Heh. In my experience that's a rather mild winter day; the kind of weather in which scarves are optional and I usually walk around with my winter coat wide open. It's funny to me; whenever I see weather forecasters or news-people reporting from outside in the winter on American news (say in say Detroit, Chicago or New york) they're always what I would consider wildly overdressed for the relatively mild temperatures. The heavy parkas, gloves, scarves and hats they wear are the kinds of clothes I associate with -20º to -40º weather. <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=";)" /> No Derek doesn't really have much else planned for the trip except to program a short intrasystem hyperspace micro-jump into the nav-computer to escape the fringer's base's vicinity in case they prove hostile. Aside from that he'll try keeping some distance from the base and try brokering a deal for some fuel via comlink before approaching. Derek will also keep the Ari's Sorrow's shields up, just in case. Work the parallel timeline however you like. You've already mentioned that 1X and Four have been traveling for a few hours so I guess they're a bit ahead of Derek who seems to have just lifted off.So can 1X lead Four on a circuitous route around the quartet of travelers to avoid them? Could we better avoid them if we back-tracked a bit? If so 1X will proceed with that tactic while continuing to monitor the movements of the four strangers to ensure we don't bump into them somehow.BTW, I just yesterday acquired the New Essential Guide to Droids. I'm looking forward to reading through it. The DRK-1 is in there though it is described uniquely as the Sith Probe Droid rather than as the Arakyd Industries probot that I'm playing.[/Sblock]The diminutive probot, keeps its hemispherical silhouette well concealed amongst the crags as it focuses its primary photoreceptor array on the distant quartet of strangers. Reorienting its holorecorder pod on the group DRK-1X records a few seconds of holographic footage before sinking back below the top of the ridge. With its repulsorlift engine humming softly, 1X lets gravity carry it back down the curving slope to where Four is trudging along slowly through the snow. As its holoprojector pod lens flares to life, a blurry luminescent blue hologram of the four strangers striding forward appears in the space between DRK-1X and the furry woman. "Report: I've detected four unidentified creatures several kilometers north of this position. They appear to be following a route which will cross our path in approximately 20 minutes. Proposition: Unless you deem encountering them desirable, I suggest we assume a circuitous trajectory to attempt to circumvent them."</blockquote>
