The tech is replacing the panels and hasn't noticed the mysterious new components? Interesting.Droids aren't oblivious to the force; they can observe its effects as readily as anyone. Since it can't be explained by science though, except for counting midichlorians, they're hard pressed to understand its functioning or replicate its effects.You know, I should send you the DRK-1X entry from the New Essential Guide to Droids. It's interesting because it describes how they were designed in part using mechu-deru, the Sith's mechanical engineering art. The entry goes on to say: "A Sith probe droid can track a Force-user in much the way a nashtah follows the scent of blood, partly by scanning biological entities for the presence of midichlorians, and partly by surveying the environment for anomalous Force concentrations." "The probe droid uses this data to assemble a picture of an individual's Force aura, which appears in playback as a radiant blue nimbus." Pretty neat huh? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Beside who needs some psychic mumbo-jumbo when one has the power of the Code at its command? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /> [/sblock]DRK-1X, its arms full of permacrete detonators, floats over to the storage bay hatch's lock. Assuming it has a computer port, 1X will deploy its scomplink probe and marry it to the port in an attempt to access its simple processor and bypass the lockout mechanism. (Computer Use +14)[sblock=OOC]If there is no port, 1X will instead used the keypad as a manual interface and attempt to use the knowledge it has gained from the freighter's obsolete computer to try circumventing the lockout. If it senses anyone approaching, 1X will endeavour to locate and reach a convenient out of the way hiding spot and wait. Any exhaust port, ventilation shaft or even a mass of conduits jutting out of the wall should be sufficient to offer the little 30 cm droid cover I would think. A spot out of reach and beyond a human's regular field of vision is ideal, say anywhere high up along a ceiling or over a doorway.[/sblock]******Derek, puzzled about the odd ship idly begins computing its hyperspace transit locus and comparing it to the spatial scans of the area it had been conducting earlier in an attempt to determine its probable destination (Computer Use +14, Astrogation +5).</blockquote>
