Six watched helplessly as the rust bucket that was Sev's escape vessel launched skyward. With a shriek of frustration she pressed herself against the nearest wall and slid down into a sitting position. There was no way that she could even hope to catch up with Sev, especially with the current state of her body. Moisture from the rain overhead began to gather along the floor and walls as Six sat, running simulations of how she could potentially disable Sev's ship. All of them either ended in failure or death. This wasn't how it was supposed to happen. The Council won't be pleased, more importantly her creator would be disappointed. [color=f7941d]"C-Command"[/color], Six stammered into the communicator installed on the wrist that was not destroyed, [color=f7941d]"Command come in. Scramble the interceptors. The target is a junker attempting to sk-"[/color]. Her words were cut off by series of static followed by a voice. "Ma'am I'm afraid that the lock down is still in the process of being put into place. We don't have any available interceptors in our fleet currently". Six inhaled sharply as she prepared to hurl orders, insults and threats at whatever desk jockey recruit that was on the other end of her communicator when Feya came lumbering into her view. A brief scan informed the android that her partner had been severely damaged in battle. [color=f7941d]"Belay that last order, private"[/color], Six sighed, [color=f7941d]"I need medical evac on my position. Priority black"[/color]. The recruit managed to mumble half of a confirmation before they ended the connection to carry out Six's commands. 
	With the slightest groan of effort Six pushed herself back onto her feet and sauntered up next to the hulking monstrosity that is Feya. [color=f7941d]"The hell happened to you"[/color], she asked as she surveyed the creature, [color=f7941d]"If The StarHopper did that then I definitely underestimated what we were up against"[/color]. Six stood in contemplative silence as the rain continued to pelt and tangle her hair. In a way it almost gave her an even more authentic human look. She gave the junker ship a final look before turning to Feya and giving her a rough pat on the shoulder with her good hand. [color=f7941d]"Let's go. Our ride will be here soon. We have to get patched up and yelled at"[/color]. The android continued to walk back towards the lobby. She could already here the drop ship engines in the distance.




	The ship depot began to shrink as the Heavenly Body made it's ascent. In about a minute or so the entire city that Sev was beginning to consider home, was reduced to nothing more than a sandy silhouette. Another minute would pass before they broke through the planet's atmosphere. Somehow the duo had managed to stay alive. They were safe. At least for these fleeting moments. Sev watched from over Ness' shoulder as he piloted the ship. Their lives were literally in her hands at this point. From what she could observe Ness was actually quite skilled at flying. She watched as the Star-Born's hands and fingers moved with dexterity and precision across the ship's console. The tension that Sev had been holding onto since her fight with Six was finally beginning to leave her body. Maybe they weren't doomed to crash after all. After a few tense moments of flying, Sev reclined in her seat before propping her muddy boots up on the console. This is probably the most relaxed she'd been since she encountered her new friends. Sev's eyes fell upon the infinite expanse of space before them. Various stars and nebula painted a mosaic over the obsidian canvas. The android had almost forgotten how breathtaking the sights of space travel were. [color=92278f]"I didn't hear anything important"[/color], she sighed, [color=92278f]"But I do feel like I should come clean about a few things"[/color]. Her vision was focused on the vastness of space in front of them. [color=92278f]"Since we're in this thing together I think it's only fair that I'm honest with you, Ness. That android that stopped us in the lobby, that was my older sister. Her primary functions for the Council has always been interrogation and assassination. She was specifically built and designed for those things. Our five other sisters each had their own specialties as well. Anyways, I don't think you should worry about Six. She has a score to settle with me and only me. I know the things that she's done and he things that she's capable of doing. She's.....Ruthless. And it's not that I doubt your skills in combat or anything like that but I think that it would be in your best interest to leave her to me if she pops up again. Our goal is to keep you in one piece and Six will make that significantly more difficult for us"[/color]. Sev paused for a moment and just listened to the ambient sounds of the ship. [color=92278f]"I'm sorry that I kept that from you but it's not easy to tell your new friend that your big sister is a literal murder machine. In the future I'll try to be more transparent with things that will affect the both of us"[/color]. Sev felt like she was finally starting to get the hang of this whole being social thing. The concept was becoming a little less foreign. Maybe having Ness around would be the practice that she needed.
