The 'guard' has taken to leaning up against the bulkhead for support while the other man continues to work, at times berating the larger one for being so lazy. They are pulling panels of from the control hub and hooking up these devices to something inside. Most of them look like data recorders, but a couple also seem to have antenna for transmitting and receiving. There is one set of items though that is unmistakeable. The two men carefully bring out a small brace of permacrete detonators and begin to install those in the area the panels cover as well. After observing this, only once did X have to move slightly to keep from being seen. It is then that the small droid receives a message from its partner in existential exploration. ***For the moment, the two giant warships stay motionless against the night sky. Derek casually glances at his screens and notices that many of the ships that had previously populated the place are rapidly making a transit out. He catches no sign of communications to these ships however. [sblock]Once, X was almost spotted. Good thing there is a distraction penalty... I figured the communique was a code of some sort. The only thing I didn't catch was perigee, as I'm not familiar with the word. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> [/sblock]</blockquote>
