"Good call. I haven't heard a code change, but hopefully security is a little more relaxed. You have the map, yes?"

Although, she had to admit, she had been so looking forward to opening Trax's cell herself.

Securing a copy of the map, Nightshade did a quick once over of his gear and then turned again to Nim, "Ready to get Danny?"

He slips down the hallway towards the cell in question, staying a few steps ahead to scout out the way.

Actions: sneak, find Danny.

"Yep. When we get there, you open the cell and I will rush in. I'm not particularly intimidating but I have to see her immediate reaction before she has time to think about one."

Ooc: Sneak to it. If the cell has self contained power, will it have lights inside too?

Security continues to be lax in your area - it seems the trooper are occupied elsewhere. You ghost up the corridor and through the open door to Danny's cell bay, all without encountering anyone. Nim leaves Buzz to observe the door, and the two of you head down the cell bay to the last cell on the left.

When you get about halfway down, main power comes back on. You freeze for a moment when the bay doors close, but Nim still has contact with Buzz and there is no movement in your area. You make your way to the call, and in a few moments Nim has the panel sliced. The door slides open, and Nim rushes into the cell.

Sitting on a bench in the featureless cell is a female human or near-human. Her dark hair is frazzled and matted. She had been laying on her side, cradling her head in her arms, but with a squeal she crabs back into a corner of the cell where she draws her knees up to her chest, shielding her face with trembling hands. Through the bruised and misshapen hands, Nim can see one eye is swollen shut, and her lip has been split. Her head has a couple of large lumps, and her face and bare arms are covered with bruises and lacerations. She is shaking violently, obviously terrified, and at least three fingers appear to have been broken.

She sits there helpless, sobbing in terror.

Anyone seeing the woman could tell she was genuinely afraid. To Nim's Lorrdian perceptions, the girl's nonverbal tells scream terror and pain.

Nim had rushed into the cell commando-style expecting a very different scene. Upon seeing the extreme state of the prisoner she lowered her ready rifle from her shoulder and blinked for a moment, an expletive eventually escaping her ruby lips.

?Osik.?

She moved to the cell wall but stayed a distance, not for her safety but to keep from scaring the woman even more. Nim wasn?t sure if she wished this was all an act or was relieved that it wasn?t. She did, however, feel that her planned interrogation session was suddenly about to instead be a counseling session.

?Umm hi. I?m Nim. Are you Danny??

Nim cordially gave her own name and used the pet name Kesh had used. That along with her civilian clothes would hopefully take the intimidation out of the situation...at least some. She wasn't sure what to say to Nightshade just yet.

The girl hesitantly lowers her hands a bit.

"Please..."

Then her eyes focus on you, and she calms slightly.

"What... who are you?" she says with a quivering lip.

Nim slung her rifle, confident that the girl wasn?t going to attack in some form and obviously didn?t need to be intimidated.

?My friends and I are on a mission and happened to rescue a slave girl that is very insistent that we find and free someone important to her. If you want help I?ll try regardless, but I need to confirm your name and rank so I can stop looking. You're definitely younger than I was expecting.?

She called softly to the door. ?Nightshade, may I borrow a medpac? I?m fresh out.?

The Shinobi poked his head around the door and took one look at the girl before deciding that she didn't need any additional stimulation.  He tossed a medpak to Nim and stayed outside the cell for now, keeping watch.

The girl remains curled up, but there is curiosity in her eyes.

She jumps a little at Nightshade's appearance, but relaxes when he quickly leaves.

She looks Nim over before she answers. "Second Lieutenant Danielle Webster. You rescued a slave girl? What mission? How did you even get in here?"

She seems to be recovering from her trauma a little. She's still very afraid, but wheels are turning in her head.

Nim caught the pac and thanked the Nekami. She was also thankful he stayed outside; she didn't want to ask but knew the sight of him would just terrify the girl even more.

?I have answers, but may I?? She gestured to the medpac, obviously wanting to help ease her pain but also multi-task. Nim was hesitant at speaking freely, but at this point none of the information really mattered with everyone already in custody. Danny could spill her guts and still not say much that wasn't already known.

?It's fairly complicated. There are Imperial senators, part of a real, viable large scale rebellion, that were taken prisoner and brought to this giganto station for execution. My team, made up of Jedi and rebels, banded together to save them and snuck in and got as far as this block before all but two of us were captured, including the slave girl that we rescued. Keshani, or Demaia or whatever she went by. Now we're all split four different ways.?

Technically five different ways, assuming Galen was still out there somewhere. He had to be, if the station was still on high alert.

?I'm a slicer and former spook. My friend there is stealthy combat. What was your role aboard the station??

Nim provided a calm and confident exterior without being overbearing. She genuinely hoped this Danny would be able to help in some way, they could use just about anything right now.

Ooc: Don't know if I technically need the medpac but I'll use it if necessary as she talks, assuming Danny accepts it.

Your gentle touch seems to help relax her, and she does not resist.

"I... I was a junior technical services officer assigned to this command. One of my tasks was to inspect recent work for compliance with specifications, and assess progress variances from the master schedule."

You work through the most grievous of her injuries with the medpack, and can tell her pain levels have reduced. She watches you work, still uncertain, but not resisting.

When you are done she says, "Thank you. The slave girl... she was recaptured? I never knew her name."

Her wheels are turning again, likely aided by the medpack. Still not reading any deception.

"Yes,  she was recaptured not more than 100 feet from this cell.  We sprung a trap and a horde of red armored guards filed out if nearly every single cell. They are gone or out if range now, but 11 other prisoners reside on this block. I don't recognize any of their names but you might."

Nim set the pac down on the bench  and looked over the girl again, forcing herself not to wince at the damage still left. She smiled instead. "Better."

She took a breath and thought for a moment, trying to come up with anything that might be of help to Nightshade once he leaves.

"She was taken to max along with my gunslinger friend. Two Jedi were taken to some containment center. The third.. well, he's probably with the Emperor now. That's the bad news. The good news is that the senators are most likely there as well. And that is where we need to end up once we spring everyone."

She pulled up the map of the station along with the detention areas everyone ought to be in.

"If you have any, and I mean any, ideas or know something that could help us, I'm all ears. Otherwise Nightshade will be attempting to sneak into max and I'm going to try and remote into whatever I can to assist from here. There's no leaving this station without the senators. I've long made peace with that."

The considers a moment.

"You have an escape plan? Some way off the station?"
