Cade explains the cell locks, they all seem to be rather primitive types in this corridor and after a minute or two, manages to unlock them.

Anyone see a Chandra-fan named Chubbo?! He calls out, He has a Kel Dor friend named Jorn!

Darien starts hearding the 15 prisoners towards the C-ROC. Vhal'ika, we have captives headed your way, try and get everyone to the cargo hold...

No one seems to know of either, you just get blank stares in response.

Falmok responds, Copy that, I'll try to get them as secure as I can. The Judicials are doing a number on the pirates, especially now that their starfighters are in the mix, but they are still outnumbered, we may need to get out of here in a hurry. K'oyacyi!

Copy. Darien waves to Cade and signals let's head out.

Cade nods.

They head down the corridor, until they come to a intersection, like a hub containing turbolifts. Cade indicated one direction and motions to Darien to take the other way.

Along this new corridor, other corridors branch out like the one the came from.. Cade and Darien hurry to each going in opposite directions shouting the kids names down each cell block and listening before moving to the next.

More prisoners reach out for help, but no one responds to the names.

After they checked each corridor, they backtracked towards the hub, unlocking cells as they went. They again directed those that understood back to the ship.

Vhal, Cade commed, We have another forty incoming. Darien and I are going to try and find a way up to the next level. What's your status?

Cade, with the ones you've got incoming, we're already way over our life support limit. We'll be burning fuel just to keep these people alive. We can't take any more.
That said, do want me to start feeding these people?

Osik. Ok, do what you can, ner vod. Cade said, and opened a channel to the Republic Forces. Espio, you still alive out there?

Yeah, but taking a pounding, *kchsshh* -ose pirates aren't fairing much *kchsshh* -er, though. We've disabled one of their Gozantis already. Wha- *kchsshh* -o you need?

We're doing our best to free the captives, but we're maxing out our Gozanti's capabilities...Any chance you can get a transport to assist?..

We've *kchsshh* got a couple waiting in Vinda- *kchsshh* -ut we don't know if they'll be enough. We certainly can't *kkchssshhh* -he pirates are dealt with.

Darien shakes his head as he tries to reroute power through the control panel, Ahhh, Osik! He pulls out a knife and pries the panel apart, and digging around in the inner workings.. Cade looks over his shoulder Understood. If you see an opening, send your transports in, our Lancer can provide some cover.

Darien pulls his hands out of the panel controls and kicks the wall in frustration, letting out a stream of curses.

Cade pulls the lifts doors open and looks inside, Dar'ika, there's an emergency hatch!

He glances at the hatch and then looks you up and down, Are you sure you'll fit, ori'jag? I'll go first.

Cute..Cade says dryly, cupping his hands to give Darien a lift. Up you go.

Darien steps up with the help of Cade and pulls himself up through the maintenance hatch, Okay, Cade, jump up and I'll give you a hand.

Cade jumps and grabs Darien's hand, hauling himself up with his free hand. Scraping armor as he passes through the hatch. Cade stands up, looking around to see if the lift tube has integrated ladder like most he's seen..

In the dark of the turbolift, it is hard to make things out, but there is a ladder embedded into the wall leading up to a crack of red light about 10 feet above your heads.

Cade points to the ladder, then to the light above, <Looks like the doors are open a crack..> Cade says over the personal comlink. He heads to the ladder and starts climbing.

As he reaches the door he sees that it is, in fact, open just a sliver, but he ought to be able to get something in enough to start to push it open.

Cade slides his beskad into the small gap and begins to pry.. come...on.. you.. chakaar.... the dorr doesn't budge at first, so Cade pushes hard, and the door gives, snapping open. With the resistance of the door gone, Cade falls back down to the lift, landing on Darien.

Woah, Darien exclaimed. Watch ou--ouch!

Cade picks himself up and reaches down to Darien. Sorry ner vod. he apologies, and heads back up the ladder to peek over the ledge as Darien recovers. Looks clear... Cade reports and hauls himself into the corridor.

There are more rows and hallways of cell, much like the floor below. At the end of the hallway that would be to the port side of the station is another airlock. the cells on this floor are more sparsely populated than the lower floor, but there are still many prisoners.

Darien brushes himself off, groans, and follows Cade. I wish I hadn't called you big, that hurt.

Cade reaches down to help Darien up to the deck.. More cells, Dar..
