Derek will instruct the remote processor to have the B1s holster their weapons and follow Four up the ramp while DRK-1X collects its remotes, follows the battle droids in and closes the hatch behind them.[Sblock=OOC]It seems unlikely, to me at least, that Four is telling the truth about her 'orders'. She approached the shuttle unarmed and seemed visibly startled by 1X's obstinacy and the appearance of its armed battle droids. Her companions seemed to be taken completely off-guard and were in fact ready to surrender. All in all the three seemed unprepared for what happened so I can't imagine Four issued any such orders before coming down to meet 1X in person. If she did Four could have taken better precautions than she has.I also need your insight. I don't believe the asteroid itself is big enough to have a significant gravity-well, it being only a few kilometers across. If it did I imagine the hyperdrive would have automatically ejected the Ari's Sorrow from hyperspace further away. Since the ship appeared inside the rim of the hole I imagine that being right next to the asteroid is no obstacle to re-entering hyperspace. Am I mistaken? Is there any reason Derek can't do as I said and simply activate the hyperdrive a split second after exiting the doors? I can't imagine that station personnel could deploy the gun-turrets, take aim and fire on a ship that quickly. I'd also imagine that attempting it would be dangerous since they'd risk hitting the the landing bay itself and possibly damage or disable its atmospheric containment seal in the attempt. Unless there's some obvious flaw in their plan the droids will proceed as described ASAP to avoid giving Four's companions or the station's personnel time to think. Derek will lift off, activate the ship's shields, fly out the doors and enter hyperspace.If all goes well and the ship safely makes the jump to lightspeed then 1X will have the B1s restrain Four while it searches her person carefully (Search +10, taking 20).Wow. Now that the shopping trip and arts and crafts session on the Sorrow is done my responses are so short to type. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> [/sblock]</blockquote>
