“An excellent plan, Castie but there is one flaw. You don’t fly.What do you have, a chauffeur down here, chained to the wall, waiting for a war to break out?”
Stepping onto the turbolift, Makai leaned his back against the wall as he spoke to the man. Wrist buzzed, chronometer illuminating with the incoming message reply from Ellie. He turned his arm to look, it was evident she was not aware of the news quite yet. A good thing. Makai was confident El-Three would tell Ellie at the right time his situation ; it's not that he didn’t want to, he just knew his fiancee would have questions he couldn’t quite answer yet.
“I would hazard a guess that we wouldn’t have to worry about someone trying to break in until after the initial shelling. After I would suspect looters and those just trying to survive emerging and starting to poke around. Not to mention any lingering opposing forces.”
Turbolift descending, Makai guessed they were going down far enough to prevent the largest of bombs or shells from penetrating the bunker. Knowing Mister Kuhn, nearly everything had been thought of right down to the decor. The half-Galan didn’t have to wait long, turbolift doors opening into something that looked more like a luxury flat rather than a stark, military bunker.
“It looks like you down here Castie”
Setting the crate of supplies on the countertop, chronometer was buzzing yet again. This time it was a call from Ellie, no doubt trying to get a hold of him to ensure his safety. El-Three must have delivered the news to her,which Makai was surprised he did so quickly. Always looking out for their best interests, their protocol droids often took their own liberties.
He held up his wrist.
“Dark Net is still working.I’ll call her back in a moment.”
Makai set his briefcase down on one of the couches, planning on trying to sit and re-assess their situation shortly. Once he was certain they were fine for a moment he would speak to Ellie. Talking to her without the facts would just make things worse.
“What now? I assume everything is secure. Do I need to go check on the vessel or any generators or…?”
