All except for the microwires, which would seem to be some sort of stimulation array. In theory, it would enable her to move faster than most normal humans. Without a surgical study, the capabilities of her organ replacements would be difficult to discern. It is possible she might be able to overcome the two battle droids, but only a test would discover the truth of that. Four looks bewildered at the blank faceplate of X, the barrage of questions jarring her. "One thing at a time, DRK-1X. I may be made of metal, but I'm no droid." She scowls at the battle droid that takes her code cylinders. "Journals. Mostly."When you ask about her enhancements, she frowns. "They weren't intentional. Not originally. I was sick, and they had to remove my lungs. To live, they needed replacing. Turns out, the same thing that killed my lungs was eating at the rest of my body, so as time went on, more and more had to be replaced. It's stabilised for now, but I don't know how long it will last." She pauses for a moment. It appears as if she is holding back tears. Sighing and regaining her resolve, she looks directly at you. "Sidious was supposedly a Sith Lord that was helping the Separatists. We somehow think he is tied to this new Empire, but we have no proof, except this. He told the Separatists about his pet project, a terrible weapon to ensure victory. Then, once he had all the pieces in place, he killed off everyone that knew about it. Very few that work outside the cluster know about it and those that do carry a heavy burden. All we know is that it is going to be built as a powerful tool to ensure that all the galaxy will fall into line during this Empire's reign. Exactly what its capabilities will be or even what it looks like, we don't know. We've been trying to figure that out."You'll have to ask the station control personnel how they figured out that it would be safe to jump inside an asteroid. Even I haven't figured that one out, nor do I care, as long as it works. However, I do know that the Empire sends scout ships out to scour the entire nebula for anything that might be watching them. We've had more than a few close calls. Your little jump may have sealed the fate of the station though. I somehow doubt it will be there when we return. "Our organization, such as it is, is made up of people who were once a part of the Separatist movement, but didn't want to actually fight the Republic. Now that the Empire has formed, we have a new task, to prevent it from subjugating our worlds by force, which it seems the Empire is quite keen on doing, if the reports on Muunilinst and Ryloth are to be believed. "Torrba knows little about us and serves more as medium for information that anything else. Dofina, as you know, was definitely a Separatist supporter and her services of transportation through Torrba helped us get information when we needed it. She doesn't know much about us, as far as I know, but I'm certain she will when you find her. Kellon is bantha scum. I knew that pod oil slick would pull something like this, but I didn't know when. I've been preparing for it as long as I could, but with the Empire backing him, things got much more difficult."After I sent Torrba to Tatooine to be with his cousin, I lost track of him. That was intentional. If anyone knew that I had sent him there, Kellon would eventually find out and send his goons to finish what he started. So as far as I'm concerned, Torrba is still on Tatooine. "After that, I made sure to do what I could to ensure Dofina had a safe refuge. Turns out, Kellon was already on top of that. Apparently I wasn't paying my people enough to keep quiet about stuff I was doing behind Kellon's back. So I came to Dantooine to see if I could do anything about it. That's when that Jedi and his forces showed up and ruined everything. "Determined to figure out what was going on, I infiltrated the Empire's little show and found some intelligence that the people back on the station are still working out. That and the module I found and put in your hull. To get it out, I needed to hide it somewhere. Trusting your programming, I hid module with you, hoping that once you found Dofina again, she would come to us with it. "After that, I found out that she had been taken captive in a raid that occured when the Empire found out about the genetic research complex below ground. I escaped the bombing and hid inside a garage until it was over, then I found a working speeder and went to the nearest starport I knew of. The freighter I found is still in the hangar on the asteroid if you want to check. "Knowing that the Repulse was in orbit and knowing how fast it arrived after that Imperial Jedi did, we could only guess its destination when it jumped out. Our only concern now is how to get in the cluster."When you came aboard, I had intended on setting up a plan to get Dofina and as much intelligence out as we could. But now, we're here."</blockquote>
