DAY SIX

[avicula]

[ in which the team has to find a way to fly to the moon, steathily steal a shuttle and manage to get to the moon without incident. ]

i'll match style

[dadandgone]

There had been some debate as to the best way to get to the moon, but in the end they decided getting a shuttle was the only way to do. More so, it was getting a shuttle through means that weren't strictly legal. At least, Maes could assume that commandeering a shuttle wasn't going to be looked at fondly, even in a place like this.

He's still trying not to dwell too much on the events of the day before. They only have one more piece of the puzzle to obtain and then they can all go back to the ship and get out of here. Maes just hopes the worst is behind them, because these trades are starting to get ridiculous.

But, that's in the past and for the moment Maes is keeping his eye on a few promising shuttles. He doesn't know how to fly or operate any of this insane future tech -- but he knows how to play lookout and he is fairly confident that if they get their timing right they can snag a ship without having to actually fight anyone.

Maes adjusts his glasses and leans back, addressing his teammate, "All right. It looks like the crew is getting out. A few more minutes and then we'll need to move quick."

[ dutch isn't happy. she isn't happy at all, but in some situations, the only way out is through. they've come this far, and she refuses to be stuck on a dead ship or on this planet. she refuses to be stuck, period. at least stealing a shuttle gives her something to do, something to occupy her mind with so that it isn't on the secret she told, on what they each shared.

she glances at maes, giving him a brief nod. ] Ready when you are.

[dadandgone]

[A few minutes pass. Maes watches as a few humanoids head off in a different direction. The port is too busy to be completely clear, but if they move fast and with a purpose they can probably go mostly unnoticed. It's not like this is a military facility.]

All right. Come on.

[He only glances back once, to confirm she's coming, before moving towards the ship.]

[worldsaway]

[It has been difficult thus far to move through these obstacles whilst pretending to be at least a little diplomatic. Violence, while momentarily easy, puts them at huge risk. If he were alone, he'd go in guns.. or hammer, blazing. With little ones around like Emil, he won't chance it.

He's spent time watching Maes and Dutch's backs, keeping tabs on Emil all the while. When Maes gives the cue, Emil will find himself being lifted by strong arms and swung up. He's sure he moves fast enough on his own, but he wouldn't forgive himself if they somehow abandoned the youngest of them in a flurry to get on the ship.]

Aye. [That's the only confirmation he needs to give. He's taking swift steps without causing a scene by running like a stampeding bull.]
