Fire and Ice (EE D4)

[Djanik]

Djanik observed silently.

He hoped the republic cache would be so well preserved.

Still, for now, he would let Bowze work, and just enjoy the cold.

Oh this was bracing.

Today was the best.

[Jabber]

Jabber pulls out his lockpicks.

"Let me know if that doesn't work. Sometimes, it's easier to try the simple way"

[Vaya Mer'darrow]

Vaya shivered, and said pessimistically "Unlikely there's a deadbolt, Jabber." Then she brightened up. "Archaeologically speaking, a place like this is great for preservation. Deserts always are, and in many ways, cold deserts are even better than hot deserts. There's this famous example of a natural mummy found in a mountain range on Brentall IV, it's actually sort of a murder mystery...."

[Bowze Coppa]

Bowze checked the pannel...then entered his codes

The door starts to open fracturing ice and leaves a large yawning entrance and inside lights start to come along many do not, but enough to show rusted frozen wrecks of droids and equipment in this hangar bay.

[Djanik]

Stepping inside, Djanik whistled.

"Not quite as weatherproof as we hoped, then."

[Bowze Coppa]

"Indeed... probably due to he CIS's top brass tendency to cut corners." Bowze said, following in "Let's check the conditions of this place."

[Jabber]

"Yar. And if there's anything worth salvaging." Jabber walks through the doorway, glowing eyes peeled for profit.

[Dapper Dog]

There is a single door on the opposite side of this hangar and it is closed.

[Bowze Coppa]

''Droids might be...if anything else this is a good secret base'' The general looked around, to see if this place could be salvaged. Noticing the door he moved towards it to see if it could be opened.

[Djanik]

Djanik followed, though he had drawn his pistol, now on alert.

"You don't' suppose any of them would still be active, do you?"

Years of training told him that being surrounded by droids, even seemingly inactive ones, was extremely dangerous.

[Bowze Coppa]

"Perhaps...but I doubt it." The nemoidian did not share the same aversion. In fact he was... comfortable...like coming home in a way.

[Jabber]

Jabber starts investigating the door, trying to see how it is shut and if it's locked.

[Dapper Dog]

The door has a control panel next to it that is online and seems operational.

[Jabber]

Jabber steadies a hand on a blaster and nods back at the others before tapping the control panel, unable to resist his curiosity of what lay beyond.

[Bowze Coppa]

The nemoidian looked at the Jawa

''That seems promising...but be careful. I should go in first.''

[Jabber]

"Sure thing Bowze...I'll just have a blaster trained on whatever steps out in case it forgot you." Jabber gestures with his blaster pistol.

[Bowze Coppa]

Bowze entered his codes once more to see if the door would open, stepping in if so.

[Vaya Mer'darrow]

Vaya grimaced and kept her hands free, rather than drawing the slim pistol she'd strapped to the outside of her cold weather gear. "I usually am looking at places old enough the biggest risk is something breaks and falls on you," she said, and then glanced at the ceiling. "Not that that's impossible."

[Dapper Dog]

The door slides open into a hallway going left and right, lights start to come on and then alert klaxons sound and a garbled message comes over the speakers but it is unintelligible but the klaxons are deafening.

[Jabber]

"Iiiiiis this normal Bowse? Jabber asks, his gaze flickering over to the Nemoidian

[Bowze Coppa]

"I would think not...maybe the earthquake rippled further then we felt."

As he said it he unfastened his cloak and flung it behind his shoulders to reveal a CIS uniform bearing the markings of a general.

"We have no choice but to check it out." His hand moved to his pistol as he moved ahead, wary.

[Vaya Mer'darrow]

"Yup," said Vaya, glancing behind to make sure no doors had closed behind them. "Definitely no choice." But she followed, pulling out an odd set of binocs and peering around.

Ooc: perception check? Infrabinocs detect heat, including through walls.

[Djanik]

Djanik lowered his own goggles, also able to pick up strong heat or power surges, taking up the last spot in the little gang.

[Dapper Dog]

No heat sources besides themselves at the moment but the klaxons keep going, Bowze could recognize the layout and was sure central command should be nearby...
