The situation quickly devolved into nothing short of chaos. With the layout of this place and how everyone encircled the atrium, the old woman had nearly hit another group of “patrons” on the opposite side. Droids coming up through the center would not be able to take cover from all sides at once, but Senjen made a mental note to take care where he positioned himself, and to keep in mind the backdrop if he ended up shooting anywhere. 

Senjen dropped down to all-fours to make himself a smaller, quicker target as he scurried along the floor. He moved to his right, around to the opposite side of light around one of the tables to take an angle on the droids that was closer to perpendicular to that of the old woman. He drew his pistol and took aim. If one of the droids floated up over the edge into view, he would have not hesitate, and he would have a flanking position to help her, but he wanted to prepare any way he could before trying anything aggressive. He guessed that these would be the same sort of droid that he had encountered back in the QV’s shop, so he took an image of that droid and tried to search for the model. Anything he could learn about it would be helpful. 

Next, Senjen messaged Light. “Get down and get into cover. Can you sync up with me and give me access to your perspective? Visual, audio, anything you can share.” It had been helpful back in the shop to have access to the QV girl’s perspective, but the fact that she could not see too sharply had been limiting. That, of course, was why Senjen now had installed a software package to translate data from a QV’s echolocation sensors into a usable format.
