[u]Navi[/u]

Time: 198:32:02 (8 days, 6 hours, 32 minutes, and 2…seconds)

Sparks flew and a brief electrical flash followed by a surging hiss filled the small, narrow tunnel which Navi worked. The metal walling had been painstakingly pulled back, exposing the inner workings where a little saucer size droid could easily tear away the wiring. A little arm extended from his side and reached to grasp a single one from the collection at its choosing. The circuit resisted like any machine, its fixings held it in place for several moments before it then came loose. A sudden, brighter discharge illuminated Navi’s features and finally it died. The tunnel was left on utter darkness while the only sounds were the clinking taps of the droid’s five feet making their way towards the next level: the droid bay. 

Within that level, Navi had managed to seek out an isolated place where he could work without fear of being discovered or exterminated. It shifted through the ventilation shaft while he made his way down, avoiding detours and potential dead ends along the way. He emerged from an undone hatch, the bind design cover had been shifted to the side, and then silently zip lined down to the floor. The stalk eyes scanned his surroundings before it edged down the long hallway. 

For Navi it was creepy to feel those hollow, empty eyes stare at him from the many little dome headed droid which sat within their assigned slots. They reached from the ground to the ceiling, and all in neat little rows awaiting activation. It made every little gear inside shiver at the sight while Navi moved hastily along until he reached an empty nook on the bottom row. The droid which had been assigned there was moved a few day ago, it’s system malfunctioned for unknown reasons and Navi knew it would be months before the mechanic staff on hand could determine the errors and get the droid functional again. 

However he wouldn’t need that long. 

Once he was nested in, the wire still grasped in his grip, Navi started to work on his repairs. Besides himself in the notch’s stationed area was a mess of other materials from scrape metal to other various wiring he had gathered over the five days since the Sithspawn’s attack. Each time, he was cautious not to cross paths with the bitch as she seemed aggressively seeking the small, metal menace who struck back. Needless to say it, Navi wasn’t looking forward to a rematch. 

He started to intertwine the wire where bits of frayed copper bits seemed gnawed off. Gingerly he tried to rewire, connecting new with the old remains, then reroute it back to him. It would allow better oil flow then he was getting and realigned the electrical impulses which delivered signals to his limp, once more enabled it to move like it should. The laser light bathed the small concave with red light during Navi’s long hour’s work. The sounds hissed and buzzed, each time he was able to move his leg a bit better. At least, his job was done. Feeling the job done well enough, Navi tested out his leg for his stalk eyes to sway and look over for even the faintest flaws. The limb shifted up then down, each time seemed able to connect the bot’s wants with its action. Suddenly, a sound was picked up on the droid’s sensors. The eyes shifted upright, alert, then clicked off the laser before it scrambled backwards. Darkness engulfed Navi from sight where he waited for the original source to push into sight. He had a feeling who was responsible for such a scratching yet he merely held his body still, inwardly hoped he was wrong. 

It was shattered when the female Sithspawn darted into view. Her red eyes panned around the narrow hallway and her body covered in nasty yellow bumps, wicked claws clanked against the metal grinds where it stepped. Her nose jerked into the air for a deep sniff. The head lingered there then slowly turned to where Navi’s hiding place was. Her eyes stared into the darkness as if she could see through it and growled at him. Her bulk started to shift towards him. Navi’s core was trembling, his sensors picked up each large step drawing closer to him by the passing moment. Closer…closer and loud it became. Then it suddenly stopped. Slowly, the droid’s eyes started to flicker to life and viewed the Scrurrier. She stood there, her head up and listened when something else caught her attention. Then she took off. 

Navi nearly collapsed right then and there. There was a slight relief to see the beast turn its focus else while, likely not for long, the bot tried to settle its core circuitry down. If he didn’t the primary board would’ve overloaded and things would’ve been much worse. Navi knew he had little time. Quickly the droid went back to work, it’s determination driven by fear and intended to finish up by the time the creature returned. He still needed to explore what little remained explored. Or at least where he could get to and figure out the rest.
