Garmen - A message appears on your datapad, "The blue guy, Kylin, is trying to talk to you, he wants to know if you can translate what his droid says."
You proceed in your efforts to bypass the second failsafe before bothering with the message. The first failsafe was several years old, the result of an upgrade, but the second failsafe is from the original programming that is thirty years old, and was never in wide use. The unusual nature of the code means that this will be a difficult task.
You must beat 20 to succeed. Your computer programming skill is 6D + 1, with Sellia's help you get 23.
After several minutes, you manage to get through the second failsafe (you will not have to bypass it in the future). While you were working, Kylin told everyone that you need to get to the far west side of the base, to a lift, and that he doubts it is operational. He also asked you if you know if there is any equipment available that is capable of carrying the amount of data stored in a star destroyer data core. He suggests that since it is close, and because R4 is watching the hanger things should go smoothly.
The screen of yor datapad starts flashing in a multicoloured pattern (essentially this would be Sellia jumping up and down waving her arms to snap you out of your tecnologically induced stupor, if Sellia had a body).
-
Nagta - You check on Athena, ensuring that she has everything that she will need. She does.
Kylin speaks to the group, "Ok, the objective is on the lowest level, we must access it from the only lift shaft installed in the base. I doubt that after all this time that the lift is operational, so we will have to climb.
The Lift is located on the far west side of the base I recomend that we proceed there now.
The Major problem that I forsee will be the retrival of the core itself. The file states that the core is over 400Kilo's. However if I understand are mission corectly, all we need is the data it self."
She exits the ship, not far behind the two Jedi, leaving Garmen to his work, while Kylin talks to him. You follow her until she stops out in the hanger, seemingly checking things out. You stand beside her, waiting.
You hear Kylin speaking again, "The Data core is near, and with R4 to watch over our ships, the prospects of an early arrival at our next destination seams probable. If there are no objections to the plan I sugget that we move along quickly."
Kylin, and the Jedi move past you, and approach the door to your right (The farthest on the right in the second picture on P. 4) it opens, loudly, and they step through.
Ilon approaches from behind, ready to go.
Camon approaches, and yells, "Hey, what's the hold up?"
There a sound from the far end of the hanger, the sound of a door opening.

Kylin - You draw your blaster carbine in preparation for what may lie ahead, and speak to the group, "Ok, the objective is on the lowest level, we must access it from the only lift shaft installed in the base. I doubt that after all this time that the lift is operational, so we will have to climb.
The Lift is located on the far west side of the base I recomend that we proceed there now.
The Major problem that I forsee will be the retrival of the core itself. The file states that the core is over 400Kilo's. However if I understand are mission corectly, all we need is the data it self."
You speak to Garmen, who is busy, but the rest of the group can hear you, "Garmen, is there any Equipment present that can store the amount of data that is held within an Imperial Data core?"
One last word to the group, "The Data core is near, and with R4 to watch over our ships, the prospects of an early arrival at our next destination seams probable.
If there are no objections to the plan I sugget that we move allong quickly."
You move toward the west door. Once you reach it you hit the panel next to it, and the door opens with a hiss and a metallic clank. You look around the room on the other side of the door, it's a large open, well-lit room, with a hallway running along the back wall of the hanger, the report said this was the first floor storage area. You can see the lift in the opposite corner, but it doesn't look good. There is a large pile of snowy debris blocking the first floor entrances; however, you can see that the second and third floors are not blocked, as the debris appears to be the remains of the two floors.
You hear somebody yelling behind you, "Hey, what's the hold up?"
-
Cale - You continue your breathing exercise, noting that it is getting increasingly more difficult to relax as the blood rushes to your head. You hear Kylin, "Ok, the objective is on the lowest level, we must access it from the only lift shaft installed in the base. I doubt that after all this time that the lift is operational, so we will have to climb.
The Lift is located on the far west side of the base I recomend that we proceed there now.

The Data core is near, and with R4 to watch over our ships, the prospects of an early arrival at our next destination seams probable.
If there are no objections to the plan I sugget that we move allong quickly."
During your time spent breathing, Athena, Nagta, the two Jedi, and Kylin have left the ship, with Ilon following a moment later.
You hear Camon yell, "Hey, what's the hold up?"
-
Rava - After hearing all of Kylin's remarks, you move toward the west doors, close behind Kylin, with Ka beside you. You pull your lightsaber from your belt, preparing for anything. Kylin opens the door immediately, and you all step through, noting that there is nothing out of the ordinary in the next room, except that the lights are on, and that the second and third floors are missing (not missing exactly, just piled up in front of the lift doors).
You hear someone yelling behind you, "Hey, what's the hold up?"
-
Ka - You listen to what Kylin has to say, and then you and Rava go with him as he leaves the hanger. You look around the room on the outside, noting that it is clear of immediate hazards, it is well-lit, and the ceiling for several floors up has crumbled around the entrance to the lift, making it impossible to pass through the doors on the first floor without a lengthy removal process. You hear someone yell behind you, "Hey, what's the hold up?"
-
Athena - You stand up from your spot in the Firespray, and hear Kylin as he addresses the group, then Garmen, and the group again. You exit the ship and stand a few metres away. Kylin, Rava, and Ka leave the hanger, through the very noisy west doors, and Nagta is beside you. You notice that Ilon has joined you, and that Garmen and Cale are still in the ship doing their own thing.
Camon walks up to the ship and yells, "Hey, what's the hold up?"
A second later you hear the sound of a door opening on the far side of the hanger.
-
Camon - You approach the Firespray, rifle in hand, surveying your surroundings. Several people have already left the room, and three more are standing outside of the Firespray. Annoyed with the lack of progress, you yell, "Hey, what's the hold up?"
A second later you hear a door opening in the far end of the hanger.
-
Ilon - You lock out the Firespray's controls, leaving the engines on standby. Having done that, you enter the cargo hold and get into some cold weather gear. Kylin is there, talking to the group, and you manage to catch everything he says before he and the Jedi head out of the hanger. Athena and Nagta go out into the hanger and look around. Cale and Garmen are still in the ship, and it doesn't look like they are in a hurry to leave. Garmen has his datapad plugged into your ship's computer, but he's been like that for the whole trip. You decide to check out the hanger before going back for Garmen. A moment after you get out you hear Camon yell, "Hey, what's the hold up?"
After that, you hear the sound of a door opening on the far side of the hanger.
The next post will be Monday, July 19.Until you find something worth dying for, you're not really living.
