"Thanks a lot," Rosa says after the group works to neutralize the poison in her body. After its gone, she feels strangely refreshed, and stands watch over the group as they continue to work on Storm. "He's going to be okay?" she asks.

"Yea, he'll be fine. He is a bit tougher than you are, he had more venom in his system than you did. Its been neutralized now though." Istara told the officer.
"Once the two of you feel ready we can keep going."
"They definitely had the advantage of it being their domain," says Wes as he frowns a bit at the corpses of the slain felines. It's obvious to those with any level of insight, forced aided or otherwise, that Wes feels he should have spotted them. "I'll keep that in mind as we press forward."
With that, the scout moves to take point and continue on the way to their mission objective.
"I'll scout ahead a few meters while you all get sorted. I'll have my comms open."
Rosa nods to Wes as he suggests going ahead to scout the terrain. "That's good to hear. We ready, then?" as the rest of her team agrees, and with Wes at a suitable position at the point of the group, Rosa begins to head towards the enemy's position.

You have to hike another ten kilometers or so across the broken terrain before Wes spots the first sign that you really are heading in the right direction, a single stormtrooper obviously standing point.
Upon seeing the lone stormtropper, sends back a hold position signal to the group, checks to make sure that the imperial is really alone before he then drops back to the others and fills them in one what he saw and where.
"Basically," finishes Wes. "He looks to be alone."
"With only four of us a stand up fight is not a good idea." Istara says, watching the trooper. "It would be better to avoid him to preserve the surprise since we'll need it once we find their main group...we need to avoid getting caught between him and his comrades though."
A wry grin forms upon Wes's face, as his answer to being safe, with the briefest of nods before he heads off into the brush, so as to map out a safe route for the group to pass around the lone sentry.
Wes has spotted the first Imperial Stormtrooper standing point. It's likely there are others. You can probably defeat one without much trouble, but if he or she (the official sexism of Palpatine's Empire was tossed aside by reform-minded Emperors long ago, much like the official anti-nonhuman prejudice, though unofficially both linger) manages to call for backup, it could become a much more serious problem.
As has been the case for most of your walk out here, there are occasional large boulders and clumps of scrub that can provide cover for sneaking around, but you'll have to be very careful. Presumably there's some sort of building or cave structure further in, but you can't make anything out just yet.
Primary skills: Stealth, Perception, Deception. Beyond that, be creative.
Rosa, knowing that she definately couldn't talk her way through due to her Alliance uniform, begins looking for a way to sneak past the stormtrooper. (Perception +9)

Wes manages to creep unseen to a better observation point. Anticipating the sentry's paterns, he's able to wave you to a spot behind another boulder farther along, and scout ahead himself.
(19 on the die + 11 stealth = 30; 1 Success, and because that was an insanely good roll, a +2 to the next Stealth check someone else makes)
From the improved vantage point, Rosa observes the Imperial.
(9 on the die + 9 = 18; another success, just barely)
It looks like he is following standard Imperial Stormtrooper sentry paterns... which are quite thorough, but a bit predictable. With a little work, you manage to time your movements to get past him.
You can now see what looks like a structure of some sort off in the distance, and another Imperial somewhat closer.
