The Jedi was proving to be more difficult to detach than he had wished. A few choice words, different from the direction he took, could have dislodged her. At least, that was what he believed. Had he been too gentle? Perhaps he hadn’t been calm enough? Gau had an impossibility around aggression and violence, even purposeful and directed violence. Understanding why it was done, why it was used to solve issues that words could dance around, confounded him. Even as a Knight, his blade was raised as a final resort, the promise of conflict that it offered hovering at his side was more than enough for most people to take him earnestly on his words.

The Jedi was an exemplar of their Order’s determination, that was unmistakable. As sure and strong as the cliffs against a raging loch. The curt threat that she offered to him, undertoned by an offer of mercy and escape, solidified that ideal in his mind. She did not want this anymore than he did. With the alarms blaring, and the force steady in the air, perhaps there was still hope. Perhap-

What? Backup?

Gau turned his head just in time to feel a wave of energy barrel past him and slam into the newcomer like a hoard of beasts. Sending her jettisoning down the hallway, knife dug into the paneling and sending a shower of sparks to enlighten the scene. He brought up a hand to cover his eyes, their naturally photosensitive makeup screaming at the display.

“Who are-” He began, the statement dying in his throat as the woman rushed past the alien, blaster bolts thundering ahead of her charge, the onslaught sending up even more bright showers to dazzle and bewilder the knight.

He only had caught the briefest sight of New Imperial cloth, or he would have assumed that Aerys was a rogue agent, and have set upon her in self defense.

Backing away from the chaos, he thumbed over the activator of his saber. The short spear fissioned into life, with a sharp flash at the emitter before the platinum light. The lightlance was still kept low, and the knight made no forward attempts to engage either the Jedi or Aerys. Watching and waiting, keeping himself a few feet back from the engagement, not letting his spear leave the low fool’s guard that he now held in both hands.

“Barbarian! You waste your energy in pointless contest! This facility is damned!”

​

An almost annoyed breath of air escaped Aurora's voice modulator as the Imperial woman buried her knife into the wall panels, and opened fire. Electronics throughout the hallway exploded, showering the three in sparks and little bits of debris, but none of it really phased the woman who was completely covered in armor and clothing. She just kept her gaze fixed on Aerys, even though Gau was right behind her. But he hadn't shown any desire to get aggressive, and even now just shifted into a defensive stance.​

​

"You fool, this place-" she was interrupted by the sudden burst of speed from Aerys, who charged forward with a knife that. She got much closer than Aurora would have expected from her, and while the attack was dodged, the blade cut into her outer robes. But the Force was still on Aurora's side and augmented her reaction speed to address the new issue.​

​

With a hand raised, she looked to lift the woman off the ground just a little to take away any control she had over her movements, and applied pressure to keep her from reaching for a weapon. If it were to work out as intended, a quick high kick to the side of the head would hopefully be enough to knock her out for now.​

​

"We need to get out of here, this place is going to blow." But that also meant an additional problem. Even if this strange lady tried to attack and kill her, she couldn't leave her behind to die in the explosion of the armory. It just wouldn't be the right thing to do.​

​

So she quickly looked back at Gau and sighed again, "I'm going to carry her out of here but I'll need the fastest way possible." With her on her back, she couldn't phase through the walls again, so she had to actually get through the door.​

​

She paused for a moment and finally asked her question.​

​

"Can you show me the way and cover me?"​

​

Aerys heard Gau , but to be quite honest the voice was drowned by the sound of warning klaxons and the woman's own actions. While moving forward she gave a command, "Exodos kindýnou." The Dosuunian phrases would've escaped most as she busied herself with an aim to get out of the facility and perhaps take the Jedi down with her. The Adrestia responded just as the knife snapped within the wall - momentum stopped just enough for Aerys to ready another wave of blaster bolts. However; a miscalculation in her trajectory put her closer to the Jedi than expected.​

​

The ship itself was closer than anyone could have guessed. What Aerys couldn't have anticipated was the solid boot to the helmet, she was still distracted with the escape. a grappling hook shot forward and attached to it was a small explosive charge, enough to make a hole in the wall. However, the kick knocked Aerys harder than she expected and the grappling hook's trajectory made contact with the vent and not the part of the wall that Aerys had initially aimed for.​

​

A small light blipped on and off for a second, two seconds - three seconds; boom.​

​

Aerys by that point was unconscious and this triggered the Adrestia's kodikós mávros, code black protocol. It was a protocol left out of most if not all the manuals of the ship. This one was specific, Aerys' aunt Ryssa programmed it specifically in case Ariel, Aerys' older sister was ever in trouble. In this case, it was Aerys and a small communique came forward from the now knocked-out trooper's helmet. An Imperial-sounding voice calling the trooper by name, "Lady Fortan-Raaf, Fortan-Raaf come in, please be advised we have received a code black signal."​

​

The trooper's helmet having been cracked by the Jedi's swift kick began to slide off the trooper's head revealing her face. Unbeknownst to the Jedi who now carried the trooper; the Furious-class ship was now ready to receive the trooper with its landing ramp down.​
