This was the first time Akiya spoke about her employer in detail, Hilal never knew that she worked for the former Emperor of the Empire of the Lost of all people. "You never told me now worked for this new Empress," Hilal responded her thin brown eyebrow. "But I'm glad things are looking up I guess and that you're confiding with me about your job."

From her time spent with Akiya, Hilal could tell she was no warrior quite the opposite in fact yet she was a brilliant geneticist and had considerable knowledge in other scientific fields. Sometimes a mind is more suited to a task than how many people you've killed. Something the Empire doesn't seem to understand for some reason. "Let me do the job. No offense Akiya, but taking out a Hutt is something you're not suited for." Hilal grabbed the poison from Akiya taking a closer look at it. "What kind of poison is this?" Hilal asked. "Aren't Hutts immune to many poisons?"

This job was already weird from the start. Why would the Empire send Akiya to do a Bounty Hunter's work?

Justice was about to respond in the affirmative as he turned when he saw the High Inquisitor disappear into thin air. He could only drop jaw in response as he thought. What... What kind of parlor trick is this...? He knew force users could do some wild stuff but disappear into thin air? That was a new thing for him. Maybe it was some kind of tech on her armor that reflected light or something along those lines... Only the High Inquisitor's words echoing in his head brought him back into focus.

Spinning as Hanna past him, he caught sight of another sensor bulb embedded in the wall and quickly pulled his pistols from their holsters, shooting it out. Trying to catch his breath, he wondered if his accelerated aging had sped up before he tried to catch up with the other two. These two ladies were going to run him ragged. Sliding behind another pillar, he prepped a grenade in his hand, saying across the comms. "Here is something to even the odds." He quickly chucked the shock grenade down the left passage, bouncing it off the wall and in front of droid. Electricity arced across the water from the grenade and towards the droids, hopefully getting under their metal skin and frying their circuitry. For any who the grenade falled to effect, they would just have to take them out the old-fashioned way. Given the ladies beside him, he was pretty sure they were up to the challenge,

The grenade exploded, resonating a sound that echoed down all the connecting tunnels, though it was effective in halting the first wave, more droids marched through the carnage of their fallen metal brothers. We now stood staunch, like a triumvirate ruling the underground tunnel system, our focus more concentrated, for survival rested exclusively in our hands. I slightly moved away from the other two, for one of the emitters in my weapon could potentially affect their nervous system, and began dodging the incoming blaster bolts, batting some harmless away.

I'm no military strategist, and it didn't take one to study the military doctrines of warfare to understand we could not hold this position for very long; battle droids are mass produced for a reason, to overwhelm the enemy in force without the emotional attachments of pain or death that haunt their flesh and blood soldier counterparts. "We can't stay here; we need to find an alternate route." I began regretting the decision of leaving Mystique, my droid companion, behind. She was equipped to quickly locate a secondary route, and she loved wrecking droids.

"Hanna, use your sensors to find a way out," I said, taking a quick glance at the grating and filtration system below and discarding that idea quickly. "Take a grenade or two from Justice, in case you need them. We will cover you." I swatted back a couple more shots, directing them back to the sender, dropping two droids simultaneously. "We have to give Hanna as much time as possible, Justice. Focus on protecting her, and make each shot count, droids will show no quarter; and we shall do none in return."

Utilizing the cover provided by the grenade, Hanna leaned out from cover and sighted in on the remaining armored pirates before opening fire with her shatter pistols. A hail of armor-piercing and high-explosive slugs ripped through armor and flesh before either detonating or penetrating further, immediately cutting down two of the pirates before they could recover from the grenade’s detonation. However, the remaining pirates managed to dive into cover, with a few having sustained wounds.

“Two pirates down!” Hanna called out. However, it was only then that her sensors lit up with more contacts. More droids entering the underground tunnels in marching droves.

In spite of the initial kills scored by Justice and Hanna, the odds were now much more dire than three-to-one.

"Hanna, use your sensors to find a way out,"

“Yes, High Inquisitor! Initiating scan!” At that point, Hanna shifted back behind cover and tuned her sensors to provide full power to the sonar mapper via a silent mental command. Then, lowering herself into a crouch, the Qilin took off with violent acceleration, the repulsorlift skates propelling her form at breakneck speed as she skated around the cistern in serpentine fashion. Fortunately, her scan took only a couple seconds to map the area, by which point she drifted into cover behind a nearby water tank as the droid brain interpreted the results.

“There is a maintenance turbolift 80 meters away. Down the central tunnel!” Hanna called out over comms. “It should take us up to one of the main floors.”

Justice only nodded, tossing his two other grenades to Hanna before pulling his sword out of his sheath. To protect both the Lady and Hannam, he would have to be the primary target of the pirates. To accomplish this, he jumped out of his cover and rushed forward toward the stream of droids coming out of the left tunnel, he slashed into the hoards of droids before they could secure his form through their eyes. He could only give the two time for a couple of minutes but hopefully, it would be enough for Hanna to find a way out.

As Hanna said there was an exit, Justice was earning a few new scorch marks on his oil-covered armor, grunting over the comms as he swung and stabbed into the advancing hoard, his muscles screaming for relief. Slowly covering the Lady, he started to slowly fall back towards the center tunnel. Hanna could hear the pain from the blasterstings in his voice as he asked "Set those two grenades on a timer, throw them, and pull back... Tell... Tell me when it's done..." Hopefully, those charges would leave enough of a buffer zone between him and the droids for him to successfully disengage. There also was a more permeant solution. "My Lady... If you can bring the entrance down on their heads... Now would be the time for you to say so..."

The young girl skated off quickly after dispatching two pirates, and the other one began laying into the enemy: giving us time to breathe. Once the skater announced she found an exit, and it wasn't far off, I replied, "Hold that position, Hanna, we are coming to you." Justice and I would need to move quickly, putting ourselves in the line of fire whilst we made that deadly trek dodging blasters for just a few yards. I saw what he was saying, the roof above rickety and wobbling, just ripe for the picking.

"Get through that tunnel, Justice," I said turning around, stretching my left hand out in front of me. Through the guidance of the Force, I 'grabbed' the derelict section of the roof using just a touch of finesse and brought it down in front of us. The roof, which could never be mistaken for a plafond, crashed sealing off the tunnel; the combined metal and concrete standing between us and the droids and pirates. We were free from the pummeling attempts of the enemy's firing. Unfortunately, one of the pirates became trapped on our side, his leg covered with debris and unable to move.

"Go, meet up with Hanna, I'll take care of him." I slowly walked toward the pirate, whose pain from a ruined leg flooding the Force, removing the glove on my right hand. I needed to feed, and with the little time we now possessed at our disposal, I did just that. I placed my exposed hand on the left side of the pirate's face, siphoning the Force that courses through every living thing from him, draining the midichlorians of their essence, and weakening him to the point of near death. The hunger sated; I grabbed his head in both hands, snapping his neck.

"Be ready for anything up there," I vocalized when I re-joined them, "You can assume they are doubling their efforts to capture us." I looked at Hanna and Justice, a cold still silence hanging between us. We all knew what laid ahead. We all knew the mission must end in success. So, I nodded my head at them as I said, "I will not allow myself to be captured, take the meaning of my words, however. In the event I don't get the opportunity to tell you two, I am proud to fight alongside of you both." For one brief moment I felt the loving praise of my Master, the exiled Jedi who trained me, brush proudly upon my shoulder. It was, I believe, his way of saying he forgave me for becoming what I am.

Hanna leaned out from behind the water tank at the first opportunity, her shatter pistols leveled towards the remaining armored pirates and their droid reinforcements. Opening fire, the Qilin plugged two bursts into the skulls and chests of two pirates in a pair of calculated bursts, compelling the last remaining pirate to dive back into cover as the sentry droids marched past, undaunted by the incoming fire.

"Set those two grenades on a timer, throw them, and pull back... Tell... Tell me when it's done..."

"Hold that position, Hanna, we are coming to you."

“Copy that. Shock grenades going out! They should give you cover!” Locking one of her shatter pistols onto a magnetic panel, Hanna pulled the pin on one of the shock grenades, then waited a couple seconds before throwing it towards the incoming droids. The grenade detonated in mid-air just as it came within radius of the marching droids, immediately causing four of the droids to seize up as their systems overloaded with electricity. before they collapsed into the water. The Qilin threw her second shock grenade only a few seconds later, which landed in the water directly in the middle of the sentry droids’ formation before going off. With the electricity now propagating through the water, the second shock grenade inflicted more damage than the first, disabling six more sentry droids in the process.

Fortunately, the damage inflicted by the grenades slowed the droids down quite considerably. forcing them to maneuver around or over the fallen bodies of their peers. However, Hanna unconsciously wrinkled her nose upon registering the pain in Justice’s voice. The clone was wounded and might need attention before the mission could proceed.

Nevertheless, once Justice arrived at the water tank, Hanna drew her other shatter pistol and skated towards the elevator, unloading cover fire as she did. Before long, the Qilin was inside, taking advantage of the cover within to reload her now-empty pistols.

“I’m inside the elevator!” Hanna called out. After she finished reloading, the Qilin placed her shatter pistols on her thighs and pulled out a data spike before inserting the device into the elevator terminal. “Taking control over the systems.” She added after a few seconds.

Managing to escape the fallen rumble as the roof collasped, Justice got up from the floor that he had full body dived onto to escape certain death. The screams of the living men under the rubble slowly died as he got up, panting as he slowly got up to his feet and sheathed his blade. "Yes... My Lady..." He was moving forward toward the the tunnel entrance and Hanna's postion when a feeling told him to glance back. He regretted it almost immedietly as he saw the High Inquestor drain the only living pirate as he essance, his face turning grey as he wilted right in front of the Clone's horrified eyes. Quickly turning right back around as he heard the pirate's neck crack behind him, he hurried towards the exit faster than his battered legs physically should have been able too.

Dragging himself towards the elevator, he eventually slumped his body against one of the elevator's walls as he tried to recover his strength. His cvoice sounded more tired than in pain as he said to Hanna. "Please tell me this thing goes to the command deck Hanna..." The group needed to get to their target soon, they couldn't afford to get into hung up on any more back fights along the way. If they did, they might not accoplish their objective at all.

Akiya blushed a bit when Hilal appreciated her opening up about her "employment. Recent employment was easier to talk about. The Emperor had treated the geneticist in a manner that made her ashamed, the Grandmaster was demanding and kept Akiya busy but was not as abusive. The Empress seemed to demand Akiya be something she was not, but at least she slept in a bed unbound.

"I am the top scientist in my field. Of course the Empress will use my talents. I just wish that people would realize I will never really be suited for this kind of adventure. At least not on my own." The statement came with a sigh and timid smile.

"The old Emperor was crazy. I never felt safe telling you how bad things were," Akiya admitted with another blush. "I guess that makes things better…"

Akiya was so grateful when Hilal suggested she finish the mission. She batted her eyes with glee and had to restrain herself from giving Hilal a big bear hug. "Flesh eating virus. I didn't develop it but tested it for them. Should be effective against just about anyone. So as much as I would love to sit back and be safe. I need to be the one to release the toxin. If you can get me to a place where we can set it up. Need an enclosed area no more than a hundred and eighty square feet. We will need a quick exit that can be sealed off. I am working on a remote trigger though for the device. So maybe we can change some plans if necessary. But I want to get this done with and get outta here quick. Maybe if we succeed fast we can take a detour and spend some real girl time together after it is done."

Captain Ravik Vane stood on the command bridge of the Void's Hunger, his armored mask reflecting the light of battle. His unknown smirk turned into a grim expression as the Iron Maiden appeared, its portside batteries and missile tubes tearing into his fleet. He watched the enemy's movements, his knowledge of their tactics in the forefront of his mind. Something didn't feel right.

The missile cruiser's assault was far too calculated. It fired high rather than directly at the frigates and corvettes. Vane's instincts were screaming at him, years of skirmishes and betrayals ringing in his ears. This was a distraction, something to take his attention from the whole battle. He slammed his fist on a metal console near him, denting it in the process. He turned toward the tactical droid hanging from its wire nest above the bridge, "Tactical, what are the odds that cruiser deployed something sneaky? Stealthed ships or the like?"

The droid's photoreceptors flickered as it processed the question and the constant stream of battle data, <<Probability: unable to confirm. No detectable anomalies at this time. However, given the Republic's usage of a stealthed vessel against Admiral Trench, the likelihood of stealthed assets is considerable.>>

Vane's jaw tightened as he turned around, pacing his command deck. He looked at the holodisplay in front of him, then out of the viewport watching the battle unfold in real time. He snapped his fingers, "Send word to the hangar crew and the sarge, close every access point 'cept the main hangar. And ready a defensive barrier, fast. He's got something incoming, I feel it in me gut, and we'll be prepared either way."

Vane's gaze shifted to the tactical droid again. "Shift the Hunger toward that cruiser; target their shield generators. I want 'em sweating. All ion cannons and turbos! I want a light show!"

<<Affirmative Captain. Plotting course adjustment.>> The Void's Hunger groaned as it adjusted, its nose pointing directly at the Iron Maiden. The ship rumbling as it unleashed a volley of green and blue energy, slamming into the Iron Maiden. Vane's hand brushed their chin as they thought, piecing together the enemy's intentions. They turned sharply toward the comms officer.

"Patch me through to the fleet."

A moment later, Vane's voice echoed across the pirate fleet's comm channels. "Listen up you miserable lot. These Imperials think they can waltz in here and outmaneuver us. Prove them wrong. Dangerfang. Shadowfang, and Blastmark increase pressure on that cruiser. Everyone else lay suppressive fire to keep their squadrons scattered. We hold this line, or we all go down with the shipyard."

Their voice hardened as they added, "And someone get the shipyard to wake the hell up and start reinforcing us. I didn't come here to babysit a glorified scrapyard."

The tactical droid shifted its head, eyes flickering upon Captain Vane, <<The weapon is fully charged. Do you want us to target the original destroyer?>>

"Switch targets to the cruiser, mid-ship. Let's see if their commander can keep their nerve when we fire."

The ancient Star Destroyer trembled as the proton beam cannon unleashed its devastating energy, a searing lance of destruction streaking toward the Iron Maiden. Vane stood still, their eyes glinting with anticipation as they awaited the chaos to come.

Spoiler: OOC

The destroyer's proton beam cannon is seriously old and not what it used to be. It is NOT a one-hit KO, nor was it when it was new. Let that play into your response.

The waltz was in motion, the Enemy fighters hung for a moment before they moved... His HMP's and vultures that were on the hulls did the same.

Illithor ran his hand over the holo keyboard and then spoke to his ships seconds after Demveath Okamsiu two ships dropped in below them heading to the station. "We will move for a pincer, their mass of smaller ships will not be ready for all of our Mazers, Turbo lasers, and other ordnance. Our ally just dropped below us to help with the station. For victory."

The crew began to fly over their keyboards the Heavy Impetum's would use their firepower as they slowly closed in to have an all out brawl.
The enemy fire came in volleys some getting absorbed, some leaven scorch marks against the hulls. Coreplast in one or two spots taking the piercing impact of a missile. The crews calmly adjusted the shields toward the front to lessen the bleed through.

That was until the IFF showed a heavy cruiser, Iron Maiden command by Hugo Cordes had dropped in. A crew man from the secondary bridge working comms holo transmitted the bridge "Illithor Sir, another allied ship has appeared. I will keep you apprised of communiqué."
Illithor nodded in return. This was an interesting outing indeed.

The enemy had its biggest ship turn towards their newly arrived Imperial ally. His ships Ai voiced its rare two cents <<Advisory, Energy spike detected.>> It was not long after it turned that a torrent of fire erupted and a beam fired.

Blast them! Illithor thought

Clearing his throat "Advance all ships, attempt a pincer. Target their broadsides, fire missiles! Let them see the full spectrum of our weapon systems. See if we can get some droids into the station."

The battle was in full swing, hopefully the Iron Maiden would hold as Illithors ships took advantage of the Enemy star destroyer turning broadside to them.

<<"Welcome to my station, Imperials. I hope you enjoy your stay—it'll be a short one.">>

Demveath smirked, it had been another lifetime ago that someone brashly said things to her. And they regretted it every time. The pirates dropped back as the lights cut and the doors began to close.

No matter, They will be open again soon. She mused to herself. Deflecting bolts as she calmly walked with slowly increasing speed towards what looked like the control area.
Troops & B1's taking up positions along with a group sporting mostly black armor with red Sith words written on the white parts of their armor kept up with the Lady of house Okamsiu.

She used he comm for her troops "Take up positions, and keep them pinned. I and the elites will have the bay open again soon."
In the group with her has two engineers with ID10 droids on their backs ready to slice. Those troops keeping pace with Demveath as they fire at the pirates keeping them suppressed on their way to the control objective.

A few droids lay broken where they were dropped off while a handful of troopers are tended to by medics.

The two Raiders would continue to fire at smaller enemy vessels as their only complement of imperial LAAT's ferried troops into the objective.

Just then, a Star Destroyer jumped out of the Lightspeed approaching the target in front of it. Two squadrons of Imperial TIE fighters launched from the Star Destroyer's hangar. Led by a TIE Superiority Fighter "This is Empress Kanni," a voice spoke through the comms of the strike team. "My TIE squadron will provide distraction while you guys continue your assault."

The Pirates launched fighters in response, a smirk formed on the Kanni's face seeing that the distraction worked. "All right pilots," Kanni said gripping her hands tightly around the controls. "Stay in formation and let them pass between us!"

This was just getting even weirder Akiya's talents were in a lab not in an assassination mission. If the Empress wanted to use Akiya's talents she should've paid a Bounty Hunter to do the work. "You know Akiya," Hilal said her fingers brushing over the vial. "I think after this mission, I'm going to talk to this Empress and ask her why in the hell she is sending on these suicide missions?"

She looked up at Akiya, her concerned brown eyes meeting her dark ones. "You're the brains of whatever it is you're working on for the Empire," Hilal said placing the vial in her pocket. "Why would the Empire place a valuable person like you on the field?"

It sounded like the Empress was just as crazy as her father. If that's so, it doesn't bode well for the fledging Empire. Not that Hilal gives two chits, she was more worried for Akiya. "Okay," Hilal said. "We'll need to scout out the area and look for exits, after the job is done, we can go shopping on Denon." She grinned at the scientist. "What do you say?" she giggled.

The elevator wasn't big, rather crampy considering the amount service this one, and others like it, were employed. But it would do, far better than the opposing option. I looked at the others, unsure of the emotions how they were presenting themselves to me and let out a small sigh. I have always been a loner, partially due in part of my species, partially by choice, and any skills or words required for this scene inside the upward-bound elevator was never taught to me.

"How you holding up, Justice," I asked, trying my best to show any resemblance to caring, for the expressing of emotions was not an ideology I put much faith in. "Good work Hanna, both of you."

I wasn't sure what waited for us up there once the elevator stopped, and I didn't need to say any words, my companions already solved the mystery, that I was sure of. "We must hurry to take the control center and mur...uh...kill their commander," my words breaking the soothing silence. I wondered if they were aware of the Plan B, or was it one of those on-the-need-to-know-basis protocols? These two more than deserved to know what was waiting if we failed.

"When those elevator doors open, we fight straight toward that command center, we don't stop, we don't pause, we just go. If one of us falls, we leave them, that includes me, until the control center is under our command," I spoke in a tone that was more desperate than it should have been, but it was time to give them the bad news. "If we do not manage to take it soon, none of us will be going home; why the need to leave any of us if we fall, because we are on a time limit, and once that limit expires," I added as I closed my eyes, before continuing, "Our friends up there have their orders to bomb the entire facility, and we, along with anyone else within vicinity of the facility, will be collateral damage."

As my words ended, the elevator chimed followed by a computerized voice announcing the floor, command control center, and the doors parted...

Akiya was a bit blushed again as Hilal continued talking. The young bounty hunter speaking with the Empress might be good. At the same time it might prove to the Empress that Akiya was not strong enough to fight her own fights and needed more toughening up. Maybe someone like Hilal in her corner would prove to the Empress that Akiya was valuable even when arms were required.

"The Empress is big on showing strength. I don't think that she likes me much cause I am not built to fight. Maybe she thinks the more field work I get the more I will learn to fight," Akiya gave a slight giggle and covered her mouth demurely. "You and I both know I am a lost cause when it comes to fighting though."

"I will follow your lead as far as completing the mission. I will try to keep my eyes focused as we scout, but should you find a spot to place the toxin device let me know. After you confirm that it is a good spot as far as combat, I will confirm we will succeed from a toxin science point of view," Akiya responded with a smile.

"As for shopping I will go wherever you want. Just as long as we get to spend as much time in fashion shops as tech shops. I know you like this dress…and it does look nice. But it came from the Emperor, so it always makes me cringe a little bit. I could use a more robust wardrobe."

"Ugh," Hilal shuddered now knowing that Akiya's dress came from the Emperor. "I hope he wasn't a slimeball to you," Hilal said. "I liked the dress.... but I didn't know that it came from a guy like that."

To think that Akiya was wearing that dress because Hilal liked it. At least that's what she told her, guilt grew inside of Hilal but she quickly brushed it aside. "Let's not waste time then," she said looking down at her holowatch which contained a button for her Mandalorian Suit. One push of a button and her suit will drop down from her ship which was drifting in the planet's atmosphere.

"Lead the way Akiya," Hilal said. "I want to know where the Hutt's base of operations is so we can get a good scan of the area."

Panting as he slowly started to regain his strength, Justice slowly stood upright. It wasn't like there was any space to stretch out in this cramped space with all three of them in the Elevator. As the Lady asked if he was alright, his head came up with a jolt to answer her, but nothing came out. The clone's mind was still trying to understand what he had saw in the chamber. Thankfully, his helmet was hiding how shellshocked he truly was. Eventually words came out of his mouth as the others would hear his heavy breathing over the mic. "I'm lasting... It's nothing a little bacta won't fix. I'll get patched up as soon as we get done."

The two women would next hear a groan as the Lady told them their situation. To be honest, Justice wasn't surprised in the least that they would be sacrificed towards the greater case of securing this system. They could just grow more of his brothers to replace him and while the other two would be harder to replace, he was sure that the Inquisition would always have someone waiting in the wings to take their place. The Imperial Bureaucracy would always push forward, no matter the cost. Pulling out his pistol's and replacing their plasma gas powerpacks, his voice sounded more determined to survive just to spite that concept alone. "Then we can only hope you can reflect blaster bolts as well up here as you did down there. Me and Hanna will spread out from behind you and put some holes in their chests." Letting out a breath as the elevator dinged, stopping at its destination, Justice got ready to fight for his life, just like he had since he was born.

Hanna spared a brief glance towards Justice, her expression cold and unreadable as she looked over the carbon scoring marks struck across his armor. Without hesitation, the Qilin took off her energy shield projector and locked it to the hardpoint on the clone’s armor. The device flared to life with a high-pitched whine, confirming its integrity. Then, turning her attention back to the Inquisitor, she offered a solemn nod in understanding.

“We leave those who go down behind.” Hanna echoed. “However, we still work together and cover each other.” She continued. “Fire and maneuver.” The Qilin added, as she holstered one of her pistols in exchange for her sword.

With that, the computerized female voice announced that the lift had arrived at the command deck, at which point Hanna positioned herself right at the edge of the door, her sensors indicating that the enemy would be waiting for them just outside.

And just as the doors opened, two pirates and two security droids stood waiting only a few feet in front of the group, blasters raised.

Breath suspended within her chest, Hanna snapped her pistol onto the nearest enemy and plugged an armor-piercing slug into his skull. The body slumped over like a marionette with its strings cut, blood and brains shooting out from the wound. She did the same to the other pirate, who was too slow to react as she ripped off three shots into his throat, sending her target sprawling as choked noises sputtered out from their lips. However, the two security droids swiftly leveled their blasters towards her and laid on the triggers. Fortunately, none of their initial shots would strike their intended target as the Qilin brought up her sword and activated its molecular shield with the press of a button, absorbing the incoming fire.

Hanna gave a sharp grunt as the bolts slammed into her shield with punishing force, the energy dazing her and nearly causing her to stagger.

She needed Justice and the Inquisitor to act quickly in taking out the remaining two targets.

[Akiya Orime]

Objective: III - Dressing the Carcass
Location: Ruemp, Hast
Outfit: Velran's Gift Dress
Tags: Hilal Vizsla

Akiya frowned as she saw and heard the guilt Hilal felt over the dress. Akiya gave a smile and a giggle. She moved closer and hugged Hilal's shoulders in a friendly manner. "I don't think he liked girls that way. So I like wearing it. And how you admire it. The origin doesn't totally ruin the fact that it is an awesome dress. Just need a little to distract me from my employers as well. You know?"

Akiya took the cue to get on their way and started to move out. She had studied the maps of Ruemp and knew just where she needed to start making final preparations to release the toxin. The young scientist had to fight off the urge to grab Hilal's hand as she hurried through the streets before stopping in front of a tall building.

"Top floor of the building," Akiya stated pointing up with a worried look on her face. "This is where tactics fail me. Pretty girls going through the lobby to the main elevator will probably be noticed by security. It is a lot of stairs to climb. Must be another way up, but I can't figure it out…and flying up their with your armor, though exhilarating is out of the question." Akiya blushed and giggled nervously as she remembered being held by Hilal as they flew on other occasions.
