I hope you don't mind if I mix it up a bit. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/nervous.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":heh:" title="Nervous Laugh    :heh:" data-shortname=":heh:" /> Both Derek and DRK-1X study the interior of the landing bay through the Sorrow's scanners throughout the approach. As the probot extends the ship's landing gear, Derek rises from the pilot's chair and begins pulling out and donning some spare clothing from a storage compartment. When the ship touches down, DRK-1X completes the Sorrow's final shut-down procedure while the humanoid replica droid begins covering up its exposed sythskin with long sleeves, gloves and even a helmet with a face concealing visor. Noticing the trio of delegates walking across the bay to greet them the probot chirps a few sentences of binary to Derek, making him aware of the development. Derek, in response, simply answers "Acknowledged. We'll proceed as agreed.". The two droids then exchange places. DRK-1X retrieves and activates the three tactical remotes with a thought while Derek brings the remote processor online. Once Four is nearly at the shuttle, Derek triggers the access hatch's control and extends the short boarding ramp.When the delegates arrive outside, DRK-1X gently floats out of the hatch and into view. A few seconds later the probot is followed by the trio of tactical remotes which catch up to 1X and begin orbiting it slowly. For a few moments, the four droids take on a semblance of a large animated lithium atom before the probot dispenses with pleasantries addresses Four. "Statement of fact: You were heard speaking to the three refugees moments after Kellon admitted to betraying Torbaa, to dealing with the Empire and conspiring to have my Mistress killed. She and I later proceeded in good faith to Dantooine at your request only to encounter Imperial agents laying in wait to apprehend us there. My Mistress was later taken by Imperial troopers aboard the Star Destroyer Repulse which I have tracked to this vicinity. These events lead my Code to cast you in an rather unfavorable light. Directive: Perhaps we could retire to my vessel to discuss this matter in more depth."As DRK-1X converses with the frustrated Four, back aboard the Ari's Sorrow Derek listens attentively while it brings the vessel's weapons online and issues a command through the remote processor. In response, the two folded droids in the cabin's companionway activate, stand, unholster their rifles and walk quickly out the hatch to assume positions to either side of the access ramp. Finishing its statement, DRK-1X issues a quick mental command causing the three tactical remotes to arc quickly through the air and begin each orbiting a member of the delegation. DRK-1X continues in its sexless monotone voice; "Your companions can remain here with mine while we speak." DRK-1X drifts aside, making way for the woman to walk up the ramp.OOC: For the moment the droids are trying to remain assertive but non-threatening. The B1s, tactical remotes, 1X and the Sorrow's weapons aren't being aimed at the delegates, simply being held ready. That'll change if any of the three make a move to reach for a weapon, or any piece of equipment. If any of them do anything but comply then the tactical remotes will begins moving evasively while taking aim at their respective targets, 1X will deploy its blaster, the B1s will take aim at Four while Derek brings the vessel's weapons to bear on the delegates. DRK-1X is done playing around. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" /> If she complies, 1X will lead her aboard the shuttle and leave the other four droids outside to watch over the two organic personnel.BTW, I added the Genetech Corporation's manufacturer's bonuses to Derek. Please let me know if that's okay. Also, I was wondering if 1X would have been able to tweak the remotes' control settings so that signalers aside from 1X's couldn't be used to control them.</blockquote>
