It seemed that with everything said and done the transparent visage of the Arkanian vanished. Ko himself kept close to the team he elected to join, a quartet for sabotage. Listening to what Reina mentioned Ko would comment, “Yeah, even if we can cut through any number of blast doors they may have it would still slow our progress to a crawl.” If the place was going to detonate and they needed to leave in a hurry he didn’t want them to be stuck in the blast zone of a geothermal steam explosion. Didn’t seem like an ideal way to go.

Then Ko looked over what seemed to be a gunslinger named Gavin, he looked like the kind of people the Kel Dor would meet on Nubia back when he worked in the agricultural corps. “A pleasure Gavin, I’m Ko.” The Kel Dor wasn’t too worried about sharing names. Their handler seemed to be adamant on making sure their identities would be kept safe. Since the NJO Ko's been finding merc work like this to be a decent way to pay for food and keep a full tank of fuel for his ship. For this job he got to work out a special kind of payment for himself once completed.

“That’s a safe assumption.” He replied in regards to them being Jedi, or at least trained in the jedi arts. “If it’s mostly droids and other automated security we should be good. Means we don’t really need to hold back too harshly.” At least for Ko there wasn’t much guilt or remorse he felt when cutting or blasting through droids. But Ko noted that their handler shared that it wasn’t just droids, but it sounded like there were also a number of cyborgs as well guarding the facility.

Whenever they finally approached the shuttles, each one was paired with a simple little pilot droid who were planned to be the chauffeurs of each team's respective shuttle.​

The phrase 'I hate Arkania' became Ives' mantra within moments of leaving the janitorial closet. He'd just wiped off all the slime and gunk off his overalls, and now another one of the scientists wanted him to clean up a mess in a lab.

To the perpetual sleep-deprived and running-on-instinct Ives the white-haired bastard looked abjectly punchable. One more day. Just one more day.

The doors whooshed open, and Ives braced himself for the stench of ten-day old rotten meat stew. But the lab smelled only of antiseptic and fresh lemon-scented odour eliminator. The supposed mess didn't exist. This lab was spotless. Cleaner even than he could get it with heavy-duty industrial cleaners.

Ives turned into the hallway and did a little, awkward run-walk to catch up to the Arkanian.

"Err, sir, there's nothing to clean. The lab's pristine...?"

"Just because they said it's mostly droids, doesn't mean it will be. Never assume a job is going to be easy. That's a good way to get bit. We're taking a stranger at his word, an Arkanian at that. And I've never met a trustworthy Arkanian."

Well. There was possibly Anet Raine ...but she wasn't even a full-blooded Arkanian, so that could be that. Plus Reina didn't trust her fully. Either way, she brought her focus back to reality, glancing over towards Gavin, as he assumed the rest of them were Jedi.

"They're Jedi. I'm not."

Reina jabbed her finger between Ko and Lily, ending it there. She didn't want to go into details about it. She let them introduce each other, whilst she debated if she wanted to use her actual name or her work name. Well, Lily was likely to know what Reina's real name was, and she wasn't entirely sure if Ko would know but it was better to be on the safe side and go with the assumption that they did know.

"Reina."

She leaned against the shuttle, whilst waiting for it to leave, trying not to turn her nose up at the fact they were being piloted by a droid. If anything, that was making her suspicious. They didn't know what might have been programmed into the droid's databanks. For all they knew, this could be a trap. And so Reina kept her hand on the hilt of her sword, just on the off chance that something ended up going wrong.

Joining the side that were heading to the sabotage shuttle. Lily gave a smile to each one. Gavin introduced himself and made the assumed correct assumption that they were Jedi, only for Reina to interject and rectify things. Stating that she was not a Jedi. Lily looked over surprised that Reina was not a Jedi but held her tongue. That was something to note and save for a later time. A conversation to be had with either Reina herself, or something to talk to Colette about.

"I am a Jedi yes, I am Lily Decoria. I can help handle any droids or security threats that pose a physical risk to us. Not the slicer or hacking type." Lily was not going to doubt that things could get tricky but the best bet was to minimise the risks and handle each thing one step at a time.

"Before we descend into a spiral of worse case scenarios. We handle what we can prepare for and accept that there might be things we cannot prepare for. Right now, we know there are going to be droids and they are going to be tough to deal with, since we will be outnumbered. So we need to be cautious and work as a team. Which means trusting one another."

Lily wanted to make sure that things went smoothly and that they could get the mission done swiftly so the extraction team did not end up having to wait on them.

["They're Jedi. I'm not."]

He had given a few nods as all of them introduced themselves, though he'd be lying if he said that Reina Daival didn't cause a bit of a brow raise. He spent a few moments merely staring at her, with a bit of a squint. Given what she's said and her body language, she clearly isn't very trusting of this entire ordeal. Which, he can't blame her for at all.

["Before we descend into a spiral of worse case scenarios. We handle what we can prepare for and accept that there might be things we cannot prepare for.

Which means trusting one another."]

He looked back towards Lily Decoria as she spoke, nodding in agreement. "As long as y'all have my back, I'll have yours. I'm just here to get in, blow somethin' up, and get paid doin' it."

Clapping his hands, and rubbing them together. "Now, let's go a move on. We've got a flight ahead of us." With that, he would motion along. Boarding onto the shuttle, and taking a seat.
