C'mon, folks! We have 90% of a plan here! Just need a way for you to get the goods from behind the counter when the droid arrives with them without arousing suspicion! Or, not until it is too late, anyway. Remember, you need time to fit the transponders once you have them so no escapes under fire this time!
Nope- the droids are physically attached to the warehouse. They look like big yellow boxes with arms, mounted on poles; the poles slide around the warehouse and the boxes slide up and down the poles to the relevant level. They deposit the goods just by the counter. This place deals in technical parts only, rather than, say, enormous engines, so the stuff is normally portable.
They know Persuade, tpt, the problem is getting the goods out past everyone from behind the counter; they cannot persuade everyone (certainly not reliably). Even Persuading to the extent where one of the staff gets the stuff over in the first place is asking a lot, though Takuan is very good at it.
Maybe a combination of both plans?
Incidentally, you might want to think about how you are going to do that, Takuan. "Get me this stuff" is the hard way; there are better ones.
what level of sentience to the droids have?
I'm thinking maybe if we can someone to order a droid to the location of parts whilst someone whos good at sneaking rides on the droid. They then gets the merchandise and then sneak out again perhaps with the assistance of Takuan to help cover their movements.
It would take skill and coordination and stuff but I think we could pull it off so long as the droids dont have the level of sentience to notice the sneaky one getting a free ride...
