You notice a odd metal device... it looks antiquated and covered in grime... you would need to use your tools to accurately uncover exactly what it is.

Kull's death scream echoes in a few of your minds causing some nausea, but nothing too extreme...

Then through all the madness... the static... " Mr Shard, Yorrik, Durrak.... can you hear me? "

He voice its your old master...Sar Agorn

Master Sar ? How is that possible ?

* Master! Are you alright? Where are you? Tell us and we're on our way!*

as you bypass the bugs who seem to be more interested in fleeing than attacking you... you come across a large chamber... there beating looks like some gigantic heart..., it is flanked either side by something many times larger than a Krayt dragon, and the acolyte of screaming.

on the other side is a rather odd looking device haphazardly put together, you notice the stolen cube from your ship, as well as other components

" Observation: too late.. the God is 97% complete....." says Anderson

you overhear the two talking " yes sterilization of existing organics must happen, To give birth to our new order all must be biomechoformed" ( says the machine in the voice of a little girl)

" No!. We must allow some to live so they can Know pain and madness!! " says a voice from everywhere

" madness is fleeting... " says the child

"Please, you were broken up by a bunch of calculators, " the voice starts.. then stops if noticing something but ignoring it.

"you can kill 60 %," says the voice from everywhere "i want some organics to feed off, the illusion of freedom gives them a pleasant taste... "

" 95%...."

" you want me to starve you moronic bunch of circuits... I need food" the voice becomes angrier

" then I will make you some..." she says

" i cant eat silicon, you freak!"

Yorik hid behind cover and telepathically communicated to his companions, * We must drive a wedge between them. Shard, Doc, Dr. B, can you have your droids attack Insanire so that he thinks the Broken God is behind the assault?*

You'll need to roll a deception /skuldugery roll for each droid against 2purple, 1red (can't use any force powers to boost )

Hmm.. A fairly transparent ruse, to be sure..? And not a stratagem I think Spy-D can pull off.

Astrid catches the pause, and attempts to discern the meaning behind it. Has our presence been detected?

Description Perception
Results 2eA+1eP+1eB+2eD+1eC : 0 successes, 2 advantage [2eA=S/A, -] [1eP=S/A] [1eB=S/A] [2eD=Th, F] [1eC=F/F]

She cannot be certain.

Glancing over at Spy-D, she knows this is something she must do herself. A desperate plan begins to take shape in her head...

ill give it you yeah you've been spotted , but your unsure by whom

Well.. It's not like we've had the element of surprise, from the beginning.

Squaring her shoulders, Astrid strides forth from the shadows, approaching the bickering monstrosities. Stopping short, she addresses the machine-god, and tries not to think about the looming creatures at either side. Mother. Kull has been dealt with, and I am ready to take my rightful place at your side. She pauses for effect, fire in her eyes. Her eyes dart pointedly to Insanire, then swiftly back, before she continues with an almost hysterical edge in her voice: Why have you not handled your side of things? You promised! It is not difficult for her to pour real emotion into her voice, as she nearly screams the final words at the machine with the voice of a girl.

(Shall I roll for Deception? Still 2 purples, 1 red?)

I prefer a straight fight rather that all this trickery Durrak thought to himself. Let's see how this goes before settling this with my discblade he also thought.

( Can @TheShard and @jnrschulz and @TheGuardian118 please make there rolls...

Before you torch stuff..please? )

Bennar is walking down the corridors.... How did I get seperated from the others? This isn't good. He tries to get them on the comlink, but something or someone is causing interference at this distance. Rifle at the ready, he pushes forward through the winding halls that seem to shrink in on him as he goes. What are those strange creatures? They don't seem hostile, but they seem to merge together when they touch. Better avoid them. He manages to avoid them and eventually there's a chirp in his comlink. He attempts to triangulate which direction it's coming from, which ends up looking like he is walking around in a fifteen foot circle for a couple minutes. There it's a touch louder; nope step over there and it's gone. Here! That direction it seems strongest! After he gets a bearing, he hears the sounds of his comrades as they are about to enter a large chamber.

Guys, what's going on here? This is it, isn't it? This is what we've come to destroy. He joins the others and is quickly updated on the plan, at least what part of a plan they've figured up to this point.

(Here's that discipline roll)

Discipline : 2eA+1eB+2eD 2 failures, 3 advantage

(yeah, but you can use whatever boosts you wish, just droids don't use force powers)

Here lies Doctor Astrid Andunie the Impudent...

She feels she should be by your side broken god. This... Feeder here...

He gestures at insanire.

Has their own trajectory, the data just doesn't align. You must know the probability of incompatibility.

We can serve your purpose. I have insufficiently but humbly attempted to approximate your directive.

Astrid's expression softens somewhat, as does her tone. Indeed. Even I have begun my transformation. Turning her head toward the machine-god, she reveals the device at the nape of her neck. You know Insanire will never be satisfied with your scraps. Let us be finished with him!

The mechanical creature looks towards you, but otherwise remains silent.

"Must I DEAL WITH THESE WHELPS MYSELF... " says the booming voice

" wait... Kill Anderson, prove your loyalty " says the clockwork creature

"Kill Insanire and prove our loyalty? At once, sir!" Yorik said intentionally as he happily misinterpreted the words of the machine.

Then firing from Cover with Confidence on full autofire, he aimed and shot at Insanire.... (Actually, can I use a Destiny Point to decrease the difficulty of hitting him?

As soon as she hears Yorik's voice, she knows what is coming. Letting her Lancer fall to the floor, she draws a noise grenade from her bag of tricks. Activating it, she lines up her throw and sends it arcing toward Insanire. Sort of. Horseshoes and hand grenades, huh?

@April Could the single Advantage possibly trigger the Concussive 1 quality, due to the Miraluka's purported heightened senses?

@Yorik Vonn , results: :success: 3 :advantage: 1 :triumph: 1
Counting what I rolled in Discord... :)
I'd like to thoroughly enjoy this moment of TRIUMPH when I blast the Acolyte, Insanire, right through his melon please... :) & activating Autofire because of the additional advantage provided by the Laser Sight to this roll... I'd like to apply that 2nd amount of damage directly to his body...
(I'm so glad I decided to roll in Discord for us all to see lol )
