Vandal opened the door, staring blankly at the droid. "...My client didn't order room service, what do you want?" She asked with thinly contained menace, closing the door behind her with her fist clenched. ((Coercion: 3S, 1A Gross))

"Maintenance has detected a security that needs to be repair for the protection and convenience of our guest." The door slides open automatically. "Please ignore my presence as I repair your systems." The droid begins to walk forward into the room.

"There's a Mandalorian posted and my client wants his privacy. That will not be necessary." Vandal half insisted, grabbing the lightsaber and following the droid, her warning lost given the droid being positioned behind her. "You should leave it be before a complaint ends up filed." She suggested gently. The next step would not be gentle.

Sivu, seeing Vandal following the droid with saber in hand, opens his hand to signal for her to wait as the droid approaches the camera. Once it begins inspecting the camera, he swiftly pulls a restraining bolt from his belt and applies it to the droid on shutdown mode, shutting off all its systems. With no time to waste, Sivu accesses the disabled camera and attempts to find a remote access clearance code. With any luck, he will be able to remotely access the camera's systems at any moment, allowing him to loop existing vidfeeds or shut them down entirely, if necessary. It won't hold up to long periods of scrutiny, so he'll have to save it for a handful of minutes that require total privacy, but it should be sufficient for brief interludes.
After he (hopefully) successfully completes his job, he will hide all evidence of his actions (including the last couple moments of the droid's memory) and remove the bolt, stating in a concerned voice to the droid "Are you functional? It seems you accidentally electrified yourself on the damaged power feeds. I was able to restore you to active mode, but I'm not sure how well it went. Are your servos working well?"
Vigilance Check (having a restraining bolt in his box-o-tools) 2A vs 2D. Net result 1 success 1 advantage.
Computers Check 1P3A1B vs ?. Gross result 3 successes 4 advantages.
Deception Check 3A vs ?. Gross result 2 successes 2 advantages.

The droid shuts down. His system and the local security cams are pretty easy to hack. Are you going to program him so he files that he has corrected the issue. Otherwise you will get the next maintenance droid and the next until it is fixed. How long will he loop be? You have been walking around the place for a good half hour. Do you want it to feed to your datapad the real camera feed? You have some advantages so you can add some frills to you hacking efforts.

Sivu programs in a special little input signal of his own to allow him to remotely feed in footage from his pad into the cam's database at any time. Since he has the feed streaming and downloading on his pad as well, that means he can send the old footage into the cam, and it will register it as new footage, new timestamp and all (think rerecording onto a VCR or casette tape, but IN SPACE -insert booming echo here-). To prevent some nasty counterhacking, he sets the accepted incoming and outgoing information to allow vid files only. He preps a 15 minute loop that he can immediately feed in, but later on he can vary the clips to prevent a watching guard from feeling deja vu.
Furthermore, he preps a few...unsavory surprises to upload into the cams' servers quickly if things go wrong. As for the details, well, let's just say one day Sivu had to defrag Potshot's datapad, and he learned about a LOT of places where he could find severe malware. He still has nightmares.
He sets the completed job request in the droid's databank, and when it leaves, he'll restart the cams. After all, he doesn't want the guards wondering why they can't see the service droid. |

The droid comes back up,"Glad to be of service." He leaves the room.

PD13 moves to a large screen in the suite and turns it on. A Kathornet reporter is speaking of the upcoming cultural display that will be performed outside the cultural center in the mushroom gardens. The holocam swoops over head showing the crowd. PD13 stops the screen and jacking in begin to zoom on the buildings. He highlights small domes on the bank roof, Imperial Plaza roof, and even the cultural center roof. Zooming again the domes are collapsed PD units like himself. Beside each dome is a long thin case just laying on the roof. "No one notices pit droids." PD states.
He starts the report again and the reporter continues,"It is rumored that the New Republic diplomat Thane D'Borbeck will be announcing the engagement of himself to the Duchess of House Ik'Tal. The pairing would solidify the alliance between House Ik'Tal, House Shador, and the New Republic. The Duchess has been rumored to be enthralled by the ambassador and it has been a whirlwind romance."

Sivu looks at the report and states flatly "It would seem we have located the Ambassador." He then turns and looks at Vandal, continuing "Mission Commander, shall we attempt to rejoin the Ambassador in the Cultural Center, or shall we await his return to the hotel?"

Pd13 crosses his arms impatiently,"We have 6 droids hidden on rooftops each has a rifle sized case next to them. I'm not sure we want to wait for them to return his body to the hotel if you know what I mean."
"Pit Droids are not programmed for combat." Sasha states then watches PD13 extend his built in blaster.
"Really! I've been swinging to your rescue forever." PD13 walks away to the door. "I'm going to check on these pit droids. Someone needs to be the hero here."

"So, since that became unnecessary, is there a plan?" Vandal asked finally, but keeping her voice to nary a whisper, putting the lightsaber hilt away.

Sivu's gaze follows PD as the droid storms out. "It seems that our Pit Droid is determined to compromise our anonymity. If we believe Thane and the diplomatic team will need assistance fending off a team of Pit Droid Assassins-" even as Sivu says it, he still can't believe Pit Droids are the assassins of choice for the Empire now "-we will have to mobilize to access their rooftop hideouts and disable them. If we do not believe they will pose a threat, we will have to disable our Pit Droid. Either way, it would be ideal to find a way to warn the Ambassador without Imperial eavesdropping. That will likely require a physical messenger."

"We need the Muvon team to conduct inventory. Remotely slicing those droids could make things a lot easier, long term. Or we could disable the Pit Droids on the Muvon. I'd personally disable them permanently had we no need for them. At the very least a memory wipe and reprogramming would be an order." She shrugged, removing her helmet. "But I have a pack and fuel, so I should have no problem getting up there to neutralize their hubs if you can't slice them without being present." She looked around the room. "But food is the order of the day. Sato and the Jarrels are my responsibility, and they eat a lot more than I do... so I haven't in order to stretch out our supplies. We should have a brief interlude over a light meal and go get a lay of the place." She eyed the surroundings. "This is nice though. I'd exploit it were I you. I know you handle yourself even if you're a science-type, but this has been stressing me out." She idly dusted off her Kama, recalling the last week or so. "...So... Shipsec, TacOps, XO and now a right hand to the Chosen One. I get Senate now, and I'll be on my way to becoming a god and then Mandalore before I'm thirty." She snorted.

The door closes behind the Pit Droid. The last thing you hear is Slacker making a raspberry sound at the thought of wiping all of his friends. He moves to the turbolift and punches it to the rooftop.
Gammer and Sasha looks to the current highest ranking NCO and seeing she is ordering room service shrug and begin to do the same. The livevid of the cultural presentation continues on the vid screen (since no one shut it off). You see moving to the outdoor auditorium before the cultural center are city leaders, house leaders, and other dignitaries.
The mayor of Montrol steps forward and speaks,"Many ages before the Imperials, before the Republic, the rift was a place of exotic cultures and creatures. The historic meeting of the houses has brought many people to Montrol city. Two of these people have offered to demonstrate traditions of ancient ways and ancient cultures that have been lost to us except as history. Gunthar we believe are of the Majjrava people a race lost in the rift ages ago. Gunthar of the Majjrava has offered to display the traditional dance of his people. First though a warrior of the Slundir tribes have offered to give exhibition of their arts of war. We give you Qesya Vth'Naar of the Slundir tribes."
The crowd claps and roars as the mayor retreats from center stage. Droids bring forward a dozen bound husks of some grain plant. They place them on the stage. Qesya charges the stage and with dual blades polearm slices through one thick bale of husks after another. Her moves have a smooth artistry to them. She then stops in the center of the stage to the roar of the crowd. She bows then waits.
You note that Thane is sitting beside a noble woman who spends much of her watching the smile on his face.
Your food arrives with a pair of servant droids bringing it in.
