"Trax you have been on this ship linger than anybody. I refuse to believe there is not an alternative to this. You are incredibly smart I know you can think of something?"

Trax sighs, setting Cabas down so that the Jedi Master can stand as he comes to.
"I may be able to go through a different terminal to access the auto-pilot and reactivate the self-destruct," Trax says. "But we won't have much time to get out of here before it goes."
"What has happened?" Cabas asks, blearily.

"Then do it Trax and quickly."
"Master Cabas I have failed you. Friste has escaped and so has Svid. The Pirate ship is falling and we are about to set the self-destruct on it."
"On a good note though we have Loola."

Cabas clenches his jaw when you mention the disastrous prospect of both the Dark Jedi and the Pirate Lord escaping. He takes his weight off of Trax and accepts his lightsaber back as the prune-faced alien rushes off to start the self-destruct sequence on a short timer.
"What of the slaves?" Cabas asks, looking about at the bodies strewn all over the deck.

Xavier briefly looks down as he sees his Master's disappointment.
I thought you were as cold as ice yet you cringe at this man's littlest slight. You make me sick
"They headed to the transport area to begin evacuating."

As soon as you say this, a realization comes to you.
The only way off of this ship is through the large transports in the hangars, which the slaves are making use of. It is highly likely that Friste and Svidrigailov will seek to use the transports as well.
You sense a sudden series of deaths.
"You fool!" Cabas shouts. "We must get to the hangars!"
Trax returns, having completed the self-destruct initiation. A new set of alarms indicate that you have one minute.

No other man would you let insult you like this, Xavier. Yet Cabas' head still remains attached. Take it destroy him make him an example
"Be quit I am done with you," Xavier says in his normal cold voice. He then realizes he has spoken out loud.
"Yes we must get to the hangers now" Xavier says trying to not give Cabas a chance to dwell on it.

Cabas, in his urgency, seems not to have noticed your sudden outburst as he rushes out the blast door, his lightsaber held in his only hand. With Hoondan slinging you over his shoulders, the rest of follow.
Loola has grabbed one of Prassk's blaster pistols.
The ship beyond is now lit with dim red lights, part of the alarm for the self-destruct. Your companions move quickly through the crew quarters, now devoid of any life. Hoondan stumbles over the bodies of pirates and slaves, nearly dropping you.
Through the doorway to the hangars, you can hear the ping of blaster fire and the hum of lightsabers.

"Hurry we must hurry!"
Hurry to what, bare witness to the massacre you helped create cause you could not beat Friste.

The group moves into the hangar.
One of the transports is lifting off, but a small group of slaves have sacrificed themselves to let it escape. In desperation they rattle off shot after shot after shot, but none of them seem to hit as Friste flips and twirls about them and through them. He avoids their gunfire as he cuts them down with spinning strikes, one by one.
The next transport over is powering up, with Svidrigailov at the helm.

Cabas activates his lightsaber, but Hoondan raises a hand in front of him.
"You mustn't fight him," Hoondan says. "He has defeated you already, he will defeat you again. Your condition is worse than before."
Cabas stands still for a moment, struggling to decide his action as Friste finishes off the slaves with a few last strokes. Cabas deactivates his lightsaber.
"Take the next transport..." Cabas says, jogging toward the next one over. Trax and Loola follow, though they fire off shots at the Dark Jedi as he boards Svid's transport. Friste deflects them easily and vanishes into the craft.
The slave transport is away. Electrical currents crackle along the walls inside the hangar as the self-destruct sequence nears completion.

Xavier in his current condition can not help. This greatly troubles him because this should be the moment when he shines, like the Jedi Lores say.
He looks over at Loola as she shoots at Friste.
Even the pretty woman has lasted longer and can do more than you can.
Xavier says nothing as he is being carried away.

Placing his lightsaber on his belt, Cabas uses his hand to open the transport's entryway and gestures the rest of you inside.
You saw the inside of the cargo bay before, Xavier. The living area and the cockpit are in disrepair, worn down by the hard use in the slaving business. Hoondan desposits you onto a couch in the living area, where Loola agrees to watch over you. Cabas and Trax head to the cockpit, while Hoondan moves to power up the topside turret.
"Are you alright?" Loola asks, seeing your injuries.

Xavier looks at the pretty young woman. He knows a Jedi should not have relationship. So, shouldn't it be a good thing he has no feelings while looking upon her.
Face it my friend you know there is more to it then that. Yes a Jedi does not wish attachments, but they still embrace life. You can only do one. It troubles you doesn't it. That you can not get past that barrier. You can not look past that line of steps you call logic. You can not be that model Jedi you always thought you were.
The being known as Xavier is silent for a moment thinking about these ...things in his head. He can not describe them. They are no words or thoughts but more or else globs of darkness in the back of his head. They only make sense to him, and he doesn't know why.
"I shall live...but I have failed," Xavier finally replies to Loola.

"But you've rescued me!" Loola says. "I would have died on that bridge if it were not for you and your Master." She examines the terrible wounds to your thighs. "I'm going to look for some bacta. Those cuts shouldn't go untended..."
Svidrigailov's transport roars out of the hangar, giving chase to the transport that the slaves have made use of. Trax powers up his transport as Hoondan gets the turret working. There is a rumbling around the ship as the pirate flagship begins to crumble in on itself. Throwing the thrusters onto full, Trax sends the transport jetting out of the hangar just as The Trade begins to self-destruct.
For the first time since your capture, you are able to see The Trade out the viewport for a brief second before it begins to break up. The vessel is a product of the Kuat Drive Yards, a modified Longhorn battleship. Streaks of light tear across its surface, followed by ripping explosions that tear apart the hull. One final explosion destroys the capital ship entirely, sending out a shockwave that jostles Trax's transport.

"Thank You," is all Xavier says.
He watches as the ship is destroyed. It will never hurt another being ever again. Perhaps Loola is right. Perhaps Xavier did not fail as much as he thought he had. The fact was that ship was basically svid's power in this system. Without it and his men he has no more pull on this system, and Loola is safe.
In the end he did complete his mission.
The mission may have succeeded, but deep down you know you have failed yourself, that you have failed your Master. For you that is a pain worse then death, isn't it.

Due to the requirements of the mission, the Jedi Council could not update you as the mission progressed. While Loola has been rescued and the fate of Friste discovered, it is disastrous that Friste and Svidrigailov have so far escaped. Friste alone is a dangerous individual, but Svidrigailov is a charismatic and well-known pirate. It should not be difficult for him to put together a new crew and hijack a freighter of formidable size.
Additionally, the slaves that were under Svidrigailov's lock and key have mostly been killed, and at the moment Svidrigailov intends to finish them all off. Svidrigailov is a far better pilot than the slave, and is catching up with the poor freedom fighter easily...

"We have to stop them," Xavier says.
I agree if for nothing more to kill them.

Trax shares your sentiment, though he is in the cockpit and you are not. It appears that Trax was being modest about his piloting skills, as he suddenly pushes the transport up to its extremes and casually opens fire with the twinned forward cannons. The lasers burst against Svidrigailov's shields, a dead-on hit, causing the Pirate Lord to swerve his vessel out of the line of fire.
Cabas comes back into the living area to utilize the high-powered comms unit.
"Coruscant or Varloucant first?" he asks you.
