On base with Kay

[childofrebellion]

Cassian wants to be going on a mission again but that means getting all the pieces together.

As he's finding sleep hard to come by, he takes his datapad and goes to rest on Kay where he's recharging.

Soon he has projections of possible routes and options for a sabotage up and the plan's looking like something he can take to Draven and command for approval.

"Am I going with you?"

Kay's voice breaks the silence and he tries to peer at the datapad and Cassian's plan.

[childofrebellion]

"Yes, I need your help to get in there. See if we get deep enough in, we can break the production line,"

He zooms in the floor plan to show Kay where he means, its not a major enough factory to have lots of security but its always there. Also he adjusts how he's sitting to get the warmth from Kay and yawns.

[rebel_droid]

Scanning over the plan, Kay begins calculations.

"I see. It is good, that you are using my help."

[childofrebellion]

"Jobs work better with you. And on the way or back, I can meet up with a possible informant,"

And if Kay's calculations aren't too low then the persuasion will be easier as he wants to get going.

[rebel_droid]

"With me present the probability of success is seventy-one point six percent," he announces.

"We can meet up with a possible informant," he corrects.

[childofrebellion]

He types that number into the plan, that will make everyone happier,

"Not this one, she's an archivist in the Empire and knows me as a pilot. Seeing you will make her suspicious."

[rebel_droid]

"But you just said jobs work better with me," he argues.

[childofrebellion]

"They do, most of the time, but this is two jobs. The sabotage will because no one looks at me when you're behind me. But with informants, its different, they would remember you too much. You can be nearby keeping watch in case anything goes wrong."

[rebel_droid]

That mollifies him a little.

"I will keep watch, because things often go wrong." Especially when Kay is not involved.

[childofrebellion]

"Not often just sometimes,"

Someone has to go out there and get it and he can.

[rebel_droid]

"Would you like me to provide you with the statistics on things going wrong?" he asks, perfectly willing to supply Cassian with said data.

[childofrebellion]

"No, I don't need it and even if it does go wrong, we get out of it,"

They're a good team and he'd rather be facing the risks than anything else.

[rebel_droid]

"Yes, we," he says in agreement, deciding that he'll be emphasizing all the 'we's' from now on to make the point to Cassian.

[childofrebellion]

Cassian rubs his face, he's not awake enough to get into this and pulls up the plan,

"Do you see any ways to improve the plan?"

[rebel_droid]

Kay scans over the plan again, lifting a hand to point and indicate one of Cassian's targets.

"If you move this charge over here it will increase damage to structural supports by seventeen percent."

[childofrebellion]

"The damage won't catch us?"

With the right timing it shouldn't but he hadn't put one there due to worrying about that.

[rebel_droid]

"We will be fine," Kay replies. "Utilizing this hallway and exit here, rather than this one you've indicated."

He points out the alternate route on the floor plan.

[childofrebellion]

"We'll have to time it just right, the patrols pass by that exit,"

That will make it simpler, but they're still a factor.

[rebel_droid]

"I should think the explosions will be sufficient distraction," he points out.

[childofrebellion]

"Yes, if it all goes as it should,"

He's trying to cover everything so Kay won't spot any holes.

[rebel_droid]

"Which it probably won't," he replies with some semblance or resignation.

"I should have a blaster, for if things do go awry."

[childofrebellion]

"You don't need a blaster and security droids don't usually carry them,"

It would be odder if Kay had one.

[rebel_droid]

It was a worthy attempt, not the first one Kay's made, nor the last, but he lets it drop for now.

"When are we going to go?"

[childofrebellion]

"As soon as we get approval and a ship, but that will have to wait until everyone else is up,"

He leans back against Kay, a few more hours and the base will be awake.

[rebel_droid]

"You should rest," he says, returning to his original position now that he is satisfied with their plan.

"It will be easier for you to gain their approval if you do not appear wornout and underslept."
