The monitoring station is closer to the fighting, so Loj'oon had sent some guards to protect it in the event that the Srum penetrated further into the maintenance than he anticipated.
... but it seems that they have abandoned their posts. Hmm.

That's very bad.
Is there no one around at all?

You sense death within the monitoring station...

Wentar will rush in to investigate! Lightsaber drawn and lit.
Do I sense danger as well or just death?

Just death. Whoever entered the monitoring station and killed the engineers within has already departed. They did not hesitate to put a few bolts into the computers monitoring the engines' status, either. It will be impossible to tell the state of the engines and whether they're ready to fire or not until this mess gets repaired.
The engineers were shot to death.

Hmmm... This is not good. Can I discern what type of blaster was used? That is to say, light, heavy or a rifle?
Wentar will contact Loj'oon immediately and inform him about what's happened here.
After that he'll race off to the Engine room, I have a feeling that if this is sabotage then that's where they'll be heading next.

Hard to tell, though they've been shot multiple times each.
Loj'oon is completely alarmed.
"I need the monitoring station repaired!" Loj'oon says. "Without it, we're dead in the water. So to speak."

"I'm heading to the Engine room now, I can send someone from there to get to work fixing it," Wentar says, rushing out of the room.
"The real concern right now is finding the saboteur, I suspect he will try take out the Hyperdrive next. Put all you men down there on full alert."

It will take more than a mundane engineer to fix this mess, Wentar. They've shot the system to shit, basically.

Loj'oon's pretty handy with tech, he made the shield after all. Maybe he should come down.
I have fix-it, though only at 1... I suspect I wont be too good at that job.

Loj'oon is busy leading a fight. He is coordinating things whilst you are down here on your Vlad-hunt.
There is another person who is pretty good at Fix-It!

Vlad! 
Or are you referring to Emso who I think is still unconscious?

A lot of time has passed; Emso is starting to come around.
Though Vlad is another option...

Well Wentar will have Loj'oon explain the situation to Emso. If Emso thinks he's up for it then I'd like Altar to escort him to the Monitoring Station and stand guard until I get to the bottom of this.
Meanwhile Wentar will continue his hunt for Vlad in the Engine room.

Emso is still weak but happy to finally be able to help. Altar escorts him down to the monitoring station, as requested.
"Oh dear..." Emso says, examining the burned out equipment and picking at a mass of melted wiring. "It's going to take me a little while..."
"I'll watch him," Altar says. "You find Vlad."
The main engine chamber is just below the monitoring station. You step out onto a gangway outside the station's viewing windows, and descend a ladder down into the dark, oily gloom to find your friends, while the battle rumbles overhead.
Once again, the odds are 2:1 and very much in your favor, but the dice don't seem to like you much. Another Stalemate is rolled, with the Srum and Freedom Fighters losing equal amounts of men. No units break down this turn, though, so the fight continues.

Geeze the Lower Quarters are in a bad way.
-
"Sorry to throw this on you so soon, Emso," Wentar says as Emso examines the equipment. "But if anyone can get this fixed it's you."
He turns to Altar. "I will, Altar. May the force be with us all." And with that he leaves the monitoring station.
-
Wentar steps out off the ladder, sensing the near overwhelming death above him and feeling the gloom and darkness press in from all around. He shakes his head, attempting to focus on his goal, before activating his lightsaber and cautiously presses onward.
-
Is where I'm standing just a straight path or is it an open area?

Below you is a tremendous sight, Wentar. The engines for the Seat are simply massive. There are two tremendous units, both of which are needed to fire the engines, and a sequence of oversized hyperdrives linked to them and to each other. You can only drool and imagine the insanity that would occur if the Free Flyer had this kind of hardware packed into it. A network of walkways connects the engines at several points, so that the engineers can move freely about to finish their repairs. Down by the hyperdrives are tons and tons and tons of fuel tanks.
Steam and expired coolant are venting from the engines regularly, giving the engine room a thick, hot atmosphere. Red warning lights blare everywhere, as they are everywhere on the station, but here it is particularly dramatic as the lighting is lessened down here. Everything smells greasy and oily and hot. You start sweating as you make your way down.
Passing your Force roll and adjoining Observation roll... far below you, engineers are fleeing across one of the walkways. Blaster bolts are chasing after them, claiming one who stumbles off the path and down into an open fuel tank.

Wentar wipes the sweat from his forehead. No wonder it was taking so long to get the engines running. He knew they'd be big but no where near this size.
He has a look of grim determination on his face when he sees one of the engineers catch a blaster bolt to the back and picks up his pace.

Would I be able to use Leaping or Great Leap to get onto the walkway where the shooting was coming from?

You think you could probably gain some momentum if you dropped down toward the fight. It would take a few Agility rolls and, if you fail, you would take damage. Spends on Great Leaping, of course, would negate that problem.
The shooting is taking place toward the bottom as it is. You won't get there in time to save the engineers! As they flee toward one of the engines, trying to find cover or a way to get away, you unmistakably spot Hanza following after them. He fires randomly and haphazardly, obviously having fun with his task of killing unarmed civilians.

Wentar will call down to Hanza, hoping to distract him so the civilians can get away.
"Hanza!" Wentar bellows down, sickened by the obvious enjoyment Hanza's having tormenting those people. "You want some target practice? Why don't you try hit me?"
-
How many points would it be to drop down to him with Great Leap? Pretty sure I have about 3 or 4 left.
