Callie and Ubi, almost as one, race for the boarding ramp. Using two move actions they both get all the way up the ramp, and can just reach the locker, without enough actions left to open it.
Njon hesitantly reaches for the latch to the locker and just manages to give it the slightest turn when all of a sudden there is a round, brownish metallic droid body bursting out, roughly two feet in diameter with four insect like legs, two insect like arms ending in grasping hand-like appendages and a seventh appendage that appears to be nothing short of a full sized heavy repeating blaster on a jointed mount. The droid lands on the floor below the floating dark ball that is Zero.
[Letting them occupy the same space as Zero is floating and they are not in combat with each other, and there are scomp links flanking either side of that square] Together the Imperial interrogation droid and the obvious clone wars era battle droid make a very dangerous looking pair of balls.
Njon reacts by using his remaining move action to backpedal away from the three droids that were all too close for comfort.
Meanwhile, still stuck on the stairwell the Zabrak, in desperation will forego attacking and Fight Defensively while moving past Guard 6.A on the stairwell.
Quote:Fight Defensively
As a Standard Action, you can concentrate more on protecting yourself than hurting your enemies. You can take a -5 penalty on your Attack Rolls and gain a +2 dodge bonus to your Reflex Defense until the start of your next turn. If you choose to make no Attacks until your next turn (Not even Attacks of Opportunity), you gain a +5 dodge bonus to your Reflex Defense until the start of your next turn.
Guard 6A turns and makes an Attack of Opportunity with his blaster as the zabrak attempts to pass, hitting him square in the back and dropping him to tumble the rest of the way down the stairs, where Shunna can see him in the open doorway from her vantage on the ships ramp.
Back inside the ship... suddenly anyone who understands Binary (Dez, MK, Zero, and Shunna) has a very dreadful feeling.. as the astromech beeps
"Protocol Omega engaged"..
...not even a second later the droid
EXPLODES! in a shower of fire and debris.
Imperial Astromech: Self destruct area attack [1d20+5] = 2+5 = 7; Damage [4d6] = 13
Everyone but Njon and Shunna are caught in the 2-square area blast, but no one is gravely injured [6 damage as you each take only half]
Unfortunately as she is already gravely injured this is enough to send Dez spiralling into unconsciousness.
As the debris continues to clatter around the vessel, there is a loud clunk sound as suddenly everything outside the ship goes dark. Abruptly Shunna has to grab one of the hydraulic supports for the landing ramp as the rushing wind of the atmosphere being sucked out into space through the opening high overhead attempts to suck her out of the ship. (No check required, you were warned by Zero).
The darkness outside is filled with he roar of rushing wind so loud you can barely hear the panicked screams as, along with the lights going dark, the loss of artificial gravity
(the asteroid thankfully does have some gravity of it's own, about 1/5th normal) means that the winds are blowing everyone outside toward the opening high overhead unless they can grab something. [none will reach it that fast, it is far enough overhead ]

Through the sounds of the wind roaring outside, the screams, and the sounds of the dead stormtrooper's bodies bouncing off the underside of the ship as they are swept up by the wind, everyone hears an audible crackle as Ub's comm-link suddenly comes to life
~"...ials all over outside the Minefield. It is not safe here. Now that the hyperdrive is online I will jump to your last logged astrogation destination. I will wait there and see to care of your cargo for one week. or until your cargo dictates otherwise. This message will repeat."~ then there is nothing but static for a second, then
~"Captain Sun I cannot stay within range of the Rock's turbolasers, if I keep the Wildcard within the Minefield she will be pulverised to nothing but a debris field before I can affect repairs to her shields. There are Imperials all over outside the Minefield. It is not safe here. Now that the hyperdrive is online I will jump to your last logged astrogation destination. I will wait there and see to care of your cargo for one week. or until your cargo dictates otherwise. This message will repeat."~
Dez does not act as she is uncscious and slipping from life.
Guard 6.A is a wee bit occupied as he picks up velocity towards the exit.
That means it is Zero's action.
