[QUOTE="shadowbloodmoon, post: 3111293, member: 9986"] [sblock=OOC][color=gray]Broken? Me? After all I've been through? Heh. Maybe a little cracked, but... ;) Okay, let's see one pilot Astromech coming up... The shuttles in that hangar are mostly short range in-system shuttles, none of which have hyperdrives. They are large enough to carry twelve people and their equipment. The active one is the most well used and will be ready for flight the fastest. The rest can be loaded and turned into flying bombs if that is what X has planned. There is plenty of fuel in the area for just that. The engines could probably be upgraded for speed, but their range would decrease with that. As it is, they only go so far, just outside the outer edge of the sensor field. As far as accessing the system again, I remember you saying that X wasn't sure about doing that considering it was caught the first time, so I went with that thought. As far as the size of the place, remember that this isn't the only residential area in the core facility, just the one for the most important people. I thought that when you were on the way to Hurven Seven I had Four mention a thought that Dofina would probably be there, but I guess not. Oh well. Now for the big bangs. The smaller relays will only power down the sections they are attached to until power can be rerouted to them. Once the core blows however, the backup generator will kick in, in order to give the crew time to put the containment system into place.

[/color][/sblock] The room Dofina is in is surrounded by other rooms identical to it. Hers is in the middle of a block of six of them. On the other side of the hallway is another block of six.
