OOC: If there is no such thing as coincidences then god is about to play quite the prank on you. The poetry reference is for your benefit Edgar.
In the hall of Idina's boarding house, two men carrying a cardboard box filled with glass jars quietly creeped down the skinny hallway to the door across from Idina's room. One of them wore a gas mask while the other simply had a scarf wrapped around his mouth and nose.
The bottles clanked together dully as they were held by scarfhead. "Are you sure this is safe?" Scarfhead asked.
Gasmask turned his head to look over his shoulder as he knocked on the door 4 times. "I told you Daken, it's perfectly safe. it's only dangerous after they're mixed... i think."
"great" Scarfhead said with sarcasm dripping from his sarcasm. "Just open the door you big dummy, this box is heavy."
Gasmask shook his head and rolled his eyes under his mask as the knock was returned from the other side of the door 4 times. Gasmask leaned in real close and said. "Do not go gentle into that good night."
The door was opened from the inside by a third person and let the first two in. He looked down the hallway both ways, making sure it was clear, before closing the door and locking it.

(That's not coincidence...it didn't "coincide" with anything. It kinda just happened, haha. I'm afraid your words have forked no lightning friend. )

(Really, alright, well...we'll see how I can work this in.)
::Daken heard a clanking outside of the door. He moved to it and heard a knocking across the hall. Curious, but ever cautious, Daken cracked the door in time to hear the part about the chemicals, and then his name. He heard the password, and watched as the men walked into the room. Something illegal and dangerous was going on across the hall. He turned to Akira, extending a hand in the 'hold on' gesture. He slipped through the door and looked down the hallway, making sure nobody was around. Most people were at work during this time of day. Daken grasped his saber from his belt knocked on the door. 4 knocks.::

The three men inside the apartment across the hall were startled by the knock. The three of them moved towards the door in unison until they were just a few feet away. "Are you expecting somebody?" Gasmasked asked.
"No" Scarfhead and the other guy said in unison.
Scarfhead reached out and returned the knock 4 times. Gasmask slapped him upside the head. "whadda doing stupid?"
"hey, if he knows the code, maybe he's from another cell." Scarfhead said.
Gasmask sighed, the sound of his breath muffled by the mask on his face. "Your an idiot."
"Shut up, both of you." The other guy injected. "Daken, get a rifle from the closet, we might need it."

::Daken heard his name again amid the hushed tones on the other side. He spoke the pass code.:: "Do not go gentle into that good night..." ::He stood to the left side of the door and waited. He held his saber in his right hand. Now he was sure that something off-color was going on within. The men had not answered, but had moved to the door. He guessed that there were three of them from the sound of their footsteps. One had moved away, so Daken was prepared for his foes to be spread out.::

I'm not staying out of this one.
Akira stood up, walked out the door, and stood off to Daken's right. Yumi did the same, but changed so that she looked like a large, burly man. It was weird to see her droid do this.
Now they just waited. Yumi walked behind everyone, looking through the door. [/sub]

The other guy reached in slowly and let his hand hover over the door panel. He waited until Scarfhead was in position with a blaster rifle before typing in the key code which opened the door.
Gasmask's hand went behind his back where it wrapped itself around the top of a light weight aluminum desk chair.
Scarfhead propped the rifle up on the edge of the couch and knelt behind it for cover.
The other guy flinched his hands into a fist and got ready to fight.

::Hearing the mechanism of the door unlock, Daken rushed in. He kept his lightsaber close to his body as his master had tought him, and shouldered the door out of the way. He pushed the first man away from him with a powerful blow to the chest, powered by the force, using his perceptions to analyze the situation in the room. He did not activate his lightsaber, as he realized that there was only one blaster in the room, and hopefully he would be able to handle it without overt violence or exposing himself.:: "I know what's going on here...desist..."

Akira only poked her head through the doorway after Daken busted in, and used the force to quickly probe the people's minds, only to realize that they weren't with the republic. Their external view was enough for her. She used the force to pick the blaster from the man with the scarf around his face, and held it to the wall. At the same time, she held everyone else apart through the force.
Stop. Daken, put your arm down. Now, I can feel that you are not with the Republic, and the same goes for us. What are you doing with the ingredient for the bombs? [/color] Yumi was back to her human female self, and fluttered to the box, looking at everything. To these men, she would just be a cute, curious girl.[/center][/sub]

The other guy was thrown away by the forced push and landed on his rear. Pain radiated up from his ass bone as he hit the ground.
Gasmask was ready though and swung with all his might. The aluminum desk chair whistled through the air towards Idina.
Scarfhead on the other hand pulled the trigger firing on the rifle firing a shot but the bolt went wide as the force tugged at the barrel. Scarfhead held on tight to the rifle though and three more shots rang out, striking against the ceiling and walls as he struggled to hold onto the weapon.
The other guy rolled over to the table with the chemicals on it and sat up next to it, putting his back against one of the legs. "is this lady serious? You feel we're not with the republic? What was your first clue? That we're making bombs out of household chemicals or that we're doing it in a boarding house in the undercity. Get a clue honey."

::Daken used his honed reflexes to catch the chair as it flew towards him. As it made impact, he diverted the force towards his chest, taking a step backwards to even further dissipate the energy transferred by the attack. He then dropped the chair to the ground, quickly hiding his saber in his robes while it was still hidden by the chair.:: "Bombs? I can't allow you to blow anything up."

Cool it, Daken. If its against the republic, I'm all for it. In fact, I wouldn't mind if I joined up with these rebels.
Akira slipped the power pack out out of the blaster and released her hold on it. She used the force to bring a chair over to her, and she sat down, thinking.
First of all, you could be republic double agents with these rebels, and you don't seem like the gang type. If I am correct, you are working for the Army of Light, Right? [/sub]
