I activate my cloaking tech and move past HJ and the Imperials, holding the cannon at the ready. Reaching the control room ahead of them. Putting two of my metal fingers to the door, I broadcast the conversation to everyone's comlink channels so as to avoid giving the group away.

If I could grin, I would be. "Prideful Statement: I have sliced the security of the Empire's most secure locations, the Foundry will be nothing in comparison. Reminder: If you wish to use the droids of the Foundry, please wait until after Jorg Sucal is dealt with , as agreed." Of course, in the process of turning the facility on it's current occupants, I also planned to pull as many blueprints for new designs as possible and destroy the one for the original Sith Hunter. Not only was it far too dangerous to allow into anyone's hands, New Imperial or Republic, the fact that they had stolen the name of my master's guild, as Zar'kun called it, was insulting. Finally, the lift came to a stop, indicating they'd reached the right floor.

However, there was no welcoming committee waiting for them and it seemed awfully quiet except for the assembly lines below. "Statement: This feels wrong."

"Answer: To some degree. It is most definitely a variant on the primary Sith Hunter model, much like you said. However, it's circuits were arrayed differently. Perhaps a byproduct of the redesign of the original Sith Hunter model." I look at the cannon in my hand and analyze it. "Realization: This isn't a standard model heavy blaster cannon. My preliminary analysis shows a new type of power source powering it. Suggestion: Perhaps we should procure more weapons like this for further study."

"Explanation: That unit was likely HK-47, who's master was the late Darth Revan. I have never found much information on how the unit was so well preserved over the years however. Likely someone kept it repaired and replaced dated parts with new ones when necessary." I face the Imperial squad leader. "Inquiry: Your thoughts on the droid we just faced? Clearly it's of a model not seen before." Zar'kun had programmed me with loyalty and lethal skill, some would say even competing with HK-47 and definitely outclassing the HK-50 model, but he had also given me a sense of curiosity and desire to understand those who would be my allies. As an assassin droid, the sense of curiosity gave me no end of annoyance, but sometimes it allowed me to better prepare for future fights, with and sometimes against them.

Following HJ past the droid, I stop a moment to consider before holstering my rifle. A moment of tinkering around with one of it's arm cannons had the heavy weapon free of it's holdings and in my hands, following which I stepped onto the lift. "Offhand comment: There is no such thing as too much fire power."

Sounds good. I'll reserve the Human spot for you. Let me know when you have an outline going; I can help you work through the details.

@Gcold

Will do.

It's fairly prevalent in the lower ranks, since many recruits joined up due to the abuse from humanocentric Imperials. These guys were slaves, second-class citizens, underpaid laborers and the victims of many speciesist movements. About half of the Scarlet Moons flat out refuses to fight alongside Humans in battle, on the fear of getting shot in the back. Most higher ranking officers don't have problems with Humans, or are pragmatic enough to overlook their disdain. For the sake of any Human member's own safety (so they don't get lynched by vengeful non-Humans), they are only sent to fight if they have extensive combat experience and/or rare skills.

@Gcold

So then he's rather resentful of the resent, which is perfect. And I'll figure out how to get him into the fight.

The blade passes easily through the droid's head, but it doesn't immediately shut down. A third Imperial takes a shot to the shin before it finally sputters to it's death. However, it's shield was still in the way. "Request: If you will, Master HJ."

What would said human be like?

@Gcold

Depends on how strong the anti-human sentiment is in the Scarlet Moons.

The ion grenades go off and, for a moment, nothing seems to happen. The droid continues to rain heavy suppressive fire on the group before it begins to slow down. While the shots never stop entirely, they eventually reach such a slow rate of fire that the group can literally sidestep them even without the Force. "Observation: Sloppy hardened circuitry job. Surprising." I step out of my cover and work my way up with the others. However, after a few seconds the fire rate begins to pick up again. "Suggestion: Rush it!" I run as fast as my servos will carry me towards it, firing my blaster to try and damage the rifles.
