Ch'lana cocks his head and pauses for a moment, as if hearing something no one else can hear. He then gathers himself for another act of heroics.
Niil continues to keep his rifle up, scanning for targets, and is ready to fire at the first threat he sees. Meanwhile, Trax lumbers up to Nim and dumps his load - a portable atmospheric containment field and a vacuum suit. Nim makes a snide comment, but otherwise keeps working. They are still working against her, but maybe she can do an end run? She starts exploring other systems as a means to bypassing the lockouts.
Then, Nim, Trax, Niil and Collan clearly hear the sound of blaster fire on the other side of the blast doors. It's muted, and clearly no direct threat, but something is happening on the other side of the door. Barely a moment after the sound of shooting starts, you hear a bestial roar of fury.
*************************
Keshani watches as the Stormtrooper level their rifles and open fire on the wookies. The shot goes wide, and is followed quickly by another shot at a wookie, that also goes wide. Then, with a roar, one of the wookies charges a Stormtrooper.
Keshani, out in the open, doesn't really have many options in the way of cover, so she ducks inside the access panel she had been working and tries to hide.
*************************
Up in the control room, one of the techs keeps working, and manages to kick Nim out of her active session. The countdown goes to six seconds. Then Nightshade steps forward and places the tip of his sword at the techs throat. "Back away from your work stations or die." It is not a threat - it is a statement of fact. The tech slowly raises his hands and takes a step back.
*************************
From her spot inside the access panel, Keshani watches as two more wookies charge the stormtroopers. One of them reaches a Stormtrooper, the other one does not reach his target.
*************************
In the control room, the last tech considers his options, raises his hands and steps back from the console.
On the bay floor, Nim is inspired by the "other side of the door" thought, and accesses the blast door controls. She quickly bypasses the system lockout. There is a series of heavy clicks, and the massive door starts to slowly slide up. By opening the main docking bay door, Nim triggered a safety override of the venting, and the warning klaxons and alarm lights in the docking bay stop.
As the door slides up, Niil spots white armour, and sees a group of wookies charging at the troopers. Niil picks one on the right flank, more or less at random, and fires, wounding one of the troopers.
One of the stormtroopers fires at a wookie, wounding him. Another wookie breaks into a run at the troopers, but he has a long way to go. Another trooper fires at one of the closing wookies, and misses. Two more wookies charge at the troopers, but don't reach them yet.
Then Collan throws caution to the wind and breaks into an all-out run, quickly crossing the docking bay. He only makes it about halfway to Nim, very near Niil, and has a long way to go yet. Fortunately, the Stormtroopers are more focused on the wookies. The last trooper fires on a wookie, and hit, wounding the beast.
Then Ch'lana leaps into the air, soaring through the open space from the walkway to land in the middle of the doorway. His sidden arrival has an immediate effect on the Stormtroopers. They immediately shift their attention from the wookies to the Jedi standing before them with his sabre ignited.
Near Nim, Trax fumbles with his slung rifle and brings it around to a firing position. He takes a few steps to Nim's right, and knows there are troopers outside, but cannot get a angle on them to see. His field of view is filled with Ch'lana, who is obsviously making himself a target for the troopers.
Three of the running wookies attack the stormtroopers, and you gear grunts and yells. One of the troopers screams as his arm is physically torn from the socket and thrown away. He goes down, incapacitated. Another trooper is clubbed viciously with a powerful two-handed smash that shatters armour and ribs, and throws the trooper against the rear bulkhead where he lands in a heap.
