Argyle swung his blade hard as he pulled from cover. He stood and began deflecting bolts, drawing in breath before with a swift motion shoved his hand forward. Like a flex of a muscle he channeled the Dark Side of the Force, sending a wave into the droids and in turn sent them flying towards the wall their backs were to. The disturbance in the force would have got his colleagues attention...Paltos was not the kind of man to give away just how powerful he was, but given that time was of the essence he had didn't have the time to play games.
"As I said dear fellow" came a calm voice over Hakim's comm, "Try to please be careful of booby traps" before the comms went quiet again. Argyle began to look around, this for booby traps first to ensure he would not be caught with the proverbial pants down again. He took his time this time, searching for various nooks and crannies for a hidden switch or any more pressure plates. He had found another and made a point to jam the foot plate and then after a while found a hidden switch under the desk. After disabling the buttons he found a third. Curiosity piqued, and sensing no danger from this switch he pushed it. A hidden compartment in the wall opened to reveal a safe locked heavily up before him. With a grin, Paltos ignited his saber once more and sliced the hinges and flicked a bit at the lock. With a mere wave of his hand, the door tore open with a shriek even Hakim would have heard from his position. Inside Paltos' eyes widened as a smirk became a rather fiendish smile as he extinguished his blade.
"My Dear Hakim!" came Argyle's voice as he began pulling book after book off the first shelf, restraining himself from taking some of the valuable jewels and cash in the upper levels, "Once you've finished your job of disabling the droids do please return to the main chamber..." he said looking to find the emergency shut off for any and all alarms on the base inside the safe. With a smirk he turned the switch and the alarms stopped and everything returned to quiet normality on the compound, "...I have such sites to show you!" he explained as he turned his way from the proverbial treasure vault and began reading some of the ledgers he had already absconded...
