Wham
The jolt that Zekk received through the Force felt something like being slammed into a ferrocrete wall. He had just been sitting aboard his ship, meditating when the unpleasant ripple knocked him to the ground. It took him a few moments to stabilize himself and his thoughts.
After about 5 minutes, he stood up and walked down to the recently repaired refresher system to get some water into his system.
It's really none of my business, he thought. People die all the time.
However, the conscious side of his mind insisted that he check out the blast of death that the Force had sent him and ultimately, that side won.
Quickly, he put on his armor, gloves, boots, and other equipment and went to the pilots seat.
"Computer, search for all life signatures within a 20 K radius." Zekk told the ship's computer. It was a long shot that he would locate Kima; there would probably way too many life signatures for him to differentiate between anyway but his gut instinct told him to do it.
His gut instinct was right.
About 5 K's away was a large mass object with Kima's solitary life signature on it. Zekk guessed there were more before but that jolt he'd received through the Force told him they were now dead.
Probably murdered by Kima, he thought as he reset the ships auto navigator to Kima's location.

The hangar bays, all them were empty. The escape pods Kima had hoped for were non-existent, she realized. Whoever had abandoned the Super Star Destroyer in the first place had probably used them all as means for escape.
This can't be happening, she thought. Now what was she supposed to do?
***
The instant Zekk saw the Super Star Destroyer, his gut clenched in fear. He'd had way too many bad experiences in his life with all types of Imperial ships not to jump every time he saw one. If Kima had gotten control of a Super Star Destroyer, he was in trouble.
But wait a minute. The Force wasn't telling him of any operational weapons on the monstrosity and as he thought about it, he realized that there was no way Kima could man an entire SSD all by herself. This SSD must have already been abandoned and Kima must have just been chased into the sector and forced onto it as a place to hide.
More confidently now, Zekk slowly landed the Lightning Rod on the huge warship and got out careful to make a telekinetic bubble of warmth and oxygen around himself so he would not freeze or suffocate once he entered the harsh vacuum of space.
He floated around a little bit before once again using the Force to attach himself to the exterior of the SSD. He took out his lightsaber and flicked it on, getting a good grip before carving a large circle out of the hull.
Once he had gone completely around, he stepped back; just in time too as section he'd cut out flew up at breakneck speed into the void of space.
Whooooooossssshhhh.
Concentrating, Zekk slowly inched forward against the force of the air being sucked out of the ship. It took a while but once he was inside, he made a telekinetic seal around the breach he'd created.
Zekk was in an engine room that thankfully had an airtight seal for a door.
Once he'd gone out and onto the main deck, he released the Force buuble he'd cocooned himself in.
20 minutes, he thought. 20 minutes is all it should take to find Kima.
