Out of the Frying Pan... (d20 Star Wars)

[Ambrus]

Shadow:[sblock]DRK-1X continues to monitor Dofina's vital signs as she begins to stir. It doesn't move from its position overhead or speak but instead waits patiently for the female to gain her bearings before engaging her in conversation. Meanwhile the diminutive probe droid continues to record the refugees' conversation with its Mistress' newly identified enemy.

OOC: Out of curiosity, is the blue protocol droid still transmiting? If so DRK-1X might be able to learn what's happened to Torrba since he left. No rush for the xp; 1X isn't going anywhere. FYI, you gave each of us 900 xp upon leaving Taris. BTW, I was wondering if you yourself are enjoying the campaign.

"Yes, the sith are a nasty breed and getting involved with them is quite unhealthy," Femi replies wryly. "You should choose your enemies more wisely, my friend."

Femi falls silent, waiting to see what Felia says in response to Kellon, ready to follow her lead.

"The gray woman with the swords," Felia starts, beginning to trail off before she catches herself. "I agree, dealing with her in any regard isn't healthy. That nemoidian woman, on the other hand, is the source of most of my present troubles. I wouldn't mind seeing her turned in to the authorities. But, how is she in a position to treaten you? Last I saw her she was in a drug enduced stupor in Torrba's chamber. If Torrba's in custody... Or dead... Then she likley has a gun pointed at her right now."

She pauses a moment to consiter 1X's silence, wondering if the droid is destroyed or merely listening in, recording and planning on reporting to it's mistress. She clamps her hand down tighter on her comlink to muffle it, but knows that Tal's helmet is likley still transmitting. Concealed under her cloak, she adjusts the comlink to recieve, but not send, ending her muffled public broadcast of her encounter with Kellon.

"What sort of threat are you expecting?"

 

[Ambrus]

OOC: Someone, either Bobitron or Shadow, please let me know whether Tal's comlink is still transmiting or not. Thanks.

I apologize in advance, this post may be somewhat uninspired. My car was broken into this evening, so my mood is... questionable. Thank you for understanding.

As far as I can see, Tal never turned off the comlink, I was curious if X was going to have a reaction when it had heard that statement...

DRK-1X:
[sblock]
Dofina begins to become more aware of her surroundings, eyes blinking and she begins to attempt to right herself, trying to stand up, but having difficulty. "X? X are you here? Anybody? I..I can't see... What's going on?"

The protocol droid stopped transmitting some time ago, I thought I had mentioned that.. I'm sorry. Thank you for reminding me about the experience. I was looking at the characters and noticed that some hadn't added it yet. Speaking of, X receives an extra 300xp for helping to defeat Asajj Ventress. The group as a whole will gain more as soon as the next part is reached.

As far as myself enjoying the campaign.. to be honest I'm more concerned about you as players enjoying it. I as a rule enjoy GMing and creating challenges for players to overcome and coming up with things to stump tiny droids... I mean.. yeah. More specifically, yes I am enjoying this one. I love Star Wars and you guys are a fun bunch and I think we play well together.

The white Rodian simply smiles at Femi's comment. "You sound like you've encountered them before." Before he can continue, Felia speaks. After listening, Kellon takes a moment before answering. "Sometimes a threat is not physical. Though Mistress Dofina has her...vices... she is very powerful. The assets she can bring to bear are phenomenal. Her power is temporal. She controls most of the shipping and inventory of the operations for Torrba. In order to be successful, I need to have that control. Therefore, she is a threat."

Femi glances at the white rodian. "Tales of the Sith are told on my planet to frighten young children," he lies. "I learned at a young age to fear them."

Turning back to Kellon, he says, "As my friend said, Torbba is probably a captive or dead. If that is so, Dofina is likely no longer a threat to you."

Shadow:[sblock] Not yet certain how cognizant its Mistress is yet, DRK-1X chooses to keep its report simple and concise for the time being. It responds to her panicked questions calmly in its whisper soft voice. "Report: I am here Mistress. You and I are currently safe in the Sith meditation room of Torrba the Serene's residence. The building has been occupied by Imperial forces who are currently searching it for the Jedi. Suggestion: It may be wise to keep your voice down Mistress."

As it speaks, the diminutive probe droid floats down to gently bump its struggling Mistress' forearm to let her know where it is. DRK-1X tries to provide a steady point of support if she needs to brace herself against it while trying to stand. Meanwhile it continues to monitor the refugees and Kellon's conversation via Tal's comlink.

OOC: Helping to defeat Asajj Ventress? 1X did all the stunning and killing all by itself IIRC. If anyone "helped" it was the Jedi who distracted her long enough for the droid to get a clear shot in. DRK-1X the giant-killer!

Seriously though, 1X is worth its weight in gold. This is the second time today that Dofina has woken up helpless, disoriented and confused. I suspect that she would have died years ago if it hadn't have been for 1X's TLC.

[Bobitron]

ooc: Absolutely still on.

Tal shifts uncomfortably as the others speak of Dofina and the power struggles between Kellon and the Hutt. "Excuse me a second." He leans his rifle against the table to show he isn't planning anything stupid, then walks away from the conversation.

"DRK-1X, you there? Just getting static from you right now." Tal glances out the window, looking at the two Imperial transports. I can't believe Femi is keeping his calm. They just said they are ready to sell off his buddy! His thoughts wander to the young Jedi while waiting for the droid to respond.

"1X! Hey, if you're there," he whispers. "You still with Dofina? Are you hearing all this? Felia's trying to double-talk our way off this rock before we get punched full of blaster holes. Anything you can add to help us out?"

 

[Ambrus]

OOC: Bobitron, I'm afraid you may have misunderstood; DRK-1X isn't responding to Tal or showing any signs of life over the comlink. Tal can keep trying to call 1X but all he hears back is static for now. Sorry for the mix up. I just wanted to know if Tal was still transmitting in case it became important later.

 

[Bobitron]

Edited. No problem, I read the posts but must have missed that you wouldn't respond to direct attemptst o communicate. Sorry.
