Lucille would've rolled her eyes...If she didn't have more to worry about! She was just glad her boyfriend wasn't going to hear about this - It was going to be<em>hard</em>to explain. And that wasn't the *only* thing that was hard, as the hacker leered at her...Her gaze thankfully diverted to the slowly-forming cordon, as a wave of panic washed across the beach's glorious golden sands!<br/><br/>"This way," she said, moving with purpose - Breathing a little easier, now they were out of the arcology! Her lissome legs carried her forward, her hand gripping the hacker's wrist firmly - She wasn't about to lose him, not when she'd gone to all this trouble to get him out! Etoile's keen blue eyes flicked up...She could tell they didn't have much time before<em>serious</em>firepower came their way - With police hovercraft skimming closer, they looked like they were having some trouble getting a handle on *exactly* what had just happened.<br/><br/>All the better. Confusion to the enemy. Amid the bewildered crowd, it was almost too easy to get to the boat - To Etoile's relief, the machine purred to life when she slid the token in place! It took her a moment to get the gravitic drive aimed in the right direction, as her commandeered craft made for open waters...An idea at least a dozen other people must've had, because there was no shortage of hanger-ons! Civilians launches, skimmers and the odd luxury yacht took the chance to hastily vacate the area, too...<br/><br/>-But it wasn't until she'd twisted the throttle to maximum power, her craft skimming the waves, when Etoile finally let herself breathe a sigh of relief! She'd key her wrist-control, calling in the<em>Zephyr</em>for a pickup - At this range, they should be out of reach of the anti-aircraft guns...She<em>hoped</em>. The luscious violet-haired beauty glanced back over her shoulder, her brow furrowing just so - Now was the time for the hard questions!<br/><br/>"Oh, it depends," Etoile mused aloud - An arch note as she fixed her violet gaze on him, setting the boat to autopilot. "It seems that both the Liberated Federation and<em>someone else</em>wants you...Care to tell me why?" she inquired, oh-so-curious. "Though given that you knew I was coming, I get the feeling you arranged for your<em>own</em>extraction. If I get you to Centra, instead...Exactly what it's in for me~?"<br/><br/>She got the feeling she'd have the video hanging over her head for a little while longer...One way or another-!
