2.0 - Lure of the Lost

Dagger gets to the door at the end of the corridor, attempting to walk quietly and opens it. There's not much to see it's a storage room about the size of half a modest family speeder. A large crate is against one wall -- it looks sealed. Otherwise it's empty and it offers no other exit. That said, Dagger does see a reasonably sized air duct with its cover swung open. Perhaps some cleaning droid or what have you is dutifully making sure the air quality of the museum isn't going down hill. Dagger can easily squirm in and have some room to maneuver.

"Hey! I think I heard someone over there!" someone shouts.

Heyop, Csillag and Mal -- weapons on stun, get to Dagger's.. um.. expertly cut hole and peer inside carefully. They catch the tail end of a group of security guards heading down a corridor to the left. Presumably after some intruder. It doesn't take a Cerean to know whom they're after.

The patrolling guards clearly move into the corridor that Dagger has recently exited. "Check the rooms -- make sure he's not hiding in them." someone says, "You stay here." Dagger is able to hear a couple doors open. There's some moving about and one of the doors is promptly announced, "Clear!"

The other one apparently takes some time to check out. As Mal, Heyop and Csillag settle into the main bay, a door on the side opens, revealing a rather surprised security guard. "Hey!"

The guards who have spotted Mal, Csillag and Heyop are on point and ready to react. "There's three of 'em here!" one of the two guards shots before they fire with their carbines, set to stun, at the group. They target Csillag with their first shots and she is unable to steer clear of them. That said, they leave themselves in an awkward position after rushing to open fire.

Mal is quick to react and takes a shot at one of the two guards in the room. His blaster carbine throws a burst of shots into the room. A couple land on one of the guards and overwhelm him. He falls to the ground, unconscious. Mal's success heartens Csillag who receives a boost die from his action.Csillag also turns and fires. Her holdout blaster does its best to drop the second of the two guards assaulting the group, but although she lands a couple hits, he manages to stay standing -- though he looks concerned.

Dagger hunches down in his room ready to pounce.
