Rand sighs.
"Tectonic plates, Rianna. They move about over time and reform a planet's surface. Do you know what happens when different plates diverge or converge? They create volcanoes."
Rand pauses, admiring the device.
"Do you know what the Manarai Mountains are?"

"Of course I do..." Rianna replies, her voice trailing off as she realizes what he must be planning. "No."

"Yes," Rand says, grinning maliciously. "With this apparatus, I can rejuvenate the fires that lie beneath Mount Umate, the highest peak. I studied with the Flame of Umate during my time on Coruscant as a Jedi Master, a group of environmentalist monks that worship those mountains. This is their plan, and I am enacting it. But my goals are not, of course, the return to nature or whatever their nonsense is.
"I intend to trigger the super volcano so that it can destroy everything surrounding it... including the Jedi Temple."

"No...that's insane...you're insane!" Rianna replies, attempting to get back to her feet and stand up, even though she knows she's in absolutely no state to stop Rand right now.

"Mayhaps," Rand says. "It will not destroy every Jedi Knight, that I know... but the Council will be there. So many Jedi will die..."
One thing is very certain, Rianna- if you do not make it out of here, nobody will know what Rand is planning. The Dark Side clouds all things... you did not foresee this in your vision.
"... the sky of Coruscant will be blacked with smoke..."
Though you are not particularly strong in the Force, it is possible that others will not foretell the disaster either. Rand is a powerful Dark Jedi and already his command of the Dark Side is impressive.
"... buildings will melt and crumble, casting civilians into the molten abyss..."
You need to get out of here, but more importantly, you need to destroy that Geometamorpher.

Yes, that thing definitely needs to be destroyed. That's probably more important than getting out of here, in fact, because with it ruined, Rand's plans are useless, regardless of whether or not anyone else finds out.
And hence Rianna is going to take advantage of the fact that Rand is distracted talking about his evil plot, and snaps out her hand to call Vash's blaster to her. She's hardly ever even held a blaster before, let alone used one...but as soon as she has it, she's going to take aim and fire at the Geometamorpher. And hope the Force is with her.

Vash is unprepared for his pistol to suddenly snap out of its holster and into your hand, and Rand is hardly paying attention to what you are doing until too late. The pistol slides awkwardly into your hand and you swing it around to aim it at the Geometamorpher... and fire.
The single bolt you fire hits the metal casing at the bottom of the device and knocks it from Rand's hand. It hits the ground and starts making all sorts of noises, sparks spewing from it.
"What have you DONE?!" Rand snarls. He uses the Force to wrench the pistol from you, then activates his lightsaber, making for you...
Vera-Kin... you are coming to. Through the sting of your own blood dripping into your swollen eyes, you can see Rand advancing on Rianna with his lightsaber.

"I've stopped you," Rianna replies calmly, despite the fact that at this moment she is probably more afraid than she has been since everything had begun. She ignites her own lightsaber, even though doing so is pretty much pointless.

Vera-Kin opens her blearly eyes, feeling that her face has been horribly mashed, remembering only Rand's boot coming down before she blacked out. But whatever has happened, Rianna has evoked Rand's wrath... and Vera-Kin has to stop him.
She looks over to where Rand has tossed the pistol, and uses Push/Pull to call the pistol to her. Taking advantage of Rand's distracted mind, she shoots him in the back.

Rand performs a swift flourish that smacks your lightsaber out of your hand, Rianna, then raises it in preparation for a decapitation swing... but as the lightsaber comes down, Vera-Kin takes her shot!
The bolt strikes Rand's shoulder and his saber only burns off some of Rianna's hair. He staggers away, positioning himself to reflect any further shots from the Jedi Master as he moves toward the Geometamorpher.
Vash just stands, watching.

"Make sure he doesn't get that!" Rianna says to Vera-Kin, trying to calm herself down. She would attempt to pull it to herself, but knows that Rand would overpower her easily. Vera-Kin, though, would be much better able to do that...

Instead of trying to pull it to her, Vera-Kin tries shooting the device.

Rand has put himself in the way- tapping Reflection, he smacks a bolt back at Vera-Kin. The blaster explodes in her hand and lays her out across the ground.
Rand bends down to examine the machine, which is sputtering. The crystallized fuel inside the glass tube is starting to fragment and break down into a gaseous chemical compound, glowing dimly.
"Master, what's it doing?" Vash asks. Rand stands up and glares at you, Rianna.
"... it has been activated," Rand mutters.

"...what?" Rianna says with utter disbelief. "How...it should have been ruined!"

"You didn't destroy it, you damaged it!" Rand snarls. "Now it has activated... I could destroy it now, but it has already started the process. Can't you feel it?!"
The ground has started to rumble, and everyone's Sense goes off with maddening danger alerts...

"Well, then destroy it and stop it!" Rianna shouts back, frantically trying to think of how they're even going to get out of there. "Why does such a thing even exist?!"

"That won't stop it!" Rand shouts. "It only needs a few moment to start! Besides, the fuel is volatile now. Igniting it will only cause an explosion that will advance the eruption. This is on you, Rianna Xi. Vash, we're leaving."
Rand strides past you as the rumbling begins to increase.

Rianna flinches as he states that she is to blame for this happening, but there isn't time to waste thinking about that. If she and Vera-Kin don't get out immediately, they're doomed...
Rianna forces herself to get to her feet, ignoring the pain from her wound as best as she can, and she calls her lightsaber back to her hand.
"We have to get out of here..." she says to Vera-Kin, glaring darkly at Rand as he leaves.

Vera-Kin is barely conscious at this point, Rianna. You will have to carry her. You can move just fine, but the pain from your wound is severe.

Rianna will do that, then, and good thing that Vera-Kin is tiny, heh. Otherwise they'd really be screwed.
She just hopes that Rand doesn't decide to do something like ambush them on their way out...
