[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 7085780, member: 20323"] Kabal/Rainforest outside Spirepoint/Ruined Temple 5:58 PM/Sunset at 6:45 Faint rustling of the arboray trees to the west-by-southwest served as a reminder of the looming presence of the AT-FRC walker in the rainforest. Whatever the lustrous white scrap metal was, it seemed to be having a confounding effect not just on Rex's scanner but on the walker's as well. At least for the time being the cover was enough to fool the walker, but it wouldn't last for long. To the northeast, the trio of stormtroopers Rico had evaded earlier make a careful survey of the ruined temple, the sergeant - identifiable by his red shoulder pip - tapping his comms which were not impossibly jammed thanks to Rex. As Garett called out the control console pictograms to Arsinoë, the sergeant's head snapped up, and he silently waved in the direction of the dais. The First Order was closing in. Inside the chunk of dried coral at the center of the dais, Arsinoë could make out three hollowed out sections, as if each were smoothly bored out with some kind of a precision instrument. Within each there was a dark blue sphere engraved with faint golden pictograms. As soon as she brought her hand close to a sphere, the pictograms of that sphere were dimly illuminated. Spinning the first sphere she found a humanoid in a dome, just like Garett said. Easy enough. She pressed it. But then the spheres sunk within the depression and the sound of mechanical spinning came from within the coral control console. The spheres had rolled around and shifted to different hollowed out sections! And the First Order was closing in! This was going to be trickier than it seemed! Rex's scan of the immediate vicinity revealed that the coral control console was not a computer, at least not in the conventional sense. Scanning through the coral, the astromech found that at the microscopic level the console was designed using primitive computer chips laid with a gel matrix of holding some kind of marine invertebrate neurons.
