Vin settles into the seat he had been standing beside. Looking at the console, he sees the controls for both communications and scanners.

Ar-tee swivels its disk shaped head towards Darwin, letting out a rude rumble about 'working on it' before turning back to its work.

Looking over the coltrolls, John sees that the shields are not yet up. Working quickly, he powers up the shields a split second before the Republic fighters pepper the Chainfire with laser fire.

Darwin jukes the ship wildly as the Republic fighters open fire. Most of the shots glance off the ships shields, but the ship jerks slightly as one shot strikes home. Somewhere in the aft portion of the ship, an alarm sounds.

Looking at his console, Vin sees a red light flash on the damage control indicator. With a quick sequence of commands, he discovers that the Chainfire's cargo hold took a direct hit. Its difficult to see how bad the damage is, but the controls show that the cargo hold is loosing atmosphere.

Caster centers the Chainfire's dual laser cannon on the lead fighter. His targeting bracket turns green a moment before the two undamaged fighters open fire. Squeezing his trigger, his first shot punches through the lead fighter's cockpit even as the Chainfire rocks under the impact of the final fighter's laserfire.

"Someone watch comm and sensors; we have a hull breach in the cargo hold. I'm going to check it out."

Grabbing his suit's helmet, Vin heads aft to the cargo hold door. Having never been allowed in this part of the ship before, he hopes there is no access code required to enter. As he nears the doorway he looks to see if there is an emergency bulkhead he can close to keep atmosphere in the rest of the ship when he opens the cargo bay door.

Darwin glances over the readings before jerking the ship into another evasive maneuver to try and avoid fire from the oncoming fighter. "Hold together baby...I don't need to lose two in one week."

If it's possible for him, John will say "Roger that" and watch the comm and sensors as well.

He will also try to strengthen the shields in the aft region of the ship by rerouting energy from the front shields.

Seeing the direct hit and resulting explosion of the Republic fighter, Caster grins in satisfaction. Sliding his toothpick over to the left corner of his mouth, he mutters to noone in particular, "Alright, who's next?"

Caster will search his viewport for another target and try to line up another target lock.

Darwin's evasive maneuvers avoids the worst of the oncomming laser fire from the third fighter. Turning the Chainfire in a tight arc, he manages to put part of the Oblivion between them and the third fighter before it can do any serious damage.

John shifts the shields to the back of the Chainfire in time to feel the shields take several hits to the aft section.

Caster's grin widens as the third fighter fills his targeting bracket. Preparing to pull the triggers, the Chainfire makes a sudden turn, putting the Oblivion between his guns and the third fighter.

Vin reaches the Chainfire's cargo hold door. Looking at the locked indicator, he begins to wonder what his master might have behind that door. Opening the door, he is surprised to see a second door just a few feet beyond. Realizing that the small chamber is set up as an airlock between the main part of the ship and the cargo hold, he steps inside.

Sealing the airlock behind himself, Vin dons the helmet and seals the suit. When he's prepared, Vin opens himself up to the Force, lifting his hand to the keypad, trusting in the Force to guide him.

"Artee, how are those coordinates coming? I can't outrun this thing, but I'm going to make my break for the edge of the debris field."

Darwin uses the momentary cover to star taking the ship towards the nearest open space so that they can prepare to jump into hyperspace.

Caster mutters, "Come on!" as the grin disappears. His frustration quickly melts away as he admits he would have pulled the same manuever were he in the cockpit.

Deciding to take advantage of the situation, Caster swivels the gun to aim at the bottom edge of the Oblivion, ready to open fire as soon as a Republic fighter comes into view.

Opening himself to the Force, Vin reaches out beyond the next airlock. The Dark Side energy coming from the other side of the airlock feels oddly muted. Touching the lock release on the inner door, the door slides silently open. Inside, he sees nothing but darkness.

"Artee, how are those coordinates coming? I can't outrun this thing, but I'm going to make my break for the edge of the debris field." Darwin asks, in response, Ar-tee lets out an optimistic whistle.

Seeing Vin leave the cockpit, John quickly slips into his vacated seat. Strapping himself in, he takes a close look at the scanner information on the screen. As the Chainfire clears the worst of the Oblivion's dibree field, the scanners show the undamaged Republic fighter in hot persuit. "That Republic fighter is closing fast."

Caster swivels his gun turret towards the lower portion of the Oblivion, trying to anticipate the Republic fighter's move. Before he can line up his shot, the undamaged Republic fighter comes around the Oblivion's hull at full throttle. Caster's first shot goes wide as the Republic fighter lines up for another shot.

Glancing down at his console, Darwin sees the Astrogation coordinates scrolling across his console. *Kashyyyk coordinates calculated. Estimated travel time, 1 day, 22 hours, 47 minutes.*

Vin activates his helmet's spotlight, then looks around for the control for the lights. If he fails to find them, he coms the bridge to ask them to turn on the cargo bay lights. If he finds them, he turns them on.

"Everyone hang on. I don't plan on waiting to see what else that fighter can dish out. I'm going to punch it as soon as we are clear."

Darwin accelerates the Chainfire towards the edge of open space, ready to make the jump to hyperspace as soon as possible.

"I can't say I know much about this Kashyyyk, but as long as it's not somewhere that will be actively firing on us, it will be an improvement. Hopefully they have a spaceport where we can repair and restock before coming up with our plan from here on out."

Caster, determined to finish what he started, tracks with the fighter and swings the guns in line. Caster concentrates for a moment and lines up his shot, and then fires once at the fighter.

Vin turns on his helmet's spotlight, illuminating a room that looks more like a mad scientist's laboratory than a cargo hold. Scanning the room, he sees several book shelves along one wall, each filled to overflowing with old books and scrolls. The opposite wall contains a collection of small tables, each with its own assortment of bottles and beekers, many of them are filled with brightly colored fluids. The middle of the room seems oddly empty considering the clutter along the walls. In the middle of this empty space stands a humanoid droid, "Intruder!" Its metalic voice yells as a lightsaber activates in each of its hands. Without waiting for a reply, the droid springs towards Vin.

Clearing the worst of the Oblivion's dibre field, Darwin reaches for the Chainfire's hyperdrive controll.

Caster swivels his gun turret towards the undamaged Republic fighter as the stars around the Chainfire stretch into lines.

As the stars stretch into lines, John watches his console light up with multiple alarms. Looking closer, the alarms seem to be associated with the cargo hold.
