Carbon freezing is NOT an option

I lock weapons on the freighter and its shields go up and weapons are appearing all over their hull. I hear So'Zen over the comms requesting me to take off the sensor lock. He even says please. I have Spook remove the sensor locks and they put the weapons away. I listen in on the chat. After So'Zen finishes with the Jawas he translates what they have said and then Vanya suggests that there might be something not right with the station. I check myself with ship's sensors and I see the outpost is built into a shallow ravine. Most of the outpost is in the bottom of the canyon, but there are four towers that rise up. I see landing pads that would hold my X-Wing and the shuttle, but there are minerals in the soil that are confusing my sensors. If we land, it will be with no help from the ship.
 
Vanya asks if I want any food brought my way when they land and I say I'll take anything they find. We discover there is a landing pad with a beacon that will allow the shuttle to land more safely if I ace pilot in and turn it on. I start to fly in, but I see dim lights turn on in the towers and the lights on the landing pads briefly flicker. It doesn't feel right so I veer off and make another approach. This time there are no lights and I smoothly land next to the beacon. I put on my rebreather and disembark telling Spook to hang on and keep the engines ready. I notice the extreme age of the installation as I wander over to the beacon and I can see that it has been hotwired recently. I go ahead and open it up and turn it on and tell the others to come on down. Once they land, I ask Davish to come over and check out the beacon. He is just as confused as I am.
 
Everyone else is wondering where the Jawa ship is. I am curious, but this place is kinda creepy. So'Zen asks for a rare earth magnet because that is a way to disable the warehouse lock doors. I say Spook will probably have one and toss that question her way. Of course she does. In fact, she has four of all different colors. So'Zen takes the green one, wraps a cloth around it and applies it to the door lock. It moans and groans and eventually opens and there is a shuttle with holes in it. Not from weapon fire though. Inside the huge warehouse, there is only one Jawa shuttle and some crates of parts. Lots of empty spaces everywhere.
 
There are two tunnels heading away with one bigger than the other one. Vanya asks me which one the Jawas would have taken and I immediately respond with the smaller one because there would be more expensive items at the end of the tunnel. My intuition is proven correct as we see Jawa footprints heading towards the hazard lock - which is broken. So'Zen suggests we head toward the CNC. Both of the Jedi seem to be in a fog and are heading towards the hazard lock so I follow them while Hicks keeps an eye on Danar who heads to CNC. He tells me he has a lot of stories to share about the shenanigans of Jedi. I can't wait to have more ammunition to use against the So'Zen. We move closer to the end of the hallway as the other team enters the first door. We walk past broken droids and damaged hallways. We see different languages written on the walls. So'Zen tells us that it is probably Sith and then Vanya goes into the center of the room and bows. Than holograms appear over the various doors. The Jedi determine that the Jawas are straight ahead and we move forward.
 
We get to a dead end and there are tunnels to the left and right. It looks like the Jawas split up and there are drag marks to the right which appears to be a med bay type area. Both Jedi agree to follow the injured Jawas to the right. I keep following behind. We reach a medical bay with empty cloning chambers. There is a lot of dust, but suddenly So'Zen starts looking around wildly. He finds the Jawas in stasis tubes and they detach and start to haul them off. So'Zen also piles a bunch of the crates to carry back to the open area for later retrieval. We head back to the large room to leave the gurneys.
 
We head down the other corridor and get the two Jawas out of their hidey-hole. We start heading back to the central unit and I glance into the room they were hiding in. It seems to be a circular room that appears to have been heavily searched and I see a hologram with a distinguished gentleman who has two pistol grip lightsabers. I holler at Vanya and tell hour about it. She agrees to keep watch while I go back into the room and get the data chip and hear the name of Qui Jon before I drop it in my belt pouch. I hear a tap, tap, scrap from somewhere and ask Vanya if I should investigate. She says no and we head back to join the others where the gurneys are. I hear a metallic hum and turn to see a blood-red glow coming from a ventilation shaft and I slide the door closed. The glow diminishes even though the door does not shut completely.
 
We meet up with the others and there is discussion about battle droids on patrol. Then Danar apparently needs to go see the cloning tubes so I take them on a run back to the med bay. I listen to the comm chatter from So'Zen and Davish about the chip. We enter the med bay and Danar and Hicks investigate the cloning chambers. They finish and we start to head back but then we hear the footsteps of battle droids on patrol. We re-enter the med bay and I slide the door closed, but we see all six droids with lightsabers. We discuss whether they had seen us or not, but I go ahead and call for help from the Jedi. Hicks tells me to hide behind the crates and I turn on my shield. Ready for battle!
 
All six droids enter the med bay and stand in two rows of three. Hicks and I coordinate and shot the back two corner droids with two shots and they splash harmlessly against a crystal shield. I ask Hicks for suggestions since I am fairly sure he has fought something like this before and he tells me to shoot at their feet. I am dubious but do as he suggests and shoot at the feet of the same droid. The shield does go up, but the droid seems to stumble a bit. I don't know what happens with the second shot. Hicks fires at the same time and manages to knock back one droid into the door panel and it is trapped in the door.
 
The one I had shot at continues advances towards me and puts away his lightsaber and pulls out a blaster pistol and does a quick three-shot burst. I huddle down behind the crates and my shield and they all miss. Then there is an explosion and I am pushed against the wall - with a battle droid right in front of me. I shoot him at point-blank range twice in the foot area. The first shot hits the shield and is absorbed, but the second shot is in the exact same spot and bursts the shield and takes out the knee joint. He falls backward.
 
I am about to take another shot when I feel the floor underneath me drop. I fall a few feet into a chamber that I recognize - it is a carbon freezing chamber. Next thing I know that droid falls down in front of me. I smash my shield into his face, grab his lightsaber arm and push it into him, then use the droid as a launching pad to impel me up and out of the pit. I hear the carbon nozzles activate behind me and can smell the fumes of carbon as I lay on the floor above and beside the pit.
 
Danar comes over and helps me up and then I fire at the last battle droid hitting him and taking out the last one. Danar calls me over to pick up one of the battle droids lightsabers and I attempt to explain why that is a bad idea. He doesn't seem to get it but I refuse to touch it myself. So'Zen comes around and cuts them all in half and then we take the Mandalore guy back to the Queen and continue searching for trouble.
 
We end up in the library and I find the security equipment and do a search. I find a video with Almon D'Joy from a year ago. In it, he plots against the Crimson Knights, Vanya, Danar, and So'Zen. I am apparently either not considered a threat or is the secret weapon in the group.
