I could swear I gave you some before the asteroid base, but I can't find it. In that case, from the lab: 400xp. From the shopping spree: 200xp. From the asteroid base activity: 200xp. So another 800xp altogether, which by my calculations, should bring you to 4th Character Level. For now, I'll stick with also awarding Derek the 300xp, I'll just have to adjust the calculations depending on his actions in situations where he isn't with X. No worries there. I also went ahead and made sure that X 'touched up' both ships, unless you wanted to leave one of the escorts with the ability to see Derek...[/sblock]DRK-1X, the most industrious probot the galaxy has ever seen, goes to work on its plans to rescue its Mistress, the forever in trouble Dofina. X knows that only at certain times will it be able to access the Star Destroyer through its communication link with the freighter, so it sets a chronometer to make sure that it is ready to perform its work when these times arrive. In the interim, X busies itself making its makeshift bombs. It takes some time, but the detonators are premade to accept remote receivers, so the work is simple enough. It just well, takes time. Four checks in every so often, mostly to confirm the status of Derek more than anything. Though she is interested in what X is doing, she is more concerned about the coming mission. She mentions something to the effect of once you are safely inside the complex, she plans to continue her masquerade as long as she can. She did mention that she had another mission to accomplish inside, but she was going to first wait to see if you could find any trace of Dofina's location inside the complex through their mainframe. Then you would set about actually getting her free. When the time comes to do its work on the Star Destroyer, X wastes no time. Going for the virtual throat of the ship's systems, X makes its way inside the geometry of the warship's network. The difference between it and the freighter's is unsurprisingly vast. Where the freighter was easy to manipulate, X has to call on every bit of Code mastery secrets it knows and even make up new ones in order to remain undetected and gain access to the necessary part of the system it needs to alter the sensor cluster returns. While it works, X sends a part of its code as a sprite to see if it can find anything relating to Dofina or her capture. Unfortunately, it is unable to find anything relating to either. It appears that this ship was actually just recently commisioned and so any records it has of activity are very new. X finally manages to subvert the sensor cluster enough that instead of reporting a finding where Derek is flying the Sorrow, it instead shows a previous recording of nothing. The time elapse between the switch is so miniscule that only a droid could detect it. X repeats the process on the other escort vessel, again finding nothing on Dofina, or much of anything else. X learns in its minimal time connected to the Imperial network that if any of the droids that are onboard the ship made contact with any user on the system, they relayed as much to the nearest control monitor nearby. If X were able to stop this electronic relay, it wouldn't have the ability to program the droid fast enough to convince it not to take other measures to alert the crew. At least, not in the time it has to work. If X had time actually aboard the vessel, that might change. The ships rarely talk to each other during the trip, mostly to simply confirm positioning and status. It would seem the crew of the freighter has no love lost for the Imperial crew escorting them. The time finally arrives when the three days are up. The fourth is spent with the three ships playing hopscotch through the massive cluster. Through the freighter's sensors, X notes that this place would indeed be dangerous if someone didn't know the route. The cluster is made up of black holes. X focuses much of its time keeping Derek alert to any changes in the patterns of lfight necessary to remain with the convoy of ships and not get caught up in any of the rogue gravity waves that exist out here. X also notices something else. The transmitters that were installed in the freighter's core begin sending signals out. One of the other ships is sure to detect them if given the chance.</blockquote>
