Hearing the sounds of the undead over Thirty-Seven's message, Makai left the cockpit of the ship to greet the two droids and Ellie, just in case. Ion paddle was still in hand as he walked down the ramp, eyes keen for the undead.
Feet touched the rooftop and he walked along towards where the the turbolift would open. There wasn't much on the rooftop, some access doors, equipment such as massive cooling units and the like.
Walking past one of the units, undead arm grabbed him, darting out. He immediately turned and pulled back at the same time, other hand pulling up to smash the head down of what used to be a maintenance worker.
At that moment, turbolift doors opened, revealing the two droids and a passed out Ellie in El-Three's arms. He rushed over, glancing back to ensure he wasn't being followed.
"Is she alright?"
[ I had to dispatch Mistress Arceneau in order to move quickly. She will awaken shortly. ]
Makai nodded in reply as they moved towards the
Aurora Dawn quickly, all of them eager to get off Celanon.
"It was probably for the best El-Three, she wasn't in a good position. Go ahead and put her in bed so she can rest and awake on her own."
"Thirty-Seven, take the helm of the
Aurora as co-pilot. You and I are working on getting out of here."
[ Of course, Sir. May I suggest we make a run for Ord Radama? It will give a chance to provide any care Mistress Arceneau may need as well as getting our bearings. ]
"Start calculating the course Thirty-Seven. Be mindful of military activity in the area."
Once inside, Makai immediately lifted off, not needing any stragglers grabbing onto the landing struts or to be blown out of the sky. He worked quickly, eager to check on Ellie but also knowing she was in good hands with El-Three.
[ Sir? ]
"Yes Thirty-Seven?"
[ I have reached a new personal achievement ; I have killed thirteen sentients in one day. ]
Hands never left the controls but his head turned briefly, a little shocked. What the hell was Thirty-Seven's old personal record?!
"That's....I....I'm proud of your achievement Thirty-Seven....."
[ Thank you Sir. ]
