"Alright. I always liked exploring new systems. Crash please plot a Hyperspace route." the Captain asks her droid.

As the hyperdrive ramps up, the ship enters the blue tunnel of hyperspace.

"Well should be two days to these coordinates. Make yourselves comfortable."

The time seems to crawl by in anticipation of the unknown. Orsk is often found pacing like a caged animal. You all try to occupy your time as best you can and eventually you all hear the alarm from the cockpit indicating you are coming up on your destination.

"We are coming up on the coordinates."

As the ship emerges from Hyperspace a star lies ahead in the midst of seven planets.

"So there is a system here. Coordinates would likely be in the path of the third planet." Corran states.

Silten spends the time thinking about how best to kill things remotely, combat droids and turrets and other weapons system.  This has never been an area of expertise that he's considered before and the idea intrigues him.

The Banshee approaches the third planet, gently entering its atmosphere. Large swaths of lands and seas are below.

"Setting our course for the planetary coordinates." the captain indicates.

"No technological or power source readings on the scanners. I am picking up many life sign readings from the jungles and sees below." Crash says as the ship travels to a central tropical area of the planet. The banshee flies over an inner see surrounded by mountainous jungle terrain and then along it's coast. You are still a few minutes from the coordinates but see just ahead smoke rising from a spot closer on the coast.

"What iss that?" Silten asks, gesturing to the smoke.  The lack of power readings isn't a surprise, they could be cloaked somehow by the same entity who altered the star charts.

"We aren't at the planetary coordinates yet, but we can do a flyby and check it out." Sirona says and as the Banshee closes she swings the ship so your facing the shoreline and keeps her moving laterally along. The move reveals a small village, most burnt to the ground, with smoking stone shells remaining. A few bodies lay strewn about.

"I think we found the colony you mentioned from that holonews clip." mentions to Silten as the look upon the carnage."Too bad we were a cycle late and a credit short to help these folks. Should we drop 2-1B to look for survivors?"

Silten nods.  "Yess, if there iss anyone left alive we need to help them."  He worries that he should have spent time improving the droid's medical abilities.

The Captain brings the banshee in low, the ramp just touching the sandy beach, allowing the medical droid to disembark. Then she pulls back on the controls and lifts off again once the droid is clear. The Banhsee rockets down the coast toward the coordinates.

After a few minutes and miles of  coastline whipping past, you come to the spot. The beach and jungle at the spot look just like the the miles that have gone past.

"Your coordinates should be just a few steps into the forest." the Captain says as she puts the Banshee down on the sand. "I can't stay on the beach here, she'll sink into the sand. I'll circle back to where 2-1B is and put her down there. There's more beach to land on there. Let me know when you need a pickup."

Silten nods again.  "Yess, I can take care of mysself better than it can."  He then addresses the Orsk and Corran, "Will you be joining me or sstaying with the sshhip?"

Once the teams have been sorted out he slithers down the ramp and draws his blaster pistol, realizing that he's actually in charge and trying to figure out how that happened.

"Wouldn't miss it buddy." Corran says and follows Silten down the ramp with his weapon drawn.

"This is the whole reason I am here. I hope whatever we find will trigger something." the bothan steps lightly in behind the two of you as you cross the beach to the jungle beyond.

Even after just a few paces in, the jungle thickens. The effort to move just a few feet takes several minutes. As you are nearly on top of the coordinates, you reach a canopied clearing slowly being reclaimed by the surround flora. At its center, covered in vines and brush is an ancient looking starship.

Silten looks at the starship curiously.

Silten checks his location to see how close he is to their target coordinates.

Silten finds they are nearly on top of the coordinates, the ship is where those coordinates meet.

Silten nods to himself and moves in to investigate, assuming his companions will follow.

They do approach with Silten, but Corran walks around the ship the other direction admiring it.

Orsk stays close to Silten studying the ships details and says, "There is an input pad near where the ramp descends for putting in a passcode for instances that the ship is completely unpowered." After the words leave his mouth a look of shock descends over his face and he stops in his tracks.

Silten is too busy examining this technological find to notice the look of shock.  "Interessting, good dessign.." he says and moves in to examine the datapad.  "But what'ss the code?"

"Didn't you and the Doctor discuss that part of the string of numbers you found implanted in me was a possible passcode?" Orsk asks?

Silten immediately gets excited.  "How could i have forgotten!"  He pulls out his datapad to retrieve the information and then enters in the potential code.

The ramp lowers slowly to the sand revealing a dark interior.

Silten almost barges into the ship without thinking to analyze this technological find and see what can be scavenged but then remembers that they're on a mission and this place is a little more important than it appears. 

Calling out for Corran, he waits a second and then if he doesn't hear a response Silten will go after his companion before exploring the ship.
