Corey, you can keep shooting if you want, but locking this place down, or getting the automated defenses up would be more beneficial. Assuming Trax and Niil take the imperial guard down there's still 6 troopers to deal with and I have a scary feeling Trax is going to be down at least one pistol after this next round regardless of how it turns out. If the imperial doesn't go down, it'll be even more important to get the room at least locked down.
And what exactly was it that drew Collan's attention to the panel to begin with anyway?
