[QUOTE="Ambrus, post: 2903741, member: 17691"] DRK-1X and Derek exchange their thoughts concerning the feasibility of Four's idea. Even the simplest of the virtual simulations that the two droids conduct mentally brings several daunting gaps in the woman's plan to the fore. The probot says as much out loud. [COLOR=Silver][I]"Report: There appear to be many significant problems with your plan that I fail to see how we could easily overcome. Both I and these remotes' repulsorlift engines will not operate in the microgravity environment outside of a natural or artificial gravity well.
