"I agree," says Shoshannah, nodding her head vigorously. "I don't like this at all." She thinks for a moment. "Once we find a place to jack in, I could use the Force to try to conceal us from view. But that may just draw the attention of these Dark Side Force users ..." She looks at the others to see what they think.

The doors closest to the entrance appears open. From their view points, the closest room is a larger, open room which looks like a cafeteria. The other side of the hallway looks to lead into a storage warehouse. Further down the hallway, they see closed doors which they can't visually tell if the doors are secured and require authorization or unsecured doors.
Various control panels with easily recognizable wiring conduits can be sighted running along the walls of the hallway, cafeteria, and warehouse rooms. Janos and others can assume that he could jack into one of the control panels and access at least some of the systems.

"Let's try one of these panels," Janos says quickly, moving to one of the panels. "If we can feel them, we should assume they can feel us. Let's not open ourselves up just yet. We might just pass for members of the crew with latent Force sensitivity."

Granite uses the force in very practical and hands-on ways, directly affecting the matter he interacts with. He doesn't dismiss the more esoteric arts, it is just so far away from how his personality operates that he can't relate to it. Like how engineering can involved all sorts of complicated and intricate equations, but university studies into pure mathematics dealing with infinite sets and number theory have no practical use to a person repairing an engine. They're interesting for sure, just too cerebral for his interests. Thus his lack of perception of any disturbances in the Force, Dark Side or otherwise, as he is only focused on his physical senses and the here-and-now.
"I leave any attempts at Force stealth to your best judgment, Shoshannah. I won't second guess you." He reaches a hand underneath his long coat to grasp the handle of his vibroax, claimed as a prize from a pirate captain in what seems eons ago. "I'm ready if things go loud."

"Masters, storage will probably have what we need..."
He proceeds just a few steps in the direction he wants to go - the storage area visible down one side of the hall - but waits on the folks checking a nearby panel on the wall.

Shoshannah sighs and looks at Janos. "Well, shall we give it another go? And if that doesn't work, we can decide on some riskier course of action."

"One more try, and after that I think we are pressing our luck too much," Janos agrees, turning back to the panel.

Chapter 4: Red Blades
Jedi Knight Janos and Jedi Shoshannah tries once more to hack into the facilities network, but their second attempt also fails. Just as the security alerts are triggered, Janos quickly detaches the datapad allowing them to mask their attempted slicing. He realizes that a third attempt might result in something worse than just a failed hacking attempt.
Meanwhile, someone enters the area slipping by Urizen's and Granite's watchful eyes. The masked figure wears dark armor and appears to be wearing a specialized breath mask covering their eyes and nostrils. Wearing all black, their cape bears symbols of the new Empire on the shoulders. The figure has a feminine cut to their armor's shape.
The figure turns and looks towards Granite and speaks, "You shouldn't have come here." The strained voice is recognized by Jedi Knight Granite, the former Jedi Temple Guard. As she turns, she drops the box she was carrying, which alerts the others of her presence. Janos, Shoshannah, and Uri believe they are are currently unseen by the masked figure.
