Nessa nodded at Sev's words, interested in the idea of another android but chose not to question about it for now.
"I'm fine on sleep at the moment." She started, moving to reach into her bag again, pulling out a small screwdriver before she pulled up one of her scoutbots and pulled off one of the plates on top to start working on the inside.
"And I'm guessing, Unlike you, This other Android won't be as kind." She uttered with a small frown. She pulled out a wire from the scoutbot before moving to unplug some things. She stayed quiet for a moment before she recoiled as her machine sparked with a bit of a yelp. "Fuck." She said before she moved to rearrange some things.
She stayed silent for a bit longer before she shook her head and replugged some wires back into the small bot. The sideplates popped out and a set of legs stuck out and squirmed slightly; it made a whining noise before it tucked it's legs back in.
"It's okay.." Nessa cooed towards her robot, as if it was a real creature. "It's fine, You're okay. I didn't mean to hurt you."

Six wandered the bustling and overly crowded streets of the cesspool of a city. She'd receive all manner of nasty looks and glances from the various alien species that she passed along the way. It didn't bother her though, by now she was used to being gawked at like some sort of sideshow. These primitive, carbon-based idiots weren't enlightened enough to comprehend what a technological marvel she was. Six considered herself far more superior than these walking bags of meat that surrounded her. They should be worshiping the very ground that she walked on. The android continued to wade through the droves of commoners as she made her way towards the area she was tipped off about. She'd assumed that she was fairing better than Feya at this point. Sev's trail was still relatively fresh and odds are that if Six found her dear sister, then she'd find the Star Hopper too. Six had spent most of the morning roaming the streets in search of the Sand-trap Projects. The sun was getting higher and higher as the day progressed. If Six did have her sensory receptors active, the intensifying heat would probably make her uncomfortable. Desert planets were always her least favorite to deal with. Especially when there was a bounty to hunt down.
It probably took a little longer than it should have but Six finally made it to her destination. A derelict apartment complex that seemed to extend to the next block or so. Most of the windows and doors to these homes were in disrepair. Shattered glass covered the ground in some places while bullet holes and singe marks from blaster fire littered most of the walls along with typical graffiti. Civilians and gangers alike were posted up in various positions either armed, smoking, or drinking. None of them looked like they were expecting any particular action. It just appeared to be the norm around here. Six could see a man on his balcony grilling some mysterious form of rodent and serving it to the residents that had lined up on his floor. The level of poverty and danger in this area was painfully obvious. These lifeforms lived in absolute squalor and Six couldn't fathom a reason for it. To her it just didn't make sense.
The neighborhood scouts cooed and made various noises to signal Six's arrival before running off into the nearby alleys. These scouts were usually small children, the elderly, or the homeless. Usually people that were seen and never perceived as an actual threat. By now Six was pretty familiar with this type of routine. She wasn't on edge though. If they were going to attack he then they would've done it by now. At the moment she's being watched and welcomed. The android wandered for a few minutes before she found her target. A blue scaled Vesh with a golden fang. He was speaking his native tongue with another younger looking Vesh. The two of them were posted up behind a suspicious looking cargo vehicle. Six slowed her approach so as not to alarm anyone. She crossed the massive parking lot slowly. The children that had been playing and jumping on an old mattress stopped and stared as she passed by. The blue Vesh noticed her approached and waved the younger reptilian away with a massive clawed hand. "Can I help you miss", he said, "You seem lost".
"Yeah, I think you can actually", Six shot back, "I'm looking for someone. A customer of yours to be precise". The Vesh's slit eyes darted back and forth with suspicion.
"I think you're mistaken lady. I don't have any customers. I don't even sell anything", he roared with laughter causing his massive belly to rise and fall.
Six's eyes flickered like a cat that was about to start playing with it's meal. She crept closer to the cargo vehicle and ran a perfectly manicured finger through the dust on it's side as she walked the length of the vehicle. "That's funny", she said, "I've heard that you've been dealing with a very peculiar character. An android, like myself actually. One with blue eyes. Does that sound familiar to you"?
The Vesh didn't meet her gaze. Instead he flashed a glance over to the younger Vesh that had wandered to the other side of the parking lot. The younger Vesh went over and muttered something to the children before they all wandered off. "I don't know what you're talking about lady. You're the only android I've seen in these parts".
In one motion Six brandished her super heated knife and pinned the Vesh's hand to the back of the vehicle. She used her free hand to pull the blaster pistol from the holster that the Vesh was wearing and pressed it against his skull. "I really like your scales", she said, "If you keep playing dumb with me, I'm going to start peeling them off. Now, where is the android".

Sev watched with mild interest as Nessa worked. "Yeah, the android that's coming after you is particularly cruel", she said. Sev had seen her sister commit more atrocities than she cared to admit. She knew the extent of Six's cruelty because witnessed it all firsthand while they grew up and trained together. Images of the horrific scenes that Six has left in her wake flashed in Sev's mind. Still as vivid and graphic as the first time she'd seen them. That's one of the curses of being more machine than human. The longer they stayed on this planet, the more concerned Sev got. Not for her own safety but for Nessa. She was the one with the laundry list of killers coming after her. Static rolled through Sev's vision yet again and she let out an aggravated sigh.
"Hey Nessa", she said reluctantly, "Can I ask you a favor"? Before the Star-Born had a chance to respond Sev had already crossed the room and plopped down onto the bed beside her. "I uh... I need assistance with something. I got jumped last night and one of the creeps got a hit in. My vision hasn't exactly been the same sense then. Do you mind helping me re-calibrate? It doesn't need to be perfect, just well enough so that I can aim properly".

Nessa furrowed her brow at Sev's words, thinking quietly to herself before she flinched as Sev sat beside her and asked her to do the favor.
"I... Uh.. Um." She stuttered, she wasn't ready to be asked something like that, but she stopped her hands shaking before she nodded. "Right, okay. I can do that, where's the panel? Do I need any tools or should I be okay just using my hands?"
As she said that her face flooded a deep red, her mind going to the wrong place quickly before she pulled it back again. Her eyes moved to Ra, who was still curled up, and to the untrained eye he seemed like her was asleep, but his ear was perked towards his handler and an eye was partially open, keeping watch on Nessa.

"Of course." Feya started with narrowed eyes towards one of the crew members of another Scavenger group. "You saw her, Yes?"
The male stepped away in fear to the Council member, He stammered over his words before he squeaked as she slammed her gun against the wall beside him.
"I'd like an answer."
"nonono... p... please don't hurt me. I... I I I... I didn't see her I I was f-f-focused elsewhere..." He managed to get out, every word shaking violently.

Unintentionally, Sev picked up on the subtle changes in Nessa once she'd presented her with the question. The Star-Born's body temperature and heart-rate seemingly increased slightly once Sev had gotten closer. Perhaps she was running a fever or something? It's not uncommon for off-worlders to get sick on a foreign planet. Or maybe it was something else. She hadn't appeared sick earlier. Organics are such overly complicated creatures. "A tool should work fine", Sev said, "Preferably something small". With that Sev activated a small rectangular panel on her right temple. The tawny brown flesh color gave way to a glossy and clinically white finish. With a slight pop and hissing sound, the panel slid itself upwards towards Sev's hairline. The panel revealed a hatch filled with all manner of high end circuitry and wiring, the likes of which most technicians could only dream of. Braided cords lined with crystal flickered with the same blue energy that Sev's eyes were colored with. While the components sat in a relatively condensed space they were all organized and pristine like Sev had just come fresh from the assembly line. The scent of heat and ozone wafted into the space they occupied. It was.... Humbling for Sev to need help with something for once instead of demanding cooperation through means of violence or extortion.
Sev grabbed a handful of her silver hair and moved it to the opposite side of her head to give Nessa room to work. The jagged scar that ran from just behind her ear towards the back of her head was plainly visible, covered in pale blue scar tissue. Sev twisted her body awkwardly and leaned in closer to Nessa. "There should be a junction in there that's out of place. According to my schematics it should look like a bright yellow box. I just need you to jam it back in place for now", Sev instructed, "And don't worry. I can't feel any of this stuff". Sev shot Nessa a reassuring smile as she waited to begin their brief procedure. The android was putting a lot of trust in this woman. She could easily destroy Sev's mind if she wanted to. There were a very select few that Sev trusted enough to work on her body. It was a deeply personal matter that she wouldn't even have bothered Nessa with if she didn't need to potentially fight her sister and whoever else was on the hunt for them. Sev needed to be performing at one hundred percent and she was trusting Nessa to get her there.

Six waltzed herself towards the exit of the Sandtrap Projects. Her once immaculate white jacket was now covered in bright orange Vesh blood on the right side. Stained from the sleeve up onto her shoulder. Areas of her jacket were singed where she'd been shot at with blasters. Her boots squished slightly as she walked, leaving vibrant orange footprints in her wake. The onlookers that she'd encountered before gave her a wide berth as she passed once again. Both children and thugs alike reeled back in fear and desperation. The denizens of the projects had witnessed a portion of the violence that Six was capable of. Children ran horrified as she approached. The android looked like the embodiment Death. Only a few moments ago she massacred several individuals like it was a simple household chore. Six was a monster and the projects were being exposed to it for the very first time. They were right to be fearful. They were right to leave her alone.
The once lively and noisy apartment complex lulled itself into and uncomfortable and tense silence as Six neared the exit. She'd gotten the information that she'd come for. Now it was time to stalk her prey. With the blood still wet on her hands and clothes Six merged into the ever shifting mass of meatbags that inhabited the streets. She was getting even more looks now but no one dared to do or say anything. Six began making her way back towards the area that the Vesh tipped her off about. The odds of her catching her sister infinitely higher. And when she found Seven, she'd find the Star Hopper. Two birds with one stone so to speak. The android wandered about for what seemed like ages until she'd finally the district she needed to. She was scoping out the area from her spot on the ground, trying to identify the best place to perch when she heard a commotion in a nearby alley. With her keen android senses she could make a faint yet familiar voice. In spite of her better judgement Six decided to give in to her curiosity and follow the noise. She rounded the corner and found no other than Feya beating up on a bunch of low-lives. "You won't get anything useful out of those", Six teased, "I've already got a solid lead on the Star Hopper". She propped herself up against the corner of a nearby building.

"Okay." She said with a nod, moving her tail to slip it into her bag. She watched the panel move and looked at the stuff inside. "Oh wow! This is some intricate stuff... Not that I expected anything else; I just never thought I was ever going to look inside a living machine like this!" She half rambled, before her tail offered a blunt-ended rod, small enough to get into the area.
Here we go!" She said with an excited whisper, she was close to Sev and didn't want to get too excited- just in case she made Sev flinch.
She moved quietly and slowly move the rod into the open slot, she moved slowly and precisely. Her rod finally hit the box slightly, Ness pulled it out a little bit before pushing it forward to push the box into the spot. She pulled the rod out slowly, making sure not to bump any wiring on her way out, when the rod was out of the panel opening she placed it on the bed and smiled to Sev.
She stayed quiet, she had seen the scar on her ear and breathed in, biting her tongue to not talk about it before she breathed out. "So." She started, "Did you need me to do anything else? I don't think my wire work will be up to scratch in terms of what you're made of but I could probably help for something..."
Ra had slunk behind the both of them now, staying silent as he walked to one of Nessa's Scoutbots and grabbed one in his maw before bouncing back up to the bed, walking over to Ness and holding it up to her ear.
"Oh he's buzzing." She said, moving to press a button to pop out a battery from the bottom of the scoutbot. Thank you Ra. I need to check the wings under the hood anyway."

Feya's ears pricked slightly and she pulled her attention to the android, her eyes narrowing before she stepped away from the scouter she was interrogating.
"Are you here to brag, or are you offering to help me find the bitch who murdered my brother?" She asked coolly, hatred bubbled under those words, her tone was cold but the static of anger could be felt by anyone under her tone.
Why was this Android here, Feya didn't want someone here bragging to her, she wanted revenge and that's all she cared about. She knew that Nessa didn't have her stupid ship anymore. "Her ships totalled, I doubt she'd be able to escape in any easy way. Not with her shit mug scattered over the place."

Sev laughed to herself, hearing Nessa gush about how high-tech she was. If she could blush then she definitely would be right about now. She felt odd about letting this stranger rummage around in her head. However, she wasn’t completely uncomfortable with the situation. More than anything the android felt vulnerable, like an exposed nerve. Maybe their trust in one another was well founded. Sev couldn’t feel anything beyond where the panel had opened but the vibrations from where Nessa was working sent tiny shivers down her spine. The sensation itself was always fairly difficult to describe, especially in organic terms. She could feel her carbon fiber muscles finally relax for the first time in what seemed like ages. Sev held her position while Nessa operated on moving the component into it’s rightful place. For an instant Sev thought of being mischievous and faking some sort of malfunction to startle the Nessa. It was one of her favorite gags to pull pm someone that was working on her for the first time. Poor Nessa was already so tense that she thought better of it. Once Nessa managed to nudge the junction back into place, Sev noticed an immediate difference in her vision. Static no longer rolled through her line of site. Her vision was just as clear as it had been before she took that blow to the head. Sev blinked her electric blue eyes quickly as her vision adjusted itself. She then closed the panel on the side of her head as it resumed it’s tawny pigmentation. The android then made a show of looking around the room and taking in the sights. The lights from her eyes cut through the dimly lit room like a pair of headlights.
“Thanks Nessa”, Sev sighed, “I think this is all I need for the moment. I really needed that fixed though”. The springs of the mattress screeched as Sev pulled herself up from the bed. Tufts of silver hair tumbled over her shoulders as she moved about the room, still testing her visual senses and abilities. Everything appeared to work the same as before. It was only a manner of seconds before Sev’s ocular scanners fell upon Nessa’s scoutbots. In one swift motion she managed to pluck one of them from it’s spot on the bed among Nessa’s things. Sev turned the tiny robot around in her hand. “I’ve always been curious about these things”, she said more to herself, “And they’re vintage too. How’d you manage to come across these? Being a bodyguard I wouldn’t think that you would get much time to tinker with stuff like this”. Sev was absolutely fascinated by the thing.

Six held her position against the wall. Unphased by Feya’s venomous words. She simply cocked her head and eyed her in the way that organics look at cute animals. This one was amusing. Why shouldn’t she have a little fun with her? “Honestly, I did come to brag at least a little bit”, Six chuckled. The android pushed herself up from the wall before shoulder checking Feya as she walked passed her and to the scouters she’d been assaulting. “Get out of here. And fast before you get hurt for real”, Six spat. The visual of the bloodied android was enough to send the scouters clambering and sprinting in the opposite direction. Six watched in content silence as the rabble fled the scene. Once she was sure that Feya and herself were alone she spoke again. “Your little vendetta against the Star Hopper is cute”, the android turned on her heel with the grace of a dancer to face Feya, “I’ll give you the approximate location of the bounty. One, because you’re shit at gathering intel. Two, because I’m an android. The credits mean absolutely nothing to me. The bounty is currently in hiding with a personal target of my own. You won’t be able to get near her by yourself. Not without my help at least”. Silently Six began making her way closer to Feya, letting her words linger in the dust filled air that surrounded them.
“We need a truce”, Six said with a wry smile, “I need you to agree to that before I can let you in on the information that I have”. With that Six extended a slightly moist hand for Feya to shake. This was probably the best possible move for either of them to make. Six could always double cross her if she didn’t like the way that things turned out in the end. Feya was just another toy for her to play with. A potential meat shield if she needed it. She felt as though she had the bounty hunter wrapped around her finger.

Nessa smiled as Sev mentioned about her helping, and watched the android walk around the room with a small tilt of her head. She blinked as Sev moved and grabbed one of her scoutbots, her emotion becoming slightly panicked.
"P-Please be careful!" She started, stumbling over her own words, "T-They were hard to get! After... The incident, I tried to push my skills to something else, I was good at tinkering most of my life, and then I did some work for a Scrapper and I found them in his trash yard. Lost robots of the old Council." She moved her hand over the bot in her hand. The top panel popped up and mechanical wings flicked from underneath, flapping slowly with a low wiir. "That doesn't sound healthy." She uttered to herself before she moved to unclip the battery from beneath the wings and placed it on the bed.
"These are the last two remaining, the other bounty hunters managed to get ahold of the other four; poor babies. Mercilessly shattered and torn apart." Ness pulled out a small tool box with her tail and placed it at her feet. "I've been making schematics for them and have them completed, but I don't know how to get the materials for it... And I keep getting ran out of where I stay before I get the chance..." Her voice trailed off before she closed her eyes with a sigh.

Feya narrowed her eyes at the android. She had no interest in the teasing, but she had endured worse before. "Teaming up?" she said with a raised eyebrow, almost insulted. She hated working with others, it was the reason her crew 'disappeared' before she got to the planet.
"Alright." She said, looking over the Android. "I've never seen a real sentient Android." She spoke, wondering if would anger the Android. She hesitated before grabbing Six's hand and shook it strongly. "I'll help you with this. But I'm just saying- I don't care about Ness's bounty. I want her destroyed; if you're after the bounty, I can give you my word to the council that you killed her."

Sev eyed the miniature bot that sat dormant in her palm. Her scanners surveyed the automaton, analyzing it component by component. There were even a few older and outdated schematic in Sev’s database that was in line with this particular model of scoutbot. The robot was simultaneously simple and complex in it’s creation. “Relax, I’m not gonna hurt it”, Sev said with attempted reassurance, “I’m mostly robot myself remember”? She continued to study the bot without looking away, her eyes casting barely visible blue lasers as she scanned it. “The friend that we’re going to visit should be able to help you out with this sort of thing”. Sev finally removed her gaze from the scoutbot and over to the window of the room. The suns were beginning to set finally. It was almost time for them to move. “We should get packed. We’re gonna hit the street soon”. With that Sev delicately placed the scoutbot on the bed nest to Nessa before moving to assemble her arsenal.
She began by carefully stuffing the freshly assembled and loaded firearms back into the duffle bag that she had received them in, with the exception of the homemade shotgun. Sev moved to holster the blaster pistol on her hip. The android moved with a frantic precision. It had been a long time since she needed to bug out from a planet but traveling light and being prepared to move was second nature to the android by now. She placed the loaded duffel bag on the floor beside the door and then slid the closet door open. Only a couple of articles of clothing were hung up and a dirty camouflage backpack sat on the filthy carpeted floor. Sev shed the slightly ruined shirt she’d been sporting and tossed it to the ground. She grabbed the one tank top that was hanging in the closet, it was a grungy green color with the faded Club Nightcore logo printed across the chest. Sev managed an eyeroll before she pulled the tank top over her head. Without missing a beat Sev knelt down and unzipped a pocket on the backpack and brought out a pair of black rubber bands, which she promptly used to pull her massive amount of silver hair into a ponytail that was equally as massive. Personally, Sev hated styling her hair or doing anything with it at all. As an android she really didn’t understand the whole grooming thing however she did need to keep her hair out of her eyes if she was expecting a fight.
Sev reached up into the closet once again to pull out the last remaining article of clothing, an oversized windbreaker marked with absurdly bright patterns. She shrugged the jacket onto her shoulders and over her arms. Wordlessly she darted over to the desk where she’d worked on the guns earlier, bringing the camo backpack along with her. Sev ripped a holster from the innards of the backpack and slung it onto the desk before cramming her bloodied trench coat into the bag haphazardly. It took her a couple of seconds to fasten the second holster to her waist. The sawed-off managed to fit snuggly on the small of her back. She was ready for action. “Come on”, she ushered Nessa, “It’ll be dark soon and we need to get to our ship. Pack what’s vital and let’s get out of here”.

Feya’s ignorance caused Six to narrow her eyes slightly. “Well you haven’t met and android like myself”, she squeezed the woman’s hand just enough to hopefully cause a bit of panic, “Stick with me long enough and you’ll learn a few things. Like how to properly intimidate potential informants”. Six retracted her hand swiftly, half in disgust and half genuine dislike for Feya. The android back peddled on her heals and turned down the alleyway facing the city streets. She jabbed an elegant finger into the air and gestured towards the streets. “So here’s the situation”, she spoke in a domineering and commanding voice, a complete tonal shift from her normal demeaner, “ Our targets are in this general area. According to the information that I dug up, they should be together. Here’s the thing though, we need to find my target in order to find yours”.
Six walked back over to Feya and activated a small orb on the underside of her wrist. Her stealth suit was custom made with an holographic display for tactical planning. Six waved a hand and wiped away the grime of her earlier massacre before the orb projected a small holographic image of Sev and the way that she looked the other night. She let the image slowly rotate for a few moments so that Feya could take in the details. “This is who we need to find in order to find the Star Hopper. She’s a android like me, which means that even on her worst day she’s still dangerous”. The image abruptly dissolved into a mass of shifting pixels before reassembling into a three dimensional render of the city block that they were in. “I suggest that we split up to cover opposite ends of the streets and alleys. I’ll take the northern side and you can take the south side. We’ll need to be vigilant. She has an energy signature that only I can detect. However, she also has glowing blue eyes so she shouldn’t be that difficult to spot”. The android cast her vision upward towards the now darkening sky. “I know her. She’ll try to move under the cover of night. Do you understand the plan? If so, then we should probably assume our positions as soon as possible”.

As soon as Sev mentioned she wasn't going to damage her work, Ness relaxed quietly. She looked to Ra and nodded; the small beast moved quickly, picking up any small piece of tool or equipment around before tucking things away in the toolbox as Nessa stood.
"Right." She started, she only had vital things in her bag from when the ship crashed. She put the toolbox into the bag before she looked to Ra. She had collapsed his crate by now and it was an ass to pull it out and fix it up, and it would end up being a hassle if she had to fight. "Ra, in the bag." She ordered, an unfamiliar tone of authority in her voice. Ra moved quickly and bounced into her bag before disappearing inside; although the outside didn't seem to move as he burrowed inside.
She moved quickly, putting everything else either into sidepockets on her bags, or slipping them into her person. She hooked the scoutbots to her belt, pulling out her gun before she clipped it to her belt as well; she flexed her hands and pulled out a pair of ash grey gloves and slipped them on, feeling energy flood down her arms and light up runes on the glove.
"Ready." She started, lifting her bag up over her shoulder and felt Ra move slightly to poke his head out with a bit of food out of his mouth. "Hey you better not be eating everything in there! That shits expensive." She said to her beast companion, who ducked his head away again with a bark.

Feya seemed unphazed by Six's handshake before she followed after without a word. She was used to be told to follow orders, being a council member would do make you think that. Surely the android knew she was a council member, but she had a feeling the android couldn't give less of a shit.
"I understand the plan." She said, "You can sense the android, I have the ability and knowledge to know when the Star-Born is around." She said coolly, "If we co-ordinate our shit we can take them both on." Part of her wondered if Six even knew what they were up against with the Star-hopper; sure her want was on the android like herself, but did she know how dangerous the Star Hopper was? Did the other android really know who she was with? She had seen Nessa at her worst, and she needed to be put down.

Outside, storm clouds began to gather. A faint shower began to pelt the planet. Thunder rolled in the distance as the storm clouds assembled in the evening sky. The pitter patter of the raindrops tapping against the hotel window resonated throughout the hotel room. Sev was taken aback slightly at the shift in weather. For as long as she’d occupied this planet it had never so much as drizzled. The natives could be heard outside rejoicing in the change of weather. Now seemed like the perfect time to leave, it was getting dark and the streets were getting even more lively. Sev shouldered the backpack and gripped the duffle bag armory in a free hand. She drew the hood of the windbreaker over her head in a vein attempt at being low profile. The electric blue lights of her eyes shown through the sheer material of the windbreaker, almost working like a technicolor lampshade. “Remember kid”, Sev sounded like a doting parent for a moment, “Keep the horns hidden and keep the tail out of site”. Her eyes flickered in the low lighting of the room as she observed Nessa. Ra, the furball, seemed to be well trained enough to not attract any extra attention.
Sev turned to face the room door and took a moment to steel herself. The door hissed open for the final time as Sev stepped into the corridor and waited for Nessa to join her. In spite of her programmed confident demeanor Sev was feeling extremely anxious about hitting the streets again. Especially with her sister lurking about. They were on the ground floor and the entrance way to the hotel was beginning to fill up with folks seeking shelter from the downpour that was raging outside. “Come on”, Sev whispered nodding towards the exit, “Stay close and follow my lead”. Sev kept her eyes low and the hood over her eyes, for what little good it actually did.

Six cast a revolted glance towards the sky as she was pelted by the first few droplets that the storm was bringing in. Her ears perked as the meatbags on the streets chanted and danced about like fools. This wouldn’t due at all. The streets were now buzzing with energy and movement. If Seven had retained any of her initial training, she’d be on the move right now. This was their chance to get a beat on their prey. Six’ sunset colored eyes darted in a seemingly erratic fashion as she observed her surroundings and identified the quickest route to the rooftops. “Co-ordination is key”, she responded in the midst of her calculations, “However I do have one rule. Do not engage them immediately. We need to track them. See where they think they’re going, identify whatever escape plan that they have and destroy it before they get a chance to leave. Come on, we don’t have much time”.
Without waiting for a proper response Six began activating her stealth suit. In the span of only a few seconds Six managed to parkour onto the top of large garbage can before leaping nearly to the top of a fire escape and backflipping onto the alley wall. Using her momentum, Six launched herself high into the air and onto the rooftop of the closest building. All before her stealth suit had completely camouflaged her. The barely audible clicking of the suit’s mechanisms ceased once the android reached the rooftop. By now the rain was assaulting her hair, matting and tossing the synthetic strands violently. Most of the blood and viscera that had permeated her jacket was beginning to wash away…..Most of it. She took a moment to cast a cursory glance over the mob in the streets below. Nothing yet.
With an aggravated sigh, the android took a couple of steps back from the edge of the building. She made a brief show of stretching before running and launching herself to the rooftop across the street. She landed with a splash as she rolled through the puddles that were already assembling. Almost invisible to the naked eye she paced the length of the building, watching and waiting for her dear sister to make an appearance.

Nessa stayed quiet before she pulled up her hood over her head, moving to slip her tail into her pants quickly. She hooks her bag onto part of her pants in order to keep it from bouncing around too much, as well as keeping Ra safe and secure behind her at all times. She felt Ra crawl to the upper layers of the bag, instead of the depths that she couldn't feel. She was glad they had a neutral understanding of each others communication, He was never like that but he was taught well.
Ness stayed silent as she nodded to Sev's words, before she blinked and held her hand up. She moved her hand into her bag and pulled out a small front-cap styled thing- She quickly stepped forward towards Sev and moved the windbreakers hood to slip the cap onto her head, putting the hood back down and stepped back with a tilt of her head. It wasn't much, but it was a subtle attempt to try and hide Sev's eyes.

Feya blinked as the rain suddenly fell down. She shook her head before she breathed in, she watched the android move and seemingly disappear. She watched the small sight of distortion of where she walked.
If the robot was going to be on the roof tops, then Feya was going to stay down on the ground, down wind where her prey couldn't smell her. She moved her hands to pull down her coats sleeves, which entirely changed the state of her jacket; suddenly her clothes twisted in shape, her coat disappeared and became more of a tightly fitting black dress shirt, her pants staying the same but their visible now. Her boots juttered out, small spikes down the back of them and on the base of the toes.
Down her back was a dark red pair of wings, which seemed to be the exact opposite style of Nessa's, the woman didn't have horns like Ness, hers were small and juttered more like spikes from her temples back into her hair. She didn't blend in with the crowd, but she didn't stand out now with the massive council embellishment shining on her back.

Sev nodded her approval once Nessa had fastened the cap to her head. It helped conceal her eyes as well as being slightly fashionable. Maybe she’d try to keep it once they get done with their current objective. If they lived through their current objective. Sev made strides towards the hotel’s exit door which was filling up with more dampened denizens by the minute. She shouldered her way through to the front desk, clearing a path for Nessa to follow if she stayed close enough. Without breaking her momentum Sev swiftly placed the keycard to her room on the dilapidated reception desk before the concierge-bot could struggle it’s way through it’s canned “Come Again” dialogue. The floor had already become soaked and slippery from the sudden uptick in foot-traffic. Her boots gave out the slightest squeak as she deliberately yet politely strong-armed her way through the growing crowd. The scene outside was infinitely more lively than the lobby they’d just escaped from. Citizens of various species and races danced in the streets, some playing songs on strange instruments, some held buckets over their heads to capture the torrent of rain water. The smarter and more prepared street vendors began selling ponchos and raincoats in an attempt to capitalize on the change of weather. A streak of lightening cracked across the darkening sky like an ethereal whip. The streets were a spectacle right now, which meant that it was the perfect cover to leave under.
Sev tried her best to keep her eyes as low as possible to avoid catching unnecessary attention. Given the current state of things, remaining incognito was fairly easy. However, for the briefest of moments she could have sworn that she caught a shimmering distortion on top of one of the buildings she’d glanced at. Perhaps it was just her paranoia…..Or her fear. Either way she chose to ignore her instincts for now. It wasn’t like Sev to be affected by things like nerves or fleeting emotion. What was happening? The android slowed her pace slightly as she rounded the corner to get on to the crowded streets. She casually slung an arm around Nessa’s shoulder and leaned in slightly. “I probably should’ve mentioned this before”, she started, “But we don’t have a ride right now. We’re gonna have to hoof it to the ship depot so we’ll be exposed for a bit. Be ready for anything”. They were in for a decent hike. Hopefully they could make it to their destination in one piece.

Six stood motionless on her perch like a lioness on the prowl. She observed the commoners below with disgust. If her receptors had been active, her skin would be crawling at these primal displays of ‘celebration’. The organics were making absolute asses of themselves over a little precipitation. What pitiful creatures. Six narrowed her eyes as she scanned the literal droves of lifeforms filling the streets below. Nothing. Where was she? Were they too late getting into position? Surely they couldn’t have missed them that easily. Seven was good but she was never good enough to evade her older sister. She’d taught Seven most of the tricks that she knows. From her vantage point Six couldn’t figure out the location of Feya either. Hopefully the meatbag was surveying her sector properly. This was probably their one and only chance to get a beat on Seven and the Star Hopper before they get off world. They couldn’t afford any errors.
The rain continued to fall. Droplets mercilessly beat against the back of Six’s body. The constant pitter patter was maddening. Six cast another annoyed glance over the streets below. Nothing again. Her annoyance was beginning to lead to frustration now. One of the very few emotions that she actually let show through her seemingly flawless surface. This was her only chance to get her revenge on Seven. She’d waited for what felt like an eternity to find her and make her atone. There’s no way she was going to lose her trail on some backwater cesspool after searching and waiting for so long. The android’s eye twitched involuntarily, failure wasn’t an option. She’d raze this planet to glass if that meant getting her hands on Seven.
Six scanned the streets on last time. There it was. There she was. Seven’s energy signature was undeniable. Six watched carefully as the blue silhouetted figure seemingly embraced another figure, the Star Hopper maybe? The electricity in the air caused Six’s hair to stand up slightly. Her body energized with excitement. It wasn’t playtime just yet but she was that much closer her target. “I have the targets”, Six hijacked Feya’s com signal.

Ness followed close to Sev as they walked, her eyes scanning the area as she tried her best to spot anyone that looked like Sev, or that she knew. She her who would be after her- She didn't need to be close to feel her presence... She could be the reason it was raining even, Ness stiffled a laugh as she enjoyed her own mental joke. She was worried, not by what Sev said... Well, slightly what Sev said, but moreso if she ran into her then Sev may hear the story and judge her differently.
No one believed the real truth when they were told the lie first... Maybe if she got the chance she could tell Sev. When would be the best chance to even mention it? Maybe when they're off the planet, that way they'd be away from any immediate danger... Hopefully. She flinched when Sev pulled her arm around her, she listened before she gave a small nod.
"Okay. Keep to the crowds?" She asked, to her that seemed like the better idea, maybe Sev thought otherwise, she'd wait for her response to see if it was a good idea, "So hand on gun at all time." She finished, moving her hand to slip it beside her gun, ready for anything.

Feya flinched when her coms flickered, before she nodded, lowering her finger from her earpiece before she narrowed her eyes. She looked up to find Six, spotting her almost immediately before she moved to follow her eyesight.
The Councilwoman breathed in, she didn't realize how much she wasn't using her sense of smell because the wave of smells hit her in the face. She could taste everything she smelt for a moment before she closed her eyes to focus, she focused on a familiar scent and she froze. She breathed in before she opened her eyes, grinning to show her row of sharp, pointed shark-like teeth. "If you lose them somehow I have the taste of the bounty." She replied to Six, her voice was slightly different, the hunger flickered through her words. She held back in shifting her forms, she had hidden under a guise since she landed.. People would know she was a council member but no one actually knew who she was. She held back on showing who she really was because she knew she wouldn't get information when people were staring down the sharp, smooth muzzle of a Sharphest.
It was the reason she was unphazed by the rain; it was almost natural for her. Although she knew too long in this weather will revert her change despite how much energy she used to hold it back. She felt it already; she felt her mouth and nose start to jutter outwards and her skin almost itch and burnt, breaking out in small scales. Her hood of her cloak moved at the back, pulling the hood back slightly, almost revealing her face.

“We’ll keep to the crowds for now”, Sev answered, “It’s pretty lively so we should blend in better here than in the back alleys. Besides, it would just take even longer to get to the depot that way”. The chances of Six already being on their tail were pretty high. After all she’d managed to get the jump on Sev before. That stealth suit that she was sporting, it had to have been suppressing her energy signature. Sev and all of her sisters possessed unique energy signature so that they could identify one another at a distance or in situations where they didn’t have a direct line of sight. It never occurred to Sev that she’d need to hide her energy signature. Up until last night she’d assumed that she was the only android left from her series. There were too many questions and not enough answers. However, her current situation was way more pressing. They needed to get off-world and fast. Both Nessa and herself were walking around with literal targets on their backs. The amount of stares and awkward glances was near non-existent as the odd couple navigated the puddle filled city streets. For the first time since her release among the general public, Sev wasn’t being ogled or scoffed at while she went on about her business. It was a refreshing change, a fleeting and short-lived one, but a welcome change nonetheless.
The once dusty and dry cityscape was now drenched and plastered with mud. The bottoms of Sev’s boots were becoming caked in the stuff as they navigated the labyrinthian streets. Overhead the storm was at it’s peak. Dense storm clouds had assembled to block out the usually star-filled night sky. Occasional arcs of white lightning would shoot across the sky and illuminate the city below. The night-life of this outpost was already beginning to stir. Neon colored lights and holographic imagery danced along the skyline as well as street level. It was as if the strife and turmoil of the city melted away with the rain itself. The cacophonous torrent was outmatched by the commotion and energy that filled the streets. Sev did her best to keep her head low but she couldn’t help but glance at her surroundings and take in the scenes of jubilation. She’d never once seen the people of this city be so collectively joyful. The downpour continued as they made their way ever so closer to safety. Everything had been going relatively smooth, aside from the occasional reveler bumping into them as they made their way. By Sev’s calculations they were only about a block away from the depot by now. It wouldn’t be long before they could leave this rock behind.

Six repeated Feya’s words to herself inaudibly. Struggling to make sense of what the councilwoman was talking about, the android half shrugged. “I’ve got a lock on them”, Six responded, “Stick to the shadows. We can’t risk spooking them just yet”. Six continued to eye the pair as they plotted their way through the crowded streets. They weren’t moving at a particularly fast rate either so it was easy enough for the android to keep an eye on them. From what Six could tell, Seven was using the ‘clingy couple’ method that they were instructed to use on escort and protection missions. Given this particular situation it was a very well executed escape plan. It just wasn’t executed well enough to elude her. The figure that Seven was escorting was the Star Hopper or at least that’s what Six had assumed. They were a lot smaller than she’d initially thought. She was almost disappointed. The Guard only summoned her for the big and challenging jobs or the ones that required infiltration and finesse. Jobs that required a little more tack than a battalion of heavily armored marines armed to the teeth. Six had a limited understanding of why she was sent to hunt this woman but she couldn’t understand how a Council member had gotten taken out by such an unassuming entity. Maybe she should ask Feya.
Six kept to the rooftops as she tailed her sister, launching herself from building to building. With unsettling grace and balance she parkoured off of neon signs and flipped through holographic billboards. They weren’t far from the complex where she’d been ‘gathering intel’ from earlier. The combination of strobing neon light and rain caused the particles of her stealth suit to flicker and distort as she moved. Untrained organic eyes would only noticed the smallest shimmer in the moving through the air. She’d tracked them for a decent distance now. After surveying the landscape a bit she figured out that they were near the area where she fought Seven last night. What could she be planning?
Once again, Six perched on a neon street sign and activated the holographic map of the immediate area. She rotated the map a couple of times with her off-hand, trying to learn every possible angle. That’s when she found it. There was a ship depot fairly close by. That must have been where Seven was returning from the night before. This was it. This was their moment to get ahead of them. “I know where they’re headed”, Six hissed into the com, “There’s a ship depot up the street a ways. I’ll take the front. The building schematics that I’m looking at suggest an access point on the roof. If we play our cards right, we can corner them”.

Nessa nodded at Sev's answer, her eyes looking through the crowd more and more. She felt eyes on her, it could just be everyone around her, but she felt a familiar presence watching her. She shuddered as she followed Sev quietly, she wasn't sure how she felt about being so close to Sev, she felt her cheeks burn with nerves and embarrassment... Why was she embarrassed?
"Fortark.." She uttered at the look of the storm clouds, an old slur of her people, not one she would generally use on something as mundane as storm clouds. She moved and placed her hand over her bag for a moment, but she couldn't feel Ra- She didn't panic, he knew better than to leave the bag in a way he would fall out or get stolen. He would have been in the lower areas of her bag, asleep.
"Those clouds are... beautiful." She uttered out loud before she looked to Sev. There was a moment where Sev was looking away from her- but Ness could see the side profile of her face perfectly... She was almost captivated in the androids looks; her heart was almost overbeating before she snapped her mind into the real world.
[i][color=659EC7]Focus.[/i][/color] She thought to herself.You can't get distracted.

Feya started to see her fully grown muzzle in her view now, she almost swore out loud before she glanced behind herself, seeing the slender shark tail sway behind her before she listened to Six's words.
"Of course~" She replied to the mention of not spooking them, the Hunt was still on, the Sharphest enjoyed the idea of a hunt. Soon she'd be on her prey...
"Are there any quicker routes I can take on ground in order to get there quicker? I'm not exactly made for the air, so I can't fly after you."

Six propped herself up between a wall and the neon sign that she was standing on. It had been awhile since she actually had to work with organics. She’d forgotten how much slower they were by comparison. Six sighed dramatically into the coms as she continued to thumb through the holographic display on her wrist. It only took her a couple of seconds to find an alternate route for her temporary partner, but it was a couple of seconds that she could’ve been using to get into position for the ambush. “There’s a network of runoff tunnels that runs from the alleys and up into one of the ship holding areas. Turns out that’s the only area holding an active ship so odds are that’s where they’re trying to go. If you don’t mind getting a little wet, that should get you to the Star Hopper. I’ll distract the android so she’ll be all yours”. Six felt secure in her plan. If all goes well she’ll get a chance to destroy her little sister and get a nice stack of credits as well. Although, she never really had any use for money, the thought of being able to actually purchase things excited her. She didn’t bother waiting for a response. They needed to get into position and soon. The element of surprise was on their side. Seven is expecting Six without a doubt and she’d probably be expecting some two-bit bounty hunter to show up. There’s no way she’d be expecting a two pronged attack from Six and a powerful Council member. Six continued to throw herself from building to building as lightning filled the sky above. She broke away from Sev’s current path and positioned herself on a building near the ship depot. She could see her sister plotting along on the ground. Her usual playful grin tugged at her face as she waited for her chance to strike.

It took a lot longer than Sev had anticipated but their journey was almost at an end. Things were going suspiciously well. She scanned the horizon and nearby rooftops for any sign of Six or anything that stood out. Nothing seemed out of place. At least from what she could tell. Sev had a growing feeling unease but she chalked it up to being out and among the people. Maybe the impromptu rave that was happening around them was unsettling her. Out of the corner of her eye she could just barely make out the sight of Nessa seemingly staring at her. However it didn’t appear to be the look of bewilderment or concealed hatred that she was used to. It was a look that she’d only received once before from someone she once held dear. The android continued to pretend to not notice Nessa’s gaze as they pressed forward. She made a mental note to tease her about it later once they get out of this mess. If they get out of this mess.
Sev kept leading the way, pushing and shoving her way through the mass of soaking townsfolk as she blazed a trail for Nessa. She glanced into the nearby alleyway and saw the hoverbike that she’d abandoned just sitting dormant and non-responsive. It was a shame really. Even though it wasn’t really hers Sev still enjoyed the thing. It’ll probably be one of the only things that she misses about this dump. The cool blue colors of the holographic sign for the ship depot danced overhead as they approached the shop. Without bothering to kick the mud from her boots, Sev stormed the automatic doors. Muddy footprints and a trail of rain water were left in her wake as she crossed the rusted, warped floor and approached the clerk’s counter. “Ah, you’re back”, the feeble clerk android croaked.
“Cut the chit-chat X. We’re pressed for time”, Sev shot back, “Is the ship ready or not”? The chrome android behind the desk began navigating the computer screen in front of him. His fingers trembled and danced over the rectangular display with an uncomfortable pace.
“R-right”, X stammered, “Um, bay one. The Heavenly Body”. A look of confusion and disgust fell over Sev’s face for the briefest of moments before she regained her composure.
“Fine, we’ll take it. Come on", Sev nodded her head in the direction of the holding area for their new ship. Sev had just managed to remove her hand from the countertop when a metallic clang rang out, resounding throughout the lobby. The heated knife Six sat at least 2 inches into the carbon material of the countertop in the space Sev’s hand was not even a second ago. “Shit”, Sev sighed. A shimmer apparated at the entrance of the lobby and Six appeared before them. Only she wasn’t as pristine as the night before. Her hair was soaked and matted. The crisp white flight jacket that she donned was plastered with orange Vesh blood. Apparently she’d been busy since the last time they crossed paths. “A little lizard tipped me off”, Six called. She slid a handful of blue scales and a golden fang across the floor. The items skittered to a halt at Sev’s feet and she immediately knew what Six had done. “You and I have unfinished business little sis”.
Sev locked eyes with Six. She wasn’t afraid, not this time. This was the fight of her life and there was no chance that Six was going to hold back this time. Without dropping eye contact with Six, Sev began shedding the two bags she’d been carrying and slid them across the floor to Nessa. The android clerk was already cowering under his desk by this point. “Get to the ship and prep for launch”, she chose her words slowly and deliberately, “I can buy you some time but if I’m not there by the time the engines are prepped and ready then leave without me”. With that, Sev wrenched the heated knife out of the counter with blinding speed and threw it towards Six’s head. In an instant Six had managed to duck underneath the blade of the knife before snatching it out of the air harmlessly by the grip. Sev assumed her fighting stance and brought her fists up, preparing to either attack or go on the defensive. Six cartwheeled across the floor at inhuman speeds with all the grace of a gymnast before leaping several feet in the air and plummeting towards Sev with knife in hand.

Feya followed the instructions perfectly. She wasn't worried about getting wet, if anything she threw off her council cloak and ran on all fours towards the place, disappearing from Six's view.

Nessa nodded at Sev's words, darting quickly into the ship bay and moved towards the ship. Something told her to jolt sideways, she moved slightly before Feya burst through a grate under where her foot was, spinning and slamming her tail into the Star-Born's arm, knocking the bags out of her grip.
"Hello, Sister-In-Law." She hissed as she was pushed back, Nessa looked at the council woman with narrowed eyes and untucked her wings and tail. "Not going to talk to me? After all of the shit we've both been through with my BROTHER!" On the last word Feya dove forward to attack Nessa. Nessa narrowly dodged the attack before she moved to swing at Feya's face. Her fist made contact and Feya slammed backwards, stunned for a moment.
"Mnnnm. You've gotten stronger than the last fight." Feya uttered before she moved to stand up, Nessa had taken off her bag and placed it down now, she didn't want Ra harmed. "How cute, still relishing in the last gift my brother gave to you? I'm surprised you haven't killed the rat yet." She taunted, Nessa's eyes narrowed and the Gold in her iris seemed to slowly turn to red, the white dots over her body flickering into a shade of red as well. "Oh, have I annowyed the widdle swar bown? Did I mwention somthing bawd that happwened in her life?" Feya mocked Nessa, making her more angry. "Its a shame you had to turn on my brother like that, you would have made a perfect little council drone. 'Yes Master Feya, I will kill that android and her sister for you, no matter what it takes!'" She mocked Nessa's voice, "Now it's just a shame you're going to be lunch!" She lunged towards Nessa again.

Sev had managed to back peddle just enough to evade Six’s strike with the knife. Six sprung upwards from her place on the ground and continued to assault Sev with series of calculated swipes. Sev forced her enhanced reflexes into action after what felt like a lifetime of disuse. With unmatched dexterity, Sev bobbed and weaved out of the way of the super heated blade. The air around the blade seemed to warp and shimmer due to the amount of heat that it produced. “Worthless. Defective. Stupid”, Six spat with each swipe she took. Close combat wasn’t going to work against her. Sev needed to figure out a way to get enough space between them to draw her weapons. As Sev mentally calculated her options Six drew the blade back before she lunged forward, aiming for the vitals near Sev’s ribcage. In one movement Sev locked Six’s arm in the crook of her own elbow, bracing it against her side. With her free hand Sev grabbed the side of Six’s face and smashed it into the top of the countertop, leaving a couple of sizable dents behind. Before Sev could attempt the third bash, Six countered by delivering a kick to the base of Sev’s skull. For a moment her vision went white and her grip on Six loosened just enough for her to slip away. Six used her momentum to kick off of the side of the counter to deliver another kick towards Sev’s head. Recovering just quickly enough to see the attack coming Sev instinctually raised her hands to a blocking position. While Sev had managed to block the attack itself, the sheer amount of force sent her flying backwards across the lobby. “So”, Six blew a few misplaced strands of hair out of her face, “You still remember how to fight after all”.
Sev slid across the room and rolled backwards into a three point landing. By this point in the conflict her hood had tumbled down and the hat that Nessa gave her was nowhere in sight. She was looking a little haggard and roughed up but Sev still had a lot of fight left. The androids locked eyes once again for a few tense seconds as they sized up one another and contemplated their next moves. Just as Sev moved to get to her feet Six flung the knife across the room with expert precision. The knife landed with an audible shunk as it pierced the corner of Sev’s jacket, pinning it to the floor causing her to fall off balance. However, Sev still had just enough distance between herself and Six to start shooting. From her position on the floor Sev unholstered her blaster pistol and opened fire. Arcs of unstable green energy shot across the room, accompanied by a thunderous boom that rivaled the storm raging outside.
Naturally, Six evaded the shots with relative ease. She cartwheeled to the right, deftly avoiding the bolts of energy. Sev continued to unload until Six activated her stealth suit once again. In a blink Six had seemingly vanished into thin air. Sev quickly holstered the blaster before ripping the knife out of the floor and getting to her feet. The walls on the far side of the lobby were scorched and even melting some places. A thin layer of smoke was beginning to fill the room. There was no way that Six was fleeing from this fight. Not yet at least. Sev focused her hearing in a vein attempt to listen for Six’s approach. The sound dampeners located in Six’s boots were state of the art and rendered her footfalls nearly silent. Nearly. Sev managed to pick up the faintest vibration just as Six rematerialized before her eyes. Before Sev had a chance to react Six had already peppered her with a series of blows to her joints and servos causing her movement to stall. A calculated punch to the back of her ribcage caused Sev’s arm to seize and lock up. The knife that she was holding fell perilously towards the floor before Six made a bowing motion to catch it. It only took half a second for Sev to regain control of her body and counter attack with a few jabs of her own. She got a few solid hits in before Six found an opening and punished he with a slash to the face. Pale blue liquid flew through the air in thin arc as Six swiftly drew the blade back and prepared for another attack. Sev knew that she’d been hit but it wasn’t fatal. A clean laceration ran from the right side of her chin and ended just to the side of her nose. Just a little cosmetic damage.
The two androids exchanged blows for a few moments before Six found yet another opening but instead of going for a killing blow she reached out and grabbed a handful of Sev’s hair. She wrapped most of the ponytail around her fist and then pulled Sev into position in front of her. Six wasn’t going for a simple kill, she was going for spectacle. She was going for an execution. Sev reached over her head clawing at Six’s arm to no avail. At such a peculiar angle it was difficult for her to find any purchase or leverage. “This is how traitors die”, Six whispered as began moving the blade towards Sev’s neck. However, they were both facing the counter. Sev caught a glimpse of the old android X shifting around under his desk. What was he up to?

Nessa couldn't react in time with Feya's lunge, she only braced herself for the impact. There was silence before a loud clang echoed through the area, Nessa glanced up to see Feya pushed back by a large chunk of metal. A low hiss echoed from her feet, the Star-Born looked down at Ra, who had slipped from his spot in the bag and ran to help his owner. He fluffed himself up defensively in front of Ness.
"Ra!" She exclaimed, "What are you doing?" Ra glanced back to Nessa and nodded, giving a bit of a wink before he fluffed himself more. "I don't want you hurt mister. Back in the bag." Ra fluffed himself more before his ears perked up. He darted towards the bag quickly, tunneling into it before disappearing.
Nessa turned her attention to Feya as she threw off the piece of metal holding her. She charged Nessa again, Nessa moving to charge her back with her arm up. They both exchanged blows, but they either dodged or traded blows. Neither of them spoke but the sounds of both of them grunting and grumbling as they hit each other.

Ra darted out of the bag without either of the others seeing, he held something in his mouth as he darted out of the room and down the hall towards Sev and Six. As soon as he saw Six he leaped and spun around; tossing one of the Scoutbots towards Six.
He watched as the scoutbot fly through the air he readied himself to activate it as soon as it would slam into Six's face.

"This is your last chance Six", Sev breathed haggardly as she struggled, "It doesn't have to be this way". She could sense the slightest hesitation from Six before simply uttered, "It has to be this way". Luckily Sev was being held in an angle where Six had a blind spot. Sev's optics were picking up movement, something small and scurrying. It was Ra coming in to assist. Sev took this opportunity to pull against Six with all of her strength just as she was going in for the killing blow. She'd managed to evade just enough for Six to slice through the ponytail that she was being held by. Six brought back nothing but a bundle of synthetic hair in her fist. The scoutbot found it's mark as it impacted against her face and activated. The bot harried Six and flitted about, distracting her long enough for Sev to tumble and roll a few feet away. "Wha-", Six slashed at the bot wildly, grunting in frustration, "This toy won't save you Seve-". I blaster bolt flying from the counter behind Sev and ripped through Six's left shoulder. In spite of the force of the shot Six stood her ground as if she'd merely been pushed gently. A combination of the down from her jacket and blue blood erupted from the wound. The androids exchanged confused glances until Six's gaze fell upon the source of the blast. Sev glanced over her shoulder to find X holding a blaster rifle like he'd been designed for combat.
Six's face had been splattered with blue flecks of her own synthetic blood. She looked even more crazed than she had before. She held up her arm and activated the knife, gearing up to throw once again. Sev had one opportunity to take Six out of the fight. Her body reacted before she even fully processed what she was doing. Without hesitation, Sev reached onto the small of her back and brandished the sawed-off. She didn't aim for Six's head, that would've killed her easily. Instead she set her sights on the heated knife. Just as Six had reached the peak of her throwing motion Sev pulled the trigger and unleashed the shells. The heated knife must have reacted to the buckshot, resulting in a minor explosion. Six's heads-up display was filling with red exclamation points and damage assessments indicating that she was in trouble. When the smoke finally cleared Six's once elegant hand was nothing more than a smoldering, skeletal mess. The immense heat of the reaction had caused two of her fingers to melt and fuse together. There was an awkward pause before Six grabbed the area where her hand had once been and simply began shrieking in agony. Sev knew exactly what had happened. There was a certain threshold of damage that they could take before their pain receptors would reactivate. It was a system that let them know if they needed to retreat from a fight. Six's pain receptors had just caught up to the amount of damage that she'd taken. It pained Sev to put her sister into such a state but it had to be done.
"X", Sev got up to her feet, "You need to get the hell out of here and never come back". The old android looked to Sev with slightly puzzled expression, "Wh- Where will I go? What will I do".
"It doesn't matter", Sev exclaimed, "Just go". With that she shoved the android by it's shoulder to prompt him to get moving. It's joints groaned and creaked with ever step it took towards the exit.
By now Six was on her knees still clutching the stump and screaming hysterically. Sev wanted to try to talk to her, comfort her, anything. But she wasn't the sister that she knew anymore. Six was a murderous monster now. Sev took one last good look at Six as she writhed on the lobby floor before she turned to leave and find Nessa. She grabbed the scoutbot and placed it onto her belt like she'd watched Nessa do before. "Come on Ra", she called to the creature as she sped towards the bay area. More sounds of combat could be heard echoing through the corridors. "Just hold on Ness", Sev said under her breath.
