Beware the Crystals of Blood

[Ultimatum]

Ultimatum activated the device and then led [member="Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha"] out of the mine. He hoped that [member="Kha'ro"] would be okay, however he knew that Jedi were capable of handling themselves often enough. He kept his distance from the exiting Sith, trusting her as much as he trusted a Jawa. Ultimatum turned his attention to the surrounding area, quite barren and very much in the open. Cover was not very much available which meant that he hoped the speeder would arrive soon.

He turned to Zreame and asked, "How are you holding up?" He knew that they were almost there, almost free. Unfortunately the other droid had been trapped and would probably be scrapped due to its now 'broken' programs. He hoped that it would be gotten rid of via selling it or something akin to that rather than a simple destruction. If it were accomplished in that manner then there was a chance Ultimatum could obtain him at a later point.

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame leaned against [member="Ultimatum"] and smiled a little when he spoke to her. "I'm going to be fine just take care of me while I....ZZZZ" she fell asleep propped up against him as the last thing she saw was her speeder coming towards them on autopilot. The speeder was designed for two people and the droid had longer arms then her so he could probably hold her steady in front of him.

[Ultimatum]

Ultimatum set [member="Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha"] on the speeder, gently positioning her so that he could sit and be able to keep her steady without too much concentration. He then slipped on and checked that Zreame was safely on before flicking his hands onto the controls. He was glad to be leaving, he hoped that they were free with little to worry about. He wondered what it was like to fall asleep and be asleep as an organic. Was it like slowly loosing power and then shutting down? What were dreams like? He could never know, yet he yearned for the knowledge.

It struck Ultimatum as possibly odd that he was interested in dreams. Was it natural for a droid to be interested in such things? Was it natural or was it a perversion of his programming? Was he broken? No, he couldn't be. He assured himself that it was a natural for intelligence to be curious about the other intelligences around it. He wasn't wrong, he hoped.
