Tilon reaches the ladder, grabbing onto it and scrabbling up to the service cooridor, his feet swinging as the ship twists and shudders from torpedo impact. He hops, left footed, riding the next wave of convulsions as another torpedo impacts the hull, looking out the transparasteel window into space towards the planet briefly before running towards the hatch leading to the cockpit. He mutters, under his breath, "Master didn't mention anything about /this/...."

Denny turns to the captain. "Well! I dare say, there won't be any cavalry charing in at the last minute to save our hides." He announces, almost gleefully, "The bloody Separtists have all the hyperjump points and starports under siege. It seems we have the makings off a right proper adventure on our hands, what?"
One of Denny's hands switches open the intercomm channel to the engine room, "Could you use a bit of assistance, Pog? There is a notorious lack of anyone interesting to speak with over the comm channels." Without waiting for an answer, Denny's second hand switches his console over from the comm display to the engineering display. His remaining two hands begin the process of shutting down power to the now non-existant hyperdrive, and shunting it to the main ion drives.
OOC: Assuming that he can access engineering controls from the bridge (let me know if he can't), Denny will attempt to deactivate the hyperdrive, and then re-route its power to the sub-light drive to increase the ship's speed by 1 square/turn... Hopefully shortening the time it takes to make planetfall.

[OOC: Without having my books on me ATM, this is how I'm inclined to rule: Denny can do the shutdown of power to hyperdrive from where he's at on the bridge (which involves a Check, I think), but the reroute can only take place at the pilot/co-pilot's station, or in Engineering itself. The captain's going to be too busy flying the ship to deal with ship config directly.
Therefore, it's up to Pog first whether he wants to use that power on engines or shields, and Pog also serves as backup for the shutdown in case Denny can't complete it for some reason. Your failsafe is Kerracor, who will also have access to all of those controls from his co-pilot's seat.
This may change when I get a chance to look it over again - I'm also searching for a deck plan for this cruiser, so I can more effectively rule who can reach where from what seat. You are seated, right, Denny?
I'll try not to give up too much before everyone has had a chance to post, but I want to avail you all of your options, and comment that most other ships would have been hurtling toward planetside impact by now. You're doing remarkably well, and it helps, too, that you've been remarkably lucky.]

As he is helping a child get strapped in to his seat, Ka Jor thinks to himself, "This war is worse than I thought if our mission is to repatriate these people, only to find that their planet too is under siege. I have to think of something to keep them calm..."
Ka Jor searches his memory of what he read from the Jedi archives on Coruscant; "That's it!"
As he continues to help get people settled, intent on being the last to be strapped in, Ka Jor begins to speak in a loud but clear voice, "This reminds me of the tale of Damin Rebant, a Jedi explorer..."
[OOC: How many rounds until the passengers are all strapped in?"]

[Strapping in's a move action, which all of the refugees managed to accomplish on their turn in Round One. You now have a captive audience, of various races (a quarter human, a quarter Falleen), of various ages, in various emotional states ranging from calm to panic. You may tell your story.]

Pog's hands begin to fly over the engineering station. He begins to reroute power from the inoperable hyperdrive to the main engines. Hearing Denny come over the comlink, he replies. "Already on that one Denny. Perhaps you can begin to reroute power to the shields? I'm thinking that life support is probably an expendable power source since we're screaming towards the planet right now." That being said, Pog begins to search for more power sources that can be used in order to increase their speed, or shields.
OOC:
He will look for all other power sources that he thinks are NOT detrimental to the survival of the ship. Lights, life support, any other niceties. Also, having never been in a ship combat situation before, is it possible for Pog to jettison the hyperdrive in order to decrease their weight and possibly give the droid fighters something to dodge?

[OOC: Maddmic - This, too, will require at least a better ship spec than I have in the adventure to rule upon properly, but based on what I remember through the movies, you can't just pitch the hyperdrive out an open airlock, not that there's enough of it left to compose an obstacle larger than a basketball, anyway.
Still, there are silver linings to losing the hyperdrive, and this is exactly the type of thinking that I alluded to in my post on the OOC thread. I think you'll be happy with the results.]

"Righty-o, old bean," Denny replies to Pog, "Consider it done." Before he gets too involved with the power grid, he hits another nearby button, and his console monitor changes again to display the deflector shield systems.
The xexto begins adjusting the shields to provide the greatest cover possible for the ship, while, at the same time, tuning the shield generator output for the maximum recharge rate.
OOC: Ok. At Pog's request, Denny changes tack... He'll use one move action to angle the deflector shields toward where ever enemy attacks seem most probable. His second move action will be spent recharging the shields.
And of course he's strapped in... See my first post.
