[QUOTE="Ambrus, post: 2823085, member: 17691"] [Sblock=OOC][COLOR=Gray]I imagine probe droids are programmed to be fairly independent and self sufficient since they're designed to function for long stretches of time without supervision. Dark Eyes have high intelligence, are also described as having a propensity to investigate things beyond what they're tasked to, which I believe demonstrates some initiative. 1X has further been enhanced with a heuristic processor so it is quite able to improvise I imagine. So yeah, 1X has no trouble taking decisive action beyond what it's been ordered to do. From what you've described, it sounds like Dofina has regularly had it travelling and acting on its own initiative on her behalf. I wasn't sure how long an inner-system trip would take at sub-light speeds. If 1X knew it had a few hours of travel time ahead of it it would have taken advantage of it to do a few things. First, after reaching orbit and confirming that there was no Imperial armada there waiting to shoot it, 1X would have set the vessel on auto-pilot while it shut itself down and reprogrammed some of its skill points; switching 3 ranks of move silently and 1 rank of spot and added them cross-class to diplomacy. 1X knows it might be entering negotiations soon and wants to be a little better prepared. Between each point it would reactivate itself briefly to check the controls before shutting down again. Once complete 1X would have seen about reactivating the med-droids' remote processor unit. I'm not certain how the thing is supposed to work or at what range but I figure it's not much more than a big droid brain with a transmitter attached. If possible 1X would use its fancy tool kit to try and plug it into the Ari's Sorrow's power grid and onboard computer so that it could access the unit and send the droids instructions while it itself is plugged into the ship's computer. Hopefully 1X could have managed both tasks before it reached the far side of Dantooine's orbit. BTW, might I know how many bacta tanks, litres and weapons 1X managed to fit on the ship then?
