[QUOTE="Ambrus, post: 2913569, member: 17691"] DRK-1X and Derek continue to refine their plan over the next few hours. Without much tangible data to work with aside from Four's handful of facts and guesses, they turn their attention towards attempting to anticipate as many infiltration scenarios as possible along with appropriate actions to take in order to succeed. DRK-1X will use its knowledge of sensor technology and the astrogation data they've accumulated to estimate the number of satellites necessary to support an effective sensor net and then begin trying to anticipate the most likely deployment of the satellites and ships in the area. The two droids then use that data to begin identifying weak spots in various net configurations while calculating the amount of time and probable configuration of the net during the directed scan of the freighter as it passes through the area. DRK-1X and Derek then begin the arduous task of crunching the numbers to calculate probabilities of success for each scenario and eliminating or refining unfavorable results. Both Derek and 1X will use the available datapads to help with the purely computational aspects of the planning as they work. With skill and some luck, the two droids will hopefully manage to construct a effective scenario of 'what-if' contingencies that will help them to anticipate possible problems and have appropriate responses ready to deal with them. Later, once Four has awakened, Derek will make a point of consuming some foodstuffs and appearing to sleep while it continues to mediate and converse with the probot via comlink about the issue at hand. It'll also shut down for awhile to recharge and reconfigure its code to accommodate the elaborate evasive-piloting program it and 1X have devised together. DRK-1X for its part will likewise shut down briefly to recharge and refocus its Code to enhance its stealth programming before Derek brings the Ari's Sorrow out of hyperspace.[sblock=OOC][COLOR=Gray]I was thinking that, as far as hiding the vessel in the cluster, Derek will simply hide in plain sight; that is simply continue to drift along while powered down.
