Aboard the Ari's Sorrow, Derek reorients the vessel's IX-4 Laser Cannons to target Four's two companions as he instructs the two battle droids outside to set their weapons to stun and target the woman as they step towards her.Targeting the woman, DRK-1X responds in its whisper soft voice: "Statement of fact: I will be if I leave here with you... Ultimatum: Now, you can step aboard my vessel of your own accord or my companions here can carry you aboard unconscious. Supposition: Although it remains your decision, I doubt your companions would prefer the violence inherent in the latter choice. Statement of fact: You have five seconds to choose."[Sblock=OOC]If Four doesn't comply then DRK-1X and Derek will proceed as they've stated; they don't bluff. Derek however will not fire on Four's two companions, killing them isn't really necessary. He's busily watching the scanners to ensure that no armed resistance force enters the landing bay to oppose them and to have the Ari's Sorrow ready to depart immediately once Four is aboard. 1X on the other hand will instruct (as a move action) the three remotes to fire single high-powered shots (+10 ranged, 1d3 damage) at their targets while it switches its blaster cannon to stun setting (as a free action) and fires a shot at Four (Ranged Attack +14, Stun DC 15). It'll then order (as a non-action) the two B1s to pick up Four (as a move-equivalent action)and load her aboard the vessel (as a second move-equivalent action) if it succeeded, or fire at the woman as well (Ranged Attack 0, Stun DC 18) if it failed. I believe all the actions described above can by completed in the first round of combat. Assuming at least one of the three eventually hits and stuns the woman then all the droids will proceed to climb back aboard the fighter. Derek will then lift off as he closes the hatch, turn the vessel around and activate the hyperdrive as soon as they've cleared the landing bay doors. If she does comply then they'll follow the same procedure but without any violence. If all goes as planned the whole extraction process won't have taken much more than 3 rounds since the droids drew weapons; hopefully too quickly to allow anyone on the station to figure out what's happening, or organize and initiate a coordinated response before the droids have left.Sorry if this attempted abduction somehow conflicts with what you had in mind for 1X and Four's merry reunion. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/nervous.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":heh:" title="Nervous Laugh    :heh:" data-shortname=":heh:" /> BTW, without getting into it, can I ask wether the situation with your wife's family has been resolved happily?[/sblock]</blockquote>
