As the crew decide what to do next Val overshears Sharj tell Corr that she won't go back. It sounds very final to Val.
Deciding that they have no intention of leaving Kass Harrick with the medicines his brother liberated from Hervé Kasimir-Caalagene Aayla takes the Longhorn back to Kass's club. Whilst Aayla holds the longhorn in position Jorus uses the tractor beam to pull the roof off of the three story building with deft skill, The roof is lifted in one chuck ripped free from the ferrocrete. Using a rigged cable installed by Aayla earlier Lorne jumps out the cargo hold into the hole created by the tractor beam, before he jumps he also shoves out two of the repulsor sleds Corr brought with him, Aayla has also rigged these to give a burst of height from their repulsors before they burn out, so they can get back to the ship. Just before he jumps Corr and Sharj have made there way to the cargo bay and are about to talk to Lorne only to have him lower the ramp and jump out in front of them.
With the top floor of the club exposed (a storage space on the third floor) Lorne lands right next to the stored medical supply crates, there is a very surprised inventory droid who raises it's arms and exclaims surprise in a posh voice. With the roof ripped off Lorne also spots a Gamorrean, one of Kass's men who has been caught short in the now roofless refresher. Lorne shots the door panel to seal the door but the Gamorrean begins to clumsily climb out. Lorne hears people running up the stair well and also spots a cargo lift. That leads to the lower levels. He begins loading the first sled. The first of Kass's men to arrive is
Rask Zhoegh the Beefy Gran Enforcer, Jorus tries to intimidate him with the ships PA but he doesn't seem to hear it or if he does he ignore it. Rask rushes over to stop Lorne but Lorne trips him up sending him sprawling on the floor. Lorne finishes loading the first sled, activates the overloaded sled which shoots up into the air. Ready and waiting Aayla reverses the Longhorn deftly to catch the sled in the cargo bay. Val who has made his was to the cargo bay ramp and is providing covering fire steps aside, his cloak billowing in the updraft from the ship as the sled slams into the cargo bay floor and skids to the back of the bay. Corr and Sharj also get out of the way.
The Gamorrean climbs out of the refresher and the Lorne can hear others rushing up the stairs to the roofless store room. Concerned he will be overwhelmed he encourages Val to join him and load the second sled. Corr volunteers to take Val's place at the cargo bay door and Val throws him his blaster and then jumps out of the longhorn an another rigged cable. Deciding that he won't be much use with the physical labour he intimidate the Gamorrean into loading the crates instead. As other muscle begins arrives at the top of the stairs Jorus uses subtle adjustments to the tractor beam to position the roof in front of the stairway exit blocking anyone else from getting to Lorne. Kass's men begin to push through but Lorne and Val have loaded the last sled and trigger it, it springs into the air with them gripping on tight, as the sled reaches the zenith of it's trajectory Aayla once again manoeuvrers the Longhorn back to catch it in the cargo bay, the sled slides in and the two crew men, suspended by the cables step onto the deck. The Cargo bay is closed and Jorus adroitly places the roof back where it came from, it sags in the middle but is otherwise back where it should be. Aayla puts the longhorn in to a climb and heads for space.
Lorne asks Cass what he wanted to discuss. Cass and Sharj are pretty much speechless from the crews daring escapades but once they get a grip and they begin to tell Val and Lorne that they thank them for what they've done for them but that they will part ways with the crew rather than put them in more danger. Lorne and Val ask them how they hope to survive but they don't really have an answer, as they four of them make their way to the mess and the nearby cockpit, The conversation is interrupted by blaster fire rippling off the shields.
As the Longhorn passes through the thick mustard coloured cloud layer above Zan'tor city the cockpit streaked with polluted rain Aayla and jorus see two fighters that look like knock-off tie fighters speed past the long horn from behind, they start turning for another pass. On the holo the Longhorn receives a transmission from Hervé Kazimir-Caalagene, he demands the return of his property, he's not interested in Corr and Sharj's 'accomplices' but he demands Corr and Sharj. Aayla, not prepared to negotiate begins manoeuvring for battle. Aayla asks Hervé which fighter he is on. Corr says he won't be on either, he has a private yacht and as he does so The Preponderant Opal emerges from the clouds directly in front of the Longhorn and opens fire. The Longhorn's shields go down to a burst of ion cannon fire. Aayla begins throwing wild manoeuvres to avoid the danger and Jorus manages to get some power back to the shields. Lorne rushes to the Ion cannon turret. Val heats up the forward blaster cannons and forces The Preponderant Opal to take evasive action.
