The medic does as ordered.

He walks up behind them and, using a piece of cable, ties their hands together, rather thoroughly.  He gives the assistant the same order, and does the same to them.  When he's done, he walks over to the table, and checks the kid for physical injuries, before picking them up.  Once he's done so, he speaks to Jamis again.

"Go search the guard for their comm.  We'll bring it with us."

She keeps holding Alek's hand as Canin lifts him up, and only reluctantly lets go in response to his directions. The guard's comm is quickly found, and then she slips back close to his side again, "That way leads down to some more cells," she tells him quietly, "I don't think there's a way out over there... though I guess maybe there's a door to the service corridors we came in through?"

"There a reason not to go back out the way we came in?"

Permalink

"Maybe, if the buyer is dangerous, or more guards are coming with them?" She's not sure, though. That air of danger is stronger than before, if she pays attention to it, but most of her attention is locked on Alek at the moment instead. 

Permalink

He grunts, and heads back out the door they came in through, though he still pauses for her direction at every intersection after that, instead of simply following the route they took in.

Permalink

She doesn't know the base that well. The best she can do is direct them back to the same route they came in, through the back halls and away from the route the buyer will probably be taking. But the only entrance she knows to those is through the door next to the monitoring station. 

And they encounter resistance before that, in the form of a pair of alarmed guards checking over the dead ones they'd left on their way past. One of them notices Canin coming up the corridor and shouts, turning their blaster and firing at him as soon as they spot him.

Canin is wearing beskar'gam.  He turns so the child he's carrying is away from the guards, sets the kid down, and then turns again, keeping himself between the enemies and the unarmored children accompanying him, and draws his blaster and begins firing back.

Permalink

Jamis helps! She ducks down so she's in his shadow and shoots one of the guards in the leg, sending them down in agony and leaving them as easy prey for Canin. Her second shot misses the other guard and hits the monitoring station instead, sending sparks up to flash over the pair of enemies. 

Permalink

He takes the easy shot, and then shoots for the others shoulder, on their dominant arm, hoping to make them stop shooting for a second.

Permalink

That does in fact make them stop shooting for a second! Multiple seconds, even, as they drop their blaster and duck behind the monitoring station. 

Permalink

Canin follows them behind the monitoring station, moving quickly, and reholstering his blaster pistol to draw a vibroknife.  It doesn't take long for him to close in on them with the vibroknife and jam it into their chest.

When he's done, he stands up to look around for signs of more guards, or an activated alarm.

Permalink

There's a light flashing on the monitoring station, and in the silence after all the noise of the fight he can hear someone calling over the comm. 

"Kresh! Kresh, respond! What's happening down there?!"

Permalink

Kriff. He's no good at voices, and he's not gonna ask Jamis if she can do it- failing tends to get a presence quicker than nor responding would have.  He turns, picks up the still drugged kid, and signals "come with me".

He isn't waiting for directions, anymore- their cover is blown now, the goal is to move fast.  He's not running, because he doesn't want to lose Jamis or injure the kid he's carrying, but he is walking unusually quickly.  He's also watching through his HUD for more lifeforms, and when he first sees someone approaching he sets the kid down and moves towards them with his blaster drawn, shooting as soon as he comes into range.

Permalink

Jamis follows after him at a slightly faster pace, for her, and stays behind to guard Alek whenever Canin sets him down to deal with enemies, only assisting now when those fights are within her sight.

It's very clear that these slavers were not at all prepared to be confronted with a Mandalorian in Beskar'gam - and who could blame them, really, given the affiliation of the child said being is rescuing? Or that's what any survivors are likely to report, little though it will aid them in escaping the displeasure of their superiors. 

At any rate, despite some mildly hairy spots when a trio of guards close in on him with melee weapons, and once when a couple nearly get past him, attempting to reach the kids as hostages since he seems to be guarding them, he and his young client/helper manage to fight their way through the disorganized resistance and up to the front doors.

-where they encounter the first real trouble spot. 

With absolutely no warning, not from Jamis' intuition or from Canin's HUD, a vibroblade sweeps down at him as they enter the base's entrance hall, avoiding striking the child he's carrying but aiming for a part of his armour that's unplated, between helmet and pauldron. Its wielder, bipedal, average human height, entirely covered by cloth and armour and mask, clearly wearing some kind of advanced stealth tech, appears to have come entirely out of nowhere. 

Permalink

Canin goes down with the strike as soon as he feels it, lessening the damage of the blow somewhat and giving him a chance to put Alek down, although he doesn't move away from Alek this time.  While the damage of the blow was lessened, his shoulder is still obviously injured.  He draws his knife again, with the uninjured arm, and stabs at the attacker as he rises, aiming for the neck, the hardest vulnerable area to protect. 

"Shoot him!" he shouts to Jamis as he rises.

Permalink

Jamis darts forward to crouch over Alek and shoots at the man from under Canin's arm.

Permalink

The attacker catches Canin's knife with the hilt of his own blade, deflecting and darting back to get a little space now that he's not at best advantage so close up, incidentally getting out of the way of Jamis' bolt in the process. His vibroblade deacitvates momentarily as he settles the flat of one blade against his arm and pulls out one of the blasters at his hips, firing at the knife in Canin's hand. 

Permalink

As soon as he sees the man go for his blaster, Canin lunges forward, aiming his knife for the hand that reached for it, and causing the man's shot to go wide, almost hitting Jamis.  He curses quietly when he notices this and slams an armored boot down on the mans foot, hoping to distract him with pain and loosen his grip on the blaster.

Permalink

He grunts, leg faltering, but his grip doesn't, and he turns the reinforced barrel of his blaster to catch his knife, shoving him back with that and the hilt of his vibroblade held in his other hand, supporting his weight on the uninjured foot and he reactivates the vibration and sweeps out at him with the blade, bringing the blaster up to fire into his wounded shoulder at the same time.

Permalink

Jamis squeaks, flinching from the shot, but she's fine- she hesitates to try to shoot him while they're so close together, feeling like she could be pretty sure but not totally sure she'd hit the attacker and not Canin-

Permalink

"Keep kriffing shooting!" he shouts.

He turns into the swing of the blade, catching it across his beskar-covered torso as he brings his knife over it to slam hard into the mans neck again.  The turn moves his injured shoulder mostly out of the way of the blaster shot, but it still grazes him, and he stumbles slightly, hissing in pain.

Permalink

The man turns and twists with him, taking the knife to the shoulder instead of directly to the neck- this does cause him to finally drop the blaster though, and also puts his back directly to Jamis-
