[color=92278f]“We’ll keep to the crowds for now”[/color], Sev answered, [color=92278f]“It’s pretty lively so we should blend in better here than in the back alleys. Besides, it would just take even longer to get to the depot that way”[/color]. The chances of Six already being on their tail were pretty high. After all she’d managed to get the jump on Sev before. That stealth suit that she was sporting, it had to have been suppressing her energy signature.  Sev and all of her sisters possessed unique energy signature so that they could identify one another at a distance or in situations where they didn’t have a direct line of sight. It never occurred to Sev that she’d need to hide her energy signature. Up until last night she’d assumed that she was the only android left from her series. There were too many questions and not enough answers. However, her current situation was way more pressing. They needed to get off-world and fast. Both Nessa and herself were walking around with literal targets on their backs. The amount of stares and awkward glances was near non-existent as the odd couple navigated the puddle filled city streets. For the first time since her release among the general public, Sev wasn’t being ogled or scoffed at while she went on about her business. It was a refreshing change, a fleeting and short-lived one, but a welcome change nonetheless. 
	The once dusty and dry cityscape was now drenched and plastered with mud. The bottoms of Sev’s boots were becoming caked in the stuff as they navigated the labyrinthian streets. Overhead the storm was at it’s peak. Dense storm clouds had assembled to block out the usually star-filled night sky. Occasional arcs of white lightning would shoot across the sky and illuminate the city below. The night-life of this outpost was already beginning to stir. Neon colored lights and holographic imagery danced along the skyline as well as street level. It was as if the strife and turmoil of the city melted away with the rain itself. The cacophonous torrent was outmatched by the commotion and energy that filled the streets. Sev did her best to keep her head low but she couldn’t help but glance at her surroundings and take in the scenes of jubilation. She’d never once seen the people of this city be so collectively joyful. The downpour continued as they made their way ever so closer to safety. Everything had been going relatively smooth, aside from the occasional reveler bumping into them as they made their way. By Sev’s calculations they were only about a block away from the depot by now. It wouldn’t be long before they could leave this rock behind. 



	 Six repeated Feya’s words to herself inaudibly. Struggling to make sense of what the councilwoman was talking about, the android half shrugged. [color=f7941d]“I’ve got a lock on them”[/color], Six responded, [color=f7941d]“Stick to the shadows. We can’t risk spooking them just yet”[/color]. Six continued to eye the pair as they plotted their way through the crowded streets. They weren’t moving at a particularly fast rate either so it was easy enough for the android to keep an eye on them. From what Six could tell, Seven was using the ‘clingy couple’ method that they were instructed to use on escort and protection missions. Given this particular situation it was a very well executed escape plan. It just wasn’t executed well enough to elude her. The figure that Seven was escorting was the Star Hopper or at least that’s what Six had assumed. They were a lot smaller than she’d initially thought. She was almost disappointed. The Guard only summoned her for the big and challenging jobs or the ones that required infiltration and finesse. Jobs that required a little more tack than a battalion of heavily armored marines armed to the teeth. Six had a limited understanding of why she was sent to hunt this woman but she couldn’t understand how a Council member had gotten taken out by such an unassuming entity. Maybe she should ask Feya.
	Six kept to the rooftops as she tailed her sister, launching herself from building to building. With unsettling grace and balance she parkoured off of neon signs and flipped through holographic billboards. They weren’t far from the complex where she’d been ‘gathering intel’ from earlier. The combination of strobing neon light and rain caused the particles of her stealth suit to flicker and distort as she moved. Untrained organic eyes would only noticed the smallest shimmer in the moving through the air. She’d tracked them for a decent distance now. After surveying the landscape a bit she figured out that they were near the area where she fought Seven last night. What could she be planning? 
	Once again, Six perched on a neon street sign and activated the holographic map of the immediate area. She rotated the map a couple of times with her off-hand, trying to learn every possible angle. That’s when she found it. There was a ship depot fairly close by. That must have been where Seven was returning from the night before. This was it. This was their moment to get ahead of them. [color=f7941d]“I know where they’re headed”[/color], Six hissed into the com, [color=f7941d]“There’s a ship depot up the street a ways. I’ll take the front. The building schematics that I’m looking at suggest an access point on the roof. If we play our cards right, we can corner them”[/color].
