Korga fires back at Xanatos, but by this time he is decidedly sluggish, and his blast strikes the floor a meter or so to the left of the CEO.

"Mm-hmm," Needa agrees tersely as he fires yet another blast into Korga's chest and the mercenary at last succumbs to his wounds, slumping to his knees with a garbled growl, before crashing heavily to the ground.

OOC: Lorth Needa dealt 7 wound points to Korga Gorzak.

Xanatos moves over to Korga's body, setting his blaster to stun as he fires a couple of blasts into the unconscious mercenary for good measure.

Needa makes his way quickly over to Juno, deactivating the containment field.

"Are you all right, Lieutenant?" he asks grimly, frowning.

"I'm fine," Juno pants, teeth gritted as she staggers out of the containment field to lean against the wall, still trembling. "I didn't tell him anything."

Xanatos appears to have discovered the activation chip for their cuffs on Korga, deactivating own cuffs before extending the device for Needa to do the same.

"Of course, Lieutenant," Needa nods to Juno approvingly as he accepts the device from Xanatos and uncuffs his own hands, rubbing his chafed wrists as he glances about. "All right, we have a way off this facility, but we need to leave before more of these ruffians become aware of our escape."

Juno moves over to pick up Korga's blaster.

"What's your plan with him?" she asks as Xanatos places his cuffs on the Klatooinian. "The galaxy would be better off without him."

"Possibly so," Xanatos allows. "But that will be a question for Kessel's planetary authorities to decide, not us."

Rising, Xanatos glances at Juno.

"In the meantime, how bad are those injuries? I'm not a licensed medic, but I have seen my fair share of workplace accidents. Do you object to my attempting to heal them?"

Juno ignores her bruised and scratched skin, as well as a gash on her shoulder.

"I'm fine."

Needa sends her a disapproving look, before turning to Xanatos.

"If you can patch up Lieutenant Eclipse, then please do so," he says firmly.

Xanatos looks between them. It's clear that while he is inclined to side with Needa as to whether Juno is or is not fine, he is also unwilling to heal someone who does not want to receive treatment.

"The choice is yours, Lieutenant," Xanatos says to Juno. "You may sit if you wish me to heal you, or you may keep going if you prefer not. I doubt you will collapse immediately without treatment, but you will be more useful if more thugs find us if you will accept treatment. That is merely my own opinion, though; I will respect your decision."

Juno sends him a long-suffering look, but at a firm nod from Needa she sighs.

"Fine. Work your magic."

Xanatos sits cross-legged and makes a gesture indicating Juno should do the same.

Juno gives Needa a look which clearly says 'is he for real?', but at another curt nod from the captain she reluctantly plonks herself on the floor beside Xanatos, looking at him expectantly.

"Opposite," Xanatos says patiently, his concentration on a blue orb of light that is slowly forming between his hands.

Juno sighs, sliding herself around so that she is facing the CEO, as behind them, Needa moves over to the door to keep watch.

She is rewarded moments later by a cool, soothing sensation that feels like bacta gel has been spread over all her wounds as, brow furrowed in concentration, Xanatos sends the orb of light towards her chest. For a moment the blue light surrounds Juno before it slowly dissipates.

OOC: Xanatos healed 5 vitality points to Juno Eclipse.
Xanatos healed 8 wound points to Juno Eclipse.

Juno stares in disbelief as she raises her arms, which now display not even the slightest bit of bruising, and then at her shoulder which no longer bears even a scratch.

"How did you do that?" she exclaims in amazement as she deftly pulls herself to her feet.

Even Needa looks impressed, raising his eyebrows at Juno's fully healed state.

"The Force," Xanatos says simply, rising and brushing the carbon dust off his robes.

Juno continues to glance at her shoulder for a moment longer, before moving over to scoop up and don her singed, black lieutenant's jacket from the canister beside the desk.

"Looks clear," Needa informs them from the doorway. "Let's go."

OOC: Lorth Needa rolled 7. Hide.
Lorth Needa rolled 18. Move Silently.

"Do you know who was behind the attack on our ship?" Juno directs at Needa in a low voice as she begins to pick her way stealthily out into the corridor after him, blaster held at the ready.

OOC: Juno Eclipse rolled 12. Hide.
Juno Eclipse rolled 17. Move Silently.

"I'm afraid not," Needa murmurs in response. "All we know at this point is that Korga was in charge of the operation here. But I doubt he had the means and skill to pull off something like this on his own."
