Fire and Ice (EE D4)

[Bowze Coppa]

''I understand. Still your expertise will be most valuable.'' once again he adressed the droid ''T-1, please assign the rank of lieutenant to those three here in you database.''

[Dapper Dog]

"Order received and complied," the droid responded.

[Vaya Mer'darrow]

Vaya blinked in surprise, and then laughed long and loud. "Never expected that!" she crowed.

"C'mon Lieutenants, let's take a look around." A glowstick in one hand and her infrabinoculars in the other, she started poking at maybe-broken,maybe-not bits of base. "Hey, how does seniority work again?"

[Djanik]

"Demoted from Captain. Harsh."

Djanik sighed.

"Let's see what is in storage - if we have fighters, B1s, or even some rolling clankers."

Just hopefully not buzz droids, those terrors were better never returning...

[Bowze Coppa]

Bowze chuckled

''Don't take this personnal, this is temporary. Once the base is ready I will change that.''

ooc: Roll to evaluate salvage from this place? Players are weighing which parts to try and fix vs break down for parts to fund the fixing of the other parts.

ooc: Roll to evaluate salvage from this place? Players are weighing which parts to try and fix vs break down for parts to fund the fixing of the other parts.

OOC: I will handle that case by case, I can tell you it won't have as much salvage as players would like.

OOC: I will handle that case by case, I can tell you it won't have as much salvage as players would like.

How much to get the 50 B-1s fully battle ready? And the others?

[Djanik]

"Will you?"

Djanik raised an eyebrow, but followed them in surveying the base and layout.

There was a command center, and some store rooms... was that all?

"If you can get me access to readouts and tools of passable quality, I can probably do some repairs - I'm not half bad at them. I know someone else who might be up for the challenge as well."

OOC: Djanik just wants an idea what droid units are here - and what condition they are in.

[Dapper Dog]

OOC: The standard B-1's the Roger Roger" droids is all you have here. Looking at about 1200 credits worth of materials to get them ready for battle. Mostly replacing depleted clips or faulty limbs.

[Djanik]

With a very sad sigh, Djanik began inspecting the droids - it would've been great if there were some vulture droids - he could've really gotten some work done with those, or at least salvaged enough parts off one to fix the overheating problem on his laser cannons.

Once he had done the perimeter, he returned to the team.

"I'm guessing something like 3000, or a little less, credits would let us set up an amenities unit, get the scanner up, and fix those droids... but that'll depend on what we can source."

[Bowze Coppa]

''A big investment'' the nemoidian calculated a few things ''The scanners and comms are the first priority. Getting the battle droids up and running would certainly be a plus but we need a carrier.''

He walked around the hangar, observing the droids.

''I will need to check the computers and the droid's programming. If we cannot have quantity we can very well make sure we have quality.''

[Djanik]

"I agree on the comms... if we can put up a passive navigation beacon, we can make it a lot easier to come and go safely - without drawing undue attention."

He glanced at the T-1 droid and asked, "Does this base have a landing bay?"

[Vaya Mer'darrow]

Vaya shrugged and addressed Djanik and "the General. "You two are the experts, but I don't think 50 droids will have Yulani quaking in her boots. The listening post..." she shrugged. "Hard to imagine having more guns. That kind of information access could give your friends an edge, though."

[Bowze Coppa]

''Fifty to a hundred is not big, indeed, but it can make quite a strike force if handled correctly.'' he replied to Vaya

''But yes, the comms and sensor are what can change the game here''

[Jabber]

Jabber looks around, nodding to himself a little. "If the sensory array is the priority, I think I have the scrap and credits to bring us along there. The problem is just that there's so much, and not enough resources to cover everything at the moment. Obviously I will see about investing what I can, but an order of what we want running would be helpful."

[Bowze Coppa]

''I have some creds to my name.'' he added ''We could scavenge for the rest or find a way to make creds''

[Jabber]

"The problem is that the scavenging sites that are most popular got taken over from the Emperor. Unless we want to get someone to take their attention and let us raid, there's no taking anything from the Shattered Graveyard...huh."

Jabber turns to the military protocol droid.

"Two questions...first, what would it take to get the Tri-fighters online?"

"Two, can you cross reference your data on sites of skirmishes on the planet and crashed ships with Lt. Djanik's data with the current topography?"

[Dapper Dog]

"We have no fighter compliment, I need to see the topography data before I can calculate that data sir," the droid responded.

[Bowze Coppa]

''Good thinking Jabber'' he scratched his chin ''I'll stay overnight to inspect the programming and update T-1 on our situation''

[Jabber]

"Huh, I thought I heard we had fighter support. I guess there is emphasis on had. Any air support at all?"

Jabber looks over at Djanik. "Do you have something up to date? I am hoping that if they had sensors running the whole time, they might have a few areas for scrap that no one is looking at."

[Bowze Coppa]

''For scavenging we can try the industrial wastes...I doubt the Dominator brought enough manpower to cover that.'' he mused

[Djanik]

OOC: I had asked if there was a hangar.

"I'll get the ship - I can transfer my scanner data over - but it'd be ideal if there was a hangar we could land in. It'd save the trek for later journeys."

Also, if any other ships got involved, it would be good to have a place to stash them...

[Dapper Dog]

There is just the hangar they came in and it's more for droid storage but they can move the broken stuff to make room.

[Bowze Coppa]

''I doubt we can make this hangar bigger unless...T-1 are there any onther such outposts or any other CIS facilities on Bankor and it's moons?''
