A'vimala will not need to adjust her aim at all when changing her target from Elettra to Cleite, though whether or not the Tusken is able to follow through with her intention to switch her blaster from stun to kill will depend on how quickly she can react to the fact that Cleite, responding to the doors being kicked open, instantly leaps from the operating table with inhuman grace, precision, and speed to put herself between the doors and Elettra.
The stun bolt intended for Elettra strikes Cleite instead, and as it has no effect on her given it is designed to overload an organic's nervous system, does not even slow the meat droid down as she performs a swift battement dégagé, her right foot sharply brushing across the floor as she initiates a grand jeté, a long forward jump that closes the distance between her and A'vimala, and which ends with the HRD doing a full leg split to kick the Tusken back out through the doors.
Landing in croisé devant, at a forty five degree angle to the bounty hunter, Cleite does not pause in her assault, instead instantly executing a rapid forward traveling fouetté rond de jambe en tournant, a spinning movement with her arms held in second position so that they whip around, her intent to use the ballet movement to bat the blaster from the Tusken's hand so that it is removed from the struggle to come. . .

Paying the price for her failure to factor into her strategy the fact that a HRD can repair any damage it sustains if given time and the opportunity to do so, as well as unprepared for the HRD to prioritize the safety of the samaritan over its own escape, A'vimala is incapable of adjusting her attack plan with those facts factored in when they are learned quickly enough to prevent herself from being kicked back through the operating room doors, or from having her blaster slapped from her hand as Kallas employs what appears to be ballet movements into her vigorous, unrelenting attack.
Using the momentum from the kick that sent her back through the doors, A'vimala staggers backwards several steps before she then slides her right foot around and back to maintain her balance, present a smaller target area to her opponent, and to gain a bit of distance from Kallas. Reaching over her shoulder to pull her Gaderffii free, A'vimala lunges swiftly forward as she frees the Gaderffii in a smooth motion so that it then swings down on a diagonal angle for Kallas's left shoulder, intending to continue the slice from the HRD's left shoulder to its right hip if possible . . .

Analyzing her opponent's movements and selecting the response to the Tusken's actions with the alacrity Cleite possesses by virtue of being a meat droid rather than an organic being, the HRD smiles while performing a les tours chaînés déboulés en arrière, a series of half turns away from her opponent performed by stepping onto one leg and completed by stepping onto the other executed almost too quickly to follow, to evade the Gaderffii strike.
Smiling prettily as she completes the movement in attitude derrière effacé - on her left leg with her right lifted behind her, her right arm held over her head in a curved position while her left is extended to the side - Cleite does not pause more than a single heartbeat before she leaps forward by executing a grand jeté en avant to close the distance between her and her opponent, landing and attempting to sweep the Tusken's feet from beneath her by performing a fouetté en tournant en dehors - a quick turn in which one leg whips around - a ballet movement made as violent as it is graceful when employed in the fashion Cleite intends it to be used.

The Tusken's entrance, and all that follows immediately thereafter, transpiring so swiftly and violently that Elettra can scarcely follow the entire sequence of events that takes the red head and her relentless pursuer from the operating room and back into the area of the vet clinic outside of it, Elettra can only watch, at first, frozen in shock as the tiny red haired woman, despite her injuries, counters the Tusken's assault and then launches one of her own.
Despite her resolution to disengage from the clash she has unwillingly been drawn into, Elettra's nature will not permit her to do so when there is so immediate an opportunity to aid the red haired woman, and so, though her military training seems to have taken place in another life, old instincts kick in and Elettra drops into a crouch as, after taking a deep breath to steel herself, she begins moving to shoulder her way through the operating room doors to enter the fray waiting just outside of them.
Scanning the room quickly, Elettra sees the Tusken and red haired woman's struggle just a moment before she spots the DL-18 blaster pistol laying on the floor. Sprinting for the blaster, Elettra drops to a knee upon reaching it, grabbing it and lifting it to take aim at the Tusken in a single motion. Tracking the Tusken's movements with the blaster, lifting her free hand to adopt a two-handed grip on the weapon, the battle with the red head for the moment preventing Elettra from having a clear shot at the Tusken, Elettra waits for an opportunity to end the threat the Tusken represents. . .

Readjusting her grip on her Gaderffii when Kallas, an infuriating smirk on her face that incites an uncharacteristic wave of bright hot anger in A'vimala, eludes the slashing bladed end of the weapon, A'vimala makes the mistake of allowing her fury to prompt her actions rather than tactics; charging forward towards Kallas while drawing her arm back in preparation of thrusting the bladed end of her Gaderffii towards Kallas' midsection to, if nothing else, at least slow her down or hamper her frustratingly great agility and speed.
As Kallas kicks to sweep A'vimala's feet from beneath her, A'vimala has a brief glimpse of Gatti reaching for the blaster, and counters the sweep by bending her knee to prevent herself from being thrown. As she bends her knee, A'vimala simultaneously steps closer to Kallas to deny Gatti a clear shot in addition to try to prevent Kallas from dancing away, while whipping her arm forward to throw her Gaderffi towards Gatti to try and remove her from the fight; A'vimala knows she will have her work cut out for her with Kallas alone, and knowing from her search of Gatti's apartment that the woman who has unexpectedly become quite a thorn in the side possesses some degree of armed and unarmed combat skills, that should her efforts not soon meet with some success, she might need to consider a tactical withdrawal soon.

Cleite, having noted the initial movement of the Tusken's Gaderffii, and preparing to counter the thrust telegraphed by the movement, is surprised, inasmuch as a meat droid can be surprised, when the thrust never comes as the Tusken throws the weapon instead.
With their legs briefly entangled, and the Tusken's one good arm engaged in the throw, Cleite capitalizes with brutal efficiency on the window of opportunity that has opened, nimbly bending back at the waist as she throws a knife hand strike out for the Tusken's throat; a blow delivered with the strength to not only knock the breath from her opponent, but also has a chance of causing fatal swelling or other structural damage that could constrict the Tusken's throat to one degree or another.

Adjusting her aim continually as the red haired woman and the bounty hunter struggle to gain the upper hand in their fight, Elettra is so focused on trying to find a clear shot at the Tusken that she nearly misses the moment the gaderffi is thrown at her. Throwing herself clumsily to the side to avoid being impaled by the gaderffi, Elettra crashes into a row of mostly empty animal cages, narrowly escaping injury.
The constant barking of the Kusak with the bandaged leg stops when the gaderffi Elettra successfully dodged deeply pierces a spot on the canine's chest between two of its armored plates, a pained yelp escaping its throat before the sound of its frantic scrambling in the cage to try and free itself from the gaderffi begins. Elettra rises into a crouch, almost deafened by the wounded Kusak's cries and the rattling of the gaderffi lodged in its side against the bars of its cage, and lifts the blaster once more to try and find a clear shot at the Tusken.

A'vimala barely manages to dip her head quickly enough that Kallas' strike lands on her helmet rather than her throat, and she lunges immediately forward as the blow lands to wrap her good arm around Kallas waist both to prevent the more agile droid from maneuvering away and to keep it between her and the armed samaritan who managed to dodge the Gaderffi meant to remove her from the equation.
Once she has her arm around Kallas, A'vimala summons all her strength to try and throw herself and the human replica droid into the wall to left, pivoting her torso so that the droid will take the blunt of the impact if her effort is successful. Having spotted a fire extinguisher hanging from the wall near where they will hit if the throw succeeds, A'vimala hopes to use it as a bludgeon to try and incapacitate the droid or at least stagger it long enough to come up with a more certain way of ending their struggle.

Cleite does not so much as blink, her amused half smile not faltering in the least as A'vimala successfully slams her into the wall. Shaking her red hair to remove the chunks of plaster and dust that cling to it after hitting the wall, Cleite continues to smile as she takes advantage of the fact her opponent has only one good arm, making a fist and punching the Tusken's left arm three times in rapid succession.
As she punches the Tusken's arm with one hand, Cleite simultaneously snakes her other hand up to wrap it around the back of her opponent's neck as though they are dance partners rather than combatants, and then uses the strength her synthetic Rybocoarse muscles grant her to, continuing the appearance of dancing, she initiates a turn to spin herself and the Tusken around so that Elettra will have a clear shot at A'vimala's back.

Gritting her teeth to keep from crying out in pain as Kallas punches her injured arm, A'vimala feels lightheaded for a moment, the pain so intense that she is briefly as good as stunned by it. Being whirled about by Kallas does little to help A'vimala regain her sense of equilibrium, and Gatti, along with the blaster she holds, is momentarily forgotten as A'vimala fights to reorient herself and overcome the nauseating waves of pain radiating from her arm.
Lifting her right arm to grip the hand Kallas has wrapped around the back of her neck once both the physical spinning and the accompanying figurative spinning occurring in her head have ended, A'vimala tries to pull the hand away while she jerks her right knee upwards to try and knee Kallas between the legs.

Taking the blaster in a two handed grip to steady her aim, Elettra watches the fighting between the red haired woman and the Tusken for an opportunity to shoot the bounty hunter, choosing to set her borrowed weapon to stun as she reasons that stands a better chance of dropping the Tusken than hoping that a blaster bolt will find an unarmored spot that will do enough injury to the bounty hunter to incapacitate her.
When the red haired woman manages to twirl around with the Tusken, exposing the bounty hunter's back, Elettra centers her aim on the spot between the Tusken's shoulders and fires a stun bolt . . .

As A'vimala is jerking her knee upwards, the stun bolt hits her in the back and appears to have the expected effect, seeing to immediately render her unconscious so that she collapses forward to either be caught by the red head she sought to catch, or to be left to fall to the floor.
Unbeknownst to the red head or her samaritan, beneath A'vimala's robes she wears an armored bodysuit whose mesh underlay partially protects her from the stun bolt's effects. Though the bolt had genuinely caused A'vimala to collapse, the shock delivered to her system still enough to effect a temporary paralysis of her limbs that enabled her to very convincingly fall as though she were indeed unconscious, she does not actually lose consciousness, and merely pretends to be so as she waits for the paralysis to lift, watching her quarry and the samaritan closely as she waits . . .

Cleite, intent on giving Elettra a clear shot at the Tusken's back, locks her arm to prevent it from being pulled away, moving her right leg over her left to block the knee her opponent tries to strike with, all the while smiling placidly at the bounty hunter.
Releasing her grip from the Tusken and swinging her right leg around to step away from her when the stun bolt strikes the bounty hunter in the back, Cleite allows her to fall to floor and, when she has fallen, watches her silently for a moment for any signs of movement before, seeing none, she walks calmly and without expression closer to the Tusken and leans over to wrap one arm around her neck while gripping one side of her helmet with the other, clearly intent on snapping the bounty hunter's neck . . .

The abrupt end of the conflict, when the bounty hunter crumples to the floor after the stun bolt strikes her back, is accompanied for Elettra with a sense of shock; like plunging swiftly into too cold water, and she is as frozen as the Tusken bounty appears to be for a moment as a deafening silence replaces the sounds of the fighting that had filled the air not a moment before.
The first thing that Elettra hears when sound seems to return is the whimpering of the wounded Kusak, and then the soft sounds of the read haired woman's footfalls as she begins walking towards the bounty hunter's prone form. The woman's calm seems odd to Elettra, though it is merely one more oddity added to the many others that Elettra has noted without being time to consider them during the time she has spent with the red head; though Elettra's mind continues to absently provides rational explanations for the strangeness as it has done thusfar, such as the facts that adrenaline might explain how the woman was able to fight the Tusken with such fluid grace despite her injuries, and the past experiences the woman had mentioned in passing when arguing against waiting for law enforcement might explain how she learned to fight so well.
Standing and lifting a hand to try and stop the red head when her intent becomes readily apparent, Elettra says, "Wait, no, don't kill her. Trying to think quickly of an argument that might reach the red head, who does not appear to have the same distaste for killing that Elettra possesses by virtue of her medical background and the moral code her parents instilled in her, Elettra goes on, her words tumbling out as she tries to reach the red haired woman, Look, whoever sent her will probably only be more intent on capturing you, or worse, if you kill her, right? Kill her, and, assuming the bounty on you is a legal one, you will have law enforcement after you as well. Let's just go, Elettra suggests as she continues her impassioned plea, We can restrain her, and then go to the spaceport, get you on a transport offworld, alright? There's no need to kill her."

Arching an eyebrow as she looks towards Elettra, Cleite's expressionless face suddenly adopts an angelic smile as she releases her grip on the Tusken's helmet and neck, standing up and backing away from the bounty hunter as she tells Elettra in an amused tone, "You're quite forgiving, considering she seemed to have no qualms at all about killing you to get to me." Having conceded that Elettra's point about attracting the additional complication of law enforcement pursuing her as well as whomever has sent the Tusken, Cleite glances around the room for anything she will be able to use to bind the Tusken.
Limping towards a rack of leashes, as though her injuries are reasserting themselves now that the fighting has ended, Cleite says, "Get her weapons, and search her for anything else she has on her that would help her track us. Listing a few possibilities as she selects several leashes from the rack, Cleite says, Datapad, scanner, electrobinoculars, that kind of thing."
Returning to the Tusken, watching the bounty hunter all the while for any sign that she is regaining consciousness, Cleite pauses briefly and then begins to bind her wrists and ankles tightly with the leashes.

Given that her helmet is equipped with several systems including scanners and holonet access, carrying handheld sensors, datapads, or scanners would be redundant, and so all that Elettra will find in her search of A'vimala's person will be the spare ammunition or clips for her rifle and blaster, a grapple line, and a vibroblade.
Allowing herself to be bound, continuing to play possum as she knows that any effort to resist will likely result in her death at Kallas' hands, A'vimala seethes silently as she waits for Kallas and Gatti to depart. Gatti's mercy is misguided, though A'vimala supposes that she should be grateful for it, and will ultimately only delay the inevitable. Kallas may be able to escape from Dressel, but no matter how far the replicant runs, A'vimala will follow and see that it is delivered, not into the custody of law enforcement as the lawful bounty on Kallas requires, but to the Hutt that has hired her to see that Kallas pays for whatever insult or injury the smuggling crew she had once been a part of did to the Hutt.
Dressel is not the first world to which A'vimala has tracked Kallas, but it is, she vows, going to prove to be, if not where, very near to where the hunt finally ends.

Scarcely noting Cleite's amused quip regarding how forgiving letting the Tusken bounty hunter might be, Elettra simply nods and then moves cautiously towards the bounty hunter, still too keyed up to give anything other than the present moment much attention or scrutiny as she quickly searches the Tusken for any weapons or equipment that she can remove in hopes of hindering her efforts to pursue them when she regains consciousness and frees herself from her binds.
Sliding the knife, power cells, ammunition clips and other equipment that she finds in her hasty search of the bounty hunter's still form across the floor towards Cleite, Elettra stands up and asks, "Ready? Before Cleite can reply, however, the caged, wounded Kusak whines and draws her attention. Frowning, torn between her ingrained drive to help any creature in pain and the all but imperative, primal need to flee from the danger that the Tusken, even unconscious and bound, represents, Elettra holds up a hand and moans, I can't leave it like this," as she begins approaching the Kusak's cage, glancing around for what she will need to dress its wounds.
The gaderffi is still piercing into the Kusak's chest, wedged between two if its armored plates, but judging from the amount of blood that she can see as she pulls on a pair of surgical gloves and begins assessing the best way to remove the weapon without causing further injury, Elettra does not believe that the wound is a terribly deep one.

"Oh, of course you can't," Cleite says, adding a sigh equal parts bemused and bewildered as it seems to her that a humanoid would express both sentiments in the present situation.
Leaning down to pick up the Tusken's vibroblade as Elettra tends to the Kusak, Cleite keeps a wary watch over the prone form of the bounty hunter as she tests the weight and balance of the blade. She would prefer the blaster currently in Elettra's possession to the blade, but Cleite is as adept with edged weapons as with blasters, and therefore sees no need to alter the current state of affairs at the moment.
Not wanting to linger longer than necessary, calculating that the bounty hunter is not likely to remain unconscious for long, Cleite suggests in a tone she determines is haggard and worried enough for one in her position and state of injury, "Why don't we bring the beast with us? You can tend to its injuries as we head to the spaceport, no? The sooner we're underway, the better our chances of leaving no trail for the Tusken to follow."

More focused on how best to remove the gaderff from the Kusak's chest than listening to Cleite for the moment, Elettra misses the sarcastic remark that precedes the more helpful suggestion that they bring the Kusak with them, which she hears due to the fact that, having determined that removing the gaderffi poses no threat of causing more harm due to the limited depth of the wound and position of the weapons blades in relation to the Kusak's internal organs, she is no longer so preoccupied with her assessment that everything else becomes so much meaningless background noise.
Soothing the Kusak as best she can as she steadies the gaderffi and prepares to remove it, Elettra says distractedly, "Alright. If he doesn't look as though he's intent on killing me once I pull this out, we'll see if he'll follow us. Nodding towards the bandages, disinfectant solution, and packing material she had found and set aside when looking for what she would need to dress the Kusak's wound, Elettra says, Bring that, and I'll try to bring our new friend here, if he'll let me."
Moments later, the Kusak trotting beside her after licking her hands and face rather than trying to bite or scratch once the gaderffi had been pulled free, Elettra follows Cleite out to her airspeeder, pointing for Cleite to drive so that she can dress the Kusak's wound as they make their way to the spaceport. Glancing back nervously towards the clinic's rear door as though expecting the Tusken to burst through it, Elettra shakes her head and sets what she hopes is only an irrational fear aside, opening the bottle of disinfectant and beginning to tend to the Kusak as they get underway.

Limping and adopting a pained expression to approximate the effects a humanoid would experience were they as injured as Cleite would be were she a humanoid, the meat droid gathers the equipment procured in the search of the Tusken and the medical supplies Elettra indicates she will need to look after the beast that, it is soon apparent, will indeed permit Elettra to lead it to the speeder outside, and follows the unlikely pair of companions she would seem to have collected, if only temporarily, outside of the clinic. Pausing to fire several shots from the bounty hunter's blaster into the engine of the Tusken's swoop bike so that she has no transportation immediately available to her should she succeed in loosing herself from her bonds in time for it to matter that she has transport readily available, Cleite then waits for Elettra and her new friend to get into the speeder before getting into the pilot's seat herself.
Adjusting her biorhythms so that her complexion becomes a wan, pale and sweaty one befitting an injured humanoid, Cleite takes the speeder up once Elettra and the Kusak are inside, keeping the craft at the legal speed limit and obeying all traffic laws to minimize the chances of attracting the attention of any law enforcement agents that may be out and about as she begins the journey to the spaceport.
