USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE II (DARK SIDE)- In the Coils of the Serpent

Nope, any sort of touch. I asked about that as well; can't even move them with the Force without setting off the trap. We have to come up with a technological solution to this 😖

You could try moving ALL of them with the Force from a safe distance...? I doubt that, but whatever...

Thinking tech...I would try to get some sort of goggles that would see which ones had the weird coating stuff that the normal tablets wouldn't.

I asked about moving them with the Force. No go. I spent all afternoon throwing out ideas 😛

THAT, however, could work.....

Goggles that see it would be weirdly specific.

There is no safe distance from which she could move all of them; that is impractical on a dozen levels. This problem cannot be sidestepped, it must be addressed.

Indeed. You know, like those little blacklights that highlight certain chemicals like drugs or bodily fluids or alcohol or other chemicals.

After all, the Sith didn't coat there's with stuff. It's the Force.

The coating's a biological substance so maybe something that can highlight that sort of stuff?

Only the fakes have this coating, the real one doesn't.

Right. It doesn't have to be specifically that kind of substance.

Hmm, the blacklight is such a cool idea I might allow it... I mean, all I was really after was something that would scan for the relevant substance...

😆

That blacklight idea reminds me of some of the experiments we did in my phyics and AP biology classes.....

😱

Does that improve your chances, Miss Xi?

Certainly pushes Rand a little bit further down on Rianna's "people to kill" list 😛

Ok then! Well, whad do you know, you are ready!

You hand the key back to Jena the evening before, along with, obviously, the data crystal.

"He suspects something is up, you know," says Jena. "You could have been smoother about it. Now don't get any big-headed ideas. Keep yourselves out of trouble and I might just let you live and leave when I get back. Remember, one word from me is all it will take."

Next morning she is gone.

Last chances now to say EXACTLY where you are when Rianna goes in! People who do not declare are on the ship.

Whoo, we're FINALLY ready to do this.....

As far as I know, everyone is covering the stairs....only ones who haven't posted and said anything were Gallador and Rah (where's Baylin, anyway?).

I did make a post about Rah.

Yeah, I remember, just commenting on his absence......

Baylin has had to pull out for now due to real life commitments. I might invite him to cameo before we are done because there is an unfinished plotline hooked into him.

A shame, that leaves our combat experts sneaking around or in the hangar.

Gallador can station himself with Takuan and Rand at the stairs (assuming Takuan complies with my message). We will need help there.

--

Rand moves to the top of the stairs with Takuan, Gallador, and Rianna behind him after keeping everyone informed on the goals, and delivering the synthrope, camera set, and specialized blacklight to Rianna.

"May the Force be with you, Rianni," Rand says, patting her on the shoulder with an insidious grin. "And may the Dark Side empower us all."

(You mean...Rand was actually helpful with his suggestions?)

"Get out as fast as you can," Galder tells Rianna before she goes on her way to make the heist. "I don't know how much forces they'll pile on us, and how long I can last. No worries though, those bombs'll be gone."

(When we clear the hangar, can Tanic and Galder both work on the bombs? A combined effort might dispose of them faster...)

Depends on your timing.

(Rand was, believe it or not 😛)

"Trust me, I don't care to stick around here any longer than necessary." Rianna replies, taking all the items.
