gisk, can I do a time skip of a couple of days, and say that it took you that long to return? Otherwise it took you about an hour to go recruit your two new people and bring them back.

I kinda thought that's what the plan was.

ok. cool.

I'm going to post the map of the compound here. Gisk, can you transfer it to the OP for easy reference?


10 is Saidor's room, 1-7 and just south of 3 are nooks with beds in them for the workers, 11 is an ancient interrogation chamber, which is converted into the non-combat droid repair and storage room, 12 is a training room that has remotes, training weapons, and battle droids to fight against, 8 is a central chamber for people to gather in, with a kitchen, tables, comms consoles, etc, here, and 13 will be for flight simulators once we get them, though now it's just another training area. 14 goes to the ruins and 9 goes to an old trade colony, though I haven't tried to rebuild it yet. Just south of 13 on the left side of the hall is a room that was carved out for the security office and brig. Across the hall is security droid storage.

Done.

Something like that?

So, what's the rest doing right now? Those that had already arrived? Haha.

Just going about general tasks. Probably Kilgaris and Huleez are patrolling(we could even write in an encounter with a native creature if Min gets bored) and Mia is doing maintenance.

You missed something in your post, David isn't "not there," he just isn't showing his face. He told the air traffic control that he needs to make some repairs before he leaves.

Ah, yeah, you did. I'll fix that.

Oh, and while you're fixing it, just assume that Nira is with her for now. Ciphra might come back, I'm kinda hoping so.

Can I be in room 2?

@TheUnknowable I want you to assign a difficulty rating to Mia's attempt on installing another core on the damaged droid that were left from their initiation/practice tests and roll my Tinkering skill for it if you could please.

ok. I'll say it's moderate difficulty (15), since it's a complex part but an old design, so it's not as complex as the newer droids. Also, your are combining two damaged ones into one working one. I actually rolled 3-4-5-6 (weird), so that's 18. A success.

I would like to point out (from a "scientific" standpoint) that adding lasers on it's back would be very difficult... for two main reasons, one being that you would have to try and find a way to make it all fit together so that it can roll up into a ball and still move around fine, and two, power draw... The power core of the droid may or may not be able to support more firepower, and the shields, while maintaining its operating system, and various sensors. I'm not the one who has a say on whether or not you can do it... just pointing out difficulties.

Oh, I was just looking at combining two damaged droids of the exact same model into one functional one. Unless you tied the other two lasers into the same circuit as the ones it already has, that would be pretty hard to do, on top of all of the problems you mentioned. Tech is a thousand years more advanced than when it was designed, though, so the power systems have probably gotten a lot more power-dense since then.

You have my thanks.

@Galgarion Well I'm not exactly a tech expert but I would like to elaborate my viewpoint so that you can add more effectively to it and maybe help in sorting this out. I'm plating two cores in one droid, the second sitting in a lower center of gravity so as not to effect it's rolling mechanism. Secondly, this core will take on all the ability to handle the shields so as to free the load the on two more lasers on the primary core.

Now for mounting two lasers on the back. They are much like the same Mantis type design as the originals, as in they swivel into place and are not stationery. They'll follow a more exaggerated path than the front lasers and will be mounted a bit higher so as to not disturb the original movement cavity for operation. I hope I can pull that of in a weird science way. If not, I'll just keep it as a pet project and try and modify the original design more heavily.

What I am aiming is a more General Grievous kinda design from the droid. I think that would make it a beautiful threat to the enemies of Siador and maybe prove the worthiness of Miavenna which seems to be shadowed by Kilgaris at the moment.

I just wanna say, I know that you're feeling a bit left out at the moment Dia, but I think it will come to be interesting in the end. Kilgaris drew a lot of attention to himself, that's why Siador has such a focus on him. He's looking for apprentices and here comes a guy with Force Potential who already has a freaking lightsaber. When Kil shows his true colors, who's Siador gonna turn to? The traitor's sister. And think about the fun characterization we can give her in this event! Resentment for the belated justification, a renewed need and opportunity to prove herself. This whole situation puts her in an even greater competition with him than she already was. It's like, advanced sibling rivalry. It's also very Star Wars and I love it.

Oh don't worry for me Gisk. I'm in character xP

Also, Mia loves Kil but she won't hesitate to kill him if it means she can grow more powerful. She's my take on Asajj but she has a mentality comparable to Darth Sidious. xD

I have always wanted to try and write a Neutral Evil, it's my seventeenth attempt, but hopefully I can redeem myself. I always tend to gravitate towards Chaotic Evil and Chaotic neutral types. It's a challenge and I wish to enjoy it.

It's true that modern power devices would be more miniaturized (to a degree, they are already pretty small), as far as making it roll, I was less worried about the balance and more concerned about it no longer being able to make a spherical shape, given all the odds and ends from the new guns to the converters to make the newer power devices work with the old tech, so it either wouldn't be able to close properly, or if it did close there would be all kinds of bits sticking out.

OKay then, I'll keep this idea as a pet project. Currently she has just installed another core. That way the droid can have a shield up quicker. It's still technically an upgrade.

So, who's next to post? Should I open up by saying I'm seeking a job as a pilot and/or mechanic? Haha.
