Well, there are no doubt more...maybe you should get closer still. The man is moving to the right of the crack, and you can hear voices.

"Hey Stan, did you hear about that bar fight on Coruscant?"

"No Ridge, I didn't..."

"Well, seems like some guys turned up in a bar and were wanted men. Bounty hunters must have been holding a convention, and those guys must have been good..."

"How so?"

"Well, the bounty hunters ran scared from the place, and the bar was completely burned up! It happened just a few hours ago, but my nephew was nearby when it happened. He saw a group of folks walking out of the smoking place and get in a speeder."

"Weird...safe to say we don't have to worry about that happening here."

weakminded?

Well, they're bored security guards...

Reeth starts going through the crack, trying to get a closer look of the entrance, waiting for a good time when the guards aren't looking.

I take that as a yes?

Karkos follows Reeth, pistol in hand.

Of course, Yerss.

The guards turn away, walking further right. The thing seems to be a two-story entrance. The first floor has two small sliding doors that are reinforced, and a LARGE blast door that heads down into the asteroid. You can sense people behind all of them. The second floor has two of the sliding doors as well, but no center door. Jutting out from the main floor are two smaller floors, on which stand one man each, resting on their cannons. The two guards that were walking away head into the sliding door nearest you, and one of the cannon-using guards is falling asleep...

Reeth watches for a moment. He looks for cover to dodge to in case those cannons perk up and fire.

Quor whispers to whoever is nearest him: "How about a sonic grenade? It would knock them all out for a few minutes and then it would be easy to sneak up and kill them if necessary."

Never heard of a sonic grenade before, Revan. Stun grenades would do! But that explosion would be noticed. Might as well try to stay as stealthy as long as possible.

Just so you all know, this will lead up to the final battle sequence.

Reeth, there is cover provided by a large boulder nearby. You would have to run fast to get to it, which isn't a problem for some, but those synthetic legs might hamper your movement.

Tyr extends a hand and then the dozing guard at the cannon gets up and walks lazily into the room behind him. The door slides open and he is gone. That leaves only the one left at the cannon farthest away from you. "Mind trick, always works for me," Tyr says proudly.

"Handle the cannon guy and we can proceed. Cover some of the doors, in case they start coming out after us," Sol-leks orders.

((im going to say Terrik is with Reeth, havent been on is forever))

Pausing, and looking at the cannons, Terrik waited, then bolted for the boulder.

((Rex, sonic grenades were in KOTOR, I guess they do the same as a stun grenade))

Quor tucks his neck in like a crane and dashes to the bolder. From there he moves on to one of the doors and stands just beside it, so that he is not visible from inside.

Karkos bounds up a few minutes after Terrik and Quor move, and jumps up to the second story. He shoots the cannon guard with his silenced blaster.

(Never played KOTOR...)

Well, your fast motions catch the eye of the guy at the cannon. He angles it in the direction of the rock. But that only covers Quor and Terrik. When Quor moves for the door, he cannot aim for the Quermian. He moves to hit the alarm, but Karkos leaps up and blows him away quickly.

"Good job..." Sol-leks says.

Quor, you can see the next room through the door. Luckily, it is another room that leads to a door similar to this one.

Karkos, the guard that Tyr confused with a mind trick walks back out, confused at why he had walked inside to his quarters. He sees you and pulls out his pistol.

Karkos spins around shoots the guy in the head.

where am I standing now?

i guess ill be next to legion where ever he is

You two are still at the mouth of the crack, watching as Karkos shoots the two men and Terrik and Quor move in.

Karkos, you drop your man. He falls with a noisely clatter. The troops inside are bound to have heard something (him hitting the floor hard if not your silenced pistol), but they just haven't come out yet. Quor is covering the door with his position, so it helps.

Quor pulls out his sabers and throws off his cloak, revealing his dark jedi clothing and second set of arms.

You hear footsteps, Quor, coming your way. Two beings, coming to the door that leads to the room that leads to your door. They'll see you through the door, so you might want to hide yourself.
