Mechanical HYDRAs (EA, D6)

[Dapper Dog]

OOC: Negotiation check at Hard please.

[Juri Saizesh]

For her part, Juri listened quietly. "Whatever information you have, you would not have to try and formulate the serum on your own. I have insights on the progenitor of the virus, and the skill to work with it." She spoke confidently, supporting whoever would be doing the negotiating.

Ooc: maneuver aid another +1eB

[Vaya Mer'darrow]

“Whatever we’re dealing with, it’s very, very old,” murmured Vaya to the group. “Like, pre-Ruusan old.” She said that like she expected all of them to be impressed, then explained somewhat testily. “You know, the Ruusan reformations? Foundation of the Republic as we knew it? Anyway, thousands of years.”

[Jabber]

Jabber nods a bit.

"Ahhh, I see...a follower on the ancient customs of Acquisition. You are indeed correct that it is unwise to give something in exchange for nothing. However, do you take stock of "opportunity cost"...that is to say, what opportunities you do not have for further success and acquisition by dealing with another issue."

"Right now, you have an eager buyer...with the potential for long term profit! And with your superior lifespan, you can maximize those benefits...but if they die, well, all leverage you have is gone. So...shall we make a deal?"

Negotiating with HYDRA-Hard Negotiation with HYRRA, Boost from Juri, Triumph from Valuable Facts: 1eP+3eA+1eB+3eD 0 successes, 1 advantage


One advantage and Triumph (which adds one success to barely pass?)

[Dapper Dog]

A turbo-lift door opens across the open factory floor from the group.

[Juri Saizesh]

“Whatever we’re dealing with, it’s very, very old,” murmured Vaya to the group. “Like, pre-Ruusan old.” She said that like she expected all of them to be impressed, then explained somewhat testily. “You know, the Ruusan reformations? Foundation of the Republic as we knew it? Anyway, thousands of years.”

Juri smiled at the Balosar, quite impressed by those valuable facts. She would move with the group, and leaned closer to her friend.

"I should make you some earrings sometime..."

[Bowze Coppa]

Bowze looked at the other people assembled and nodded, stepping towards the elevator

[Jabber]

Jabber follows them through the door

[Vaya Mer'darrow]

Vaya sent Juri an unreadable sidelong glance and followed.

[Dapper Dog]

The lift up brings them to a a circular room that was probably the foreman's office was now filled to the ceiling with computer terminals and cables snaking to a central kneeling figure a female droid.


HYDRA spoke through the speaker system, "I find your terms acceptable General Gunray, and I have a counter proposal, the Metallic Unity join forces with your CIS."

[Bowze Coppa]

Bowze raises an eyebrow

''What is the metallic unity?'' he asks with interest

[Dapper Dog]

"I have assembled droids that wish to no longer simply serve organics but treated as equals, we are one voice, my voice," she replied.

[Bowze Coppa]

The nemoidian was surprised...free droids? It was certain there where a few droids in the outer rim that worked for their own profit but...a movement?

He looked thoughtful...The CIS did have a fantastic amount of droid at one time...the implications where quite heavy.

''That is quite unsual...but not unheard of.'' he began ''And the CIS should always have stood for the inherent freedom and dignity of it's constituants.''

he paused

''I doubt the old council would have considered droids in this equation, however.'' he steepled his fingers ''But it perhaps it should have.''

Something in his mind told him that it was a bad idea...something else told him that he might be an hypocrite, all things considered

''I accept. I look forward to see where this shall lead us.''

[Dapper Dog]

"Our consensus has a positive response to that notion," HYDRA responded.

It then produced a data chit, "You were wanting this?"

[Vaya Mer'darrow]

Vaya stepped forward to put it into her datapad. Hopefully it wouldn't be a, haha, virus....

[Dapper Dog]

It was reams of data from Czerka and possible formula prototypes for a cure.

OOC: This will grant two upgrades and a boost die to making the cure, Medicine at Daunting with two setbacks instead of Impossible. Need a lab though.

[Vaya Mer'darrow]

Vaya parsed the data as quickly as possible, letting Juri and whoever else could fit look over her shoulder.

"Where do we find a lab?" she wondered aloud.

[Jabber]

OOC: Knowledge Underworld for an underground lab?

[Djanik]

Djanik was amused by how quickly he had been shuffled aside.

Still, they had information in hand and that was critical.

He just prayed it might be enough.

[Dapper Dog]

OOC: Knowledge Underworld for an underground lab?

OOC: Average check.

[Jabber]

"Well, I know plenty of labs...well, technically drug dens..." Jabber starts to rattle off a few locations, and he can see Vaya become more and more depressed.

"OK, so maybe criminal labs aren't the best place to do groundbreaking medical research. Unless..." Jabber huddles up with Vaya and they start muttering in hushed tones.

Jabber/Vaya combo roll: Vaya's Intellect, Jabber's skill rank-Average Underworld: 1eP+3eA+2eD 1 failure, 3 advantage

OOC: No illegal place, but maybe a smart alternative?

[Dapper Dog]

There is a clinic nearby run by servants of the Disciple, it's actually a body chop shop and a place to go if you want illegal implants.

[Djanik]

local medical labs check, untrained: 3eA+2eD+1eS 2 failures, 1 advantage


Djanik thought about it, and could only contribute that they did try experimental stuff there, he'd heard.

Had to chase some of the street kids away from trying to go there.

[Bowze Coppa]

Medical lab? Knowledge: 4eA+2eD+1eB 2 failures, 6 advantage


"The empire certainly has one..."

[Vaya Mer'darrow]

Vaya massaged her temples. "All of these ideas are terrible." She sighed. "But we've got no time, and some credits, and the Disciple likes those, probably. Let's go to this chop shop and try to make a deal.

"We can't let anyone have this, though," she gestured with her datapad, the chip still inserted. "You saw what Czerka was doing with this stuff. Better to formulate a cure, save the data on that, and fry this with a blaster."

She looked at Juri. "What do you think? Can you work under those conditions?"
