As the group hurries to leave, Trixie notices a pressure release valve in one of the compression chambers in the lab that is currently filled with stale, pressurized air, and she thinks she could trigger it with the to the explode and take out the computers nearby.

She musters up her courage and lets loose with the Force. Cracks appear in the tank, and the scientists look back in terror. They bolt through the exit, nearly running over the Jedi as they do so.

You all follow quickly behind as several loud pops and a boom shake the tunnel as you exit into the restaurant up above.

The group stands outside of the diner now, the street is empty and they now have a chance to catch up about what all just transpired.

You all begin walking to the next lab location.

When out of earshot of anyone else Zyla ask 'Will we need to do something like that at every one of their facilities?'

The next one on your list is inside a warehouse. There are several restricted signs around the facility, but no obvious labels of what could be inside the facility.

You all take a second to look around at the building, looking for any indications of what may be inside. This facility is much, much larger than the previous one.

Perception checks from everyone please, Average difficulty with two setbacks, upgraded once


In addition, if you want to use Foresee or Sense to get a handle on things as well, tell me what you want to do

Arca reaches out to the Force to try to sense who's inside, but declines to take the easy path that's tempting him.

Trixie pulls out a general purpose scanner to scan for lifeforms or electronic signatures, but gets little feedback except a soft, Trek-like whirling sound. ....whirrrl...whirrrl....whirrrl....'

Arca uses a few of his medical tools, not at all how they are intended to be used, to jury-rig a bypass of the main gate's access panel.

As Arca works, he notices that there are holocams focused on the front gate, way more high-tech than normal security cams. Something is recording everything that goes on in exhaustive 3-d detail, but given no alarm is raised it must be an automated process rather than a manual one.

The door swings open quietly, and the holocam shuts off after several minutes of Arca fiddling with the machine.

The entranceway is an empty corridor. It's wide enough to push in hoverpallets, but the ceiling is not any higher than 3.5 or 4 meters.

Doors line the hallway on both sides, each with a light over them seemingly indicating if the door is unlocked or not.


All the doors are currently locked.

Arca reaches out through the Force with his senses to try to detect if there are any life forms behind the closed doors.

Arca feels a wave of sensations crash over him. The Force is alive in this place, nearly bursting out of it. But something was keeping it subdued. Now that Arca has broken through whatever was sealing the Force off from this place, the rest of the group feels the surge as well.

There are dozens of lifeforms, nearby, on the other sides of the doors. And Arca starts feeling that same sick energy he sensed from infected individuals. In fact, Arca thinks that this might somehow even be a nexus point in the force, somewhere where the Force is extra strong. This is the second time Arca's encountered a Force Nexus near a BioCorp research project, and he begins to think he can probably narrow down those hyperspace coordinates based on this.


the group notices that all the doors they can see appear locked, except for two that are about halfway down the corridor. There is another entrance/exit at the far end of the hall.

Arca staggers from what he feels through the Force. He comments absently, "This is a problem."

"More of those creatures???" she asks hesitantly. "We'll see about this." she says as she reaches out with the force. Trixie is confident in her ability to suppress any hostile force creatures coming our way in the near future.
Spoiler:
With the two strength upgrades, that's "3" Failures to any hostile force power checks made against any of us within short range. Will commit a Force Die to sustain the effect.

It's stairs, they lead upwards. you can see glass windows up where their stairs reach. There's an ever-present hum of some kind of machinery that now reverberates down the hallway towards the others. It seems these doors were soundproofed.

You can hear some talking from up there, but you can't make it out without focusing.
Spoiler:
If you want to roll Perception, it's difficulty of hard with 2 setbacks.

Zyla motions to the others to be quiet, pointing upstairs. She cups her hand to her ear to let them know she is trying to listen...

Zyla can make out the words:
"complete", "tests", "the client", and "spaceyards".

However, they seem to be walking away, so she doesn't think she can pick up anymore without either using the Force or moving closer.

"Did you hear something?" one of the voices asks.

"No, I'll check it out," the other says. Zyla hears footsteps coming towards her.

Feeling bold and brash, while also being short on time, Trixie leaps forward, and ignites her lightsaber.

Trixie Ulan'jani; TotOR; Coercion Check w/ DP:

WHOA!!! 6 Advantages, but a Failure!!!

Perhaps spending those can get me (us) an exact number of personnel here? All exits from the room? The presence of any weapons on the people or nearby? Or maybe they are startled into some kind of chaotic scene? .... that's a lot of advantages.
