Since you mentioned previously that 1X couldn't see the bottom of the shaft then it must be over 30 meters deep (the limit of its infravision). Since its repulsorlift engine has a flight ceiling of 10 meters it means that 1X can't float down the hole normally. I don't know whether it's possible for a free-falling object to slow and stop its fall once it's within 10 meters of the ground without crashing. It's your call. Assuming it's possible 1X will do that. Otherwise it'll either have to try slowly climbing its way down the rungs with its tiny arms or, if it can't reach the rungs, have Dofina carry it. I'll assume the former and change my post if you decide otherwise.DRK-1X silently stops recording the refugees once they leave Four's presence. It immediately begins editing its recording to save space in its holo-memory; cutting irrelevant parts and empty pauses out of their conversation with Kellon. Meanwhile, it continues scanning various civilian and military comlink channels in an attempt to learn what the imperial agents are doing and perhaps what has become of Torrba the Hutt.In response to its Mistress' musings DRK-1X offers its own opinion; "Dissuading statement: Although currently focused on recovering the Twi'lek you surely remember Mistress that these imperial forces were recently at war against the Separatists. Although Emperor Palpatine has declared victory for the Empire and an end to the war it stands to reason that they may attempt to arrest you on suspicion of being an enemy of the state. If they managed to positively identify you as a member of the Trade Federation, a founding member of the Separatist movement, you may face criminal prosecution as a war criminal."As Dofina resigns herself to climbing down the shaft DRK-1X deploys its two tiny arms from within its chassis with a soft whir and click. Sinking down to the floor, the diminutive probe droid keys the hatch release switch and moves aside to gather up the small bundle it had prepared earlier. In response to its Mistress' instruction the small spherical droid responds; "Affirmative Statement: Order understood. Once I have determined that it is safe for you to descend I will signal you by flashing my holo-projector lens up at you twice." To Dofina's final observation it simply responds; "Yes Mistress."Without further prompting the small Dark Eye droid floats up to the edge of the hatch and rotates forward 90º to focus its primary sensor array down the shaft, to measure its width and depth before leveling out again. It then floats off the edge and free-falls down into the darkness below. Without any ground beneath it, its repulsorlift engine becomes useless as DRK-1X hurtles down the shaft out of control. Nearing the bottom however, the diminutive probe droid sends a surge of power through its engine to arrest its decent, regains control and slows to a stop a few meters above the floor. It then executes a slow 360º horizontal spin to scan the dark room around it with its state-of-the-art infrared and auditory sensors (Listen +9, Spot +14 / 30 meter infrared vision, taking 20). Assuming it detects no one and no danger to its Mistress, DRK-1X rotates 90º vertically, focuses its external holoprojector pod up the shaft and sends two bursts of blue photons up to Dofina.[/sblock]*Static*OOC: For reference, here's a Toydarian<img src="http://aaron.toponcefamily.com/starwars/images/WattoToydarian.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></blockquote>
