No way out

Guardian droids have been used by Jedi in the older times, to protect their sacred, but mostly uninhabited places from intruders.

Guardian droids: Cease all hostilities and surrender!

Lana: The guardian droids, great! Look what you have done! You have activated the security system!

Aurra: If you had only just died from my first shot, this might not have happened! Anyway, I'm out of here, I don't feel like fighting an army of Jedi droids today!

She puts her rifle on her back, slides down on the ice from the balcony and tries to make an escape through the main door, but it bashes before she could get out. Now you are stuck inside with the many dozens of droids charging at you both with their training swords.

Aurra (looking at the impenetrable door): Wonderful...! They aren't paying me enough for this...!

You begin shooting at the droids, most of your shots are deflected by them, but some of them go down. Yet, there are a lot and you can't take them down as wast as they are moving towards you.

Lana (turning to Aurra): Hey, mind lending me a hand over here? We are in this together, you know!

Aurra (turning from the door and aiming at you): Nah, I won't be fighting alongside a Jedi again! Better take you out while you are preoccupied and deal with the droids later!

She draws her pistols and attempts to shoot you in the back, but you jump out of the way of her shots in time. You return fire to her and she runs behind a pillar, just as you did, but while you were paying attention to her, the droids have almost gotten to you. You fly to the balcony with your jetpack to get some distance from the guardians and be out or Aurra's angle of possible shooting. Since you were out of reach for the droids at the moment, they attacked her instead. She was taking down a few of them, but her resistance was obviously futile. Finally, she put her pistols away.

Aurra (drawing a lightsaber): Okay, I've had enough! Playtime is over!

She activates a short bladed lightsaber, which is glowing in a red light. Though heavily outnumbered, she charges the droids and engages is a lightsaber fight with them.

Lana: Wow, even she has a lightsaber, but not me, apparently! That's so unfair! Life sucks without a lightsaber! Anyway, I better keep searching for a way out of here, while she keeps the droids company.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any. You fly around the whole hall, but the only way out was the main door, which it stuck, no matter how hard you try to open it with the ****. The only exit from the room is back into the caves, but that's a dead end, or a deadly labyrinth at best. With no other options available, you decide to escape into the caves. Before flying in there, you look back at Aurra, she is completely surrounded by the droids, yet she keeps cutting them down one-by-one, but such a fight cannot be sustained for long. Are you going to go back and help her or leave her to her fate? She notices you are looking at her, but aren't really helping.

Aurra (while fighting the droids): Hey! Don't you dare to leave me here like this, or I'll feed your children to a Rancor!

Lana (facepalming): Jedi aren't allowed to have children... Obviously, you dropped out of the order very, very soon...!

Aurra (while fighting the droids): Shut it...! Then your friends, or whoever is dear to you!

Lana: You are insufferable, for real...

In a moment of weakness, one of the droids strikes her lightsaber's hilt with a training sword, cutting it in half and making it useless. Without a proper weapon to counter the droids, sends out a minor shock wave around herself with one of her tools, but that could only create a small space around her by pushing the droids back a bit. This might be her last chance to be saved, she is panicking, looking at all directions to find a way out of the situation, but there are none. Only you could save her from certain doom.

Are you going to help her or save your own skin?
