For Caden, everything was loud... then quiet, as his ears rang and he watched his companions' forms cast about by the explosion.
It was only seconds until he found his bearings once more, but it seemed like a lifetime.

He patted himself down; he seemed to be uninjured.
Unpacking a medkit, he ran over to the fallen, hoping to taking care of whomever he could.

At Farok's warning Kaida had gone prone and covered her head. The concussive blast left her largely unscarred save for the pelting of pebbles and small rocks and the incessant ringing she now had in her ears. As soon as it passed, she stood shakily and took stock of the situation. They were at their the most vulnerable now. Stunned and wounded from this blast, if the enemy followed up their booby trap with an assault...

"Defensive positions everyone! And bring me the wounded!" she shouted out orders and then ran to the most wounded Farok first and began doing first aid.

Logar sprinted from his position to where the ruin of the entrance still smoked. He peered through the mess with the enhaned vision of his helmet, his blaster held ready. There were no threats waiting and so he moved inside. He followed down the short tunnel until he came to another door. It, too, was electronic and it was shut.

Farok felt another dose of anesthezine enter his system and he laid his head back and let himself drift. This stuff was better than all the booze he had consumed on Tatooine. It did the trick though. The pain from burns and cuts was immediately subdued and the bacta that was laced in it began its magic of repairing tissue. It would not be the same as being immersedin a bacta-tank, but it helped keep people moving on the field. Boba Fett saw that Kaida was looking at him, only a modicum of interest to his well-being. He waved her off and took care of his own needs.

It was Sam that was faring the worst. He had taken a heavy hit in the previous engagemen and now had been front and center to a large explosion. His new armor plates were dented, bent and even torn in places. The underlying framework and circuitry of his body was also showing severe damage. He would need to shutdown to work on himself but they did not have the time right now. The droid began to run internal status reports and shunted power from less needed systems. He also shutdown unneeded software programming that consumed part of his CPU, which in turn consumed power.

Logar's voice came from the tunnel, "There is another door here... not sure if I want to open it!"

   Is the mechanism at the door more sophisticated than the other, as in can I try to hack into the base's computer systems through this or is it just a electronic lock?

BIT eyed the lightsaber of the Force-users.  "Those," he pointed out, "would probably less lethal than opening the door the old-fashioned way."

It is not linked back to the facility, Matt. Just an electronic keypad lock.

Farok wiped his mouth with the back of his good hand. The cigar that he had managed to make it through most of the engagement with was history.
"Thanks Princess, that one was pretty close."

The one time Jedi got off the ground and looked around, frowning at the damaged droid, "Looks like he is out for a bit."

The one armed man looked around at his companions to see how everyone was looking, the blasted and twisted door was behind him a ways and he smiled at it. "Old Jedi saying, 'When blast and Jedi meet, Jedi duck and use large metal door.' Remember that one Brim its a keeper. So, where is our next disaster?"

Hearing the clones voice from down the hallway and reference to a lightsaber brought him back around.

"Yes, we could try cutting through it. Are there any other openings like a window? I would have preferred guard dogs to guard blasts, but we can give the old light stick saw trick a try."

Logar answered, "There are no windows. Just a big metal door set in the natural stone of the tunnel."

Kaida eyed the new door and then Farok and then back at the door. "You uh... knew didn't you? Somehow, you knew that that first one was rigged? Think you can, you know..." she waved her hand airily, and fixed him with a quizzical look, "...do it again?"

"That'd be handy," Caden agreed. He kept his distance from the door, but he didn't look like he was keeping his distance.

  Jingo I had the image of Captain Jack Sparrow in my head after that post.

Farok shook his head, "I did, but it doesnt work that way. Perhaps we could take the power packs from the web blasters and blast it out ourselves? Cutting through it will take us awhile, but with our Droid friend down I dont think we have any other options."

Farok went to inspect the door to see if he could and how long it would take to cut through it and to see if the force alerted him to any more traps.

Farok felt nothing from the Force while standing in front of the second door. He looked it up and down, while Logar stepped aside. It was like the other door made of steel but camouflaged on the outside to hide its purpose. The fallen jedi was certain his lightsaber would make quick workof the door.

Kaida faced a new problem - her speeder bikes would not fit through the cave. They would have to leave them here and come back to retrieve them, or perhaps Kara could come. Maybe it best that Sam take them back to the ship. The droid was heavily damaged and needed time to repair. Kara was a mech and it would at least put her to use.

"Sam, take these bikes and bug out - get back to the ship," Caden said. "If it gets too hairy, leave 'em. It's you that I need in one piece."
He knew the droid would complain - he had been loyal to Caden for a long time - but suspected that Sam would run the numbers and see that it was the best option.
"I can't keep putting you back together every time." He said the last with a smile, and solidly clapped his friend on the shoulder with a clank. "Be safe."

"Caden..." the droid tried to protest, but he knew the human was right. He was heavily damage and his exitstence was in peril. Droids were faithful due to their programming, but those that attained a level of freedom also attained a level of self-preservation. Sam picked up his hat and adjusted his long duster jacket then nodded. "I will do as you say. Once at the ship, commence a maintenance routine but non-shutdown so I will be available."

He walked over to the first speeder and checked the straps that held them together. Kaida backed away and they all watched as the droid mounted and flew away, back the way they had come.

"Right then, that leaves us." Farok ignited his light saber and stood before the door.

"Let's get going before our commando party gets any smaller. We still have the main course before us."

The unannointed Jedi took up a position of the Makashi style. "Brim; leverage, position, advantage...this is The Way of the Ysalamiri, the Makashi style. The style of choice for duelists and one armed men."

In graceful balanced strokes Farok made short work of the door. Brim was beginning to see that the drunk from Tantoonie actually did possess grace and poise when he wielded his light saber. The group noticed as well that the force user adapted a formal style but personalized it so the sweep and sounds of the light saber had a type of music to them. A subtle elegance that coupled with his bizzare war cries had a strange complimenting and intimidating effect. A sense of rhythmic onslaught and martial music.

"This is where I come in," said BIT.   He shouldered his rifle and pulled out his blaster pistol.  "I'll report for you to advance.  If there are any problems... you'll know it when you hear it."  Activating his sound sponge once again, he warily enters the portal carved out by the lightsaber.
