I thought code cylinders could also store data other than access codes...Note, as you can see, I'm also changing Four's speech to another perhaps more gentle on the eyes color. Let me know if it's better or worse than the standard blue.Derek peruses the logs that 'he' was given by X. They appear to contain exactly what Four said, personal journals. Though on looking at them, it would appear that these journals contain nothing more than a few random series of alphanumerics and comm signatures in certain places. Without the proper code key, it would difficult to translate them. Four answers your questions willingly, almost as if she wanted to vent all of her frustrations. "I guess I'll have to show you the source of my sickness." With that, Four's flesh body begins to look as if it was melting. A grimace of pain etches itself on her face as it too changes into a moldable shape. Soon though, Four is now the replica of the technician that installed the module in your chassis, minus the Imperial technician's uniform. "As for how I got in, I think it's quite obvious. Most people don't look too closely for telltale signs of deception until it is too late. The 'secret' Imperial outpost there was well known to the local criminals. It was actually quite a simple matter to obtain not only a technician's uniform, but also his identity and access codes. I won't go into those details however." She is very adamant about you not prying any further into that story. "All I know is that it is supposed to contain some sort of medical information. I presumed it had to do with the research being done on Dantooine, so I took it in hopes of preserving it. Keeping it out of the hands of the Empire. I didn't have much time to look into it. I was hoping I would have that time when we met up again."She shifts back into her 'normal' form. You can see what the humans would call a sigh of relief escape from her lips. "The other intel was just some random stuff I took off of their database as I was searching around. I was hoping to find something about the cluster, but no such luck. I was almost discovered, so I escaped with what I had before finding out about you. I am hoping that the analysts at the base find something that we can use though.""I only encountered Dofina once, but I was unable to communicate with her. Otherwise I would have set something up more infallible than what I did. I have some underworld contacts on Dantooine, as I assume you know. I knew of a manor kept far outside the main settlement. Let's just say I owe a big favor in the future. As for how long it took, I don't know. I wasn't really concerned about that. I do know it took only a few days to get to the asteroid though."Her story seems to mesh, but some holes are appearing that X and Derek point out to each other, such as why she couldn't say anything to Dofina and exactly how she knew you had been put in the Imperial repair bay, among others. You are both unsure if this is intentional or she simply doesn't deem it important enough to pass on to you. "There was only supposed to be three of my people that knew exactly where Dofina was headed. The liaison on Nar Shadaa, the transport pilot and the liaison on Dantooine. If they told any of their people though, well....""I knew about the reactor and the maintenance droids because I was monitoring from my ship. While she was with me on Nar Shadaa, I placed a tracker on her. I deactivated it when I left so no one could trace it back. I know the layout of Torrba's place and I estimated where your escape would take you and I can see I was right. As far as how the reactor got that way, I can only assume that Kellon had something to do with it, maybe as a backup plan in case his first failed.""Except for Ventress, I haven't had any dealings with Sith myself. I only know of Sidious through my Separatist contacts. Ventress was rather blatant with her powers and her wishes. Foolish in my eyes, but Torrba trusted her for some reason. As for why he called her apprentice... She shrugs her shoulders. "I don't know. Maybe he was teaching her how to be a criminal mastermind. I've never known Torrba, or any Hutt for that matter, to exhibit anything remotely close to mastery of the Force however."She is nonplussed by your argument that you would not have been detected. "As far as I am aware, there is a procedure that is followed to make sure your launches aren't detected. Since you left so...abruptly... I doubt they had time to put it into place. Nonetheless, it's called 27B because that was what it was called when we found it. According to the old records, it was a mining facility. Number 27 of 50. I'm going to imagine that the others are gone considering the lack of more larger asteroids in that sector at the moment. We figure that attempting maintain its presence as a mining asteroid wouldn't get us far because it is apparent that the company that used to own it is no longer in business. As far as how many of these places we have, I honestly don't know the location of all of them. If anyone in our group does, I don't know who it is. We are aware of a few safe places, and those places know a few that we don't, and so on.""Getting Dofina out will not be easy. The natural hazards alone will kill any but the most experienced pilot. Or it will take somehow procuring the navigation charts from an Imperial ship. Getting either will require some hard work. We figure getting that good of a pilot will take more resources than we can muster in a short time. So we go with the other option. That's where you come in. We know the Empire uses Arakyd droids almost exclusively now. Something about a government contract with them and Sienar Space Systems." She pauses. "Or, there is option three. We steal aboard an Imperial vessel bound for the cluster."</blockquote>
