Jorus deactivated the cell containing @[member="Mia Monroe"] and @[member="Darren Shaw"]. They would both be able to leave if necessary.
@[member="Xardus Folidaar"]'s injuries were, perhaps, figments of his imagination, or he'd run into some bit of piping too hard -- the droideka hadn't fired.
As for @[member="Andreas Wintergreen"], his problems were a little more severe. Isis and her monsters had been repelled at the double-thick, hardlocked blast doors by the simple fact that Jorus had vented the entire surrounding region to space. In fact, all rooms and corridors surrounding the bridge had long since been reduced to hard vacuum, broken only by the occasional frozen monster. The bridge doors, for example, were blocked not only by double-locked doors but by the frozen corpse of an immense krayt dragon. The ambitious Sith Apprentice would find no targets for his repeating blaster or EMP grenade, seeing as he had no way to get through the door, or even get
close to the bridge, without dealing with the hard vacuum. And it wasn't just one little room, oh no. Seeing as Isis had been chased out of the core ship by the successive depressurization of large portions of the vessel, the majority of stuff outside the bridge door had become hard vacuum a good while ago, right up to the boundary between the core ship and the rest of the Lucrehulk.
No, Andreas wouldn't be getting within half a mile of the bridge without work and a space suit. And even then, he was about to run into difficulties.
Along with quite a few other people on the ship. Or, rather, ships.
See, prior to the Clone Wars but after the Battle of Naboo, the Trade Federation had come under severe sanctions. They had been required to disassemble their fleet of modified Lucrehulks, and had done so by converting their central spheres into modules with the possibility to become autonomous. The modification had become standard throughout the Clone Wars, and promptly forgotten by people who didn't know old cargo ships inside and out. Through the droideka, Jorus already had access to security; now that Isis and company had been chased from the core module -- she'd run a long way to find that control panel that was far outside the sphere -- he tapped into another internal system.
And the sphere broke away from the rest of the Lucrehulk, leaving maybe a hundred metres of empty space between itself and the ring where every single other person on the ship fought or plotted.
Jorus was besieged. There'd be no getting to Mia, not just yet. Feth.
@EVERYONE
As the
core ship broke away from the rest of the Lucrehulk, the radiation alarms ceased to blare, and Jorus's direct access to the Lucrehulk's security systems ended. However, with the core ship physically separated from the rest of the vessel, Isis would no longer be able to cut the power. The core ship's own ancient reactors provided that, fitfully and unreliably. Isis had disabled the core ship's hyperdrive, of course, along with the Lucrehulk's main drive, but that was a problem for another moment. The core ship floated a hundred metres away from where it had been mated to the rest of the vessel. Others, sich as Andreas Wintergreen at the boundary between the ships, would feel an immense but brief rumbling.
