We'll move on in that fight...
Sunda performs another Strike, rolling +4 for a kill.
10 bad guys firing and four targets- three attack on each, only one on Sunda, which he takes the bodyguard dodge for again.
Hmm, another hit on Xeth for five damage. Everyone else stays safe.
Christof, no luck with that first snapped attack, I am afraid. But the second is a kill.

Meanwhile, back on Coruscant, that plan is just fine.
Gundark, as the night wears on you slip into a peaceful meditation as you let your senses slip out to probe the future of your charge.
Sensing the possible futures of a single being is extremely difficult, even for someone of your experience, skill and talent. Still, you have time, to make some sort of rough reading, and get an idea of danger in his future- though now you have already seen that someone is indeed trying to kill him, Ascar's comment seems somewhat less relevant.
You let your mind flow, feeling the ebb of the future, of troubles and problems and solutions and resolutions, and as the hours go by you focus your efforts on this one being, and...
Nothing
You seem to have slipped, and lost what you were looking for, almost coming back fully awake again. You left your senses drift again, focus, and find...
Nothing
This isn't right. You try once more, to focus on the task ahead, and...
Nothing
He doesn't exist. He will not exist, the Viceroy never existed. You can find no presence of him in the Force, which is, of course, totally impossible.
Gundark... you hardly know how to put this... but your Force senses... have failed. This has most certainly never happened before.
And so engrossed is Gundark in this meditative trip to nowhere land, it means she completely ignores her danger sense when it activates moments before there is great danger around for everyone in the building.
But Marcus doesn't- on watch just outside the Viceroy's door, you suddenly spring to attention. You have but seconds to act.
A +3 gives Roan another double, and a +1 from Sunda kills also. Christof also casually hacks one down.
One attack on each; an extra on Christof. All miss. Roan bounces a shot back for a kill.

Logically, they should surrender- but the last four seem as determined as ever.

Marcus- it is dark and quiet in here. Very quiet.
