Escape from the Mines (Shunna Maza , Ubi Sunt & Callie)

[Shunna Maza]

The Zabrak smirks at your response to his offer and leaves you alone.

You feel the Force flow through you and into the young girl.  Her wounds are healed and she turns around to face you.  She dries her eyes on a dusty sleeve then her eyes meet yours, and you can tell for the briefest of moments she felt safe. "Thanks." She wraps her arms around your waste for a quick hug then retreats back to her corner of the cell near her parents calls.  "I'm fine Mom and Dad, don't worry."

Shunna takes a few minutes to sense her surroundings.  She learns that there is still only the one guard patrolling the cells, he is carrying a com-link probably to check in periodically or call for help.  Her cell is approx. in the middle of a long row of cells.  With about 9 prisoners per cell, there easily 100 prisoners with another 100 now working in the mines.  The whole prison cell/cafeteria area is about 80 meters long by 25 meters wide.  Using the lifts from the mines as a reference point you consider that the South end.  At the North end is another set of doors and you sense two guards on the other side.  You do not sense any other hidden guards.

"Oh yeah, you've got a better plan?  What's that leave in a body bag from getting whipped to death?"  The Zabrak smirks at his own jest.  "That kid's what's called a liability.  He stays here." 

Out of nowhere the Bothan speaks in a low whisper.  "Shhh, keep quiet."  He creeps to the cell bars and looks both ways then turns to Shunna.  He begins talking again in the same low tone. "If you're planning an escape, count me in.  I know others that may help too.  You should know that those doors opposite the lifts can only be opened from the other side but all the doors are guarded and there are security cameras watching them."

["Oh no, my young Jedi. You will find that it is you who are mistaken, about a great many things."    I just love the emperor's lines. 

I quoted this because you make excellent points and the security is not that great but effective enough for non-Jedi. While reading this, the Bothan does say the cameras are specifically on the doors so I was incorrect in saying Shunna was caught on camera.  I concede that.  The approximately two minutes it will take to mind-trick all the guards won't break the game, but in combat that 2 minutes is a lot.  Is Shunna going to mind-trick all the slaves?  If not can you really trust all of them to keep her secret.  Whether they know or can prove she is a Jedi doesn't matter as long as they believe it.]

"My ship is that way" The Captain says. Pointing to the way he came from. 

While the two talk about what to do the freed slaves begin collecting up the 10 blasters from the guards and the heavy repeating blaster.

[OoC:  How many slaves would have been watching?  If I were a slave, I don't think I would be curious enough to peek my head out to possibly get shot between the eyes with a blaster rifle.  I'd be hiding my ass as deep in my cell as possible!  For those who were brave (or stupid) enough to peek out to have their face shot off, how much did they actually see?  Most powers have no visible effects or signs of use.]

Shunna will make a point of clumsily using the lightsaber to hack at the elevator controls so it looks like she doesn't know how to use the weapon.  She then starts to move toward the other entrance and says to the Captain, "Are their other ships where you docked yours?  If there are, the slaves can follow us out and escape in one of those ships." Before leaving the room she will destroy the camera and any recording equipment in the area.
