As they parted from the rest of the team the group makes their ways into the corridors once more. Passing by officers the majority of the team keeps their heads down. Walking toward the elevators they wait for one for a tense minute as troopers and officers alike start to walk by.

Jaxom kept his hat pulled low.

Tenzing, dressed as an officer, looked like he was supposed to be there. He didn't even press the button multiple times to make the elevator appear more quickly. He did think about it though.

Finally the elevator arrived just as a pair of higher ranking officers began to pass. Opening up to an empty elevator Jaxom, Tensing, Mara, and Mylar are all able to file in with Tenzing taking the front position given the officers garb. Now what they needed was to decide which floor they were going to. Would they go up toward Novar's office or down into the labs? Uniforms for scientists, as they knew, were nearish to the elevator exit down by the labs. However, this decision would need to be made quick because just as they get in they see something.. something almost unbelievable.

Alder Divo, busy on a commlink, doesn't take express notice of who's in the elevator but is heading right for it.

[Skulduggery [Agility] at Hard, One Setback to close the elevator door before Alder Divo can get there without him noticing enough to take offense.

Jaxom quickly jabbed at the button for the labs. It did not go as smoothly as he'd hopped, as he tried to keep his identity hidden. At least he kept himself from swearing.

As the button gets pressed Alder Divo looks up with a questioning glance, he was a man that was used to people being rude but in an Imperial building? Door shutting the elevator began to go down toward the labs and left behind a very confused and suspicious Alder Divo. They would have a minute or two to discuss this development.

"Kriff. ISB. That's not good. Slippery bunch of monkey-lizards at the best of times." He looked around the group. "Any chance one of you can slice into the network and disable the internal alarms? Just in case?"

Tens rubbed his temples. "I guess he might even follow us, which is maybe better than kicking up a fuss elsewhere."

"I could manage that.. if we can get me to a security desk. More access the better so.. it'd probably be on a dedicated floor," he pulls up a copy of the map they were given by Korvin's mystery person. Looking through the details of it he scans through and finds a place a couple levels above the main floor.

"Unless we get the other team on it."

Tens pulled his comlink out and dialed SCaT.

"Hey pal, any chance you're near a security terminal? Just had a brush with ISB and they're a suspicious bunch so... Might need a proactive shutdown of the alarm systems. Should be on your way judging my Mylar's map."

"Divo. He knows me." Jaxom sighed. "If he follows, I'll draw him away."

Tenzing's own background was complicated enough that he just nodded. "Alright, that might work in our favour."

After SCaT responded Tens thanked the droid and lowered the comm. "Alright, best we can do for now. Let's go find those lab coats."

Coming down into the lower levels the elevator opens. Clean halls, cleaner than the one's above were the first thing that was noticed but also a far greater guard seems to watch over the halls down to the right, toward their destination, with an ever vigilant position. Luckily, they heard about the room with a likely disguise in them off to the left. Walking through the halls they pass a few maintenance workers arguing with a scientist, two scientists discussing politely, and an officer and a scientist chatting about something. Each group they pass by keeping their heads down until they get to the room but.. it's locked with a keycode.

Mara steps forward at that moment, to Tenzing's side, and puts a hand on his arm. Pulling out the keycard given over by Sholua she scans it through and the door opens. "Good to have friends, hmm?" she looks up to him with a brief smile as Mylar passes by inside first.

Inside the room there was a general relaxation area for the scientists and lockers for the various divisions.

Once they were inside Tens smiled back. "Sure is...doc? Okay, let's make sure we get you in the uniform for the right division." He started looking around the locker room, but kept his appearance casual just in case they got company.

Jaxom kept his eye on the door.

Mylar made his way into the room, looking around. At least it was empty, "Alright.. who's playing dress up?" he looks to Tenzing and Mara, noting on Tens, "Alright, so- Mara as the scientist, I could do that too or keep in this," he pulls at his outfit. "Admit, I'm.. probably a bit more comfortable answerin' the questions you'd ask a maintenance person. How about you Jax-y?" he tries it, hates it, an awkward grin. "Sorry."

"Anyway, Jaxom, you taking a new dig? I've got watch if you do."

Once they were inside Tens smiled back. "Sure is...doc? Okay, let's make sure we get you in the uniform for the right division." He started looking around the locker room, but kept his appearance casual just in case they got company.

"Right," she said, a brief smile as she started helping in the search. Looking from locker to locker she glances over her shoulder, "Any.. ideas?" she said, having gathered at least a few. Each of the scientist garbs had a band on the arm which likely signified station, one in red, one in blue, one in yellow, and one in black.

or

[Perception vs Hard, 2 Setbacks: This check is for having noticed something on the way which would have pointed out which one to choose.]

[Both Jaxom and Tenzing may make the checks, both if they like.]

Tenzing looked at the suits and shrugged. "I dunno, those Imperials all look alike to me." He struggled to remember anything about the Empire's colouring system.

(OOC: Will let Jaxom take a shot before I try Perception)

Raven had talked about trusting in each other to making the right calls. After the elevator, Jaxom had been been worrying about Divo, but he couldn't dwell on that. The others were still trusting him to help reach their goal. He'd been looking around carefully on their way here.

"I saw something out there." he said as he quickly changed.

There were also bands all along the walls denoting which section they were currently in. Their current section was denoted by an easy blue color, while the walls in the section with heightened security were denoted by a black color.

"Thanks Jaxom. So, high security then." Of course, it had to be. "Alright then team, we should move out."

He gave Mara a grin. "Ready to find your bro and get the kriff out of here?" He adjusted the uniform and nodded, looking like a well-kept Imperial Officer.
