Your shuttle settles into the barren service yard beneath a red, dust-choked sky. Freed workers cluster around silent loaders while Imperial engines growl somewhere above.
Namine
I overrode the labor systems because waiting for permission was inefficient. The resulting transport problem is, regrettably, mine.
The prisoners stare toward the sealed launch corridor. Beyond it, the camp's only usable route remains locked behind a command barrier, its warning lights pulsing through the dust.
The Freed Workers
Open the path! We cannot outrun a patrol on foot!
A formation of Imperial dropships breaks through the cloud cover, black hulls descending toward the camp. The workers fall quiet, watching the sky and the sealed corridor.
Namine
Their arrival window is shorter than projected. True Dave, the next path must be opened now.
Dust lashes your coat as emergency beacons awaken along the barrier. The freed workers gather behind you, leaving the decision and the dangerous route ahead in your hands.

“I slice a path open with my light sabers.”
SUCCESS (Legendary Melee combat, rolled +2)
You draw both light sabers. Their bright blades carve through the command barrier in a controlled crosscut, severing the locking rails and splitting the sealed corridor open.
The barrier folds inward with a shower of harmless sparks. Emergency lights turn green, revealing a service route leading beneath the camp toward the launch corridor.
Namine
The route is open. I am updating the evacuation path now, and this time the calculation favors movement.
The Freed Workers
Move! Keep together and do not stop in the corridor!
The freed workers surge through the opening, boots striking metal as the descending dropships spread across the red sky behind them.
Namine
True Dave, proceed to the launch corridor. I will guide them through the safest available access points.
Green route markers ripple across the floor ahead. The corridor stands open, and the workers disappear into its sheltering depths while Imperial patrols descend outside.
