Derek doesn't know for certain that the empire isn't looking for the Ari's Sorrow; 1X has had too many close run-ins with the empire recently and it's certainly possible that they're somehow aware of the ship. Even if the ship isn't identified upon landing it might be subjected to an official inspection at which point they'd discover the four battle droids which, if they aren't illegal, may be reason enough to detain and question Derek. For the sake of the mission Derek can't allow himself to be arrested or kept from trailing the freighter when it lifts off the following day. No, for good or ill Derek has a Scoundrel's programming which means he'll have to keep out of the empire's sights and trust in his illicit bartering skill to deal with the unaligned fringers in the system.I'm not certain what you mean by "pirate outpost", if Derek knows about it it can't be uniquely populated by pirates since I'd imagine they'd make better efforts to keep their base location a secret. Even if it's an unaligned outpost for local near-do-wells, they've got to be somewhat receptive to outsiders if the location of their outpost is generally known.[/sblock]DRK-1X will continue scouting ahead as it and Four make their way towards the distant mine. The diminutive probot will take advantage of its repulsorlift engine to float up and reach flat outcrops of rock or ice to use as steps to gain greater altitude in those spots that make the manoeuvre possible. Taking advantage of such high vantage points, 1X will utilize its telescopic sensors to survey more distant areas before leading Four towards them.Having set his passengers on their way, the human replica droid settles into a meditative trance as he shuts down his external sensors and turns his attention towards adapting his Code to better negotiate with the potentially dangerous fringers on their home-ground. When ready, Derek reactivates, turns to face the pilot's console and taps a few commands into the Ari's Sorrow's helm. Within moments the vessel's repulsorlift engines power-up and the Ari's Sorrow gently lifts off from the frozen ground. Once clear of the surrounding canyon walls, the vessel banks and begins to ascend towards space and the nearest unafiliated outpost.</blockquote>
