Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ambrus" data-source="post: 3065212" data-attributes="member: 17691">The black spherical probe droid's scomplink probe continues to spin in the computer access port with a soft whirring sound as its neural network tries to analyze the incoming security reports. The station's security forces were indeed being thinned out and consequently exploitable gaps were opening in their defenses, but for how long? Could the insurgents hold out against the imperial forces and possibly even gain further ground? If so where would they seek to go? Would this part of the complex soon be overrun with yet more security personnel? There seemed to be simply too many undetermined variables in play to properly project the outcome of this chaotic scenario. Was Four still alive? Would the insurgents abandon her where she'd fallen or carry her along with them during their escape attempt or simply bury her beneath their bodies as they fell to the onslaught of imperial clone troopers? Alive or dead did she present a risk to 1X is she were captured? Could the probot do anything to help her if it chose to? Should it take the present opportunity to try reaching Dofina now?Luckily, DRK-1X had been outfitted with a heuristic processor designed to learn and adapt to dynamic situations. The probot continues to use its slicing abilities to access key trooper and security droid deployments throughout the section in question and to analyze and identify the best travel routes for it through and around the area. All the while, 1X continues to watch the firefight between the pinned down insurgents and the recently arrived trooper squad. It waits a few seconds to see which side is winning, whether the combatants move forward or retreat, which way they go and to see what becomes of the unmoving woman's body on the floor. As soon as it has enough data to project the probable outcome of the firefight, DRK-1X withdraws its code from the computer core, retracts its scomplink probe back into its chassis and exits the communication room. Briefly scanning the empty hallway around it, the black spherical probot sends a surge of power into its repulsorlift engine causing 1X to tear away at high speed.[sblock=OOC]At the moment, 1X isn't as worried about being seen as it normally might. With this section's alarm having been raised and its security forces being spread thin and on the move it seems unlikely that a single security droid racing about is likely to be noticed or stopped. Still, 1X doesn't take unnecessary chances so it's doing its best to travel through empty hallways and away from other nearby probots and security sensors. Before disconnecting from the main computer, 1X quickly verified to see which specific probots are currently assigned to this area, what their current orders are and where exactly they're supposed to be.Without being plugged into the computer network 1X's ability to determine what's going on nearby is more limited. DRK-1X will try to keep track of new developments by continuing to monitor security reports and official orders being transmitted via its comlink. Still, it remains possible that the situation at its destination will change significantly by the time the probot gets there. Consequently, as it travels, 1X will take advantage of any long empty stretches of hallway by taking run actions whenever possible in an attempt to reduce its travel time as much as possible. Whether it's running or hustling though, DRK-1X will continue to exercise its stealth abilities (Hide +24, Move Silently +18, taking 10).DRK-1X's primary goal at the moment is too covertly reach Four, determine whether she's alive or not and to search her person to retrieve any compromising equipment she may be carrying, such as her personal journals. If she's alive then 1X may try to help her if it seems feasible. If she's dead 1X will simply leave her where she is and proceed carefully with trying to breach the central hub outer shell. Since you mentioned that there was a wide security gap between Four's location and the central hub this little side-trek seems to me like a good shortcut to take at the moment, perhaps even faster and safer than 1X's planned route?[/sblock]</blockquote>
