The Beast of Bacrana

A great mass of one or more biologicals was one of the possibilities within Matey's analysis (though a low probability one), so he is not surprised at the development, and just kind of mutters to himself "Roger, Roger...", while he descends and processes his next course of action.

It was concerning that, if they were headed this way, the momentum of the creatures is enough to topple a speeder or starship... That didn't bode well for individuals or even groups of the bipedals below.

During his descent, if he hasn't noticed one already (perhaps the woman representing and speaking to the workers?), he scans the crowd for someone with a voice-amplification device.

(Holding the director, with possibly some sort of broadcast/intercom access inside, in his mind as a last resort due to the extra time to get to it...)

If he can see or hear one, he descends directly toward that person, prepared to deliver the uncomfortable news.

His processors whirr and click as he scans his memory banks for what the creatures could be, incase that might help organizing a response. His programming was not directly oriented toward this sort of knowledge, but his processor were fast and capable searchers...

Banthas. The large curved horns, the massive size, easily identified within Matey's memory banks. Descending his first concern was for the intelligent species below, his second for a means to communicate the approaching doom, as the creatures have already begun to overrun the landing fields. His own internal amplifiers should more than accomplish the task for the gathered crowd, though his secondary thought of having the Director broadcast some sort of warning was certainly valid.

Not wanting to cause a panic - still looking for someone best capable of communicating the message, and so transmitted over his comms to Reynar, " There is a large heard of bantha stampeding in this direction. I would suggest everyone moving to a secure location..."

Matey, painfully, or at least as much as a droid could be self-aware, understood his lacking social graces made him a poor candidate to address the camp residents. Looking towards his associate and companion Reynar he reported his observations implying for the Twi'lek skip tracer relay the information to the crowd. Deng for his part worriedly looked towards the make shift structures, familiar enough with the corporate policies of those he worked for to know that cost cutting was the word of the day. He did recall however a more permanent structure on the edge of the camp used to store fuel, chemicals, and the like necessary to keep a mining and extraction operation functioning.

Though the Doctor's comments were more a thought, spoken aloud, anyone could see that the structures of the work camp were low cost and not by any means meant to be permanent. Reynar however, having spent a considerable amount of time in what he had come to call his own 'office', knew that being privately funded, that the local watering hole was a bit more structurally sound in its construction.

The droid settles as gently as possible next to the speaker, though the jetpack still blasts dust out in halo around his feet, and says quietly and as calmly but concisely as possible to the speaker, "Sorry to trouble you, however, please urge your fellow workers to head inside a secured structure in an orderly fashion. There is a large stampede of bantha heading directly for this plaza."

His head tilts back and forth gauging how his words are received, as his jetpack propulsors begin to shriek as they spin up again, as the droid prepares to head to a rooftop.

Despite his well delivered and authoritative statement to the Director, instructing the corporate exec to make haste to the storage facility and open the structure up for refuge, Marnis needed very little urging as he stood and as dignified as he could straightened his executive outfit and quickly paced towards the door, his access card in hand. Deng perhaps wanted to believe the Director was concerned with the safety of his workers but suspected the acceptance was more in order to save his own skin that that of the miners.

Reynar was the first to jump into action, hopping on his speeder bike with the stated intention of scouting out what may have startled the herd, only to be quickly joined by the Jedi Kitichik whose instructions may or may not have been heard over the growl of the speeder's engines. Once confident the Gand was secure Reynar gunned the engines, head tails flapping in the wind as he sped off.

M8-T, whose lack of social graces did not hinder him from looking out for the miners well being, urging the foreman to use her loudspeaker and get the crowd moving towards safety before jetting off in search of an appropriate rooftop, that just happened to be the storage facility that Deng was in the process of moving the town residents too.
