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.

Comments

"Thank you, Kay,"

As soon as he's in, Cassian moves through the halls to the back of the factory floor and starts setting the bombs. A cleaning droid trundles by them before continuing its rounds. Once they're all placed, Cassian checks that he hasn't missed anywhere and turns to leave.

[rebel_droid]

Kay stands by on guard, shooing off the cleaning droid when he decides it's lingering too long.

When Cassian is finished Kay gives a nod. "We are two point one five minutes ahead of schedule."

[childofrebellion]

There are footsteps down the hall and a droid voice says, "You do not need to clean that corridor. If you get lost again, we will both be in trouble."

Cassian glances up at Kay and says, "I knew it felt too easy."

An older labor droid appears in the corner, "Who are you?"

[rebel_droid]

Looking first at Cassian, Kay's head swivels towards the other droid, and then his body turns to follow.

"We are-- we are K-2SO, and... this man." Kay makes a vague gesture at Cassian, then counters, "Who are you?"

[childofrebellion]

Cassian looks at Kay and opens his hands as he approaches the droid. If they can just distract it enough to get out, they should be fine, "Oh there you are. I was just trying to find a supervisor."

The droid tilts its head, "I am B-TX9 and you are not allowed to be in here. I will inform my supervisor."

[rebel_droid]

"Yes, you should do that. Your supervisor went... over there." Kay debates, then points in the direction he and Cassian actually came from.

[childofrebellion]

The droid looks between them, sorting out its orders, "I will call Sergeant Vance, he will know what to do."

Cassian takes a step towards the droid, they can't risk a patrol being called in, he just needs to remember where the kill switch is on this model.

Its an old one that he's not familiar with, "There's no reason to do that."

[rebel_droid]

That doesn't seem like it would be a good thing for them, so Kay tries again.

"Yes, there is no reason to do that. We have... called Sergeant Vance already." That is very believable, right?

[childofrebellion]

With a click, the droid pulls out a comm link as Cassian tries to grab it and reach into the droid to find some way to turn it off.

The droid lifts him up and tosses him down the corridor where he hits a wall, but he does have the comm link, "Kay, what's our timing?"

Standing up hurts as the droid threw him hard, but he can manage to stand as the droid turns to Kay.

[rebel_droid]

Kay isn't fast enough to stop Cassian from being pitched down the hallway, but he does step in right after to shove the other droid hard in the shoulders; ramming it into a post.

"One minute, eighteen seconds on our window," he informs Cassian.

[childofrebellion]

"Then we need to go, it can't communicate with anyone," He says as he tucks the comm link in his pocket, it might be useful.

"You are not authorized to be here," The droid says but from how hard Kay pushed it, it can't move or do anything.

Cassian waits for Kay and leans on the wall, he should be able to walk just not fast.

[rebel_droid]

Kay stands a moment to make sure the other droid isn't going to move at Cassian again, then turns and joins Cassian; holding out an arm to lend support should Cassian need it.

"It could identify you later, if it survives the blast." However unlikely that might be, considering the charges that Cassian has rigged.

[childofrebellion]

Cassian draws his blaster as he leans on Kay and shoots the droid in the head, "Now it won't. Let's get moving."

The detonators will be going off soon and they need to not be close to it.

[rebel_droid]

"Thirty-nine seconds," Kay notes as he starts heading them in the direction of the route they'd mapped out in Cassian's plans.

[childofrebellion]

As fast he can, Cassian limps and runs down the various corridors while trying not to lean on Kay too much. He can feel that something's not right in his ankle but he can move.

The door out finally appears as the countdown goes in his head and he keeps going forward, not running as that would draw attention but quickly. As they pass an alley partly away from the factory, the explosions start, rocking the ground and Cassian holds onto Kay.

[rebel_droid]

He stands fast for Cassian, helping him to keep upright as the explosion rips through the facility, sending people running and screaming one way, while Troopers jump to arms heading in the other.

"You will require medical care," Kay notes, heading them in the direction of the parked ship.

[childofrebellion]

"I know but its not too bad,"

No one looks too closely at them as everyone's focused on the explosion and they're heading away. A 'trooper pauses as they walk past but doesn't stop to talk.

[rebel_droid]

Kay remains on alert until they are on the ship and he's in his seat, programming their departure.

"Patrols will be in the air soon, we should leave immediately," he informs Cassian.

[childofrebellion]

Cassian nods and completes his checks and briefly talks to the port to get clearance, sounding impatient and then says, "We're cleared."

[rebel_droid]

As soon as Cassian gives the word Kay punches it, lifting off and leaving the chaos behind.

"Congratulations on not dying," he says.

[childofrebellion]

"I wasn't going to die," As soon as they're safely in hyperspace, he turns his chair to lift his leg and see how bad it is.

[rebel_droid]

"You were eight point five seconds away from not escaping your own detonation," Kay informs Cassian.

[childofrebellion]

That's much closer than he realized and looks at his boot, his foot has swelled slightly inside it, "But I did. I hate injuries like this."

He can walk but if he shows it to a medic, they'll try and ground him. Yet he also needs it checked out in case it gets worse.

[rebel_droid]

Kay plots out their course then turns to look at Cassian.

"Are there injuries that you like?" he asks.

[childofrebellion]

They are heading for his rendezvous and usually Draven sends more missions while they're away to save time.

He tries moving and stretching his ankle which hurts and he hisses in pain, "Yes, if its bleeding I can put bacta on it and keep going. Next stop is a cantina for a conversation, less chance for trouble."
