Six propped herself up between a wall and the neon sign that she was standing on. It had been awhile since she actually had to work with organics. She’d forgotten how much slower they were by comparison. Six sighed dramatically into the coms as she continued to thumb through the holographic display on her wrist. It only took her a couple of seconds to find an alternate route for her temporary partner, but it was a couple of seconds that she could’ve been using to get into position for the ambush. [color=f7941d]“There’s a network of runoff tunnels that runs from the alleys and up into one of the ship holding areas. Turns out that’s the only area holding an active ship so odds are that’s where they’re trying to go. If you don’t mind getting a little wet, that should get you to the Star Hopper. I’ll distract the android so she’ll be all yours”[/color]. Six felt secure in her plan. If all goes well she’ll get a chance to destroy her little sister and get a nice stack of credits as well. Although, she never really had any use for money, the thought of being able to actually purchase things excited her. She didn’t bother waiting for a response. They needed to get into position and soon. The element of surprise was on their side. Seven is expecting Six without a doubt and she’d probably be expecting some two-bit bounty hunter to show up. There’s no way she’d be expecting a two pronged attack from Six and a powerful Council member. Six continued to throw herself from building to building as lightning filled the sky above. She broke away from Sev’s current path and positioned herself on a building near the ship depot. She could see her sister plotting along on the ground. Her usual playful grin tugged at her face as she waited for her chance to strike. 


	It took a lot longer than Sev had anticipated but their journey was almost at an end. Things were going suspiciously well. She scanned the horizon and nearby rooftops for any sign of Six or anything that stood out. Nothing seemed out of place. At least from what she could tell. Sev had a growing feeling unease but she chalked it up to being out and among the people. Maybe the impromptu rave that was happening around them was unsettling her. Out of the corner of her eye she could just barely make out the sight of Nessa seemingly staring at her. However it didn’t appear to be the look of bewilderment or concealed hatred that she was used to. It was a look that she’d only received once before from someone she once held dear. The android continued to pretend to not notice Nessa’s gaze as they pressed forward. She made a mental note to tease her about it later once they get out of this mess. If they get out of this mess.
	Sev kept leading the way, pushing and shoving her way through the mass of soaking townsfolk as she blazed a trail for Nessa. She glanced into the nearby alleyway and saw the hoverbike that she’d abandoned just sitting dormant and non-responsive. It was a shame really. Even though it wasn’t really hers Sev still enjoyed the thing. It’ll probably be one of the only things that she misses about this dump. The cool blue colors of the holographic sign for the ship depot danced overhead as they approached the shop. Without bothering to kick the mud from her boots, Sev stormed the automatic doors. Muddy footprints and a trail of rain water were left in her wake as she crossed the rusted, warped floor and approached the clerk’s counter. “Ah, you’re back”, the feeble clerk android croaked. 
	[color=92278f]“Cut the chit-chat X. We’re pressed for time”[/color], Sev shot back, [color=92278f]“Is the ship ready or not”[/color]? The chrome android behind the desk began navigating the computer screen in front of him. His fingers trembled and danced over the rectangular display with an uncomfortable pace. 
	“R-right”, X stammered, “Um, bay one. The Heavenly Body”. A look of confusion and  disgust fell over Sev’s face for the briefest of moments before she regained her composure.
	[color=92278f]“Fine, we’ll take it. Come on"[/color], Sev nodded her head in the direction of the holding area for their new ship. Sev had just managed to remove her hand from the countertop when a metallic clang rang out, resounding throughout the lobby. The heated knife Six sat at least 2 inches into the carbon material of the countertop in the space Sev’s hand was not even a second ago. [color=92278f]“Shit”[/color], Sev sighed. A shimmer apparated at the entrance of the lobby and Six appeared before them. Only she wasn’t as pristine as the night before. Her hair was soaked and matted. The crisp white flight jacket that she donned was plastered with orange Vesh blood. Apparently she’d been busy since the last time they crossed paths. [color=f7941d]“A little lizard tipped me off”[/color], Six called. She slid a handful of blue scales and a golden fang across the floor. The items skittered to a halt at Sev’s feet and she immediately knew what Six had done. [color=f7941d]“You and I have unfinished business little sis”[/color].
	Sev locked eyes with Six. She wasn’t afraid, not this time. This was the fight of her life and there was no chance that Six was going to hold back this time. Without dropping eye contact with Six, Sev began shedding the two bags she’d been carrying and slid them across the floor to Nessa. The android clerk was already cowering under his desk by this point.[color=92278f] “Get to the ship and prep for launch”[/color], she chose her words slowly and deliberately,[color=92278f] “I can buy you some time but if I’m not there by the time the engines are prepped and ready then leave without me”[/color]. With that, Sev wrenched the heated knife out of the counter with blinding speed and threw it towards Six’s head. In an instant Six had managed to duck underneath the blade of the knife  before snatching it out of the air harmlessly by the grip. Sev assumed her fighting stance and brought her fists up, preparing to either attack or go on the defensive. Six cartwheeled across the floor at inhuman speeds with all the grace of a gymnast before leaping several feet in the air and plummeting towards Sev with knife in hand.
