I modified Sonya's post to clarify she is looking at the lifeless crystals. She is assuming killing the Gatekeeper was not the key to opening the holocron and if it was it is probably not something they want to keep around.
Is there a chance anyone hears the human in the airlock?
LastAbys, Hard Perception check, upgraded once with DP
I'm the one Looking Alice

2eA+1eC+2eD
2 failures, 1 threat
You know, I just had an idea while I was driving home from work. If there is a glorified electronic lock, wouldn't there be an intercom. I'm willing to spend a DP for that if necessary.
Sure. I'll let you do that.
To clarify, I take it we are no longer in hyperspace, although we haven't been to the cockpit or near a window to figure it out yet...?
You guys want to me to do that, or just hold off?
Go for it man!
Correct. The ship is running on backup power right now. It should be fairly obvious that the main engines aren't on.
The ship arrived at the coordinates Rin hastily entered, dropped out of hyperspace, then eventually powered down when the computers and engines received no further commands. Not to mention, the computers suddenly ceased to detect life signs indicative of sentient humanoids.
Ok, so you spent a dark side to upgrade my check. I'm spending a light for the intercom. We're still at 3 Light and 6 dark, right?
Also, will post soonish.
That's correct, LastAbys
Got the post typed up, want me to lay it down or do you guys want to keep the Inquisition of Tok up for a bit longer?
Yates: Uhm...Help?
Tok: MURDER THE INTERLOPER
Eh, it'll be fine. . . .
Maybe. . . . .
*prepares to cold-cock Tok if he has to*
Well, while looking for the skills I'd let you guys have as class skills from the holocron, I discovered a couple forgotten gems in our established campaign canon.
1. There is still a deactivated, poorly maintained, 300 year old HK-55 laying on the floor in the passenger lounge.
2. The elderly Mandalorian woman sonovabith liked from the archaeological research ship is still skulking around somewhere.
I looked up the skills to see if any of you had accidentally removed them as class skills. Just a reminder, the Jedicicles and Xaramis still have either Mechanics or Piloting (Space) as a class skill from the holocron. That bonus didn't go away.
Nice, I'll return Mechanics to the sheet.
LastAbys don't be alarmed when Rin instinctively remembers how to use Bind in this interaction. Obviously it's a gut reaction and he will come around to you quickly, but given Rons gradual recovery from amnesia this seems like a perfect chance for a flashback.
Let me know if your not cool with Rin Binding Iskander for a round and I won't do it.
I gotta say, this is not the welcome party Iskander hoped for.
@Richard, sure, go ahead. Trust me, worse has happened to my characters in my RL group. Hey, just don't use the dark and we'll be hunky dory.
Yates: Uhm...Help?
Tok: MURDER THE INTERLOPER
Given what he's gone through, it's understandable he'd be a bit twitchy.
Ren-Do will attempt to Sense the content of the escape pod after getting to the airlock.
Bind power check : 2eF 2 Dark Side
Rin reaches instinctively for the Force, his hasty action is risky, and a memory will be triggered if him having a lesson advising thinking and planning rather than haste. He will react by letting go of his connection to the Force and not using it. Now I just need time to write it in IC!
I can't get it out tonight, it's just not coming together, so I'll finish it in the morning. Don't wait for me to post, I'll just fit it in.
Richard, I thought we agreed no Dark side.
Iskander's emotional state at the moment, right before the pistols to the face and the crunch of the force, is fear and sadness. During the incident of pistols and force, I would say a lot of fear.
Thats why he isn't actually going to use it. It will be a reminder of a lesson held millennia ago, that haste is not always the best plan. Im not activating the power.
I'm sorry about any wait. Work was a pain with inventory set up, just finished all the counting yesterday. I'm getting Iskander's first sight of the group posted.
Do any of the Jedi have Foresee?
