K10 receives clear input from Bibingui and carefully retrieves the (proto) lightsaber from PURR1T0's carcass. K10 isn’t sure whether their fellow droid is alright, but it at least lies in one piece, albeit flashing and making unintelligible sounds. Between the time K10 fetched the lightsaber and got into the shuttle, Jojo looked for ways to free Bibingui ASAP, this is when you also spotted three speeders approaching and their tripulants.

K10 moves into the shuttle unnoticed, the KX-series confirm the presence of enemies in the vicinity and get off their rides. You hear them mutter, and you listen to their feet hitting the floor with a distinguishable "muffled clank" that conveys their intent and their capacity for destruction & punishment.

A shiver goes down Bibingui’s spine as heat and tension build up. K10 evaluates their options, perhaps they should split Bibingui in two and slap some BACTA on the wound? It certainly seemed a likely solution.

“Let’s do it”, read the droid’s intention, but when K10 was about the begin, Jojo suggested cutting Bibingui’s seat from the back, where armor was negligible. And thus, they cut the thinner layer of metal holding Bibingui’s seat on the shuttle, eventually pulling her out of predicaments… Meanwhile, Vanta takes point.

The smoke coming from the shuttle and the speeder conceal you, but not for long. The KX-series start moving towards your position, 2 are approaching the shuttle’s door, the third one takes the other side (i.e., driver’s window).

K10, their SOS distress signal is still playing.

COMBAT STARTS, ACTION!

Think of the shuttle as if it was a bus. It has a door on each of its ends, looking forward from the driver’s seat, the doors are on the right side of the shuttle (it’s about 15 yards long, SM 5). If enemy droids decide to enter, it’d be one at a time. Despite of their size, their skills won’t be impeded inside of the shuttle. Remember, guys inside the shuttle are effectively surrounded. Everybody realize their gear is at least as good as K10’s or Vanta.

PUZZLE: All of you are inside the shuttle; the seats are parallel to the walls, so there’s no cover. There’s enough room for dodge and drop, and little room for retreat dodge. Without shedding blood and oil, it may take 3 turns to get away from them, can you make it? The captured droid lies by the door on the back, be careful no to trip.

Bibingui, your weapons are the proto lightsaber and your mono-wire-whip, no guns right now.

TURN 1
The droids start approaching the shuttle, two are by the door’s threshold.
