Bankor

Keeping an artefact hidden took a lot of energy and creativity...but she had both!

One again ialone in her room she removed the egg from her secret pocket and put it on the bench, ready to unlock more of it's secrets

I will need them...eventually

day 4 Interfacing with the Egg, bench. mechanics, Zash's knowledge (1): 2eA+2eP+3eD+1eS+1eB+2eF (1+1)=2 success, 1 advantage, 4 Light Side


Finally, the egg was open again!

The egg hums lightly with a slight glimmer.

The first time she had opened it the egg projected a few images. Baesal delved deeper into the device to see if she could reach the information inside.

The images are jumbled without a guiding intelligence it cycled through various images and sounds without much order.

Quite curious

Baesal studied the jumbled images for a moment

Perhaps an act of will...this is force sensitive tech after all

Acting on the impression, she began focusing on the egg...willing for a directory of some sort

OOC: Discipline at Hard, will only respond to dark side energy. Roll Force die as well.

Willing the egg: 1eA+1eP+3eD+2eF 1 failure, 1 threat, 1 Light Side, 1 Dark Side


She concentrated as best she could...but it was lacking

HYDRA’s voice chimed through the egg, “Still hard at work, little Jedi?”

That voice

Baesal was pale with surprise

''You are still there?''

As she spoke, her mind exploded with a thousand problem that this would bring

“I am intelligence beyond your comprehension, while you did not appreciate my superiority others have. I always have a contingency, Baesal. Always,” HYDRA responded in her smooth feminine voice.

Others?

She wondered for a moment on what to do next

''The only thing beyond comprehension is your ego HYDRA.''

Baesal looked at the egg intently. She knew how dangerous HYDRA could be, to the galaxy and to the republic...She grabbed her Ionsaber

''Leave this device''

“I am not in the device, simply using it as a communication device. See how simple minded you are, probably brandishing your ion saber. You are predictable,” HYDRA retorted.

''Perhaps I am''

Baesal concentrated on the device. It was only a computer in the end...she could isolate it from outside signal or trace it back.

She is likely trying to hack the computers around me or delete the information I saved, why else would she speak?

(OOC: Baesal wants to isolate the egg from outside influences)

OOC: Computers versus 2C+2eD plus a setback due to HYDRA’s knowledge of the egg.

Keep talking, distract her

Baesal took out the specialised tools she had crafted after meeting the A.I.

''Why bother interacting with little predictable me?''

Isolate the egg, specialist tools to negate setback, destiny: 1eA+3eP+2eD+2eC 1 failure


shitshitshit

“Opportunity,” HYDRA replied. “How ineffectual, goodbye, Baesal.”

The egg goes inert.

Baesal just dropped the egg on the bench. It seemed that all the efforts she had put in it just...went to waste...and she did not care anymore

She took her comm-link out and called the computer technicians

''Our systems are compromised''
