First Holocron

FLASHBACK: I have a feeling that this will not go well. The boarding teams that we watched appeared to be professionals and did not hesitate in doing the job. Knowing that I am on a strange ship and not sure of what is where. I determine how to quickly set up a force field that I can activate with one quick slap at the panel closest to the door I will be guarding. It is more of a challenge than normal due to the lack of power, but I find a medical protocol system that has some emergency power reserves and I link it to the panel. If we are in more danger that anticipated now, I can activate it and that will add a LOT of problems for the boarding party - and us, but what else is new.
 
I decide that now is the time to activate the emergency medical protocols and force fields slam down all along the corridor. I see So'Zen pop open a hatch and climb in and then Lady Zaye contacts me to say that Hicks has done something to take out the boarding shuttle, but on his way back to our ship, he is caught by a grappling hook. She could cut the line and rescue Hicks, but all of the troopers around her have stood back up. They should not have been able to . I ask here if she has some type of area effect skill/power/action that would take them back down long enough to let her rescue Hicks. That seems to give her an idea and I hope it works.
 
Lady Zaye pops back in to share that the boarding party is cybernetic and possibly not human. That is an interesting observation. I pull out my datapad and access the ship's library to see if there are any resources that I can access from my force field bubble. I find something interesting. The maintenance droids, there are bigger than mouse droids - cat sized, yellow with 10 across the ship. I run through their functions since there are more than anticipated. They have the ability to do an EM pulse that can deactivate other droids/electronics. Fortunately, three are three close to Lady Zaye. I send them to the back of three of the death troopers and have them shoot off an EM pulse. The feedback from the droids is that the death troopers are extremely complicated, but they are shut down based upon what I can see from the droid's imagery. I contact Lady Zaye to see if that helped and remind her about Hicks.
 
I am still sitting and recovering from that whatever it was attack. I decide the best use of my time would be to check on the sphere in the cargo bay. Maybe it is what turned on the lights? When I check on it with the camera, I see that there are letters and worlds flitting over the surface of the spheres. I do not recognize them so I set them to record for 60 seconds and then I put a translation program to run and see if it can decipher anything. It is picking up a few words here and there and tells me that these are from a language so ancient that it predates all modern languages. It is able to pull a few words: spherion, codex, revenant, webway, cosmic turbine. None of this makes sense, but I do feel that it is trying to communicate something. I take another 60 second recording and have the language program Then the second recording gives more phrases: Spherion Codex, lost Cyngus, Webway gate, First Holocron, Cosmic Turbine, Revenant of Cygnus. Nothing about these phrases gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.
 
From my understanding cygnus generally refers to swans. Revenants are undead creatures. I am distracted by a conversation from the engine room. So'Zen claims this ship is his!! Then he proceeds to try and talk the bad guy to death. Jedi! The other guy ignores him, shoots the hyperdrive, and dives into the maintenance tunnel that So'Zen left open. *sigh* I contact the maintenance droids and send the three closest to the engine room. I have two begin working on the necessary repairs and have the third one to check on the children. They are better off than So'Zen apparently so I have the third maintenance droid pop over to the console that So'Zen is using to tell him he needs emergency medical care. Its next instruction is to get the children to safety. I then start heading for the bridge leaving the force fields down. Remembering that there is still one intruder, I set two droids to trundle through the maintenance tunnels keeping an eye out - one fore, one aft.
 
I get to the bridge in time to see two tie fighters swoop around for another run and I quickly get shields up - just in time for the next shot from the lead tie fighter to bounce off. Then I feel the lurch as a tractor beam attaches with an explosion immediately following. It looks like the boarding shuttle is not a problem. However, I lose sensor data of Lady Zaye and Hicks who are still outside the ship. Just as I am about to figure out what to do to help with that situation, another tractor beam latches on to the ship and begins trying to drag us toward the fleet. Then it gets hit by one of the tie fighters and half of the tug is gone, but the other half is careening towards the Falcon. I flit over to the controls for the starboard laser cannon and fire on the tug. It hits and the tug explodes. One danger down, but the sensors take another hit. I open the comm channel. "Lady Zaye? Hicks?" No response.
 
Then sweet sounds enter my ears as Hicks reports he and Lady Zaye are on board and safe. I suggest that Hicks heads back to take care of the other death troopers while I inform Lady Zaye that her children are safe. She inquires as to where the mane who tried to murder them might be. I let her know of him hiding in the maintenance tunnels and that there are two droids looking for him. Then I am contacted by an unknown ship with coordinates of a safe flight path to get me to the wormhole I can see in the distance. Then Vondromas speaks to me and suggests that we have caused enough trouble and we should get out of here. While I agree, I have to tell him that we must take out the ring first because there are too many people in danger and the potential of galaxy wide destruction is too great. He agrees and we begin discussing the how since we are agreed on the why.
 
Final plan has Hicks flying one shuttle while we set two others on auto pilot to distract the forces. Hick's shuttle will be escorted by Danar in the tie fighter until it is safely past the defenses of the SSD. Then Hicks will set the hyperdrive in motion and abandon ship catching a ride back on the tie fighter to the Starrise Falcon which will be hiding on an asteroid with all power turned off. I keep an eye on what is happening while So'Zen is off being So'Zen. The ring explodes and at the same moment, So'Zen rushes back on the bridge babbling about we have to go now. I see the ring of destruction coming and agree with him. I open a comm channel to the area and suggest that everyone heads for the wormhole. Then Vondromas contacts me to say that the tie fighter is not going to make it and he will try to rescue Danar and Hicks.
 
We are making a beeline for the wormhole. Behind us ships are being caught in the wave and going ghostly. Then we reach the event horizon of the wormhole as the wave is about to catch
