora's robe. Most of the people were already out of the tanks, and those who were feeling better were helping those who needed it.

"Jedi," one young green skinned Twilek said, voice full of relief as he helped pull a young human child out of a tank and clean her off. "The Republic has finally come?"

"We're here to help," Carth nodded, going over to where some elderly aliens were struggling.

Alora knelt next to a weary looking woman with a rounded belly, her throat closing off in concern at thought of what being in the tank might have done to the baby. "How are you feeling?"

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

"I feel dizzy," she murmured.

"Do they have a ship?" the girl in the Twi-lek's arms asked softly, staring at Alora. The young prisoner looked at Carth hopefully, then smiled when the veteran nodded.

"Yeah, they do," he held her close, then put her down.

"Sick dizzy? Or only light headed? Are you in pain?" Alora mentally turned toward her Master, asking Him for help in everything that they had to do.

"Light headed, not sick," she said, touching her forehead. "Oh, where are those horrible men? I'd like to given them a proper beating."

"Don't worry. As soon as we have everyone out of here this place is rubble." Alora turned her head and listened toward the door, then turned back and put her hands on the woman's head. "Master, please help her feel well?"

"Hmm," the woman sighed and leaned back.

"How are we going to get everyone around here?" Carth frowned, going to help some youngsters out of thier tanks.
