As most everybody in the shuttle flies into a panic, Leo shakes his head, stands up, removes his tool kit from his leg compartment, and nonchalantly states "Well, it certainly looks like I've got a job and a half this morning."
Leo heads towards the source of the explosion, tries to make an assessment of the damage and, if possible, begins some jury-rig repairs.

Izon watches as the others break into action. Once the commotion seems to clear, he pulls his repair kit out, stands and walks over to where the droid is. Standing behind the droid, he watches and will make sure that it is not doing anything wrong.
OOC:
Repair check to see if what the droid is working on is correct, or if he can fix it on his own.

The first explosion woke Calven from his reverie with an unpleasent jolt. Looking about, his mind started into action long before his body as he tried to place the source. Sabotage?
The other passengers seemed to be employing themselves to good effect, though, and the academic was certain L-3PO could handle any mechanical failures. The prospect of another explosive device - if the first had been rigged as he suspected - prompted concern. "Leo, just look out for booby traps, okay? I don't think this was an accident." He unbuckled his straps and made for the cockpit, following Ryn. Better see if I can be of use up there. Kid'll fly like a crop-duster if I'm not mistaken - not that this thing's really 'flying' right now... Under his breath he muttered darkly to himself "If I'm going to die in a flaming wreck, I'm damned well getting a good view of it."

From his seat beside the pilot, Ryn yells back to Calven, "I was thinking we got shot at, but it doesn't hurt to be careful. You guys need help with anything back there?"
Ryn then glances over at the pilot, and copies his actions on the stick in front of him (if the shuttle has a co-pilot's chair).
Otherwise, Ryn will get on the ship's comlink, just like Rax taught him to do: "Mayday, mayday! Any ships and installations in the vicinity with tractor beam capability, please assist - Space Liner Celestial Shuttle has taken damage, and has lost pilot control! Headed for Dantooine surface at full grav, prepare surface for possible impact! Mayday! Mayday! We have lost pilot control, are falling toward planet surface, and if we don't get some help, somebody's gonna have some cleaning and roof repair to do!"
Looking back at the pilot: "Let's try to level her off, and head for water. We might have a chance that way."

As the shuttle careens out of control, the group springs into action. Oraltor does his best to calm the few passengers who are no immediately jumping up to help. Knowing that the explosion was located on or in the engines, Leo moves to a panel that he pops open after a moment of struggle. Inside are wires, hoses, and other things associated with the engine system. The whole system is fried, and a small amount of smoke begins trickling into the cabin from the burnt circuitry. Assessing the damage, he sees that restarting the engines is going to be impossible without the right parts. However, the stabilizers might be able to be repaired, or at least jury-rigged to give some control back to the pilot. Leo begins repairing the stabilizers. Izon, watching over the droid's shoulder, finds that the droid is doing the only thing he can to help the shuttle.
Up in the cockpit, the human pilot has accepted Ryn's offer of help and Ryn is strapped into the empty co-pilot's chair. A few moments later, Andre and Calven join Ryn and the shuttle pilot in the small cockpit. Miraculously, after struggling with the controls, Ryn pulls the ship out of its uncontrolled dive and levels it off, making the descent much smoother. (OOC: Pilot roll of natural 20!)
As the shuttle passes through 8,000 feet, Leo manages to bring the stabilizers back online. (OOC: another roll of natural 20, this time on repair!) While the shuttle still has no power to the badly damaged engines, the ride does smooth out even more. Ryn notices that he doesn't have to fight with the controls as much as he did prior to Leo completing the repair.
With the shuttle going down with no engines, despite being under some small amount of control, the landing is going to be a hard one. No water of any sort can be seen from the altitude that the shuttle is at. In fact, the shuttle is going down into a forest, a large one. Below, with the shuttle passing 3,000 feet, can be seen miles upon miles of forest. The pilot turns the controls completely over to Ryn and then makes an announcement that the passengers should strap in and prepare for impact.
Ryn does his best to control the shuttle and make the landing as painless as possible, but it does come down hard, smashing through the canopy of trees. The cabin rocks to the left and right as it hits the trunks of massive trees but Ryn somehow keeps it from turning over. A few seconds later, the shuttle hits the ground hard, causing the passengers to be tossed around in their restraints before the shuttle comes to a stop. The noise of the landing is replaced by an almost unnatural quiet...

Izon unbuckles his restraints and stands up. He grabs his stuff and turns to all who are on board. "Well, I guess we're on foot from here on out. I personally have never been to Dantooine, but we are in a forest. So, I'm guessing that there are some creatures out there that may not be too friendly." Looking at each person in turn. "Do any of you know how to fight? Better yet, do any of you have a blaster of some type of weapon to defend yourselves?" After everybody responds Izon pauses, looks the group over again, shakes his head and then hits the release on the hatch. "Well, I suppose we should get moving before nightfall." With that, Izon steps out into the forest.

As everybody sits in that stunned silence, amazed by the notion that they're still alive, Leo emerges from the back of the shuttle with a few spare parts in hand, and announces "Well, folks, another job well done. Unfortunately, I don't think this shuttle's going to be flying again any time soon, if at all."
"The whole engine is badly damaged, and it looks like the majority of the system needs to be replaced outright. I was able to get the stabilizers back in operation, but unfortunately, that's just a temporary fix. But I have to say, it's so disappointing to see the corners people are cutting to save on production costs these days! You'd think that those extra few creds here and there for things like emergency backup engines or low-smoke cable would be a sacrifice a true craftsman would be willing to make, you know? And speaking of that smoke, I don't know how this guy could stand it! I don't even breathe, and I could barely take it, what with my sensors..."
(Leo continues like this for a while, at least until everybody else snaps out of that post-crash shock)
(OOC: When I was poking around back there, did I happen to see any evidence of what caused the explosion, or at least figure out whether the damage was from an internal or external source?)

Andre digs around in his bag and pulls out a bundle of something which turns out to be an older model but still servicable blaster with safety still on obviously because he drops it once before getting control of it. He also pulls out his comlink, "so we don't get lost."
He straps the blaster on but does not brandish nor does he even release the safety catch on the holster to be able to release it.

Izon is outside of the shuttle, glad that he is not able to hear the droid rambling on about some faulty part that was located on the ship. He pokes his head back into the shuttle just in time to see Andre fumbling with his blaster. Ducking back outside, Izon shakes his head. He walks a few paces from the shuttle thinking to himself. 'Why? Why? Why does this happen to me? It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to watch over my should worried that somebody might trip and discharge their blaster into my back.' Izon waits outside adjusting his pack so that he is ready to travel.
