"...and we could find no trace of it anywhere," Bane is saying, "We did look so hard for it..."

OOC: Bane Malar rolled 12 using 1d20+7. Bluff.

Sora frowns, raising a skeptical eyebrow.

OOC: Sora Bulk rolled 14 using 1d20+1. Sense Motive.

"Anyway," Bane continues hastily, "We managed to make our way into the mining facility, which has a turbolift to the Market District. After that we will simply need to make it to my ship, unnoticed."

"Exactly," the cloaked figure agrees firmly, "The question is, how? The area is likely still crawling with the runts and the sock-faces."

"We still have those cloaks..."

The cloaked figure seems to be satisfied by this suggestion.

"Beep-beepity-beep," R5 beeps skeptically from the corner. Bane's work on him, while by no means extraordinary, seems to have got rid of the worst of the rust and grit, and the static in its beeps seems to have disappeared.

"Yes, I admit I don't trust him either," Bane acknowledges, "But I trust in his fear of you and your knowledge of his operations. I doubt he will try anything."

At that moment the lights of the room dim, and a siren begins to wail.

"Beep-beepity-boop?"

Bane shoots the droid what is doubtlessly a resentful glance under his helmet. He does not grace its query with a reply.

"All right," he says to rest of the party, rising, "I looks as if we have officially worn out our welcome."

"That slimy, double-crossing wretch..." mutters the cloaked figure as he snatches his blaster pistol from his nightstand.

Sora, whose lightsaber and blaster have both been traded off, picks up the hydrospanner from the tool kit left for Bane. He then follows the others out of the room.

As the trio and their astromech make their way down the corridor outside, they are met by five utai technicians who come into view at the far end of the corridor, squealing and waddling as fast as they can towards the guest quarters. The reason for their terror becomes apparent a moment later, as three security droids lumber into view a few meters behind them, blasting down the rearmost technician. The remaining four technicians manage to make it to the party hurrying into the guest quarters behind them.

"No imagination," says Bane critically as he slings up his blaster rifle.

"Should we defend the runts or hold off until after they are dead?" the cloaked figure asks meanly.

If Bane is grinning it is hidden by his helmet.

Sora glances disapprovingly at the cloaked figure, moving forward, hydrospanner raised.

The droids fire at the party, but their processors do not seem to contain particularly advanced targeting systems. Their blasts strike the walls and roof several meters from any of the party members.

Bane fires back, striking one of the droids in the head and sending it crashing to the floor.

OOC: Bane Malar dealt 12 points of damage to KM2-series Security Droid.

The cloaked figure also fires, taking down a second of the droids.

OOC: Zirak Derasir dealt 13 points of damage to KM2-series Security Droid.

Sora has charged forward, slamming his hydrospanner into the droid's head. The spanner cracks in half, spinning off down the corridor. The droid has a minor dent but appears otherwise unperturbed.

"Blast," mutters Sora as the droid prepares to fire.

Before the droid can fire, a shot from Bane whizzes past Sora's ear, striking the droid squarely in the chest. It collapses with a sizzling noise.

"I suggest you refrain from using improvised weapons in future," he says to Sora.

OOC: Bane Malar dealt 16 points of damage to KM2-series Security Droid.

"Perhaps you could lend me an actual weapon?" Sora replies coolly, gesturing at the unused blaster pistol in Bane's holster.

Bane places a defensive hand on the holster.

"I don't think things are that desperate yet."
