Round Three
Tilon climbs back down from the berm, and accepts Ka Jor's pill. As he takes it, he can feel energy beginning to course back through his body (in two rounds, Tilon will gain back 4 VP).
Hiru, sliding to the bottom of the ship with the two refugees, asks the human lady if she needs some rope or anything. The woman turns to him, and says, "Well, I gotta see if he'll come to me first, and even then I reckon a rope won't do us much good. It might scare the animal."
The woman then begins to cross the large expanse of shaved soil to the east of the ship. [By next round, she'll be in a position to try and entice the gormalok to come to her.] The Falleen follows at a respectable distance, not wanting to do anything that would startle the gormalok until the woman has calmed him down, if she can do that.
Shom notices the woman going over, and says into his comlink, "I'll give her three tries to get people on top of that gormalok, but if she can't do that, we start blasting. If we can't clear thirty square meters of bladegrass before the Seps can clear 800, then we deserve to rot in an CIS detention facility. But it's your call..."
Speaking of the Seps, the battle droids have helped where they could squeeze in between the GATs, and the group has made about 5m of progress through the bladegrass. It's still going to be a while before they reach your position, it looks like, but time is of the essence to figure a way to move thirty refugees plus crew to safe ground on the other side.
Meanwhile, Denny fits two-dimensionally on the STAP platform alongside Pog, but the additional weight makes it impossible to lift the airspeeder above the berm to avoid high-centering, much less stay above the bladegrass to avoid harm. For now, though, the two are safe from bladegrass, even if the STAP doesn't seem to want to move.
Kerracor slides to the bottom of the ship, and starts toward his personal locker to retrieve his toolbox. Kerracor can smell smoke beginning to drift through the pathways of the Sanctuary.
The refugees remaining in the ship, after having let Kerracor back in to retrieve his tools, have started again to debark, where they are met by Ka Jor at the hatch. The third group of four is now out of the hatch, and preparing to slide, while the fourth group has almost reached the top.
They seem cheery, if a little anxious to exit. Once they slide to the bottom, they stay out of the way to the east of the ship, so that Alice and the Falleen can attempt to lure the gormalok.

Smelling the smoke, Kerraccor hurries to retrieve his toolkit, wondering if part of the ship is on fire or if the smoke is just that of burnt out electronic components. Once he retrieves his tools, he will hurry back to the hatch and exit the ship. Outside, he will tell Shom that smoke is beginning to drift through the interior of the ship and that maybe they should all get a little ways away from it.

"They don't build them liek they used to," mutters Denny, surprised at the lack of power behind the STAP's repulsor engines.
"I'll tell you what, old chap... Why don't you wait here, and I'll tow the other one over this way where you can fix it in peace." He pats the coil of rope hanging over his shoulder.

Hiru will make sure that the passengers are debarking safely, then climbs back into the ship. He turns and faces out the hatch, momentarily thinking about picking off battle droids to slow down the tanks. "No, that would probably allow the tanks to return fire, and that we do NOT want..." Looking out the hatch, Hiru realizes that he has no clue where they've landed or where to find a friendly roof. Hiru spins and heads to the galley, grabbing several stout-looking refugees along the way to help carry supplies they'll probably need for the trip. Over the comlink, he asks, "Say, does anyone have a map of this place or any idea where we should be heading, aside from away from the droids?"
