2.0 - Lure of the Lost

Dagger no longer has his glow rod, opting to give it away on the last planet. No longer being chased by a large creature he collects himself and unholsters his blaster.

I don't have one anymore. Anyone got a light?, Dagger asks as he peers as far into the cave as the light will shine.

"I don't have anything with me, no." Csillag answers as she checks her robe. If she's able to, Csillag will slowly approach the cave entrance and peek out at the beastie that was giving chase.

Dagger moves through the cave to an object he spots. Guys, we have a downed probe droid here!, he calls back as he bends down to inspect it. It looks pretty well battered, no doubt from our furry friend. We should stay sharp, chances are these probes are all around down here.

He spots something else and moves over to a comm relay that is inside the cave. I wonder if there is more than just probe droids down here...

Dagger moves back to the probe droid and starts tinkering with the busted droids computer systems.

Dagger slumps down on a rock to catch his breath. All the activity is finally getting to him.

I think we are definitely going to run into more of these. Probably sending communications back up with that relay, Dagger says.

Urik slumps back against the wall near Dagger. He hadn't wanted to admit how tired he was, but if Dagger is resting, he can too.

Heyop having caught his breath patted himself down and pulled a glow rod out of his pouch. With a soft "Oh." he flicked on the device and looked around. "Could we stop outgoing signals on the relay or delay them a few hours?" he asked looking at the electronics array and the droids... "Maybe we should take one with us... if we're going to explore further in." he added.

I can try and shut it down. I only hope they aren't checking in regularly, Dagger says. He puts his hands on his knees and pushes himself to standing, very reluctantly.

He walks over and finds the small data pad on the relay and starts trying to shut down the device.

Dagger steps back from the device which is still spitting out a spark here and there and making popping noises as it does. He looks back at Heyop, Well it's down. Unfortunately that probably isn't going to be coming back online.

Dagger shrugs and then draws his blaster again and heads further into the cave. Time to see what these droids are probing.

After catching a bit of rest herself Csillag will follow along with the others. She stops for a second at the downed droid and gives it a bit of a nudge with her foot as she passes. "Why are we going deeper into the cave again?"

Heyop grunts to Dagger a thanks, "I'd prefer to think that means one less thing that we'll run into down here. At least we have a door guard of sorts." before Csillag asked a valid question, "We're looking for crystals and I guess they'd be under ground... why here? Well if the Empire is checking out the area there's possibly something down here useful... better in our hands then theirs... at least in a small amount." he states realizing it would have been nice to bring a backpack.

Dagger will sneak down the smaller corridor, signaling the others to follow, but often not checking to make sure they do.

His general strategy is to find the most unassuming path, following his own internal logic. To him if the probe droids are still here and active in the area they are looking for something. But with no empire around they haven't found it yet. He assumes the most obvious looking paths would have been scanned by the probe droids already.

Following up from the center after Dagger while he scouts ahead Heyop's glowrod dances around keeping an eye on their surroundings and that everyone is still with the group.

Csillag will retain her position at the rear of the group. Stopping on occasion to keep a watch behind but never for long as she doesn't want to lose the glow of Heyop's glowstick up ahead.

Kaveri will remain on medium alert, recognizing that, with their glow rod, they're unlikely to sneak up on anything, but there's still the possibility that she could bag a probe droid or other threat before it raises an alarm.
