The U-wing bumps down and Cassian mutters in Festian as they stop, "Easy, easy, almost there."

Once they're set, he stands up with a nod and looks at Kay and Sombra while checking his holster and supplies, "How are we looking, Kay?"

Kay moves his pallet onto the ship, forgoing his usual diligent and organized loading in the name of getting them ready to take off immediately.

"Now would be a good time for our friend to return," he says back to Cassian.

"You do know I can hear you?" Sombra asks, tapping her earpiece, where she left a sister one on-board the ship.

"I will be back shortly."

It's only as she's' slipping out of the ductwork that she realizes a tiny mouse droid is zooming down the corridor.

"¡Chin!"

One last thing to take care of.

"Then you know you should come back now," he replies.

Obviously he was trying to be polite before. Or, more likely, he knows not to order people around so an indirect suggestion is the workaround on that.

"You promised to try to not die," he reminds the both of them as he goes through his calculations to put them into hyperdrive once they take off.

"I do not want any witnesses," Sombra says, sliding across the floor after the mouse, tossing her last translocator just ahead of it.

"Uno momentito."

She has just enough time to hack the little thing and make it a) disable its visual and audio monitoring systems and b) follow her back to the ship like a tame little . . . mouse.

"Coming!" she sings out over comms, making her very rapid -- and invisible -- way back to the ship.

"Uno momentito?" Kay repeats, without any hint of a proper accent and clearly not comprehending.

He brings the engines online, waiting for them so they can take off.

To Cassian, Kay responds, "Your best is only acceptable if it includes not dying."

Clearly.

Sombra comes in at a run, the mouse droid tucked under her arm.

She tosses her translocator near to the cannon and vanishes, reappearing with her holographic keyboard out and ready, fingers flying over it as purple sparks jump over the cannon.

"Hack complete," she says, sounding very satisfied.

And then she throws another translocator over toward Cassian, reappearing there and continuing her breakneck run toward the ship.

"That was bracing!"

"Bracing? You really are a very strange human, Sombra," Kay notes, flipping switches, pushing buttons, and then easing the ship off the ground.

"Hacked it," Sombra says smugly.

"For the next little while it does as I say. Though we should probably leave very quickly, I do not know how good they will be at bringing it back under their control."

Then she wrinkles her nose in Kay's direction.

"I am," she agrees with him. "And proud of it. It keeps me interesting!"

"You are interesting," Kay allows.

The alarm was concerning, and he checked their position relative to the fighter and calculated the time they had to get out of the atmosphere.

"Sixty seconds, at best." Longer, if they had to pull any evasive maneuvering.

"You say the sweetest things, Kay."

Sombra leans forward, holographic keyboard poised right below the fingers of her left hand.

"Can you establish a radio -- or any kind of communications -- connection with our pursuers?"

"You wish to speak to them?" Kay asks Sombra, surprised. "Do you think they'd like to be your friends, too?"

"I do not want to be their friend," Sombra says, smile and voice both gone sharp.

Her fingers fly over her holographic keyboard, purple streaks of light sparkling around her free hand.

"But I do want to give them a present."

She touches the comm board with said purple-glowing hand, and the entire cockpit electrical system lights up. Something travels over the wires, and the TIE fighters following them will shortly have a very memorable surprise.

EMP pulses are tricksy things! Especially when they are very, very localized.

"I think we will have less of a problem with pursuit now, no?"

"We are no longer being pursued," Kay announces.

A few moments after they break free of the atmosphere Kay engages the hyperdrive and they are on their way.

"My job," Sombra says, only a little smugly.

"I told you I was the best."

Kay considers the no longer trailing TIE fighter and says, "I hope you never send me a present."

"Here," Sombra says, flicking her fingers in the air and sliding a tiny holographic packet toward Cassian's datapad. "That's everything."

Then she grins at Kay.

"I like you too much to get you a present, Kay. Never fear."

Well, for now.
