Tomas's nervousness grows at the suggestion of destroying the transformer. He mostly hides his anxiety, but some of it bleeds through. He strongly hopes Meebo comes up with an alternative.

Meebo continues stealthily down the fence line, looking for an alternate way in, or possibly an easy, safe way to make a distraction.

AD-hoc answers Ken "Let's try to save the spetacle for our exit" as he walks toward the control panel. He doesn't see anyone guarding it, and so far no one seems to be concerned with his approach. 'Could it be this easy?' he thinks as he shuts off power to the fence. "Please check the perimeter fence now, it should be safe."

lemne know if a check is needed here

With the push of a button, nothing visible happens. Meebo and AD-hoc both note the fading of the hum that the fence must have been making. They realize that the fence is now off. One of the guards at the front gate starts to step towards the fence but is distracted by a group of workers walking between him and the fence.

"Please enter expediently. I should re-engage the electricity before someone realizes something is amiss."

Nox takes off towards the fence as quickly as he can and still remain unnoticed. Once he arrives at the fence he weaves between two strands, pops out of the other side, and takes cover behind the nearest ship.

Is there any hole in the fence Ken can get through? Maybe a subtle blaster discharge might make one?Nov 1, 2022 11:47 pm

Esidrix says:
As you get closer to the landing area you notice how quickly this was erected. The 5-meter posts that hold up the perimeter fence have been jammed into the ground and none of them appear to be plumb. The fence itself is rows of electrified lines .25 meters apart starting .25 meters from the ground and going about 3 meters up. Circling around towards the main gate, you can see the rows of ships, the 'temporary' landing area is nearly 100 meters deep and close to 300 meters long. On the side away from where you landed, there is an opening in the fence, about 5 meters. A couple of Imperial army stand on either side of the opening as a stream of loader and lifter droids move cargo onto waiting speeder trucks. It seems they are unloading some of the smaller ships while waiting to move the bigger ships to the starport.

Ken jogs over to the fence, trying to be as inconspicuous as possible. He climbs between the hopefully no longer electrified wires and tries to merge into the crowd on the other side without being seen by the guards.

Tomas follows after Nox and Ken, his head darting everywhere, keeping a look-out. His hand never strays far from his blaster.

When the fence stops humming, Meebo dives to his belly and slithers under the fence where he is at.

With the fence 'off', the team dives through it. Meebo and AD-hoc are separated by a noticeable distance. Whereas, Nox, Vespin and Ken are huddled together behind a stack of crates. All of you eye the shipyard with the understanding that it is filled with ships full of valuable cargo. The next move is yours....

"Alright Ken, which of these beauties do you fancy? I wouldn't care to find one with a speeder bikes or two that we might keep."

Ken watches the ships keenly. He wants something that's going to have some valuable cargo, maybe military grade equipment. But he also wants something they'll be able to snatch without drawing too much attention, at least at first anyway.
OOC:
Any thoughts what kind of roll we might make to find a juicy prize?Nov 3, 2022 2:07 pm
OOC:
also I was thinking one of us could rig a ship (or two) to take off before we do. Maybe we could find some good candidates for that too?Nov 4, 2022 1:55 am
Once past the fence, Meebo finds a spot to hide while he locates his friends again. Picking a ship to steal is someone else's job, as far as he's concerned. But he does need to find them so he can cover them (which is his job, he believes).

Looking through his scanner goggles, Ken examines the various starships, trying to gauge which ones are valuable in themselves, and which might be carrying something interesting.
OOC:
So that's a big 'no.' Maybe he doesn't spot anything that looks like a particularly good mark but with the Advantages does spot something that looks like it might be easy to steal.Last edited November 4, 2022 6:31 pm
