Adventures with Kay and Sombra

[childofrebellion]

Cassian rested his hand on his pistol blaster in his bag as he walked towards the ship. It would be good to get off this spaceport as there were more refugees and smugglers, a dangerous combination. A delicious smell surprised him and Cassian stopped to near the doorway as a voice called out, "Everyone must eat. Do you want to spend your time hungry in hyperspace?"

There wasn't much in the ship and it would be good to prepare before the next mission which had tight timing. He opened the door to find Milliways, another good option.

This port has a mixture of species and as they pass through a gate the architecture changes.

Now there are various landing pads and Cassian starts out to one of the ends, not all the way but almost. They're less guarded which is worth a longer walk.

Sombra would start tossing her translocator around, in order to better explore, but the mission seems to be somewhere after boarding the ship, so that would be a waste.

[childofrebellion]

Cassian turns into one of the bays where a U-wing is docked and pulls out a comm from his pocket,

"Kay, I'm back with an invited guest."

[rebel_droid]

"A guest? Why would you bring a guest?" comes the reply back over the comm.

Shortly after the door of the ship opens and Kay is standing there.

"I don't like guests."

[messwiththebest]

"Kay!"

Sombra mimes being shot in the heart.

"I am wounded to hear our friendship means so little to you."

(She is not wounded in the least, this is hilarious.)

[childofrebellion]

“I owe her after helping me before, be nice,” He hops into the shop and offers Sombra his hand.

[rebel_droid]

Kay's head tilts and he studies the woman.

Turning to Cassian, Kay gives a nod in Sombra's direction.

"We are not friends," he informs Cassian. "Does she know another Kay?"

Which is to say, has Cassian been hanging out with other droids???

Regardless, Kay steps aside and gestures them both in.

[messwiththebest]

Sombra just laughs, bright and delighted.

"Oh, Kay. All of my friends say that to me!"

At least Reaper, Widowmaker, and Doomfist do. Probably Katya Volskaya, too. Go figure.

[childofrebellion]

Cassian smiles to himself as he changes out of his leather jacket into his flight vest and puts everything away,

"No, she doesn't. She likes you. Let's get ready to go."

[rebel_droid]

"It doesn't sound like they are friends at all," Kay comments before walking away to take his seat in the co-pilots chair.

"Why is she here?" Kay asks Cassian, and it could be Kay is trying to ask the question as an aside, but while he speaks only to Cassian, Kay's voice doesn't lower any.

[messwiththebest]

Sombra leans closer to Cassian, giving a loud stage-whisper.

"He is sounding more and more like my friend every minute, don't you think?"

What?

[childofrebellion]

Between them, Cassian starts pre-flight,

"Sombra is an excellent slicer and I owed her a flight. You have odd friends."

[rebel_droid]

Kay's expression can't change, but he somehow still gives the air of being baffled.

"You are a very strange person," Kay decides, and informs Sombra of his decision.

With that declared, he starts prepping them for flight.

[messwiththebest]

"Like calls to like, no?" Sombra asks, directing a sunny smile first at Kay, then at Cassian.

She also takes this moment to ruffle Cassian's hair, because he is right there. And it is funny.

[childofrebellion]

Cassian moves his hand up to straighten his hair,

"Why do you keep doing that? You might want to find a seat or something to hold onto. Kay, are we all clear to leave? No new alerts?"

[rebel_droid]

"We are clear for take-off," Kay replies. "No new alerts or bulletins."

[messwiththebest]

"I do that because the face you make is very funny," Sombra says honestly.

Then she flops into a seat, looking for fasteners to hold herself in place.

"We are going to do the mission planning on the way, I take it?"

[childofrebellion]

There are some belts but not a lot. Cassian sighs as they get the all clear from the port and take off. As they leave the atmosphere, there’s a shift before jumping to hyperspace.

Once they’re clear in hyperspace, Cassian turns and gets out his datapad to pull up the information, “We’ve planned it, you’ll be an added help for any infiltration.”

[rebel_droid]

Kay's head turns in surprise.

"She is going to come on the mission? I do not think that is wise."

[messwiththebest]

"Wisdom does not have much to do with me, I am afraid."

Sombra beams cheerfully, wiggling her fingers in Kay's direction.

"And I will not be seen -- by eye or by sensors -- unless I choose to be. Budget electronics are no match for my programs."

[childofrebellion]

"The risks should be manageable, Kay and nothing we do is wise. We know the rotation and what security to expect and Sombra's an excellent slicer,"

He pulls up a map of the base with details of security, which isn't in use anymore though is set to be. That means a chance to get new and old intel as well as some supplies.

[rebel_droid]

"I have already completed my calculations for the probabilities of success on this mission. Now, with a new element, I shall have to recalculate," he says with an air of disapproval.

"Are your cloaking capabilities as good as you say?" he asks Sombra, because that will factor into his figures.

[messwiththebest]

Sombra isn't there.

[childofrebellion]

Cassian stays still and tries to see if he can figure out if Sombra's moving as she hides, "They are. I wouldn't bring her if she wouldn't be an asset."

[rebel_droid]

Kay scans the area and finds he is unable to locate her.

"Alright, that is a bit impressive." But just a bit.
