Deurr is tagging along with the group, fiddling with a remote detonator to set the frequency so he doesn't need to do it when they are already there. To be sure sure, he sets another one also on their way and finally slungs the heavy rifle to his hands.
Though the corridors remain hauntingly empty save for the few corpses near the lift tubes, there are still many signs of a fight. The smell of ozone is impossible to miss in the air, evidence of very recent blaster fire to go along with all the black scorch marks across the stone walls...and the door to the comm center, which is closed but, just in front of it, is an unmoving body of an Imperial Stormtrooper with some smoke rising from the faceplate of his helmet.
Down the other direction of the corridor are more Stormtrooper bodies, at least four down the corridor from the briefing room...which is missing its door. Some of the stone walls have collapsed there, too, making it hard to see beyond where the door to the old briefing area should have been.
Distantly, echoing down the corridors from multiple directions, faint sounds can still be heard, though there is still no sign of any living Imperial troops still.
Kay:
Spoiler:
The door to the comm center looks very slightly buckled inwards.
Deurr:
Spoiler:
The door to the briefing room at the other end of the hall looks to have been completely destroyed by a small explosive charge.
Exterior Group:
The Great Temple where the Yavin Base was built within was actually one large temple and a smaller, similarly designed temple just to the north. The main hangar of the base faced south, meaning that out that direction, all that could currently be seen was dirt, grass, and eventually, trees. There were no Imperials to the south just yet...or at least, none that could be seen.
Around the two temples would be a clearing between them and the jungle beyond, roughly half a kilometer's worth of empty nothingness before the thick, hard-to-traverse jungle took over. There were some smaller clearings within the jungle, most of that was towards the north, apparently where the YT-2000 was supposed to be. But reports were also that the Imperials had mostly been coming from that direction. They would likely be focused on taking the base and everything within, rather than worried about the surrounding jungle...probably.
"Sithspit," Kay cursed at seeing the state of the door, Imps had tried to get in, possibly breaking the door. It may or may not have been inoperable depending on how much it was bent.
"I think were a bit behind in this race, people." the Corellian said moving forward to the door. "Duerr, help me try to open it, hopefully its not been bent to much to let us through. Viria try and cover the hall behind us, if we can get in the door we may need to take the long way to the Data room."
Moving forward to the door, Kay tried to operate the door controls. Keeping her stun grenade ready in her hand meant she had to reholster her blaster to get a hand free for the door controls but she felt the grenade would be more useful.
Lia makes her way through the bodies of the Stormtroopers, blaster pistol held at the ready. She tries not to think of the men behind the mask, hoping that they're clones and not recruits. At least then she doesn't have to think about the families left behind.
She motions to the other, more accomplished fighters of the group to take the lead, preferring to wait.

"K2, see if you can do something if Kay and Duerr can't force the door." Istara said.
The droid beeped.
"You're not a war droid, and you have some tools that might be useful for breaking down a door. Though it might be faster to just go around." She argued back.
A low-pitched series of beeps that sounded frustrated followed, but the droid rolled up behind Kay.
Deurr moves next to Kay and comments on the condition of the door. "Blown. Small charge." He is short on words but everyone already knew that. He doesn't like speaking in basic. "Won't open without force"
"Got it. I've got something special for any imperial visitors." Viria hears Deurr mention the door won't open without being forced. "So, break it down or go around? Breaking it is faster, but that will surely get someone's attention. Going around is a little safer I guess, but isn't time a factor? I say blow the door."
OOC: Can Deurr approximate wether or not the door can be blown open with a charge or thermal det. (or maybe put a rocket through it )? Big explosives would do the trick but we don't have much...
"Got it. I've got something special for any imperial visitors." Viria hears Deurr mention the door won't open without being forced. "So, break it down or go around? Breaking it is faster, but that will surely get someone's attention. Going around is a little safer I guess, but isn't time a factor? I say blow the door."
"You're the combat vets here, but it seems to me that our supplies of explosives are limitted, and it'll take longer to set up a charge that won't take us with it than it will to go around." Istara says.
"Let's get Deurr's take on this. I'm good either way with my toy here, as she gently pats her heavy repeater, so let's decide and do whatever it takes."
To Garret, Yuul responds, "Sounds like a plan; let's get down to the hangar and see if she's still around to be had." He begins hustling towards the hangar where the ground vehicles were stored, blaster in hand, assuming Garret and Kyn will follow. "Got to warn you, though," he adds, "She's only got two seats, and if it's the ship you're after, it'd be better for the two of you to take her. If we don't find a spare, I can hold my own outside of the base and hopefully secure you a landing area." This was already a more sticky situation than Yuul would hope for.
"Maybe it can seat all three of us but a be a little slower. Two of us can kind of hold on to the side and run or skip with it. We may need all three of us. Pilot, Engineer, and Mechanic to get her running. Plus if there are bucket head about we will need three as they do not go quietly."
Was a bit unclear, I think. I was actually referring to the door on the OTHER end of the hallway being destroyed rather than the damage to the Comm Center door...however, a quick little roll here on looking at the Comm Center door and it does look like there was some kind of explosive that went off nearby. It wasn't big, though, as the door is just very slightly buckled compared to the Briefing Room's door on the other end of the corridor, which is completely destroyed and surrounded by stone rubble. Considering the damage to the other door, a charge placed near the center of the Comm Center's door should destroy the thing pretty easily...though it might cause the walls to collapse, too.
...and a rocket would definitely take it out.
Upon Kay's activating of the door controls, there was a slight pop sound from the controls themselves, with the lights around them suddenly going dark. In the uncomfortable silence, R2-K2 emitted a series of beeps.
To those that understand Binary...
Spoiler:
The R2 unit comments that if everyone would just get out of his way, it would be easy to fix what Kay had broken.
But a moment later, the door slid open...well, not completely. There was the typical hiss as it slid to the left, but then a sudden, violent noise of metal scraping metal before the door stopped completely, only half open. But through the smaller opening than would have been preferred, two white-armoured Stormtroopers could be seen facing the other direction, with a young-looking human male in a solid black Imperial uniform staring wide-eyed right at the opening in obvious shock.
Combat Info
Spoiler:
Since you guys have the jump on them...this'll be the surprise round. Initiative first, of course.
Istara: 13
Lia: 21
Kay: 27
Viria: 19
Deurr: 23
So...order for this round is: Kay, Deurr, Lia, Viria, Istara.
Exterior Group
OOC
Spoiler:
Question before pushing this one on...
There are three of you, and only two can fit onto a speeder bike. So, the obvious questions becomes how do you want to move on? Speederbikes are WAY too fast to just hang onto without a place to be safely on, even at the slower speeds its just not doable to squeeze three on the tiny chassis as there just isn't room.
I never thought we could fight the Empire without killing anyone. But I'd hoped I wouldn't have to pull the trigger myself. Istara thinks.
If Istara has line of sight on one or more of the imperials...
Istara lines up a shot at the unarmored black-unfiormed imperial (or whichever stormtrooper is closest, if she doesn't have LoS on the officer), then fires.
Spoiler:
Spend her swift action and move action to Aim, so she can ignore cover (which her allies likely are providing), then fire her pistol.
Blinking in surprise as the door opens on the imperials, kay quickly throws the readied stun gernade and ducks back around the door for cover from the flash, drawing her blaster again as the grenade explodes in a flash of stunning energy.
OOC: Standard Action to throw the Stun Grenade Attack Roll 6+17=23 Stun Damage 4d6+2 = 20
Move action to take full cover behind the door and clear a shot for the others
Swift action to quickdraw her heavy blaster
Amidst the stun grenade going off into the room, Lia--covering Kay--quickly aims her blaster pistol at the nearest Stormtrooper. The shot is wide however. Attack=9

Kyne has some ranks in mechanic, although I doubt they would leave us with a ship that needs repair. Anyone that can fly can go get it, but I'll have to suggest Kyne (being a pilot and all).

Deurr was taking a look at the bent door when the droid came to open it. Seeing the imperials standing just the other side he curses in Ubese and slings the blaster to hand while sidestepping to take cover behind the doorframe.
)? Big explosives would do the trick but we don't have much...
