So Savn did his best Darth impression and we approached the lab. I got us in with my credentials, but the facility still didn't seem to want us here. A protocol droid tried to get us to leave, but Savn was apparently wanting to play it a little crazy, and cut it down. 

We were greeted by a few heavy battle droids soon afterward, but Lyndee quickly hacked them and had them flank us as we delved further into the facility. We eventually made our way to the main lab, and Savn played the role well, cowing the scientists and getting them to give us the specs of the drive and what a facility would need to do this same kinda research and even got them to perform a demonstration.

They made some progress, though all they managed to accomplish was to get the drive to temporarily "blink" into hyperspace for a few minutes. Which does have its uses, but they hadn't matched the capabilities of the real drive yet. Lyndee sabotaged their computers so that the drive would destroy itself the next time it turned on.

With that bit done, we walked off with the droids and flew over to the Republic base stealthily, dropping off the droids to tear it up. Which they did, but I was hoping to do some of the destroying myself.

Afterwards, we managed to get our payment from the empire (after some prodding from Savn) for destroying the base and then met up with Zrak to get our payment for stealing the plans and destroying the imperial's research.

We flew off to neutral territory to discuss what we should do next. We were sitting on the plans for cutting edge tech, and had the knowledge and resources to do our own research and development. We decided to call that scientist back to try and steal him away and be our researcher, but the Baron showed up during the call and ended the guy. Luckily, the dude had given us names of prospective scientists in the field who could probably make great strides with the reseach, 

So now all we needed to do is get a facility and entice one of the people on the list to work for us.
