“Somewhere safe?” Gavon repeated, echoing what the captain had previously mentioned. “ ‘Safe’ from who or what, exactly?...”

He was partly playing dumb, but at the same time, he wanted to know a little bit more about the dangers he may be putting himself into. The essence of his mission was relatively cut & dry - a simple [i]retrieval[/i] perhaps - but the deeper he delved into his cover as well as into the unusual situation unfolding, the more he realized this was anything but “simple”. Either way, he was in, and needed to sustain his cover and position among the crew of the Milano for as long as it took to complete what he was sanctioned to do. The armored individual didn’t appear to be an immediate threat, but one who needed close observation nonetheless. Fortunately for Gavon, he was given that opportunity by the ship’s captain, possibly out of fear for his crew’s life, or he hoped that both men would eventually kill each other and free him of any other troubles on his ship. Regardless of the captain’s intent, the Agent needed to keep a sharp eye and ear out on both the Milano’s remaining crew, and the mysterious armored soldier.

“I appreciate your time Captain Jacques” He said, nodding his head. “I’ll go ahead and reset the protocols on my two scanning droids as well, and have them continue their search of the ship for a possible explosive...just in case.”

Gavon keyed a few commands into the datapad strapped to his forearm: one set of parameters going to the floating probe droids, and another encrypted message going to the EV-12 unit currently navigating his ship directly behind the Milano. The message to E-V gave a brief “short-code” summary of the situation and a request to stay locked onto the Milano in the event they make a jump to hyperspace.

The Agent still had no idea where they were headed, but if what the captain was saying about “laying low” was any indication, that would probably mean far from here or any First Order occupied territory. In the meantime, he followed behind the armored soldier, toward the cargo bay pointed out by the captain, and positioning himself nearby the entrance, as his droids hovered and scanned the miscellaneous crates, including the one currently being watched over by the masked man.
