Chapter 1C: The Droid Defector
Still undecided on the most prudent course of action, Janos moves to sneak his way over to the crates with the ion grenades, his intend to pop open one of the crates and perhaps purloin a small handful of the weapons...or use them on the spot.

Chapter 1C: The Droid Defector
The humanoids are absorbed in their chance cubes and the one assigned to refuel the shuttle has walked away, letting the fueling cease when the tank's capacity is full.
On the opposite side of the hanger, another shuttle's exterior extinguisher system explodes sending a burst of liquefied, compressed gas. The sudden release of gas sends the two maintenance droids attending to the ship flying across the hanger bay crashing into containers. As the containers tumble down, the Tactical droid becomes alerted and rushes over to see what happened. Meanwhile, the humanoids playing chance cubes laugh at the droids' problems and continue back with their game. The droid phalanx is temporarily distracted.
As Janos moves forward, he feels an unsettling, dreadful, and overwhelming feeling of loss. He doesn't know the source of the feeling. While the bond between a padawan and master is strong, he feels his connection to Jedi Master Rhan Vel Aath is weak and dissipating. A few moments later, he feels his padawan-master Force connection has been severed.

Chapter 1C: The Droid Defector
There is no emotion; there is peace.
Janos steadies himself against the assault upon his senses, knowing in his heart that his master may have suddenly become one with the Force. But the Jedi knows that he has a job to do, and any mourning would have to wait. Janos clips as many of the EMP grenades as he can onto his belt and one in each hand. Moving to a suitable location, he primes one and sends it rolling along the ground in the direction of the cluster of battle droids...

Janos rolls a ion grenade towards the droid phalanx. His contact, bound by simple binding restraints, feels a tap on his boots and looks down to see the grenade. "Oh my," he says as the ion grenade explodes.
The four B1 Battle Droids surrounding him collapse to the ground disabled by the ion blast radius. "That was impressive!" One of the rear guard B1 Battle Droid says as the droid turns to look for who threw the grenade.
"I believe this is when I make my exit." The weequay says as he darts off and dives behind a stack of metal containers a short distance away.
The T-Series Tactical Droid momentarily distracted by the initial hanger incident turns when it hears the grenade explosion. "Engaged defensive maneuvers!" The droid shouts to the remaining B1 Battle Droids.

"Not without talking to me!" Janos shouts to the Weequay. "Stay down." Janos pauses to aim the next ion grenade carefully, hoping to just catch the last two battle droids and perhaps leave the medical droid unharmed. He would rather not have to carry it.

Chapter 1C: The Droid Defector
Janos wasn't really that used to utilizing grenades, but he had now decided that they were a more-than-satisfactory way of dispatching battle droids. Clipping one more from his belt, he aimed again for the remaining droid, destroying it in the final ion blast.
Janos moves swiftly, ignoring, for a moment, the tactical droid and heading to where the Weequay is. In a hushed voice, he speaks, "My name is Janos Tyree. I believe you're the contact I was sent here to meet. I'm rescuing you and that droid." The Jedi quickly flashes his lightsaber. "Shall we take your ship?"

The weequay looks very, very disappointed. "I was expecting someone else. I'm afraid my ship is on lockdown, so unless you can cut off the locks with that laser-sword, this is a poorly planned rescue."
Nearby, the T-Series Tactical Droid sends a request to the station's garrison to send more battle droids to the hanger bay. Shouting from its position, "Hold there. You are hearby under arrest by the Confederacy of Independent Systems Order X5.439.34B."

"The frequency is associated with Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, if that's who you were expecting, but he's busy. So you got me," Janos explains quickly, starting to feel irritated. "Fine, we'll take this ship. Hurry up and get that medical droid on board. I'll cover you."

The weequay frowns, "And how do you suppose I can do that with this?" He says as he raises his hands to show the binders. "And my cargo? You'll need to pay for using my grenades."
As the weequay complains, Janos' Jedi beacon transceiver light flashes red. To hear or see the message, Janos needs to activate the transceiver and receive the broadcast. It has highly irregular for the transceiver to be used by the Jedi Temple and it was only to be used in dire circumstances.
