"Ah, yes, that does irk you, doesn't it?" Rand says. "You have a strong mind, Rianna, but you cannot keep it from me."
His apprentices snicker.
"Nor can they," Rand comments, looking up at them. Their snickering ceases. "So, Rianna, will you go to Ord Coridari? I want that box, and if I am a Dark Jedi, something I want must be something that the Order doesn't want me to have..."
"That's the spirit!" he says, bending down and tousling Rianna's hair. He uses the Force and calls her lightsaber to him, then starts walking off down the walkway, towards a hatch on the opposite end of the room.
His apprentices follow, putting away their blasters and replacing them with their lightsabers- both red. Rand turns and raises a hand as they lower their lightsabers into the walkway and begin cutting.
Your blaster wound hurts immensely, so you are more leaning against the railing than standing.
"You'll see," Rand says, closing his eyes as his students finish cutting through the walkway. For a moment you brace yourself for the fall- but the walkway remains in place.
You sense people coming down the ladder from above.
Rianna can sense that Rand is using the Force, that people are coming down the ladder, and personal danger. And no cigar; Rianna cannot focus enough with her injury to pull her lightsaber back from Rand's grasp.
Rand's students put away their lightsabers and follow after him, drawing their blasters once more. The gruff-speaking student snaps out a small forward grip on his light pistol, while the young-sounding student simply waves his pistol in the direction of the hatch. Out from it comes a group of Reecee policemen, armed with blasters and wearing SWAT-style blast-armor. Bolts start flying as the policemen come running out onto your walkway; Rand's students seem to be intentionally missing.
Rianna cannot be heard above the din of gunfire- precisely the reason the Dark Jedi are firing back at all, to add to the noise. Rianna starts to move against the flow of policemen which delays her...
Once a fair amount of policemen have made it onto the walkway, the two gunslinging Dark Jedi shoot the lead man repeatedly, riddling him with bolts until his front is charred and brittle. This delays the policemen behind him... and Rand drops his hand casually. The walkway begins to descend rapidly, with nothing between it and the boiling vat below.
If there is anything Rianna can grab a hold of to keep herself from falling (the railing, or something), she'll do so. If not, then she'll attempt to jump from the falling walkway, attempting to land on the walkway below, but even if she should miss that and fall to the ground, it'd probably be better than falling into the vat of doom...
Grabbing on then...
Rianna grabs hold of one of the railings as the walkway suddenly pitches downwards on the severed side. The policemen, not expecting this sudden change in terrain, are tossed flailing down into the boiling liquid huxley, disappearing beneath the surface with sickening slurps and resurfacing with mortified screams of anguish. Rianna holds on as tightly as she can and almost loses hold when the swinging walkway bangs against the wall.
Rand then raises his hand again and twists the walkway to one side, trying to brush Rianna off. The apprentices are picking off the policemen above you, some falling past after they have been shot (one definitely uttering a Wilhelm as he goes).
