give me a perception roll 4 purples

Yorik picked up his pace and moved forward less cautiously.

"Hey, that could be the cybernetics specialist, Dr. Anderson..."

Perception check : 4eD+1eP+2eA 0 successes, 1 advantage

(Can i spend adv to know where directionally it is coming from?)

you make out an odd looking (helmet?) pop into view then lower.

the creature lunges towards the individual ... ( i guess were in combat) so durrak's, action has priority ) then creature

After Durrak hurled his diskblade, Yorik followed up with a quick burst from Confidence and blasted the creature as he drew its attention toward him. (Same plan is still in effect. Yorik will act as bait to draw the monster away from his companions while relying upon his superior defenses...)

Attacking the monster
Results	3eP+1eB+2eD : 5 successes, 1 threat [3eP=S/S, S/A, S/S] [1eB=-] [2eD=Th, Th] That would be 16 Damage... Even with Soak that's going to hurt it..

We're gonna need a bigger monster.... luckily for you guys this isnt that ( durrak needs 2 points to kill the thing)

While Durrak and Yorik quickly dispatch the predator, Astrid approaches it's would-be prey. Dr Ferguson , I believe? We're here to escort you out of here.

Saber throw

4 success 1 threat a darkside point

Durrak throws his discblade at the beast. He gets a nice solid hit. But the darkside prevents him from calling his blade back to him.

"Nice kill, Durrak!" Yorik said strongly so that it echoed throughout the hallway. "Way to go, man..." Then, calling out to the figure on the other side of the barricade, "Dr. Anderson, we're here to rescue you! Come with us if you want to live!"

He then moved to get a closer look at exactly what kind of beast they had just put down...

Shard hands out his presents like a demented santa. His crooked smile flashing across his face each time he dips into his bag of tricks.

For you ma'am, don't need our fearless leaderess getting scared do we?

He hands the device to Astrid.

Put it on the nap of your neck. It'll generate a field when elevated levels of fear response are generated. It'll help keep a calm and level head, and suppose may even help with dark side illusions... We'll see... eh?

He dips into his bag again.

Doctor... Doctor, I'm here to give you some news, in case you have a bad case of the scardy-whose, this might tamp it down a bit.

He jestures to the back of the neck.

Right their, just plop it on, anti fear field and all that jizz...

Durrak! Our single sentence samurai! Even are steadfast stalwart like yourself needs help now and again! Slap this on the nap of your neck and presto a little more control over your fear... We'll need it here.

He continues walking up the line of the group to Yorrik.

So how'd you like confidence to be less of a metaphor and more a reality? Intrigued? Well slap this onto your lil friend. This works a bit differently then the others. Its powered by your guns energy cells, and it'll give you a slight shock through the handle a calibrated energy wave that will decrease the fear response starting with your trigger finger!

Confidence now truly does inspire confidence!

Anderson. Of course. Astrid rolls her eyes, and wonders at the being before them ... f rom beyond dark space... perhaps Dr Anderson has no presence in the Force?!

Dr Anderson? You have knowledge we desperately need.. Kull is close. And he must not find the Eye of the Broken God ! Tell us what you know.

Becoming more used to the eccentricities of their Omwati friend, she does not bat an eye at Zyi's unexpected gift, and pauses to press the patch into place. Thanks!

Please enlighten us, on our way, Doctor.. Unless you'd prefer to remain here?

Bennar had been in a daze since landing on the planet. I feel like I know that man. Who was he? He didn't seem to know me. Why do I know him? Trusting his companions to get him where he needed to go, he allowed his mind to wander. Perhaps if he had been younger? Yes, that was it! His 18 year old brother has grown up and is now an officer! That's got to be it... Edric! I'm going to find you again once we finish this. Bennar thought about using that flare before the entered the temple just to see if he would come, but knew this was a military operation and brought his focus back to the moment.

As they entered he listened to what his companions said, and based on his own observations everything was on point. Wait, what's that ahead? He also readies his weapon, but Durrak manages to take it down so Bennar lowers his rifle as the two hits from his companions seemed to be enough. As they come up to the stranger Astrid recognizes him and Bennar does a quick visual checkup to asses his physical condition. It looks like we got to him before that monster did. ( @April should I make a roll for that? I'm assuming physically he is mostly ok, but emotionally/mentally might be a different story. If he does need medical attention I'll do some basic first aid and make a roll.)

(Sorry I disappeared for a week, lost track of time. XD This should get me caught up to the action.)

Durrak replies " I only need one sentence. " and then goes to retrieve his discblade.

Dr Anderson looks unusual, imagine an old crt tv the size of a toaster, attached to some kind of humanoid body, that's how he looks

" Query: friend or Foe?.... Superstition : Friend? ... 50%... Ally ... Calculating.... 65%.... odds acceptable "

" Answer: Broken god... Old machine broken into parts... Due to serious Data Corrosion.... Caused Wars, Death of many Data bites.... Follow up Question: Why You save Anderson? "

Anderson stands up... and walks to an old looking platform... " Conclusion: Eye missing... Location... Unkown.... Chance of galaxy corruption 78..99999999% and rising...."

We have come to save you Dr. Anderson... We need your help.

Interesting work you've done on yourself.

Shard taps his noggin the metal of his finger resounding on the housing of his brain implant.

I'm familiar with the field.

Yorik mused aloud, "Dr. Anderson, we've been sent to save you by our employer, a Mr. Zando. Now, I'm beginning to suspect why.... Could this machine that was broken into many parts be the size of a battle cruiser? Was it sentient enough to possibly inhabit various cloned bodies given enough resources and time?"

Yorik gave side glances to Astrid and Shard in reference to their time aboard Zando's ship and the monstrous machine that had taken over Zando's operations.

"Querry: You have seen It??....Situation extreme... Negotiate Alliance: Broken god must not be allowed to reassemble... Can provide Disruption Technologies in exchange for Aid in Defeating Biological Abnormality...

Explanation: Biological Creature Designation: Insanire has breached the void between galaxies ... Conclusion: Must Stop before Hostilities Escalate into Systematic Hardwipe of all life in Galaxy...

Addendum : Great intelligence Wants peacefull Coexistence: Acceptable to Biologicals?

Query Answer: I was not constructed this way. I was modified this way... Without consent.

Zyi looks at the ground then back up to the "cyberneticist".

I have adapted to the modification and advanced its development.

Query Answer: We have seen it, it is enormous. It is very destructive.

Query Answer: If by "organics" you mean by us, affirmative. High level priority protocal is Peaceful Co-Existance. Its much preferable to a hard wipe of life.

Query: What is the nature and origin of of the biological creature designated as Insanire?

Query expanded: What is Insanire's relationship to the force, as defined by jedi scholars.

Query: What is the nature and origin of the crypto life form designated as "the broken God"?

Query expanded: Is "the broken God" mechanical, organic, or other in composition?

Query logic stipulation: If other in composition, what is the nature of other? What is the composition's relationship to the force, as defined by Jedi scholars?

Zyi's head twitches as each query is relayed to Dr. Anderson

Aye hovers above the space that seperates the two. As Zyi approaches closer, the droid descends lower.

Query: What are the terms for your alliance?

Query Expanded: Organics often confirm intent by a clasping each other's hand/manipulators and shaking the vertically for a duration of 2-6 seconds. May we confirm intent to form an Alliance as defined by organics as aforementioned?

( would you be able to process Binary? or SW equivalent? )

(Technically i do not have the speaks binary talent. However narratively I'd say yes. Having had spent a lot of time slaved to a computer for the hutts he would have learned. Plus im sure the brain implant can translate anyways.)

Glad you find the odds acceptable, Doctor, and a mutually beneficial peaceful coexistence with you is certainly our immediate goal.

Durrak would be proud. I only need a single sentence myself, sometimes.

" Clarification ; Insanire is beyond Understanding of even the Great Intelligence.

Apology; Insanire Breached Reality after Previous Leadership Sic; BrokenGod sought to meld flesh with metal... " he looks like he was going to say more but stops himself

" Action Symbolic gesture insignificant, Require Leadership, to sign documentation of peace treaty.. and possible alliance

Solution; agree to primitive gesture as acceptance to aid you stopping both Broken God and Insanire; But no more until Offical document signed; Acceptance?

Apology: force?... unknown concept... please clarify

in addition, he relays that the great intelligence can fix him so the modifications will be undone, in binary ... that no creature should be modified this way forcefully, however, he says he will not discuss this until Insanire and the "god" are defeated

" probability of failure is now at 84%... At 98% great Intelligence will begin to deploy countermeasures to prevent spread of Corruption "

Everybody hears save Anderson who completely ignores the voice

" so you have come then... Do you like my prison?...." at the far end lies a throne with some kind of figure seated " tell me are you scared to be on the homeworld of the Sith... are you quaking in your booties?... do you not shiver in fear?... No I suppose you do not Master Yorik "

We do not wear booties! Wholly impractical for fleeing in fear. Astrid exclaims, though a quick look reveals Durrak's footwear to be dangerously booty-like. She shrugs and tilts her head at the figure on the throne.

I've read a lot of historical writings, and it is hardly an original analogy: The responsibilities of rulership weighing, like a ball and chain, a virtual cell.. but that's not what we're talking about here, is it? Tell us. Should we be afraid?

Yorik stared into the shadows at the ominous figure. He could see it clearly gazing back at them from the darkness with its orange glowing eyes even though it didn't register any heat signature according to his suit's thermal scanners. Still, that wouldn't make this Force ghost any less dangerous or deadly.

"You won't win, you know... We've come here to stop you and your minions. Every time we meet, we grow stronger while you're the one who must give ground and you'll do so again here. In fact, we now have not one but two more resources that can and will help us stop you. "

"Fear may be your greatest power, Insanire. But, knowledge beats fear every time and we now have both the knowledge and resources of Dr. Anderson and the Leper King to help us defeat you this time. We're now on Korriban and yes it is your prison. But, not in the way that you mean. It will become your final prison just before we end you for good."
