John Locke
V U L K A N
Months, it had taken him months and months to get to this point, months of meetings with staff, of making his pitch and working his way up the chain of command. It had been slow, it had been painful but, tonight this made it all worthwhile. The elevator made its way up the side of the building, the glass walls allowing the man an unrivalled view of the city unfolding beneath him as he slid his hands into his pockets. Try as my might, he’d never been able to get over the nervous habit of his fingers closing into a fist and pulling out of it. It had been tough enough to hide it when he’d had his hands before, but now these new prosthetics…they just made it so much harder.
The man sucked in a deep breath, holding it for a moment before breathing out, feeling the tension flowing out of his body as he pressed his forehead against the transparisteel side of the elevator as he felt the vibrations of its motor pulling him further and further up towards his destination. “Hey EX, tell me that we’re going to rock this meeting and walk away with the contract.” “We’re going to rock this meeting and walk away with the contact sir.” John’s dark eyes glanced up, glaring at his LK-EX1000 as it stood placidly behind him. If the man didn’t know better he was sure that the droid was actually laughing at him, eyes narrowed as he glared at the calm looking face for a second, for two before he burst out laughing, stepping away from the window and reaching up to straighten his suit. “Damn straight we are,” he allowed as he stepped into the middle of the elevator as it ground to a halt, a comfortable confident smile playing around his lips.
