Heh. It's like this guy is offering to trade me his antique roman chariot for my vintage 57 Chevy. Finding replacement parts for her must be quite the challenge. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> [/sblock]The human replica droid silently transmits a response to its Mistress as it finishes its diagnostic routine. "I concur. This small, nearly abandoned station will likewise be a good place to discreetly dispose of the Ari's Sorrow. It would seem that our small vessel could easily disappear amidst the clutter of this facility for several decades."Satisfied with his analysis, Derek powers down the ancient freighter's systems and stands to speak with the venerable rodian. "Quite the ancient relic you've got here. Amazing that she's still serviceable at all really. It's clear that she's been well maintained over the past two millennia at least. The retrofitted engines and sensors make her comparable with a last-century period ship at worst.Our vessel is a modified M12-L Kimogila class heavy fighter. She's been largely converted for civilian use; most of her military equipment having been sacrificed for creature comforts. She still has a pair of IX-4 laser cannons on the wings though and has been retrofitted with a small shield generator for added safety. The engine has been tweaked for speed and its hyperdrive is fairly fast for a ship of its size. On the inside, it has a foldout sleeping rack and small refresher along with a small storage compartment able to hold up to 150-kilos of cargo. The cargo pod itself can haul an additional 30-tons of cargo.All in all, she's a good, tough personal shuttle for someone who's worried about safety. She might be just what you need if the trandos ever get to be more than you can handle. Like I said, there's not really anything wrong with her aside from the fact that she needs to be refueled. You're welcome to take a closer look at her if you like.Although she's not the most recent model, she's certainly newer than this two-thousand year old tub. If taken with the cargo pod I'd say you'd be coming out ahead in this deal. How about you top off this freighter's fuel and expendables and we'll call it an even trade?"[sblock=OOC]Assuming that the eager-looking rodian is as anxious to complete the transaction as he is, Derek is going to suggest to 1X that it take the opportunity to have the four B1 combat droids activate and transfer themselves along with all of the other cargo aboard the vessel (including the remote processor) to the cargo pod. If she would prefer to remain incognito, Dofina might also want to don either her flight suit or some other concealing clothing so that they'll be ready to receive the rodian to inspect the fighter. After that they can either fly the cargo pod to the freighter's hangar bay or vice versa so that they can transfer all of its cargo from the pod to the freighter more quickly. The goal is to transfer all this stuff discreetly in such a way that the rodian never gets a good look at the contraband stuff like the weapons, battle droids or even Dofina herself.BTW, what's the freighter's designation?[/sblock]</blockquote>
