Ask Mustafar Third Time Is The Harm

[Naxa]

N4-X4 held their blaster pistol with one hand while they used their free hand to to provide additional stability and as a point of contact to move through the room. They grabbed a dead B1 and used its body as a shield to block one of the super battle droids while Naxa shot the last turret. The added weight of the B1's cadaver barely slowed the commando droid down but it soon lost its integrity causing them to drop the B1's body on the deck.

N4-X4 heard Karai's words and did not even waste time by answering the Sith Pureblood. "Seeker, obey." The ID-21 droid plugged into the terminal began reprioritizing the door locks immediately. A heart beat later and the two super battle droids pushed outside of the Control Core's bridge were locked outside as the blast doors closed. One of the B2s was too close and its extended blaster arm was chopped off in a fit of sparks while its main body was stuck on the other side.

The Hunter's sidearm was soon out of ammunition as they emptied the last few shots into the steadily approaching pair of super battle droids from the other direction. The B2 they had been shooting fell to the deck with numerous blast holes in its burly form leaving only one left. N4-X4 leapt over a terminal just as a burst of red blaster bolts narrowly struck where it had been a second earlier. From cover the commando droid rapidly reloaded while continuing to draw its fire. It was the last hostile on the bridge and once it was neutralized the infiltration team would be able to assert control over the rest of the robotic horde that was no doubt converging on their position.

[Karai Hekk-iv-Adas]

Seeing Naxa take note and follow through on his suggestion, Karai focused upon the turrets first. With the Force he attempted to with Telekinesis grab it and send it into one of the remaining droids, while the other he would attempt to lure it further in and so be vulnerable to them and the turrets.

The doors took care of the rest, trapping the other droids and preventing further reinforcements from arriving, at least for now until they found a way around it. Karai focused himself on taking out the remaining droid and another bolt shoot forwards to be deflected back at it. Karau ran forwards, his pattern sporadic as to throw the targeting off and give them no direct line of fire. Instead He would try to is the Force in a attempt to drag them further into the room and be dispatched by either himself and his lightsaber or Naxa.

N4-X4 finished reloading their sidearm and rose back out of cover. They finished off the last of the security with quick precise shots. Soon the bridge of the Control Core was still and silent save for the ID-21 seeker droid still connected to the terminal, Naxa, and Karai. Smoke rose towards the high ceiling of the bridge and left a faint haze in the room which brought an interesting glow to the scene.

In a matter of seconds the team of infiltrators had dealt with the bridge's security. At the height of the clone wars there may have been more security or perhaps better defended than it was now with the direction of an organic commander. But no such living being was present. All of the ship's functions were still running on outdated programming, defaulting to their standard routines and protocols.

If N4-X4 had to make a calculation as to how the control core and its droids had survived the shut down signal it may have had something to do with the natural rocky shielding that now incased the subterranean ship. It may also have used a jamming signal to ignore the transmission. It both hid the ship and trapped it in place. N4-X4 would analyze this later but for now they had been successful in their endeavor.

"Seeker, shut down all units in the vicinity. Reactivate with the prepared protocols." The Hunter directed the small crustacean-like droid. In a matter of minutes the shut down signal would cause all former separatist droids in the area to reset. They had new orders and directives, seeing N4-X4 as their master and Karai as a guest. The control core would soon begin producing new units with more efficiency than before. No longer would there be the inferior B1 units. N4-X4 had plans to use the battle droids better and more effectively than their historical forerunners. The BX commando droid did not need numbers, instead favoring quality over quantity.

N4-X4 turned to the Sith Pureblood, still cold and direct as they always were. "Let me know what units you will require and I will oversee their production. For now, head to the medical wing and see to your injury." The organic had sustained a flesh wound but they would soon find that the core ship had more than just battle droid production to offer. The highest echelons of Nemoidian society used to call these ships home as they went about their trade endevors. The core ship's upper levels would still provide a degree of luxury and comfort to any occupants that chose to stay.
