The woman in black ducks another laser shot, and then deflects a second. It's a good block; the shot flies back into the man who fired it. He cries out and falls to the ground.
"How many more people are you going to let me kill, Jedi?" she asks, still with a smile. "I'll happily do this all day..."
No-one seems tempted to fire at her any more. They keep their guns levelled at her, warily.
"I'll go when I am finished, Jedi..." says Krisha, who has now backed all the way up to the fallen statue. She reaches down to her belt and pushes a small red button on the side.
Sensing the danger just a little bit too late, you spin around, and see the explosion starting to form back near where you left Derin... you see the security commander tackling him to the ground, trying to cover Damagran's last hope with his own body.
It was a trap; with the statue down Krisha knew exactly where to put her bomb. But she couldn't have got it down on her own.
At the same time, you hear the shouts and screams and feeling of death coming from the back of the convoy.
Krisha is already running. She jumps over the statue to the road beyond.
The security commander is dead; Derin lies badly wounded beneath him. You cannot be sure how bad it is.
Luckily, as you sent out Verlaine seperately he is still ok.
Krisha has fled, but there is still a fight going on somewhere... you squint though the smoke, and coming down the road is a VERY large figure...

Gundy, the man describes the girl who was in here. The Light Side players may now recognise Edna when they see her.
Apparently this 'Edna' claimed to be someone in authority, and threw her powers around to prove it. Someone upstairs, where the important people are, had noticed the presence of your ship and seen the discrepancy of it not being logged. Edna came here to rrace what had happened and discovered that this man had erased the file.
The man is confused; he is not entirely sure WHY he erased the record in the first place (RC Mind-tricked him) and how he has been assaulted in a way he does not understand because of it.
The controllers seem certain that this 'Edna' is not an agent of Pelloran, the head of the pirates. They think she is an agent of Kuylen, Pelloran's recently acquired mysterious friend, who has also demonstrated similar powers as those Edna showed.
Kuylen... Kuylen... Gundark, you can't help thinking you have heard that name somewhere before. It is no-one you know well, but you HAVE heard it... this is bugging you.
The controllers tell you that Edna has retruend upstairs; they assure you that it is impossible to follow without clearance.
You can ask them more questions, or set about proving them wrong...
Striding through the smoke is one of the largest beings you have ever seen (not counting Hutts...)
Clearly al alien, he is over seven foot tall, and is a disturbing albino white, with a slight blue tinge. Veins pulse gently on his head and join in a massed knot at the back of his skull. His eyes are a pure blue with no iris.
He is dressed in sutdded leather with no sleeves, betraying a hugely muscled body. His boots are similarly primitive.
His lightsabre is more like a claymore- far larger than normal and with a huge handle that seems to have been custom-designed for his hands.
He looks at you. It is impossible to read his face- he only appears to have one expression, which is neutral. He does not speak.
He holds his sabre up towards you, not aggressively but certainly bearing you in mind. But then you both hear a noise as Damagran hover-gunships approach; heavily armed hover vehicles sent to protect Derin, but they have arrived too late...
They open fire on the huge alien. He steps out the way- with more agility than you suspected he had- and blocks a couple of bolts with his big sabre. He then runs down the road in the same direction as Krisha, towards the fallen statue.
Behind him, he has slaughtered Derin's bodyguard. This person is clearly phenomenally dangerous.
The large alien jumps onto the fallen statue- which is a highly impressive sight. But instead of carrying on over it he turns around, looking down towards you and using an arm of the statue as cover against the gunships, which start to manoeuvre their way around to try and get a better shot.
He seems to be waiting for something.
Meanwhile, a medic has run over towards DSerin...
