The probot's worst suspicions about the pair are confirmed when it identifies the explosives. 1X wastes no time in transmitting a short range message intended for Four: "Eyes yellow. Two saboteurs found working in the primary aft control hub. Inquiry: Face send hands?"The probot's emotive node registers frustration and despair when it receives its counterparts transmission from orbit; even more obstacles to overcome in the search for its Mistress. DRK-1X waits to hear back from Four while its heuristic processor attempts to determine the best course of action to take next.******Knowing that its counterpart's comlink doesn't have the range necessary to transmit a response to a vessel in orbit Derek doesn't wait for a response. He instead focuses on monitoring imperial communication frequencies in hopes of learning their plans. This was, after all, the role the two droids had expected the human replica droid to take during the mission; to sit and listen, hence his designation of 'ears'. With nothing better to do, the human replica droid leans back in his chair and continues watching the two distant star destroyers through the viewport while listening to com chatter.[sblock=OOC]Perigee: The point in any orbit nearest to the body being orbited. The use of the word isn't entirely accurate but the two droids chose it to designate the act of escorting or following the freighter, orbiting it closely, so to speak. It's particularly apt when referring to star destroyers as simply 'stars'. I myself had to look up 'azimuth' to catch what you were trying to say about the two ships.This plot twist amuses me immensely. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />  The idea of two teams of infiltrators bumping into each other while trying to carry out their respective but unrelated missions and finding that, although they share the same enemy, they remain at odds because their immediate goals conflict makes me laugh. I feel bad that they went to so much effort to stage a slave revolt simply as a distraction; they certainly couldn't have anticipated a rogue probot with its own agenda to stumble onto them. Now 1X has to stop these two jokers from blowing up the freighter so that it can then use it to sneak into the cluster. Comedic action worthy of Star Wars. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /> [/sblock]</blockquote>
