The probot's photoreceptors zoom in on the devices the small man is pulling out of the sack, attempting to identify their purpose by comparing them to similarly configured devices in its technological database (Knowledge (technology) +6). 1X also records a holo-image of the strange pair as they go about their work for future reference.******Confronted with the sight of the two massive destroyers in orbit, Derek cuts the Ari's Sorrow's engines and sets the craft to drifting. The human replica droid considers the matter for a few seconds and then accesses its internal comlink's encryption algorithm to encode a brief message. Aware that the comlink hasn't the range to transmit the message to the planet's surface, Derek next opens the hatch at the back of its head and marries its own comlink to the vessel's communication console with a cable it retrieves from its datapad. Once ready, Derek enters 1X's and Four's comlink frequency and depresses the transmit button on the console before him. "Mark 57.2 mark 28.9 mark 765.3. Yellow binary star system nearing perigee. Listening for dusk."[sblock=OOC]In case you can't tell, Derek is using a pre-determined code. The numbers gives his x/y/z position using a specially made-up unit of measure with the point of origin being the last spot the Ari's Sorrow settled on the planet. Yellow is naturally an indication of an obstacle; the obstacle being a pair of star destroyers, or a 'binary star system'. 'Nearing perigee' means that they seem to be waiting for the freighter to launch. 'Listening' is self referential as Derek's designation is 'Ears'. By 'dusk' Derek means that he is waiting to see if the star destroyers will depart to determine if it's safe for him to follow the freighter into hyperspace.Derek and 1X have previously concluded that if the Sorrow is prevented from following due to the freighter having an escort that 1X and Four will have to continue with the mission on their own and hope that they can arrange their own transport out of the cluster later.[/sblock]</blockquote>
