I've been rolling separately, but I wanted to double check.The two battle droids move to restrain Four, she doesn't struggle much, and they hold her up for your inspection. Preliminary scans show that she isn't carrying any weaponry, but she does have a pair of code cylinders in one of her pockets. She doesn't seem to be emitting any communications signals, but X does find a low-power emanation coming from her torso. Switching to thermal vision, large amounts of cool spots appear on her person. These, X knows, would indicate cybernetic enhancement. However X has never seen so much done on one person. According to its readouts, Four's entire skeletal structure is made of a metal alloy and the power source it detected seems to power a series of microwires that lead to where muscles and tendons connect. Some of her internal organs have been replaced as well. The rest of her is organic however, or at least it seems. "I was going to get to that, had you given me a chance. The asteroid is used as a monitoring station. I'm sure you are aware of the cluster of fallen stars on the other side of the nebula? Well, it's no coincidence that the Repulse went there. We're not sure of what they are building there, but whatever it is, it's huge. We caught wind of it within the last year of the war and ever since Sidious betrayed the Separatists, we've been keeping an eye on it. This base was originally put here to monitor random communications signals that came through the area, but now it may have a more practical use. Or had. "The asteroid was the perfect size to allow ships to jump directly in it as long as the pilot had the proper coordinates. There was an acceptable margin of error, but it worked for us. That way, the Empire's scout ships wouldn't detect a ship jumping in and the risk that they could find us would be minimalized. As far as who we're with, it's not that simple. You could say that we don't necessarily agree with the formation of an Empire, but we're not exactly keen on the Republic's politics either. "As for Dofina, I only have one guess, and it's probably right. For a time, your mistress was involved in the research of genetically enhanced war beasts. She hasn't been in the project for some time, but her knowledge is invaluable and the research center would ask for her input from time to time. Torrba had a huge investment in this research, though his purposes were more for arena combat than anything substantial. My guess is that Kellon leaked this little bit of information to the Empire when he made his bid for power. Why would they want Dofina? Look at their current army. Clones, the lot of them. Anyone with a basic genetic knowledge knows that clones can not survive long and will need to be 'updated'. If our intelligence is correct, they will be wanting not only to better their original template, but also to make new and better ones, for alternate and extreme environments. Dofina's knowledge on the matter would be priceless."Four pauses for a moment. She isn't sure what you'll do with the information, but she is keen on keeping herself alive for the time being, that much is evident. She appears to be telling the truth.</blockquote>
