Looking back to the body on the floor, it is easy to tell that the man is quite dead. Not only is his body temperature slowly cooling, but his throat has been crushed. It is here that X realizes that the battle outside must be over as it no longer hears the sounds of blaster fire. Without further checking, it would be difficult to tell who had won. Without much hesitation, X then sets about removing the explosives from the conduits. The layout and placement of these and the data recorders seem to indicate that the goal was to disable communications and navigation after taking signals from these and sending them to another location. It is not difficult to key X's receivers into this data. As X taps into the ship's systems, it picks up on the internal and outgoing communications. For the most part, discussions of procedure seem to occupy the waves, but an oddly familiar male voice can be heard talking to someone else. "Roger, Arrester. We'll be leaving orbit in approximately two hours. I under... yes... understoo...yes, sir." Four is obviously not liking her temporary job. The ship's ground procedures are once again underway, as the last of the ore begins to get loaded, air gets recycled and fuel tanks are replenished. It is almost as if the fight below never happened. Only a few mentions of clean up operations underway are any indication of it occuring. [sblock]A trip to China is actually the far future. I figure if I'm to do that, I'm going to go all out and go to Japan as well. Make a whole thing out of it. That and see if I can sneak a peak at Vladivostok. Well, you know saboteurs.. can't trust them as far as you can throw them... Speaking of, the thinner one has started squeezing down the same access tunnels that X first floated through. Now if only X can figure out why the thin man left the body there...Permacrete is the stuff that most buildings and other fixtures are made of in Star Wars. Permacrete detonators are meant to remove such structures quickly and efficiently. Which is to say a starship doesn't have a chance of surviving such a blast from the inside. These are the equivalent of a microfusion bomb without the radiation. Of course, they can also be used for mining, thus the access to them. As far as X using them, each detonation receiver is set to a specific frequency which is keyed to a transmitter set that is elsewhere. X would have to take apart the receiver and rewire it for the new frequency that X wants to set. So in a sense, yes it is possible but time consuming. As far as damage, etc. Consider these what we call plot devices. They do what is necessary. Nothing more, nothing less. But if you're really wanting stats, take a look at the assault concussion launchers that Republic Assault ships carry. Double it. That should tell you something  <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" /> I am extremely tired as I type, so please forgive grammar and spelling errors, if any. Subconscious has begun to take over. [/sblock]</blockquote>
