<span class="bbc_u">Lift to rebel base</span><br/><br/>"Don't worry Nine I'll keep an eye out for you and Maya there."  Kirk had responded just before Nine quickly exited the vehicle followed shortly after by Maya.  All he could do as he punched in the commands for the door to close once again was shake his head in wonder.  There certainly never was a dull moment when it came to be a rebel working in the swamps but this day had truly taken the cake.<br/><br/>There was still plenty of time before the lift arrived at the correct level of the Rebel base for Kirk to respond to Jaspers questions.  Which he did by telling Jasper how Tamis had actually been there looking for Mr. Soames but since he was not available had settled for talking with Kirk instead.  Then Kirk turned on the mini holo projector Tam had slipped into his hand before leaving and gave Jasper a brief account of their conversation at least the pertinent parts that Jasper would need to know in order to start formulating his own opinion and hopefully inspire the man towards a similar type of research if in fact it was not something Jasper had not already considered.  Kirk also using Nine's own story described how the two Mods had ended up being a part of the group.   After finishing his little speech Kirk finished by adding, "Which brings me to a point that I never seem to have the chance to ask you.  Would you be interested in a more permanent position working for and with the rebel organization.  Our lab facilities may not be as 100% grand as GenCorps but they are better than most of the others out there."  Much of the said equipment coming from company's that had been put out of business by one sector or another of the Rebel factions who actually worked a lot more closely together than most non rebels tended to believe of them.<br/><br/>_______________________<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Pickler's  </span><br/><br/>The voice in 13A's head seemed to start to fade into the back ground.  Whether it was from the fact something or someone had heard his pleading for it to stop or because he had finally been able to get it compartmentalized where it was no longer as much of a driving desperate call.  Or for all he knew something had happened to the source of that call.  But judging by his friends reactions that hardly seemed to be the case.<br/><br/>With most of the fog of urgency and pain lifted from his mind 13A once again became more aware of his surroundings and his neighboring friends.  13 was very surprised at the display of brute strength being put on by the Saytr Dionys as he slowly dragged his cage closer to that of the feline's.  Looking over the other direction he saw Rhiyu working at one of the bars of her cage noticing the fact that it was starting to get pulled out of the cement that was holding it in place.  Bambi seemed to still be locked within herself perhaps still listening or even talking to whatever inner voice that had been that had spoken apparently to all of them.<br/><br/>Taking his cue from Rhiyn 13A used his feline strength to start working a one of the bars on the side closest to Dionys thinking that if he managed to get one out by the time the Saytr got close enough to 13's cage they would be able to use the bar together as leverage to pry the bars apart with easier than if they had been working at them separately.   And since the Fat man was a man of complete arrogance all they really needed was for one of them to escape since the keys for all of their cages were hung on a peg on the far wall near the door where the Baron always made his entrance in the morning and left through at the days end.  Only one of them needed to get out long enough to run and get the keys then they would all be free.  But then what...  that was the question that still bothered 13A even as he began to work at the bar of his cage.
