Panic wasn't something Ebony was generally hit by, none different for the dozens or more items that rocketed up at her.

She let a small laugh escape her lips as the darts or whatever they were bounce off of her suit. She was glad she'd taken time making the material; an intricate layer of nanofibers all woven together to create a suit that clung to the skin like leather, but had the strength and density of plasteel. It stopped the impact of anything small like a dart, and helped reflect electrical currents or even sometimes blaster bolts if extremely lucky. However a lightsaber. blade or explosion were very much so as dangerous as if she had no armour at all.

She bounced between her feet with the energy flowing back into her extremities, the cold no longer bothering her.

She knelt down ever so slightly and burst across the snow again, her sword now held in reverse as she stabbed forward at the sith padawan.

A few moments after Vrak had placed the beacon a ship dropped out of the sky. It was nothing but a spec for half a moment, a distant sight on the horizon.

Then it became more and more clear. A black dot that grew into a shuttle of large proportion. It dropped low towards the ground, it's engines roaring loudly as it swooped over head and fired it's turret mounted weapons. Blast bolts landed on the ground, scattering the remaining security guards and half derailing the train. Vrak stood in the middle of it, waiting as the ship flew overhead and began to deploy towing hooks. The Sith quickly went to work attaching them to the container, watching as the cargo bay of the shuttle popped open and began to retrieve the cargo.

"Neesa!" He called to the assasssin as the ship began to raise the cargo.

Within a moments notice Vrak was inside the cargo bay, the Hssiss class Shuttle quickly moving forward as it's cargo ramp lowered.

As the Shuttle swooped over head Neesa would have a few moments to disengage her opponent and jump aboard, Vrak waiting on the ramp of the cargo-hold just in case her opponent got any ideas about jumping in and following.

The saber hissed as it met her blades. By contrast every time that sword whipped around in a reverse hand slash it rang out as it met Neesa's parries. She kept her footwork tight on the treacherous terrain as she gave ground.

Neesa crossed both blades to pushed to lightsaber aside and then swiped for the other shoulder. With a reverse hand grip it would be a tricky block for the woman in black.

The thrum of the shuttles engines alerted her far more than Vrak's call. As it drifted towards them an entire door was ripped from the train telekentically. It spun on its end as it flew through the air. Neesa darted backwards as it collided with the ground where she had been stood, throwing snow in all directions.

With swords sheathed she ran as hard as she could, drawing the Force around her as she leapt for the lowered ramp.

Ebony watched the snow burst upwards, watched the woman slink off through the cloud of white.

She grit her teeth, but she accepted the futility of her predicament; there was nothing she could do about a master and apprentice that had access to their own ship, so she let her saber fizzle back down and she turned on her heel, pulling her hood up over her head.

She held up her wrist and smiled slyly though; she may not have something she could do now, but the tracker on the apprentice would work, if not that; then the hacked ship's internal systems would work just as well for tracking. Whether or nto she'd act on either was a concern for another day.

So her fingers danced over the console on her wrist and the light bent around her body, blending her form in with her surroundings, rendering her almost invisible to the eye.

Neesa couldn't withhold a broad grin at the sight of the haul. She had never been a part of a plan to steal quite so much before. She turned with her swords ready by her sides. Snow as fine as dust was kicked up by the shuttles engines as they accelerated away, but through it she kept her eyes on her opponent right up until the woman vanished into thin air and the bay was sealed tight by the pneumatic arms.

For Ebony the signal would continue until the shuttle intersected the Mara corridor at Caluula. Nothing further would be received from the shuttle.
