M3: At the Ship
Meanwhile, while the away team is handling issues in the pressure dome, Forim Luk and Roger wait in the ship. There is always something to do on a ship. On a stock ship in good repair, there are endless system reports to review, routine maintenance to perform, subsystems to calibrate, and diagnostics to run. On a ship that has been modified, with a long history of use, these tasks are impeded by various jury-rigs and 'improvements.'
Roger and Forim are in the middle of a check of the repulsorlift drive coil. Roger is in the cockpit, monitoring Forim's progress remotely while keeping an eye on the sensors. Forim is elbow-deep in a serpent's nest of wires, which at some point in the ship's history replaced the pop-out circuit board that should be there. The two are communicating by the ship's intercom.
Forim is checking one of the wires when he sees the confiscated R2 droid, Hypno, rolling by the engineering section. The black droid rolls by quietly, its spiral-painted dome facing forward.
