Half the winged Yeti, led by Corbin, start tossing heavy objects at the Alliance troops. Howling their battle cries, Assan and a companion charge the Alliance, flying in from the right and Hewitt and a companion charge them, flying in from the left. They are attempting to stay out of the line of fire of the Sereni-Tree crew.
Nugget the Meteor Troll sadly missed the signal, and is too heavy to get off the ground anyway. He stands in place and howls his frustration.
Trey pops up from behind her bar and lays down suppression fire.
The Ebo Golum, acting on its last orders, continues trying to push furniture into the breach.

SR waits for the first trooper to make a serious incursion onto the common room floor before shooting him square in the chest. The slug rounds carry enough force that they need not penetrate armor. Their shear inertia will render internal organs into jelly.

Trey is using her bar for hard cover. She curses as a hail of bullets mars its once beautiful surface and smashes the bottles of booze behind her. Then she feels a sharp pain and feels blood trickling down her back. She looks up.
"Gorramit!"
While Trey had been keeping herself mostly behind cover, she failed to account for her wings, which just got riddled. She falls behind the bar, in shock.

Alliance Lieutenant Mullins curses as Trey goes down. "I said, don't hurt the winged females!"
"But sir, they ALL have wings!"
Mullins points at the approaching Ebo Golem. "That one doesn't!" The Ebo Golem sustains a great deal of punishment, bullets chipping away at its rocky surface, as it continues to push furniture. Finally, a rocket strike blows off the Ebo Golem's right side and it falls over.
"That's more like it!" Mullins calls. "If all the females here have wings, then we'll capture them all! But for now, concentrate fire on those furry monsters, and somebody take out that sniper up on the..."
At that moment, ScorpionRegent shoots Mullins, and he falls over unmoving. The Alliance troops pour their fire into the Yeti, taking down a few, and up at SR, causing him to duck for a moment.

The Sereni-Tree common room:
When his commander falls, Sergeant Chin takes command of the platoon, and pushes into the common room, taking cover behind the busted and broken furniture. The Yetis Assan and Hewitt retreat, each leaving a companion behind.
Chin calls out loudly, "Second Platoon, attack!"
More Alliance troops come pouring into the common room.

*Trying best he can to follow Jet's instructions.*
"Okay. Now, cozen, route the starboard injectors' auxiliary cable to Panel D, port 3A12. Careful! Don't...."
*The live end of the starboard injectors' auxiliary cable contacts "ground".*
*Throughout the Sereni-Tree, all electrical systems fail simultaneously. The engines cut out instantaneously, life support systems shut down. Oh: and all the lights go out. All of them.*
*The resultant shock sends cozen hurtling against a bulkhead. He slams hard against the wall, twitching and moaning through spittled lips.*
Ow.
This. This... this is much worse than any hangover. Just sayin'.
*Jet ignites a butane flicker, kicks the spasming cozen.*
"You realise, don't you, that repairing the damage you've done is going to take... a while?"
*He summons the will to speak through jolting vocal cords.*
Yeah. Huh. Best get to it, right? Before all the ice cream melts.
*cozen passes out, still twitching.*

It's truly black, out in the Black.

In the Sereni-Tree common room:
The lights go out, plunging the room into total darkness. Alliance Sergeant Chin calls out, "Activate infrared!" A hundred clicks sound throughout the room, and the Alliance troops resume shooting at the blinded Sereni-Tree crew.

In the Sereni-Tree Engine room:
Jet makes sure that Cozen will live, then she kicks him again and gets back to work. Luckily, the swarm of robotic DRDs she has working with her all operate on battery power. She starts issuing them orders.

*Moaning in his comatose state.*
No buddy knows
The Sereni-Tree knolls
Likes we knows

**Back in the turrets, jake7 is frantically trying to figure out how best to help her friends. Suddenly, everything goes dark.**
GORRAMIT! What in the sphincter of Hell happened now?!?!
**she calls over to Jazaf and Duece**
You two all right over there? We need to get out of here and help the others.
**she grabs her remote from her pocket and notices a glowing yellow button that has the icon of an eye on it.**
Huh. Never noticed *that* button before!
**she presses the button and suddenly an eerie greenish glow shines around her. She can see the room as if it were lit up. She makes her way out of the turret and turns to Jazaf. She can see he's feeling around, trying to get himself out of the turret.**
Jazaf! Duece! Follow me!
Jazaf: Follow you? I can't even SEE you!
You can't? I can see you clearly! Duece, what about you?
Duece: I can't see you either! How can *you* see?
I pressed a button on the remote and I can see like I have night vision goggles on!
**jake7 gets an idea. She presses the purple force field button. Now, not only does she have night vision, but she can see her force field surrounding her.**
Why didn't I think of this before?? I can use these buttons in conjunction with each other!
Jazaf, Duece, find your way to safety. I think I might be able to help out the others.
**jake7 slowly makes her way to the Common Room. She gets to the balcony and looks down, seeing the confusion and mayhem going on. She also notices that the Alliance troops are wearing night vision goggles and can easily see her friends. She ducks back out of sight to figure out how best to the remote functions she is familiar with.**

MAL: Everybody's makin' a fuss.
