"I know," Sev agrees, as he moves into the room before them, blaster raised.

The room appears to be a small control room with a desk and terminal in the center and a series of lockers lining the walls. A small camera appears to be fixed into corner of the room to their right, while a door stands to their left.

Sev steps into the room and swiftly takes aim at the camera. It proves to be trickier than he anticipated to hit as his blast misses it by a few centimeters. He takes another shot which also misses. He coughs as he lines up a third shot, taking care not to make eye contact with Tank.

Tank snorts.

Sev frowns.

"This is not as easy at it looks, I'll have you know," he says reprovingly, closing one eye as he lines up a third shot. This final shot somehow strikes the plate on which the camera is attached at such an angle as to ricochet back at him, forcing the Jedi to dive wildly to the side as his blaster clatters across the floor.

"All right hotshot," Sev groans as he picks himself up, "Let's see you try and hit it."

"I almost feel bad for this, but..." Tank raises his blaster, lined up his shot, and fires a direct hit that shatters the front of the camera and leaves it gently smoking.

OOC: Tank Kolto dealt 13 points of durability damage to Camera.

Sev remains obstinately silently for a moment, eying the smoking camera reproachfully as if it purposely orchestrated the situation. At length he shrugs.

"All right," he says, tossing his own blaster to Tank, "From now on you do the shooting, I'll stick to a lightsaber. There is also a good chance someone saw that," he adds, "We'd best see what we can find from this terminal, and swiftly. You any good at slicing?"

"I mean I know what a password is..." Tank trails off.

"Do you happen to know what this password is?" Sev quips back as he slides into the chair in front of the terminal, looking thoughtful.

"There are a couple of Republic codes we used out in the Jagomir System," he says idly as he keys in a few different attempts. All appear to be unsuccessful with his final attempt drawing a rude beep from the terminal as it completely locks down.

OOC: Sev Zallow rolled 7 using 1d20+5. Computer Use.

"...I guess they didn't believe in reusing passwords," Tank says glumly.

"Apparently not," Sev agrees grimly as he rises from the desk, "All right then, let's see what-"

He is interrupted as the door before the desk slides open at that moment to reveal a pair of green skinned Rodians, blasters held ready before them.

"I'm guessing they saw the security feed," Sev says through gritted teeth, ducking behind the desk as two blaster bolts whiz overhead.

"They certainly had time to," Tank quips, diving for cover next to Sev and also raising his blaster.

Sev gestures for Tank to remain hidden as he does the same, closing his eyes and holding the hilt of his lightsaber in his hands. At the door the pair of Rodians slowly move in, the leftmost one signaling his partner to circle around the desk from the other side as they move forward, blasters trained for any sign of movement. The pair come around the desk in unison, blasters firing. Sev ignites his lightsaber as he leaps out slashing the Rodian nearest him across the chest as the green skinned alien's blast whizzes past his ear, missing him by less than a centimeter.

OOC: Sev Zallow dealt 7 points of wound damage to Space Pirate.
Space Pirate dealt 12 points of vitality damage to Sev Zallow.

"Jeedi!" cries the Rodian on Tank's side of the desk in alarm as he fires a wild shot which strikes one of the lockers behind Sev before fumbling and dropping his blaster.

"..." Tank says, firing half heartedly, clearly unwilling to shoot seriously at an unarmed sentient being. (Or perhaps just having trouble with the blaster Sev threw him.)

The Rodian appears to have no qualms in taking advantage of Tank's hesitation, scooping up his blaster and launching a well aimed blast which passes close enough to Tank's arm to singe the suit of Republic armor he is wearing.

Sev remains focused on his own adversary, lunging forward to impale the Rodian in the chest. With a garbled cry the Rodian slumps first to his knees and before collapsing face down on the durasteel floor.

"...I gave you that opening," Tank says untruthfully, wincing as he feels the singe of carbon scoring on his side.

He fires again, but misses, the shot flying wide into the wall.

"...Do you want your defective blaster back?"

"No thank you," replies Sev firmly as he drops to the floor to slide beneath another blast from the remaining Rodian who quickly stumbles backward to avoid a stroke from the Jedi's lightsaber as he rises.

OOC: Space Pirate dealt 11 points of vitality damage to Sev Zallow.

Tank looks like he'd very much like to give it anyway as his next shot flies wide again.

Sev slices again at the Rodian who nimbly darts backward once more, shooting a wild shot at Sev which flies a meter wide of his left shoulder to crash into one of the lockers, sending the smell of melted plastic and metal into the air.

Tank misses a third time, and with a disgusted look, finally casts this defective blaster aside and pulls out his regular blaster, ducking behind cover to line up his next shot.

The Rodian continues to dart backwards, but runs out of luck as he collides with the durasteel wall with a curse. He has no time to react as Sev's lightsaber slashes him across the chest and with a garbled cry he collapses heavily to the floor. He does not rise. Sev swiftly deactivates his lightsaber as he crouches to examine the unconscious Rodian. Satisfied that he will be no threat anytime soon, Sev rises and turns to Tank, frowning at the damage to his armored left arm.

"You all right?"
