Val, Jorus and Lorne social out manoeuvre Seighas Varusful. By the end of the exchange she is beaten, afraid of Lorne and has been shaken to her core, perhaps he rigid adherence to the Inheritor combat code has been wrong all along.
In the safety shelter:
Jorus treats the 4 year old girl for breathing difficulties caused by smoke inhalation
Val hands over box of tools brought with him to Tepo Spiro an Inheritor crafts man who has been keep the air recycler running, he keeps it going but it's still making concerning noises.
Val keeps everyone calm and gets a read of the survivors mental state: traumatised.
Jorus speaks with Caliliste Chantal, Jorus is keen to spread the word and draw on other Cadre's Caliliste tries to guide him to focus on the immediate problem of saving what is left of his people. She also shares that she thinks the Empire must have got hold of Marauder navigations data from other Cadre's although no Cadre has a complete set of navigational data all know there own hyperspace paths through the rift. The Wind Thorne cadre have also lost contact with other Cadre's and she relays the same concerns about traders and messengers not arriving, now she knows why.
Lorne remembers that before his exile he agreed an escape plan with his wife should any in the Cadre turn against her for being an Exile's wife. Located in the flotilla was part of a ship with a still working escape pod. They might have made it to it. It would have been near where they where last seen. Lorne informs the Longhorn and Dr Mentzer begins searching for the pod.
Unable to get the Longhorn close enough to pick up the survivors the Crew come up with a plan to use the M27 mining droid to cut a it's way to the survival shelter, cut the shelter free and bring it out of the wreckage. Aayla guides the droid from the Longhorn.
Whilst the droid does it's work Val and Lorne venture out into the airless gravity-less corridors of the flotilla wreck and search for the strange power signals. They locate an Imperial Probe Droid, After a short exchange of blaster fire it explodes in Lorne's face. There is no useful wreckage for Val to sift through, he had hoped he might be able to trace where it was transmitting to.
Dr Mentzer informs Lorne she has found the pod.
The M27 Droid finishes it's heroic job of lifting the survival shelter free of the wreckage out into the dense debris field that surrounds it.
Aayla and Dr Mentzer a disturbed to see an Imperial Raider Corvette arriving from hyperspace. It launces four tie fighters which screech towards the Longhorn. The bigger ship bristles with deadly weapons.
