Though the Smuggler's Haven was desolate, Alkor's HUD flashed with warnings as he approached the various buildings and fortifications. "Looks like bringing the base online also triggered the old defensive measures," he muttered, though the comm was set on a secure frequency. If anyone heard him, or was listening at all, he would be somewhat surprised. After all, they had decided to move separately.
He kicked one rock through a partly opened door, just to check for motion activated traps. When nothing happened, he pushed it open a fraction more. Caution flashed across his HUD. "What the hell-"
The sound of blaster fire surged from within as his helmet raced to identify the source. "Mounted turret," he huffed as his body hurried for refuge behind the bulk of the door. Suprheated pock marks concentrated on the central area its central region warned Alkor that the defenses were most likely slaved to some high tier targeting systems. Possibly a Droid Brain. "And me without any EMPs," he lamented.
A whine came from the turret as it powered down, and Alkor started to count in his head. One, two, three, four... he poked his head out from behind cover and looked for the turret, which was painted as hostile by his helmet. Observant bastard, ain't you? he thought.
Twenty five seconds. Another burst of sustained fire ripped toward him, the only warning he got a scream in his ear. Alkor pulled back from the door as the heat became too intense, and the metal frame began to give. He watched the door as it warped and contorted.
The fire stopped after ten seconds, and Alkor bolted down the corridor.
