Well then, Graff can shoot him in the face. That's always worked out well in the past.

Okay, so that's 6k in upgrade costs, 3k if haggling halves cost, 0 if we use the ardent's supply of parts.

It takes 6 days if Ice works on it alone. Felhammer?

Problem with that is two types of cortosis, if weaved it just blocks. If pure then they are fragile. Though this is SAGA rules which don't make a distinction :P

Also, I trust plant boy even less after his comment.

I can go with cortosis weaved arms/legs/hands/feet. Imagine the looks on their faces when they try to cut them off!

If Ice has time after modifying the emergency signal ring, he will start compiling a list of everyone above the team who might have had knowledge of all the three missions which appear to have been compromised, then look for things which would disqualify them.

Edit: Also, was R+D able to find out anything about Torin's box, and does Ice still have it?

Graff can cover the cost.

I suggest ion shielding, or whatever it's called in GAW - the one that keeps you from taking double CT damage from ion weapons. Or, I think there's a "for droids" version in Scavenger's Guide to Droids that could be installed on your chassis without filling the upgrade slots on all 6 prostheses.

Just a note, this doctor is a very important sentient whose life can change the balance of power in the galaxy. The Alliance's new weapon has been deployed in the last week. This planet is a well known place and is very much threatened by the lack of security. Krayt could just be coming here to secure his prize and personally move him to a different location.

Remember there was a lot of other things happening on the Wheel at the same time, from the Mandos gathering, to the Czerka Ship, to Mastigo's "stunt". The only conclusive proof you have about a possible leak was how Mastigo knew about Graff. That could easily be seen in the context of Mastigo - who has a seething hatred for Graff - sensing his presence and acting decisively to hurt him. Nothing else on the mission necessarily implies a leak of any kind.

At any rate, ICE, you have not been able to discern anything else about the box. It is an enigma.

Can we assume that our disguises have been made during the jump time or is that out of the question?

If possible I would suggest that they wrap Kelaeon's real lightsaber in fake coral so just in case things go bad he can hack and slash. (If the evil crystal was red, and you put it in the saber, then it would also help our image)

On the subject of my cybernetic upgrades, I have picked some. They are of course subject to your approval Fel.

Infrared sensors in the eyes (300) (Grants Darkvision)
Ion shielding for the limbs (4000 in total) (Not treated as droid for Ion damage)
Jump servos (take 10 on jump)
Climbing Claws (take 10 on climb)

And if you'll allow it:
SR 15
Cortosis Weave

This seems like a good and sensible plan, but if we've agreed on that why are people still talking about disguises and emergency signals that will only come into play (as I understand it) if we try something sneaky?

Oh, sorry that's my plan. I think they are going to try to infiltrate through the front dressed as Sith in order to gather some intel on the interior of the prison and the location of the VIP. Afterward a second infiltration team may get a signal to kick in some doors, which is why I'm going to see in IC if Bones is willing to try a second infiltration through a wall or something.

Yeah, the disguises are mainly just to locate the VIP and gather information about the prison layout/security (and provide a small distraction while you infiltrate). If we just went in blasting it could take quite awhile to find a six centimetre worm. Ideally we would grab the scientist then give the signal for you guys to wreck up the place.

Infiltration looks like a high-risk low-reward undertaking at this point. Even if they don't know we're coming, the news that Darth Krayt is coming for a personal visit should have their security double- and triple-checking everything.

And if they are expecting us, well - we've always led with "tricky" before. (And it's never worked.) So they should be surprised if we start off this time by kicking in the door and launching a frontal assault.
