Alright, everybody, listen up! Beta's on their way out and we need to move.

Alpha, I need you all to wreck what you can. Make it loud, make it messy, try not to kill any teammates in the process. [ which is to say, if you're going to blow up anything (and she really hope you will) make sure none of your friends are nearby. ] Beta, I don't care which one of you has the relic, but if you clump together and the Trilk get it back, mission failure's all on you. Everyone's running decoy and distraction here. We need it. We'll rendezvous in the shaded valley due south and if you're not there in half an hour, we're leaving you.

[ unless it's the poor sap with the relic, or someone manages to coax a few more minutes of sympathy into her. her voice doesn't give much room for it right now, but she just wants to get everyone moving to safety asap. ]

Got it? Thirty minutes starting now. Sync.

( ooc: take place immediately after this is successful. tagging free for all, threadjack away unless someone marks a private thread. )

[He's scanning the coms for anyone who might just be dead. Who hasn't answered. unless Cassian orders him to pull out before everyone is out, he will stand there blowing up and shooting aliens at the exit he has covered.]

You could try to make it quick though? It's getting messy out here. [Sass was bound to come across the line, whoops.]

Listen, once you have an organic body that's been pummelled to hell you'll get it. [ Ah, she's used to these verbal sparring matches with a being that isn't even human, so much so it's sad. ]

I'm coming at the best pace I can keep.

Having an organic body is the last thing I want. So fragile.

[There is an explosion from his side of the comms and silence a moment, before he adds in a calm tone.]

It's a wonder you all have made it as far as you have.

At least an organic body doesn't go obsolete. [ Well, unless they're counting old age. But let's not count old age - ]

Need I remind you that without organic beings developing brains big enough to imagine it, you might not have come together at all?

[ Joking with Kay is helping to take her mind off of how much she aches, at least. So there's that. ]

Try again. I can be updated. Organics in old age can not be upgraded. [Whoops, went there.]

And need I remind you I said I would rather not have an organic body myself. Not that I do not care for organics and think they are not needed. You are fragile, yes, but important. [Look, that is high praise from the KX droid, okay? Important.]

Not if your parts go obsolete too. [ Hah! ]

Important, huh? I almost feel like that's a privilege.

For the most part... [A pause for an explosion, whoops.] ...my parts can be upgraded and it will not matter to me.

And please, don't read anything into that. it's not as sentimental as it may seem. [or is it?]

Oh? And where is the line? [ There's a small sound of pain as she hits a wall in eagerness to attempt to hide from a stray alien of some kind running by her, and, thankfully, she doesn't seem to be noticed. A small breath of relief and she's picking herself up to get running again, leaving a smear of blood on the wall if any aliens were to pay enough attention. ]

Right, sure. Maybe you aren't as picky with your words as an autoreiv.

Does there need to be a line when you are a droid? If someone so wished it, I could be remolded and upgraded for years to come. Why anyone would want to do that is beyond me however. Are you still alive? [He heard all that and had to ask when words stopped for a moment. Then they started again so he simply:] Ah, there you are.

I have been told I do need to watch what words I use when speaking to others.
