Aria was hell bent on her target. In that moment of pure rage her vision tunneled and closed to include nothing but the man she was running towards. Since the Jedi happened to have blaster - how many gadgets did this guy have? - and was aiming to shoot it at her, this would normally have been an unfortunate time to not be thinking clearly. However, in this moment it saved her life.
So focused on the Jedi was she that she did not see the other Sith at the end of the hallway, nor did she see the woman who had entered the fray, but she didn't see the dead bodies of the guards she had killed earlier either. She tripped over one man's ankle at the same instant the man on the ground fired his blaster at her. He'd been aiming at her midsection, so when she fell to the ground the bolts went right over her.
Falling was another thing that would normally be bad but in this instance was fortuitous. Her vision ripped from the center of her burning rage, her assault interrupted by the fall, Aria's mind cleared somewhat and she was able to think. The woman's voice that had spoken a moment ago registered and Aria knew there was now another adversary to deal with. Luckily, Hausser was at that end of the hall, he would have to deal with the new threat. Aria had her own problems. All these thoughts and more flew through her mind in an instant.
An alarm began as she jumped to her feet. "All docking bays locked down. Repeat. All docking bays locked down." Red emergency lights began flashing and the booming alarm continued repeating. Aria smiled. Her commands had indeed gotten through the computer systems. Their mission was completed. All that was left was to get away and return to Ziost.
The same instant she smiled because of the alarm, she took the few remaining steps she needed to get to the Jedi. The rage was still present, but her mind was clear now. She hadn't let go of her claws when she fell and used them now with ferocious intensity. Her right hand plunged forward to impale the man's belly and her left came up with a slash to his face, intending to cut deep furrows into his flesh.
