The apprentice shrugs, then nods. "I'm going to be making a lot of this up on the fly. Hopefully some additional information will tie up the loose ends. Let's get this done quickly."
Joro turned back to the doorway and waited. He still looked antsy: small trembles impossible to hide. Moments later the lights kicked back into regular mode and electronic 'whirrrrrrrrrs' filled the air. The sealing mechanisms and industrial strength locks shifted, retracting in short order with heavy hisses and clunks. The outside world lay on the other side, the world they were now fighting to save. Joro took a deep breath and grabbed the handle, stepping into the eternal twilight of the cityscape beyond.
Later...
"Sewers like this are such a maze," the bothan grunted as they began to back track to the surface, "Are you sure you'll be able to handle yourselves down here? I knew places to lay low back before my training began, but none of those places were the sewer systems...There are scaly things down here."
The trek back took little time but it felt like the tunnels stretched for miles in every direction. Joro looked increasingly nervous but, to his credit, he kept his thoughts and feelings to himself. It would do little good to panic now when the team needed him most. He shushed the "little beast" -as master Boshar called it- constantly and forced himself to walk the path back to the the twilight ahead of the group, hooded head low and silent. Finally, they made it back topside.
Joro turned to the team members that had followed him and nodded, unfolding his arms from the warn jedi clothes of the sith ship. One hand raised, he waited for the one holding the key to pass it along. "Don't worry," he told the scientist as the modifications to the root access system were finalized, "as long as they place this into the system and you have that secondary key in your hands...the force will guide us to victory."
The scientist, who'd worked diligently as they marched through the sewers, hesitated now that the full weight of what they were about to do descended on him. He hesitated in handing over the key, leading to long, awkward pause. For a moment Joro believed he was going to refuse...but another moment later, the altered key was placed into his outstretched hand.
