As it does so the probot cycles through various sensor configurations in a further attempt to pierce the steam cloud. 1X then begins moving stealthily (Hide +22, Move Silently +15, taking 10) in the direction of the speaker in hopes of learning what is going on here and whether it will interfere with its mission. The probot is also on the lookout for any computer interface ports or labeled power conduits it could follow back to the computer core (Listen +9, Search +10, Spot +13, taking 10).******Safely in hyperspace, Derek removes his visor and then attempts something he's seen organics perform countless times before; he breathes a sigh of relief. Curious about the lack of a discernible effect the action provides, the human replica droid nonetheless considers the experiment a success and adds the mannerism to his growing list of behavioral protocols.Although the trip through hyperspace is to be short, only bringing the Ari's Sorrow to the core-ward outer edge of the system, it should provide the droid with the few minutes of time necessary to shut down and reprogram his skill set. Derek leans back in the pilot's chair and closes his eyes, turning his attention inwards on his own Code.Once his meditations are complete, Derek awakens, reaches forward and pulls back the hyperspace activator to bring the Sorrow back into real space. The human replica droid then begins the computations for a second hyperspace micro-jump; one that will bring the Ari's Sorrow back to Hurven Seven (Astrogation +4, taking 20). When ready, Derek punches in the transit locus into the navigational computer, takes the controls of the ship, turns it around and pushes the hyperspace activator forward once more.</blockquote>
