Morai looks around confused "Whats an Ewok?" she asks no one in particular as she waits for Shill and the new Imp to return and hopefully they don't have to worry about him shooting them in the back, luckily he looked like a non-com which should mitigate having him but could make him a liability, she may have to talk to Shill about this.

"An Ewok is like a Wookie but only comes up to your waist, they are also more childlike and not nearly as strong. As for what you need to do next, you definitely need to stop and get some more ammo and probably explosives where you are going you will be going through ammo like it was candy. The floor you are about to go to housed all the test subjects and where the outbreak first spread. Most test subjects were locked up when the outbreak happened but they have since gotten free, an unfortunate side effect that we did not foresee. Once you are armed up you will need to take an elevator. I will stop it part of the way down. You will need to force open the door. YOu will be protected but not completely safe, you will need to lay on your stomachs and fire at the zombies. Of course, some zombies might fall down the elevator shaft but that can be fixed a little later."

After he cleared the room, Shill stepped back to let the mechanic clean himself. His head again cocked to the side as if he were hearing something.

"Do you hear that? It sounds like music?"

"Nope, all I hear is the sound of a ship creaking at the welding joints." Jaxom is out of the suit and wearing a very shabby grey vest and pants of an Imperial spacehand. He holds a toolbox, and is sorting through the tools.

Backing away from the opening where the others are but keeping her weapon pointed that way, she moves down the corridor to where Shill and the Imp went "Hey how's it going down there? We need to exfil this area soon and hit up and armoury" she yells down the hall to them.

Shill stood in the doorway as the mechanic got out of the heavy suit, he kept looking about. When the man was done, she gestures his head back towards the others.

"On our way back."

He moves back, coming to the hallway where the others are, he holds up a hand towards Morai and is moving quickly in the direction of the others, but he stops dead in his tracks and looks at a door.  The rifle is dropped and hangs from the sling at his side.  He moves into the storage room without bothering to clear it. He moves to a storage cabinet and starts to rifle through it, tossing things aside with abandon.  After a few seconds he stops, reaching out gently to pick up a small, clear crystal. He holds it delicately between his finger and thumb. In almost slow motion, he puts it into his palm.  The crystal sits there for a few moments before it starts to glow blue. He brings it up to his chest and holds it there without saying anything.

This meant that he was still worthy. That he still could be...

Kya glanced back one more time then she nodded, closing her eyes and making a mental note of the layout before she reached for the scomp link connector and she unplugged it with a pained groan... She shook her head before she turned and she moved to be near the Twi'Lek, more for her own protection than anything else. As she moved she disconnected the cable at the back of her neck and coiled the wire, holding it in one hand as she drew her blaster with the other...

She stopped and she watched as the male prisoner came close, pausing to start pilfering through a cabinet. She looked at the Twi'Lek and simply shrugged... "So, like we need to get into the armory and grab some explosives and stuff..." she suggested. "The armory is that way" she said pointing her blaster... "One left, then one right to the armory... The turbolift is located two rights passed from the armory" she suggested.

Ran was ecstatic at the thought of blowing some shit up. "Time for my specialty. I'll make the zombies wish they stayed dead. I'll take point."

Ran took the lead to the armory. She kept herself only a couple of meters ahead at all times. She found only one zombie along the way. She blew a hole in its head the moment it turned to come for her. She liked blowing their faces off. She waited for the others to show up at the armory before she began hot wiring it open.

Shill followed the others, his right hand clenched in a fist, a blue glow escaping between his fingers. There is a soft smile on his face and he looks younger by a decade or more.  Only after they approach the armory does Shill slip the crystal into a pocket and bring the blaster rifle back up.

As they approach the armoury Morai moves closer to Shill and whispers "Hey, head in the game, look at the shiny rock after we get off this polluted heap of scrap" before moving back and taking up position opposite the door and goes to a knee "ready when you are"

Shill smiled warmly at Morai.

" It isn't a rock, it is a test."

He turns towards a closed door and plants his left foot and spins, his right foot coming around at a blinding speed. A moment before he hits the door, it opens, his foot comes into contact not with hard metal, but the face of a zombie. coming into contact with a zombie head, shattering it and sending the loned creature flying back.

"My head is in the game."

Morai makes a face before getting up and clearing the armoury and once its clear she starts looking at the weapons cache for spare tibanna gas cartridges, thermal detonators, fragmentation grenades and satchels and carriers for them. As well she looks for suitable armour that she can use, whether it was stormtrooper, Imperial army or navy boarding troops.

She finds a reflective black torso piece that's compatible enough, the stormtrooper forearm and shin guards. "Okay, lets gear up with as much as we can carry and we can scuttle this thing" she tells everyone before heading over to Shill where she whispers "and maybe take the prison ship as our own and get out of here."

After everyone loaded up on ammo, explosives, and whatever else they wanted they made their way to the elevator safely. Once everyone was in the elevator Jan sent the elevator straight to the floor they needed to go to. As promised the elevator stopped short. The Wookie Roryll forced open the doors. An alarm started going off just outside the elevator to draw the zombies to them. The prisoners took turns firing, when they needed to reload they switched places.

The Mandalorian seemed a little ‘excitable’ at the mention of explosives and Kya wasn’t certain that was a good thing. Overly energetic people had a tendency of doing really stupid things, which often led to collateral damage. She let the woman take point, as she had suggested and waited for her to get a good distance ahead before she fell in with the others.

She watched curiously as the male and Twi’Lek made a few exchanges, the man sounded rather cryptic in nature, like he was high on spice or something. Goodness, she thought to herself, maybe coming out here with these people wasn’t such a great idea after all...

Inside the armory she grabbed a few extra E-cells and she found a couple medpacks. She filled a bag with that, along with a few handheld electronic devices and a headset style commlink, which she quickly donned and set to whatever frequency they were using before she quickly moved to follow the others, slinging the bag over her shoulder... She noticed the Twi’Lek moving to whisper to the human male... Curious, she thought, that two strangers were exchanging secrets like two estranged lovers having an affair.

She said nothing however, simply falling in step behind the others and then taking her turn to fire a few chaotic shots at the zombies once they’d reached the lift...

Jan came over the elevator emergency speakers. "Whatever you do, do not throw any explosives down the elevator shaft. Do not worry about any zombies that fall down the elevator shaft. But don't let an excessive amount fall down either."

He gave a nod to Morai and went to work, collecting up what he needed. He took up a number of power cells for both of his weapons as well as quickly taking a few weapons apart to take out specific components. From an Ewebb blaster cannon, he pulls out a small, focusing lens with a broad smile. He also takes a barrel assembly and a few hand tools. He empties out a sling bag that is designed to carry explosives and throws the components he collected into it.

He puts on a comm device and motions for everyone to take one.

"Everyone grab a respirator, the danger with explosives is we could lose air. You want to be able to survive long enough to get someplace safe."

He picks up a respirator for himself, hanging it around his neck.

Shill follows the others out, his rifle held in a low guard position. When he fires, he brings it up and fires a single shot directly into the head.

Once the Wookie had the doors open Ran took up a standard sniping position and began firing. It reminded her of target practice but was more disgusting, way more fun, and challenging since the targets moved more randomly. She kept any zombie in her cone of fire from going down the shaft. After completely draining her battery she rolled to the side to let someone else take her position while she reloaded.

Taking the comms and respirator Morai heads out with the others, when the door opens she's already fully prone and she took intermitant sniping while the zombies were further out or full auto when they got thicker or closer; she almost grabbed one of the fragmentation grenades before the Imp came over the speakers she calmly put it away.

Jaxom grabs a respirator, checks to make sure it's a good one, and then looks at weapons. Finally - a chance to get something better than the crappy crew-issue sidearm! He picks up a blaster rifle and a couple of spare packs.

He mutters "These guys are quick at breaking in... how did they get caught in the first place?"

Shill answered the mechanic's question as he stood back ready to take over shooting as needed.

He gestured towards the Twi'Lek.

"Ship shot down."

There was a gesture towards the Mandalorian.

"A full legion of clam heads."

A gesture towards the slicer with a shake of his head.

"Never said."

"Me, my ship was set upon by a pair of Star Destroyer and we were hit by ion cannons... 4 times. Knocked us out."

He spins around a moment before 3 storm trooper zombies come around behind them, Blaster Rifles raised.  He thrusts his palm towards them fingers splayed. The zombie troopers are thrown back into the wall. He brings the rifle up and puts a burst into the head of each.

Ran waited for the Wookie to need to reload. The moment she laid down she saw a zombie who looked familiar. "Hey I know that asshole. He was in charge of the legion that arrested me. He was a prick." She took very careful aim and shot in very quick succession several shots that severed his head from his body. "That head is mine. I owe him some payback. My jaw still clicks when I eat from the beating he gave me during my 'interrogation'." As she shot the zombies she imagined all the fun ways she could pay him back. Thermal detonator zombie bowling. Speed bag. Paperweight. Use him to turn that bitch behind the speakers into a zombie. Use him to poison the water supply of Imperial worlds. Then a zombie Wookie came by, it stepped on her head destroying it. She spoke some very offensive things about zombies in Mando'a. She then shot the zombie Wookie in the chest several times. She shot off its arms and legs. She then blew its face out the backside of its skull.

"After destroying a capital ship, damaging another and several of those eyeballs you call fighters" Morai adds while reloading her rifle "Now shut up and kill those corpse-walkers again before we join them" she adds as she slots the next tibanna cartridge and popping a pair of bucket-heads in the legs to drop them short of the lift then popping them in the head "The faster we finish this the faster we can get to safety."

Eventually, the stream of zombies died down. Jan lowered the elevator the rest of the way. The emergency light lit the way to the section needing repairs. "I can't access cameras down there. Top secret labs. Only a very select few in the non-scientific staff had access to it. There is no telling what state the floor is in. I can tell you that there are no hull breaches in that area but that's about it. So watch your backs."

Morai is the first to exit the lift, gun raised and does a quick look around the landing "Looks clear" she says looking around at the devastation their barrage caused "well sort of. And luckily we got that Imp bitch off our back for a little"

Jaxom speaks up.
"What are you actually trying to grab from this ship? Let's get what's needed, and get out of here. I wouldn't want to screw around on the top secret lab level - if there's one thing worse than people infected with this zombie thing, it's people infected with this and whatever other crap they were working on down here."
