Jelena gives a sigh of relief at having prevented the death of her 'enemy,' and shakes herself. What did those images mean to her? She did not recognize any of those places, and would most probably have to consult someone later, but now was not the time to ponder that.
"Kuylen, I must get to Roan! Now!" she shouts to him. "Do you have any advice or plan that would get me into the Sanctuary?"
Gallagher, you are...
"Gallagher!" yells out Zaland at you, looking in at the landing bay.
"They've got the Abbot! They're taking him out to the landing pad!"
Reality zooms back to you. You have your own problems and they are no less significant in these dark times.

Roan's blade slams into yours, Jelena. Snarling, he twists and tries to whip the blade along your guard and to sever your arm.
Her lightsabers clash against Roan's single blade, rapidly defending herself to the best of her ability. But it is not enough.
She falls back against the wall as Roan skillfully cuts one of her lightsabers from her hand in a shower of sparks and a flash of light. The lightsaber deactivates and falls from her hand, and she uses her remaining lightsaber to defend herself against the threat that is her friend.
"Roan! Come to your senses!" Jelena shouts. "You have strayed from the Light, but I know not how! You are my friend! I am your friend! We have worked on this mission together, and now something has taken a hold of you that seeks to destroy you! Roan!"
Jelena tries her best to muster all of her strength and focus into a Force push to send him back or at least hold him off.
(Wow. I missed some wild $hit! Anyway, back on Spiridos...)
Andro watches helplessly at Gallagher's pain. He doesn't know what it's about, but knows it is some product of the Force. The strength of Gallagher's connection as amazed him since they first met. For a moment, Andro is torn, unsure whether to go to his friend's aid, or continue after Varm. But, quickly the choice is clear. Gallagher is in pain, but not in danger. The mission, the Abbot. Varm. Varm must be stopped! Without another thought, Andro races to catch up with Varm. He must be stopped. He will be stopped.
I thionk that will do from Jelena. And Roan's Higher Purpose is very useful indeed at this point; it would be near impossible to snap out without it.
As Roan and Jelena's sabres clash, a clinch begins, as Roan begins to force Jelena's sabre away from it's protective position. He has JUST forced it out of place...
... when he comes to his senses.

In the loading bay, several figures have just left the far side, out onto the landing pad.
But there are plenty more within, amidst the many crates and overhead cranes that obscure movement through this room.
Three frames between each third.

Varm eyes you all, with a slight grin, his gun trained towards Andro.
Kathya has her gun out as well. Both are actually part obscured by cover, taking occasional pot shots at you.
(So, which Andro am I? 😄 Anyhow, Andro doesn't have to be told twice. He'll rush forward, past anyone in his way as fast as he can to get to Varm. Active Dodge Varm's attack, then Flurry when I get there.)
"Don't worry, I've got Varm." Andro assures Gallagher, and advances on the Father, saber in front of him to ward off Varm's shots.
(Yeah, that was what the active Dodge was for, or am I forgetting something about these fights? The only Power I have is Defend, and I remember that that's only good against groups. I think that moving three frames then AD'ing (1 frame?) would put us both on frame 9, right? Then I'll Flurry on Varm, Oh, and another AD for defense after that. Long winded, but I just wanted to make sure I still remember how to do this correctly.)
