SITHMAS 2011 - DARK SIDE - Presents from Starguard

Relle wasn't there for that and does not care. She is tempted to have her guns drawn but does not do that just yet.

The lift comes to a halt and the doors openly slowly, dispensing you out into what appears to be the main control center for the port authority. You are at the very top of the tower. Banks and banks of humming machinery and computers are beeping and blinking at all points in the circular room, with a main control console in the center and dozens of secondary units lining the sides.

It appears to be empty.

Xavier begins walking towards the main console.

It is active and glowing. Sensors indicate all the starships that are currently in orbit around the planet.

"Where is everyone?" Rianna asks as she leaves the lift. Can she sense anyone at all?

Xavier walks over to the panel and sees if he can access it to find anything.

Not even a little bit, Rianna!

What are you looking for exactly, Xavier? The main console can do a lot of things.

Xavier mostly wants to get into the security cameras and see if he can find where everyone is at?

Going to be a Fix-It roll. Going for it?

Xavier is good with that, he's pretty good at it.

Does Gallador sense any living beings around or any danger?

Hmm. Well, that bugs Rianna. She's going to look around and see if there's anything else to be found here. Someone or something had to have let them up, after all...

You do not sense anyone alive. You would have thought the port authority... which also just answered you... would have been occupied by a few personnel, at the very least!

Xavier starts examining the main console. It doesn't appear that you have access to the tower's security system from here, but you do get a better understanding of what it DOES do. It coordinates the flight and landing information with the starport's computers and incoming ship's computers. It also controls the comms between the control tower and said ships.

That's odd... the comms appear to have been re-routed.

Dak will try to look up the network map and see where the comms have been re-routed to.

Rand will look out of the tower, to see if they can spot anything from this terrific vantage point. He is really curious about what is going on.

"What have you found?" Rand asks, when Dak and Xavier start messing with the console.

The network map shows that the channel re-routes to a warehouse nearby, Dak. That must have taken a lot of work to do! Normally these things are quite secure, especially when it comes to the Golden Serpent.

While Dak and Xavier fiddle with the computers, Rianna will explore the comm room itself, just to see if there's anything interesting here that stands out.

"The comms have been rerouted to a warehouse close by," Dak tells Rand, "Seems like we've broken into the wrong building."

Rianna- there sure are a lot of starships in orbit right now! The computers are tracking every single one of them and contain the transponder information to each.

Dak- you have an incoming message as the warehouse broadcasts a signal. You've been noticed.

"If they're tracking the transponders for every ship in orbit, then surely they have our codes as well...someone should take care of that," Rianna comments.
