STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Liberator

"Please stab the nearest wall," Farl states, as if he knows something you don't.

NOTICE

We'll be using the new and improved version of the rules. If Ush allows Wentar to be changed, we'll instate that, but until then, we'll maintain the character sheet as is. Is that okay?

Yeah, that's fine with me.

Wentar will raise an eyebrow at Senator Farl, before taking a stab at the wall, unsure what to expect.

The lightsaber sinks into the wall with its usual crackle, burning neatly into the wall. Strangely, the wall ripples like disturbed water around your burning blade. When you withdraw it, the Triskatani Liquid neatly reforms inside the molten circle and it is as if it was never there.

"Part of the security system," Drufter tells you. "It closes around ALL doors and windows when directed to. Energy weapons only make a brief dent, but nothing more, so entrances can't be blasted open."

"Impressive," Wentar says, examining the place where he stabbed the wall. "I'm beginning to see why you are far more safer here, Senator Farl. I see why the security systems cost a fortune to install."

Farl just smiles.

Drufter goes over other features of the security system, some of them very complex, others fairly simple. An extensive sensor network, patrols of astromech droids and Triskatani officers, a variety of traps, etcetera.

"The best part, however... is that it is not controlled by a computer," Drufter says.

"Then what is controlling the system?"

Drufter looks to Farl.

"Show him," he says.

With the delicate movement of a cautious man, Drufter removes his hat and turns his back on you. There you can see that there is something implanted into the base of his skull.

"I am," Drufter says.

"I see," Wentar says, forcing himself not to stare. "That's a lot of responsibility... Though I have to ask, if anything happened to you then what happens to the security system?"

"Emergency protocol," Drufter says. "It cannot be accessed without specialized equipment, like what I have, and so goes into full lockdown. If that happens, I suggest avoiding anything and everything that looks like it could hold a trap. The Senator will immediately be sealed into whatever room he is in, for his protection."

"Interesting... Is there anything else about the security systems I should know about?"

"That sums it up," Drufter says. "I will go over the location of traps with you, so that you don't accidentally get burned or blasted."

"That would be appreciated, thank you," Wentar says, a small grin on his face.

Drufter spends some time going over the various trips and traps with you...

Laser Turrets: Damage 2, Pool 5, Armor 1. Light wall-mounted blasters that find targets with sensors.

Laser Walls: Damage 5*. Force fields that prevent passage through and effectively Reflects blasterfire.

Ray Shields: Pool 6. Imprisoning cones of energy that prevent movement.

Tractor Beams: Damage 1, Pool 6. Gravitational manipulators that push or pull targets in a chosen direction and keep them there.

Triskatani Liquid Doors: Extra-durable seals that reinforce blast doors; impenetrable!

With Drufter's help, Wentar is granted a certain amount of knowledge as to where they all are.

Excellent! Hopefully I wont need to use it.

So is there any updates to the off world cases going on? Altar's investigation and the Senatorial guards status?

Which do you want to check first?

The status of the guards first, Wentar can't help but feel a bit guilty that he didn't go after them when they went to investigate the basement.

You get ahold of their medical report... both are alive, but in critical condition. The doctor notes that had you not arrived when you did, they would have bled out, so at least there's that.

I assume they're still not in any condition to tell us what they ran into down there?

They have been sedated to help heal their wounds.

Alright, Wentar will ask if they can alert him when they're well enough to talk.

Onward to see what Altar has discovered!
