[QUOTE="Ambrus, post: 3310918, member: 17691"] The black spherical probe droid is difficult to make out in the dim room, the trail of displaced smoke being the best indication of where it entered the chamber. Derek reads the situation remotely through DRK-1X's sensors and answers the short man via the probe droid's vocabulator. [COLOR=SandyBrown][I]"Sorry about not being there myself; seems like a nice place. Don't worry about my money or your friends; I've got it and it ain't theirs... but it could be yours.
