[QUOTE="shadowbloodmoon, post: 2939876, member: 9986"] X scans the entire facility as much as possible from this vantage point. It determines that it does not appear to be anything very sophisticated, as it seems to rely more on manpower than advanced devices for defense. There are guards everywhere and a five-meter high electro-fence. Switching through its various modes of vision, X spots the telltale hemisphere of energy that marks the detection radius of proximity mines. They seem to be set in a pattern approximately 2 meters from the edge of the fence. That would explain why the guards that are patrolling don't walk next to it. Each of the guard towers look to contain a pair of antipersonnel blaster cannons and three guards. Before reaching all that, the pair will have to circumvent the perimeter markers. Though not sophisticated, if not disabled, they will let the facility know that someone has penetrated the outer area. X would be able to hover over their detection area, but Four is not properly equipped for such an endeavour. She looks at you, eyes betraying a mote of doubt. [color=lightgreen]"I guess I'll have to try the front door."[/color] She waits for a moment before continuing. [color=lightgreen]"As soon as you are ready, I'd say get in there so you can get ready to get where you need to. That and you can keep an eye or three out for me."[/color] Derek approaches the otherwise unbusy station. The Imperial customs cruiser looms like a grim warning next to it. As he approaches, Derek can see two shuttles leaving the hangar bay of the cruiser and making their way towards the awaiting docking bay. They same one Derek is going to. As he finishes the landing procedure, outside of his cockpit, Derek spots an Imperial officer speaking with someone that appears to be from the station's crew. The officer uses his hand to motion to more than a few armored soldiers and not-armored other Imperials and they scurry off to do whatever it is he has ordered. For the moment, it appears to be a routine inspection. Derek also notices that two station crew men have come to his ship and are awaiting the ramp to open. [sblock=OOC][color=gray]X will have an easy time floating over the 5 meter fences, presuming it isn't spotted :lol: You did arrive pretty early, but X knows that the freighter is scheduled to arrive in the next couple of hours. From what X can tell, again presuming it isn't spotted physically, it will be rather easy to get inside just by 'hopping the fence'. Four, if she goes for that route, will be blown to bits by the 2 meter wide minefield that surrounds the fence.
