All I meant was that, not having a clue how the facility is laid out, you'd simply have to assume that 1X is picking the best entry path it can find without me specifying what that path is exactly.On the other hand though, I would have hoped that 1X would have been smart enough to note the distinct lack of a mine at this supposed mining facility while reviewing the orbital scans and asked Four about it earlier. :\ [/sblock]In need of a safe vantage point to wait and continue studying the facility, DRK-1X focuses its primary photoreceptor on the comm-building. The height of its roof along with the array of antennae sprouting from its top would provide the probot with much better camouflage to hide amongst than the ice and rock covering the rest of the facility's terrain could. Staying low to the ground, 1X silently floats up to the edge of the shack before turning to scan the surrounding area to ensure that it's approach wasn't noted before quickly ascending to the roof and loosing itself amongst the tangle of cables, relay boxes and antenna covering its top.The diminutive probot first studies the electronic systems surrounding it, attempting to find a relay or maintenance access port that it could use to possibly slice into the building's communications system. (Search +10, taking 20 / Knowledge (technology) +6 / Computer Use +14) From its vantage point, DRK-1X next turns its attention outward to study the facility's personnel from behind the cover of the communications array in an attempt to spot Four (Spot +13, Listen +9). The probot also increases the sensitivity of its audio sensors to listen at the roof for any conversations taking place within the building itself (Listen +9).******"We're all busy men here; I don't want to waste your time. I'm sure you've got more important people to deal with." Derek pulls out his credit chip from within his jerkin and holds it up where the crewman can see it. "I've got em right here. If you've got a chip handy I'll make the transfer right now. How much you looking for to fill the tanks?" (Diplomacy +4, Illicit barter +4)</blockquote>
