Snap!

Mira frowned at Ripper. "I can handle myself, big boy. You think you're the first man to consider himself a danger around me?"

Something about Mira's words made that last bit of control snap and Ripper was upon her faster than he could even comprehend himself. Quickly wrapping his metal hand around her neck, he slammed her into the hallway wall and growled loudly into her face. His free hand snatched away the lightsaber and activated it as a knee worked her legs apart, a measurement he'd learned to keep Ghost from kicking him years ago.

"Big words for a girl who just got it stolen from her." He snarled, voice sounded too mechanical, right eye glowing so brightly it was visible through his hair. "Do I need to demonstrate how this big boy deals with brats like you?" Raising the lightsaber, he put it close to Mira's face, but never touched her. It was almost as if he were fighting himself to harm her.

Mar got up and went to the two girls, offering his help to them. "You alright, Ghost?"

Dropping her arms, Ghost could only offer Mar a glance and whispered another, "I'm sorry" to Serenity. Exhaustion was taking over as her ears fell down completely and she held onto the teen padawan tightly, practically curling around her in a motherly nature. Closing her eyes, she fell unconscious while still mumbling those words over and over again.

VT-L2 had made his way to the robots lab and was tossing things all over the place. "New arm! New arm! Need new arm like mine!" He was squealing and made a poor dead droid fall apart, pieces rolling all over the room. "Oops!"

A hand was suddenly offering him the object he needed and the little droid looked up, not recognizing the man. "Here," He chuckled in a familiar voice, but VT-L2 was too happy about the new limb to care. He did not recognize the face, anyway.

In fact, the droid was hoping Quint or someone else would show up soon since he had left a trail of salad in his wake.
