    QT-86

    Warning: Power draw reaching critical levels.

    QT speeds as fast as it's engines can carry it. It hadn't been designed to fly at these speeds for this length of time. Many systems, including shields and redundant backups, had to be shut down to reroute power. Hang on, guys...I'm coming.... It believes that it has made it about 3/4 of the way back to their position.

    Eventually, QT ends up finding the position of Rathe and Rissa. A position marked by the Liberty Light, the crashed radians of one Imperial transport, and the dead bodies of ten stormtroopers littering the ground

    Rathe gets up as she hears the almost inaudable sound of QT's servos. She and Rissa are both on a second transport.

    Good to see you, QT.

    If a droid could breathe, QT would be panting like crazy. Instead, it just floats there, appearing if nothing is wrong. "How much time do we have?"

    Unknown. But best to assume the worst

    Rathe sighs, and tries to explain things to the droid quickly

    The Contact sounded a bit suspicious when talking about this place, so we thought we'd give it a fly over on our way to Taris Central.

    Unfortunately, for a "facility on the verge of closing" they were rather protective. To the point of trying to shoot the Liberty down, without a warning, just for passing through their unknown airspace. Pity the civvie ship in the same circs. She's fine, but we'll need to deal with the base, missiles and all, before getting airborn.

    Good thing though. This isn't a minor facility. They're doing... something to Force sensitives in there. I felt a disturbance when we arrived. This little attack confirmed it for me. It may be on the verge of closing, but it's probably best that the Alliance find out about just what they're doing in there that warrants this sort of approach. No?

    "All right; do we have a few moments for me to, as you humans put it, catch my breath? I'd like to see you speed long distances like that without the right modifications." Come to think of it, why hadn't I gotten high-speed recon subsystems installed? Something doesn't feel right... The droid settles down gently to recalibrate it's systems.

    "Thank you." QT floats over to the transport and settles on the deck. Once it's down, it begins the process of rerouting systems and bringing what had been shut down back online (except shields; there's no need for them until the group returns to the base.) "So, I'd like to think you folks have a better plan than just charging in, guns blazing. From what I can tell, the base is pretty heavily fortified..."

    Jena

    That's odd... The thing's humanoid shape stays Jena's hand for a few moments, as she wonders whether it is sentient. Logic sets in, remonstrating that any unknown creature on a largely-abandoned planet could be sentient; but given that this place had been inhabited thousands of years ago, it could easily be some feral descendent of a humanoid race.

    She decides to give it a chance without risking herself. Taking careful aim through her blaster rifle, she waits until it isn't looking straight at her, then fires a shot that leaves a black scorch mark between its front "legs".

    She remains perfectly still as the sound of the shot echoes around the old street, and watches through the scope, waiting to see how it will react.

    Spoiler
    Show
    Warning shot! Jena is aiming, firing at the ground (if you need an attack roll, (1d20+10)[11], and then using the sniping action to remain hidden after shooting: (1d20+8)[28]

    The creature's opposed Perception check takes a -5 penalty for every 10 squares away it is, hence Jena's desire to be some distance away from the entrance.

    The creature flinches, jumps back. Then, growling, it raises its head and sniffs the air, but doesn't seem to find her. It gives a high pitched sound and wanders further away from the entrance, still searching.

    Well, we'd like to have a better plan than that. But unfortunately, the Garrison could be en-route at any time. We don't have the sort of time for a plan of attack. Hell, we're not even 100% sure on where the thing is.

    So I'm afraid if we want to get this done before we're up to our armpits in troopers, it'll have to be charging in. Still, it worked for us here. They didn't get a shot, even with a blaster cannon..


    With a quick motion and a smile, Rathe picked up one of the now scattered blaster rifles, and put it down beside QT.

    Then she closed her eyes, focusing as best she can...

    You are right, but on the other hand, it just means that they won't be sending out anyone to look for you, they will be sitting behind locked doors and wait for Big Brother to come looking.


    As you drive in the direction of the base (or where you hope the base to be), it also takes you closer to one of the points where the missiles had come from...
