If anything Chullka might have something in that,backpack/butt bag he is often lugging around. Looking at the magnetic coils and pylons at one end you spot a few parts of a droid in the shadows. A power pack and a droid converter would do the trick too.

(where will you look first?)

Yuher moves over to the droid to check it out.
He calls up to the others, "Chullka! Do you have a spare power pack in that bag of yours? It looks like there's a dismantled droid down here. I'm gonna see if the motivator unit is still in good shape."

In reply to Yuher Tru'sar (msg # 876):

"Von,doma Yoka," says Chullka as he reaches into his pouch. After a second or two of rummaging around he holds up a generic power cell from a Sullustian mega corp. He then tosses down to you , Chullkas eyes wide and teeth in a grin as he anticipates the lifts power coming online.

In reply to Chullka (msg # 877):

"You see anything usful down there ,Yuher?" calls La'Fenna. Leaning over the drop. Almost inching half way out.

---

Sorry! I could've sworn I made a post on Friday... Too busy this month, and probably for the rest of the year after it. lol

---

Yuher catches the cell absent-mindedly with one hand as he leans down to examine the pile of droid parts more closely. For several minutes, he says nothing at all, and when La'Fenna speaks, he starts and looks up at his friends with a sheepish grin.
"Sorry about that!" he apologized. "It's an old Okara Droids maintenance model like one I had growing up. The servos look okay, but... I don't know. I don't know whether the droid brain is still working, but I don't think it'd take too much work to get the body running." He laughs. "Sorry. It was a good model. Seems like a shame to salvage it... I'm just being silly. Hold on. I'll get those motivators."
He goes to work extracting the parts he needs.

In reply to Yuher Tru'sar (msg # 879):

lool same here,but such is the burden of adulting. I will try and stay on top of gaming tho,....all work and no play and all that jazz.


Ok. While working with the droid parts you find a data card. Old and battered but it could but read still in a data pad. As to the droid,..how and what approach will you be making?

Yuher pockets the card for later examination. He's going to do Clever again (+2) for his approach:

19:08, Today: Yuher Tru'sar rolled +5 using 4 Fudge dice ((1, 0, 1, 1)).

Wow! So... about fixing that maintenance droid... lol :)

In reply to Yuher Tru'sar (msg # 881):

That was a great roll! :)

The droids old servos and systems kick on with such a jolt that it looks for a second that it will fly up to Chullka and La'Fenna. It's heavy body remains earthbound however it does kick up a fair amount of dust and dirt. It's photo receptors flash bright and it flails it's arms for a second or two. Seeing Yuher standing there it turns it's blocky head towards him.
"Oh!" It says noticing Yuhers mode of dress and it's receptors lingering on his lightsaber. "Master Jedi! I am B4-86. How may I be of service?" It says this several times its vocalizer rough and broken sounding. With each attempt a measure of understanding  and proper pitch and inflection is added.

Yuher flashes a grin at the droid. "Greetings, B4-86. I am Yuher Tru'sar. Are you fully functional?"

In reply to Yuher Tru'sar (msg # 883):

"I appear so ,sir. All my systems are functional at least it appears so. I am however receiving massive updates and it is taxing my processors atm. Did you require my service?"

With that the droid moves in a bit, dirt and insect parts falling from his joints.

The Bothan sighs. "An easy job, I hope. I need your help getting this lift moving. See my friends up there?"
He points up to the top, where Fenn and Chullka are watching.
"Think you can handle that while you're running updates?"

In reply to Yuher Tru'sar (msg # 885):

The droid moves his head up craning his neck and then looking at the far wall states. "Indeed sir! I have the ability to patch into the lift and raise it to your companions. I shall also be able to take you as far down or up as you choose. My internal power sources are enough to do so." With that he extends a power connector probe from his wrist and after moving to the power socket of the lift,you see the power meter indicator move from red to yellow then to green.
After this you feel the lift lurch and begin moving upwards. Looking at you the droid says pointing to an open hatch on the top of the list,"Let us make our way inside the lift sir. Once at the top floor your friends can enter that way accordingly."

"Very good, B4-86. Thank you."
He moves in as indicated.
"Easy going, B4. Don't strain yourself until you're up to speed. Just let me know if you need me to do anything."

In reply to Yuher Tru'sar (msg # 887):

"Thank you for your concern sir,and I will certainly inform you it anything transpires," He stops the lift letting Chullka and La'Fenna drop down into the lift hatch.
"Good thing this droid was around otherwise this descent would have been much worse," says La'Fenna brushing away grit and grime. "Take us to sub-level, 13-C", she tells the droid and the lift begins moving down.

Yuher rocks back on his heels and stands at parade rest, hands folded behind his back, as the lift moves.
"You really think this plan is going to work?" he asks Fenn offhandedly. "Feels like we've got a lot riding on your friend being able to sway the Council."
He watches her sideways to catch her reaction.

In reply to Yuher Tru'sar (msg # 889):

" He wants the warren free of outside influence. Right now I am more concerned with his less then being happy about becoming a clan head member. Most of his dealings in warren politics has left a bad taste in him mouth."
"My peoples politics are a mire of machiavellian dealings"

Yuher laughs bleakly.
"Tell me about it. My parents weren't big on Bothan politics. When I was very small, I remember they warned me about the dangers of deceit and intrigue. They..." He snorts. "Well. Let's just say they weren't very popular, back home. When I went to the Temple I cut all ties with them, of course. I tried looking them up when I left the Order. Turns out, it didn't even take them a year after I left before they got themselves disappeared."
It takes him a moment before he concludes, "Just as well I left, I suppose."

In reply to Yuher Tru'sar (msg # 891):

"Car'Lorn and I had many things in common coming up. One of them being both of our families were on opposite sides of the spectrum of warren politics. They loathed each other. We always felt that by us being friends and all the other stuff that came later. We were in fact and in our minds defying our families. They were of course furious , which only made us more defiant."
Looking at you she adds.
"When Car'lorn refused to be clan head and instead joined our defense force. His family disowned him. He could have had it all wealth ,power,influence. Instead he enlisted and I ran away when I felt he had scorned me for the good of the warren . Choosing service rather then me. He swore it wasn't like that at all,that there were reasons and if I just gave it enough time, he would complete what he had set out to do and we could be together. I instead ran away forsaking him and the dream."
"It hasn't been easy for him. seems in my absence there,..they both are families while not outright moving against him,have done enough from secret and shadow to hamper him. Now I am back,...which complicates things. "Giving" me to drool chops here,(she points to Chullka), was just another dig at me and him."

A sly smile twists up the Bothan's lips. He trails down Fenna's arm lightly with one fingertip.
"Car'Lorn isn't as smart as he looks, then. I certainly wouldn't have forgotten you over a bunch of sweaty soldiers. You're much more fun when you're sweaty."
He takes back his hand.
"Ooh. Sorry," he teases. "I forget. You're an owned woman now."

In reply to Yuher Tru'sar (msg # 893):

At the mention of sweat Chullka pulls out a cloth and wipes his face and brow. Turning to you both he smiles another of his square toothed grins and says,"Been a long time since I owned a mate. I am going to have to make sure there are plenty of funds to have  both taken cared of."
La'Fenna does not seem to notice what he said as she is to busy blushing with a smug smile on her face at Yuher's comment." Oh Yuher, you say the most teasing and naughty things." says La'Fenna stroking one of her head tails. "As for Car'Lorn. His first love will always be his people. In that way he may be one of the noblest of those in our warrens." Before she can continue B4-86 chimes in,"Master Jedi, I believe there is only a 2% chance that a coupling with the twilekian female would produce a viable offspring. That being if certain medical mutagens were implanted into her reproductive systems  within 120 minutes in galactic Coruscant time after or before the act. I have the data and contact information of a certain medical center on the world of Kamino that has had some success with couples of such distant genome. If data serves you could increase the chances by 15%. I should have that centers information in less then a minute." The entire lift is filled with the beeps and clicks as he accesses the data.

Yuher opens his eyes wide in interest that isn't even slightly ironic. In a very earnest tone and with a straight face, he answers, "Thank you, B4, that's very helpful. I don't need the information, though. If the chances are only 2%, we'd just have to try a lot harder. And much more often. That all sounds fine to me."
He gives Fenna a sideways grin and winks at Chullka.

In reply to Yuher Tru'sar (msg # 895):

The lift finally settles and you all are introduced to another pair of surly, Trandoshans each carrying sawed off heavy scatter slug throwers. "Visitorsss", one says. "You must pay a toll to the Krayt gang to proceed. Lest you lose your skin." It chuckles as both rub their weapons in glee

Yuher shrugs expressively and shoots Chullka a look, then quickdraws his lightsaber and tries to chop the first guy's gun in half before he can get a shot off.

Using a Quick (+3) approach:
22:46, Today: Yuher Tru'sar rolled +0 using 4 Fudge dice ((-1, -1, 0, -1)).

Well, that wasn't great. I think I'm gonna have to spend a Fate point to reroll that.

Take 2 at +3:
22:49, Today: Yuher Tru'sar rolled +2 using 4 Fudge dice ((-1, 0, 0, 0)).

Hm. Better, anyway. Yuher has 3 Fate Points left.

In reply to Yuher Tru'sar (msg # 897):

the NPC thugs, rolled 2 using 4 Fudge dice ((-1, 1, 1, 1))
The thug you disarmed backs up unfazed and draws another slug thrower,...... this on a pistol and takes aim. The other draws a bead and,.....

Chullka rolled 2 using 4 Fudge dice ((1, -1, 1, 1)) Chullka is going to use a "blaster Fu" attack to lay down random cover fire, get some distance from them and the party. So the party has and can maneuver, He is going to hold his action for a split second tho.
La'fenna Tacha rolled -3 using 4 Fudge dice ((-1, 0, -1, -1))

(Oh Boy, she either falls drawing a weapon face down  OR she is a sitting duck)

Meanwhile B4-86 is exclaiming "No blasters!"

Gonna go with a Forceful (+2) approach on this:
09:09, Today: Yuher Tru'sar rolled +6 using 4 Fudge dice ((1, 1, 1, 1)).
Yesss!

La'Fenna stumbles off a dodge and trips on a broken section of grating, toppling toward the edge of the platform. Yuher hops backward and snatches her around the waist before she can fall. Then he leaps out of the lift and off to one side of the Trandoshans, swatting away a blaster bolt with his lightsaber.
"Get in cover!" he yells to Fenn as he advances on the brutes and draws their fire.
