AS the other rebels went about their work Kieran turned back to the elevators, both still non-operational and while that was handy at stopping more Stormtroopers getting up easily it left them with the stairs. However they had the high ground so that was always beneficial. He signalled for her to follow him and he moved into the stairwell, looking down the centre empty column he could hear some kind of a skirmish going on down on the lower levels. Then he got the idea to take the express route. Who ever it was likely at least one of the parties involved were rebels, and he'd rather not leave them. That's when he remembered something, turning to Aralia. "Get on the commlink, boost the range and call in all SpecForce soldiers still alive. Tell everyone else to go to ground, but if we are going to sort this out and turn the tides at some point I'll need the best folk for the job." While she did that he moved to the turbolifts, forcing either door open. The bottom of both turbolifts were ruined, it would have to be the stairs.

It took them several minutes to get close to the commotion and as they did he stopped at a door onto one of the floors. "Get through there, and find us a way out of the building." He handed her his grapple. "Even if it's just to an adjacent building. Go, quickly." She merely nodded and ran in. He kept going, staying low he dove round a corner, raising his weapon at... a Weequay. Though at the same time the Weequay turned to him Kieran fired, straight past the beings head at a stormtrooper who had rounded the corner in the second the Weequay had ceased firing. 

He then took a thermal detonator off his belt and tossed it over to the Weequay. "Names Kieran, you think the Imps want us out of here?"

Loretta pressed a button on her tablet, cutting off power to FourSevens microphone. He could still talk, though it'd be muffled and practically impossible to hear. She signalled to two other droids, who moved over and picked up the rebel. Depositing him in a nearby chair. "I'm sure you'll appreciate that I won't tell you exactly what I'm doing Mr.Theros. You are only in it for the money after all. I'd hate for you to go off world and then talk when out of range of my influence or credits." She moved subtly and the droids understood perfectly what was required as they moved into another room, an eerie blue glow and tanks of a metallic looking fluid could be seen in the brief seconds the door was open, and the faintest shimmer of movement from within one of the tanks.

"I merely thought that I should meet you in person, as I'm going to be doing business with you." She moved to the rebel, checking the straps holding him into the chair she picked up a injector from a nearby tray and placed it on his arm, injecting a green fluid into his arm. He began to stir and slowly wake. "Not that I mind you knocking him out, it's just far easier when they're awake." She moved around as she placed small devices on the man, taking biometric scans as she did so. "I would have preferred a non-human however there is always next time." She turned to face him, flashing a smile. "So Mr.Theros, we have your fee to discuss. Though before we do." She turned to FourSev. "Major Zorra in the command centre has taken prisoner of several rioters. Go to her and tell her to ship them here, bring them yourself if you have to. Also remind her that while inquisitiveness is an important trait to not dig too deep." 

She pressed several buttons on a separate holopad she had picked up from nearby. "I'm taking your primary weapons offline. If engaged use secondariness. You haven't seen combat for a while so need to go through your paces." She also re-activated his microphone before she merely waved him away.

"So Mr.Theros, how much are your services?"
