USH'S GAME EPISODE IV- 'CHASE'- LIGHT SIDE AREA

Xeth advances, deflecting quickly. He focuses on pushing one into a wall.

Advancing under it, you mean? Ok, but I warn you- you are not sure how long you can keep that firepower at bay!

When you push it, its hover-motors simply activate to compensate and all it does is wobble. Gundy MIGHT manage something more impressive but she is not well...

Xeth hops around, running on walls and jumping off garbage cans, dodging the shots, and makes a few swipes at the HK droisd before returning to deflecting with his lightsaber.

Kosta is tired of watching this and decides its time to help.
He activates both his sabers and runs in.
He is unsure who these people are but sees that they have geat skill in the jedi arms.
He looks over at Xeth and thinks.
"Impresive, holding off so many droids with one saber"

"Thanks," Xeth says. "We'll chat later, if you don't mind. Care to help?"

Xeth continues his routine.

Well then, this situation eatly gives each of you one droid to fight! And because I am not cruel, they shall target each of you seperately rather than all 3 concentrating fire on one of you at a time, which would be nasty.

Xeth, you flip up into the air to stroke at one, but it spins its guns around at the last moment, and you have to pull your stroke back to defend yourself, and then you are falling, and still having to ward off fire... damn it! These things are in a hopelessly dominant position.

Kosta flips backwards deflecting blasts with both sabers.
"dammit, i always chose the perfect time to show up."
lookes over at Xeth, and comments in a sarcastic, half humoured way.
"I would have thought you were up for a conversation"

He continues deflecting the blasts and thinks to himself...
*who are these people and why are they here?*

Kosta starts getting frustrated, and force pushes the droid that he is opposing. he deactivates one of his sabers and jumps to do a vertical swipe on the droid.

"perhaps an EMP of some sort could stop them, but where the hell could we find one"
Kosta says.
He regrets saying this as he realises that the chances of discovering a sorce bof EMP is near impossible, and it would probably dissable their sabers.

"Perhaps they went here to get smuggling done..."
Yerssot thinks out loud

Well, they are on Tartarus for the same reason you are- the Astrolabe.

-

You don't manage to jump up quite as high as Xeth did, Kosta (him being the VERY nippy sort!), and your jump is well short. This hangar is too damn high!

Even if you had some specific anti-droid weaponry, aiming a wepaon at these things is impossible- only your sabres are keeping you from being blasted to pieces. If there were more of you then them, maybe...

...but as it is, all of your combat instincts are screaming at you to get out of the open, quick!

how does an astrolab look like?

On the description the others have given you, it is half the height of a man, and as wide, made of brass and looks like a weird jumbled assortment of model planets and stars, with a solid base inscribed in Sith, each of which references a different planet. It's use makes no sense unless you understand its relatrionship with the equally obscure Sith star maps. It should also be accompanied by a big tall blonde Dark Sided nutter in the form of Persis.

"well, clearly the sith must think he's here, otherwise they used a little stealth...
Perhaps this Persis is known enough around here that they can take us to him?"

One of either Mah or Marcus can tell you... yeah, the reason they came here is because Marcus did a background check on Persis and found out his background was in smuggling on Tartarus- quite a big cheese, in fact.

"Perhaps we should ask the ...erm... locals... where we can find him..."

Xeth continues his routine of flipping and jumping and running on the walls. He attempts another jump up to the HK droid and slashes wildly for a second before blocking shots again.

"we have to get in to the open. There is no way that we are going to be able to hold them off inside for much longer."

*Kosta reactivates his second saber and twists the ends ttogether to make a double bladed saber.*

"Which way is the exit?"

*Kosta deflects four shots fired at him*

No no, Kosta- OUT of the open! Not into it! The exit is just behind you but in the open streets of Nar Shadda none of you will stand a chance!

It's no good, Xeth, these things are programmed to keep a certain distance from you... they stay away from the walls so you cannot even wall-jump up to them.

Kosta, these things are relentless, but their advantages can be their weaknesses to. They are droids; they have in-built battle programmes. If you can work out the programme they are following (and it is unlikely to be at all complex) you may be able to work out how to get them into a disadvantagoues position...

Now, where is Gundy? (hmph!)

-

Well, you have not got a great deal of trust from the locals, yerss, but you can certainly try asking.
