Nassian Bulb Flower: Two Cats and a Droid [D10, ME]

[Torr Po]

"So now onto the next room where we need to lube up all those little gears to make sure equipment doesn't break. Unless you want to do it instead?"

"No complaints here," Torr leans casually against a nearby wall.

[Meiyokashi]

"Are you trying to get fired?" he looks over at Tor with a scowl. Crossing his arms he steps aside and points with a nod toward the hall. "Get going."

[Manny Donos]

"Well, now we gotta test it." Manny glanced at his chrono and groaned. "And oh man, this is taking forever. Alder Divo is gonna come down hard on us if we don't come up with a good excuse for why we got slowed down. And when he comes down hard, he comes down hard."

After a moment, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the trooper. "Hey... what did you say your name was?"

[Meiyokashi]

As Manny spoke the mans gaze shifted, confusion slipping into his expression, "I didn't- and what does ISB have to do anything with building maintenance?" he holds up his hand, giving the answer pause as he looks between everyone. "Now- I need to know, really. Why in all of the stars in this galaxy would Alder Divo want a maintenance crew to.. loosen a door and then test it?"

[The SCaT Droid]

(Is there some sort of knowledge check I could make to figure out a relevant bigger name than Alder Divo? Going to put the dilema of listening to 2 different superiors)

[Manny Donos]

"Do I look like I want to know?" Manny said. "If Alder Divo told me to wear a bucket on my head for a day, I'd do it, and I sure wouldn't ask why. I don't get paid to think, do you?"

He shifted uncomfortably. "C'mon man, give me a break. I really don't want to get in trouble with that guy. I'll owe ya one, I promise."

[Meiyokashi]

[Deception vs Hard, 1 Boost, 1 Setback]

It wasn't working...

[Meiyokashi]

"Riiight.." he said, slowly reaching for the commlink resting on his hip.

[Torr Po]

Torr shakes his head, "It's on the work order rook!" He points at the bag. "The locks were upgraded and now we're stress testing them. Honestly!" Torr shakes his head at Manny, all the while leaning casually on the wall. "Check for yourself. But seriously trooper, you're inane questioning is the only break I've had all day. Feel free to continue delaying us."

[The SCaT Droid]

"Look, at the end of the day Moff Rosim expects this building to be in top working order and we need to make sure it is before she inspects the place."

[Torr Po]

"Gahhh," Torr gets off the wall and turns like he's going to walk over to Manny, but instead does a spinning round house kick to the troopers head.

Cool/initiative: 2eP+1eA 2 successes, 3 advantage

[The SCaT Droid]

Knowing where this is going, SCaT prepares combat protocols.

[Meiyokashi]

Jumping to action, quick as they were, they were able to get the man and bring him down before he causes too much of a stir. Slipping his unconscious body to the side with him the door was still locked.

They could try the lock again..

Or just break the door open.

[Manny Donos]

Manny shrugged. "We warned him."

Turning, he inserted the picks one last time... and it pretty much immediately opened. He looked at Torr. "Did you kick it when I wasn't looking?" He grinned at his fellows. "Okay, here we go.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pick the lock, COME ON!: 2eP+3eA+3eD 2 successes, 2 advantage

[Meiyokashi]

With the lock clicking, given the time and different form of pressure Manny manages the lock this time. Making their way first through a small receptionists office they approach Novar's door itself. As the door opens they're treated to an absolutely beautiful view over the city. One that they're reminded Dr. Novar just had in her office. Now.. they just had to toss it over real quick for whatever information might be available.

To their left is an immaculately organized desk and work space while the rest of the room is open and has many decorations within. A small sitting area at the far end likely for meetings.

[The SCaT Droid]

(Infrabinoculars to check for hidden compartments, drawers with information, etc)

[Meiyokashi]

[There are no heat signatures present you can make out]

[Manny Donos]

In the meantime, Manny started going through the desk. "People love to keep hidden compartments in these." He said. "It's a big thing."

[The SCaT Droid]

"No one is here, at least we have that going for us."
