Preparation and Raid

[childofrebellion]

Cassian pats the shuttle as he gets off, nodding to the pilot before stepping off and starting towards Ops and Draven.

If he reports first then he can find Kay and get some rest perhaps even see if whoever's cooking needs help. As he walks back, he notes the extra movement and wonders which of the possible raids is going ahead.

He gets a few nods but not that many, he's not around that much and tends to keep to himself, its safer in the long run.

Comments

Begrudgingly Kay opens the door and then steps back out of the way.

"You still have to eat," he reminds Cassian.

[childofrebellion]

"General Draven said you might say that, this is the mission briefing. We'll be leaving in half an hour, sir," The young human messenger passes over a datachip and leaves, eyeing Kay cautiously.

Cassian says first to the messenger and then to Kay, "Thank you, I'll be there soon. And I'm eating."

[rebel_droid]

Kay ignores that look and brings the datachip over to Cassian.

"How were things at the swoop races?" Kay asks, standing by as Cassian eats.

[childofrebellion]

"Good, I found the intel I needed and there was only one horrible crash,"

As he eats, he slots the datachip in and scans the mission briefing, a raid and he and Kay will be covering a route along with looking for other opportunities. Then he hands it to Kay to read.

[rebel_droid]

Kay looks over the briefing, reaching one hand out to nudge the tray, just to make sure Cassian keeps eating.

"I suppose you were in the middle of that crash," he says, certain that even on a low-danger mission Cassian somehow found a way to become endangered, just as Kay knew he would.

[childofrebellion]

At the nudge, Cassian goes back to eating and shrugs,

"I was closer than I wanted to be but not in the middle of it."

[rebel_droid]

"You were in danger," Kay concludes, "And alone. I could have been at the races, too."

Sticking out like a sore thumb, but that is beside the point.

[childofrebellion]

"I was in the stands, everyone was in danger. No, you wouldn't have blended in well. This next mission, you'll be an asset, help the rest of us not draw too much attention,"

Kay's worry for him is reassuring and he's glad that this is a larger raid. Even though they won't be in with everyone else, its nice to not work as alone.

[rebel_droid]

Kay doesn't agree, but he's mollified at least knowing he'll be there this time.

"It seems a rather straightforward plan," he notes, handing the plans back to Cassian.

[childofrebellion]

"It does. I don't need to change too much of what I'm bringing,"

He finishes the last few bites and considers his pack before changing out a few things in it. Then yawns as he stands up, "That should be everything, I'll try and nap in the transport."

[rebel_droid]

Satisfied when Cassian finishes his food, Kay falls in ready to follow.

[childofrebellion]

Cassian stands up and grabs his tray and pack, "Let's go."

Outside the bustle of the base is quieter and a pilot waves to them from another transport.

[rebel_droid]

Kay lifts his arm to hail the pilot back, not much caring if the gesture was meant for him or not.

The transport dips as Kay steps onto it, and he looks for a place near Cassian to occupy.

[childofrebellion]

There are two seats near the back and Cassian sets down as the pilot starts getting ready to leave. Once they’ve lifted off, Cassian closes his eyes and leans on Kay to get some more rest.

[rebel_droid]

Kay settles in to be a rest for Cassian, as always ready to shoo away anyone until they've landed.

[childofrebellion]

It’s a few hours before they reach the spaceport on an old mining station. Cassian wakes up about half an hour before they land and reviews the mission before preparing his blaster.

[rebel_droid]

Kay handles Cassian pack and follows the man off of the transport.

"What a dirty place," he notes with distaste.

[childofrebellion]

As they get off, Cassian considers that before saying while they move off into a higher postion, “Easier to blend in.”

[rebel_droid]

"I feel like that is a comment on us more than the places we visit," Kay notes.

A beat, and then he adds, "Because we never visit anywhere nice."

In case that part wasn't clear.

[childofrebellion]

“We don’t do nice work,” Its needed and important but not nice. Cassian finds a good spot to set up his sniper blaster and cover the rest of the raid.

[rebel_droid]

For once Kay doesn't make comment.

While Cassian gets ready, Kay takes up a position to watch over him that's out of the way and out of view of any targets that may enter Cassian's scope.

[childofrebellion]

Its fairly quiet, they're watching a series of entrances to warehouses where there are materials that the Empire is using various companies to shift.

Cassian adjusts his position as the comms are quiet other than the rest of the team getting into position. It all seems to be going according to plan.

[rebel_droid]

"It seems to be going well," Kay notes from behind Cassian.

"That probably means things are about to go wrong."

[childofrebellion]

"True and they can go wrong in a few different ways. Tell me all our odds,"

That way he can start running through more plans.

[rebel_droid]

Kay though Cassian would never ask, and was about to start supplying the odds without a request.

Since Cassian did ask, though, Kay goes through it.

Overall they stand a greater than average chance of not dying, but still the possibility, as ever, still remains.
