'Some sort of speech'? Well, ok, I'll give it a day, else time pressure got to you and you had to move on.

(Well, Gallagher, at least we're in a hospital! Except, we can't trust our own doctor, we'll have to get a second opinion. Does the Jedi plan require referrals? 😛
The plan, unsurprisingly, is to use the Force to cheat. We'll follow each other around in a group, for defense when practical. Zaland and I will alternate shooting and hopefully taking beatings for Gallagher. Gallagher will provide whatever help he can with Push/Pull, even though he's barely standing at this point. One shot from our third and one from the middle will end this debacle. It's our hope that alternating shooters and neither of them using the Force (never mind that Zaland can't anyhow) would provide some measure of protection from being found out. There is one variation, depending on the situation, that we'd go for two shots from the middle and one from their third, to make it less suspicious. The first one carries more risk of being discovered by Varm but is shorter. the second would take longer, and is riskier for Gallagher, but may appear less suspicious to Varm. I'm waiting on Alkaselzer's OK to go forward with this, since it stands a good chance of having negative results.)
(That was another idea I had, but I might not have mentioned it to him. I thought that he might surreptitiously trip droids that get too close, or alter their heading to miss him. That was another option. If so, Andro could use Push/Pull when Gallagher is too busy staying alive. I'm ready and willing to go this route, but I want Alkaselzer to OK it. Like I said, it has the potential to have a bad result, and I don't want to unilaterally sink the game. If we screw it up, we screw it up together!)
ok well Roan will take Sunda aside now then.
"Alright Sunda, This is going to get tricky. You've been doing great all along, but now is when I really need you to come through. Jelena is not a great fighter, You and her have to stick together. I am going to go sneak into the sanctuary and nutralize the guns at the front entrance. Then I am going to find the vault and prevent any damage to it. Now after the fighting has begun I want you to try and stay out of the brunt of it. Then I will Contact you and I want you to meet up with me, I will tell you where. We need to get to Volun too, maybe we can get him to stop this before it gets too out of hand. Other than that, I trust you, go with your instincts and trust the Force."
(Back to the Middle... *crosses fingers*)
There is little joy at Zaland's score this time. This is still far from over, and Gallagher is in immediate danger. Andro catches his eye and looks gravely at him. They don't speak, but nod in silent agreement; they simply can't keep the scharade up any longer. He joins Gallagher in No-Man's Land.
"Lets end this." he says simply when he gets to Gallagher.
"Yes Master," says Sunda. "Don't worry, I'm with an entire army. What can go wrong?"
It's Jelena who feels uncomfortable about that, vision-wise, but there's not ime to sit and think.
"Time to go," says Larios. You mount up, Roan, and a moment later you are zooming towards the Sanctuary.
Anaz is as good as his word. He drives his speeder pretty damn hard for someone you assumed was more of a 'sit back and watch others die' sort.. Your insides feeling about ready to spill, he gets you to the top of the valley around the Sanctuary walls in two minutes.
"15 minutes and counting," he says, dropping you off. "With luck, they'll think the bike was just on a recon; I don't think they will notice you getting off. Good luck."
And he's off. 15 to go, Roan. From here, you might be able to jump onto the walls- do you have Master Jump? Your intrusion score is also useful.
Back at the forming army...
"What now, Jelena?" asks Sunda.

Zaland stays forwards, to pick up any missed shots. All clear from damage this round- and the ball, once more, comes out in the middle.

Clash! Bad move guys, both of you run into each other as you both move to Gather the ball.
In the meantime, Gallagher takes another hit, forcing a death chdck that only the use of Sidestep saves him from.
Error of planning there, methinks!

Yes she is, Jelena. Tiso is asking how good you are at driving one.
Anaz is just arriving back.
