STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Respite

"Oh my," Vera-Kin says, slightly perturbed. "Then Tarne will know of our presence for sure. He'll be on alert!"

We take the hatch, apparently. We'll continue to do spot checks periodically.

"Probably," Wazo Kell says. "He's usually on alert anyway, but Jedi coming to Respite right after he strikes some deal to get a bunch of battle droids? No, not suspicious at all..."

-

Ti doesn't feel the familiar presence becaues the presence is not familiar to her! She walks through the hatch and immediately barges into a super battle droid. A pair of them are guarding the filter room.

"Intruder alert."

"Roger, roger."

Crap.

Forward Guard
Bodyguard (Xeth)
Block (Defense)

Tap Forward.

---

I lunge immediately upon seeing them, going for a swift kill.

Xeth goes for the other one, jumping through the door after Ti and lopping off the droid's arm before it can shoot.

Ti snaps out her lightsaber and cleaves the first super droid in half! The second raises its gunning arm to blast her but Xeth hops in and lops it off before finishing the droid off.

And... that was all there was to that. No alarm has been raised and there are no more droids in the immediate area.

Lol

"Well then," Xeth says in a hushed voice, putting away his lightsaber. "Let's move on before anyone finds this mess."

Can they hide the droid parts somewhere? Maybe toss them into the water pipe?

Vera-Kin wants to confer with Barker and Navir. Do they think she should confide in Wazo Kell about what Xeth and Ti are up to?

You could if you want, Xeth!

-

Navir will go with whatever you want. Barker wants to know if you trust Wazo Kell enough.

Vera-Kin will Scan Wazo Kell. She isn't sure if she should show her cards just yet.

Yeah, Xeth will toss the parts into the water so that they aren't seen by any patrols.

Then we press on. We need to sense for droids and avoid them.

Parts tossed!

At this point I need to ask how you are navigating. You do not know where you are or where you are going.

-

Wazo Kell is curious and excited.

"Something the matter?" he asks.

We need to bring compasses next time. Plot this out grid-style like Classic D&D.

I say we follow power lines running through the facility. They should lead us to some kind of control mainframe.

Xeth, what's our purpose here at this point? We're in pretty deep. I feel like finding the "main" anything is going to get us killed, even though that's been our stated purpose. Maybe we should try to take someone alive and try to get information out of him, then use his/her knowledge to help us escape.

Exactly what you are doing here has not been discussed, I believe.

We wanted to find anything important about Tarne's base and his army, I think. I believe we've already identified one weak spot in the base's defenses. We can drop into the water pipe to get in rather than scale the walls. Not that scaling the walls would be a problem for Jedi, but if we get anyone else on board for this fight, they'll need another way.

Can we identify any major powerlines?

Okay. A weak point is one important thing! You also had some other rumors you could uncover.

There do seem to be powerlines leading away from the main filtering room. You think this may be some hydroelectric plant that the fortress uses.

Well, what are Ti's thoughts? We going in or should we get away with what we've got so far?

Ah, sorry, I missed the update. Usually I'm good about those.

______________________________

Do we have a choice? I'm for following the power lines, but we don't really have a quick way out, so one way is probably as good as another.
