Chaeri and Tosca followed Adrianne aboard <\/span>Silent Blur<\/span><\/i>. \u00a0Captain Bubbles\u2019 comforting scent welcomed them as well as the soft purples, reds, and greys lining the walls. \u00a0Soft plush carpets, and holographic projections of art gave an air of sophistication. \u00a0With all of the decorated comfort around them, one would forget they were on a war machine. \u00a0However, Tosca remembered that the high tech lockers held who knows what and promised battle readiness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Upon entry, the three ladies immediately went to the cockpit. \u00a0There in silent observation sat the true servant and ruler of the craft.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEye Captain,\u201d Adrianne said with her customary salute.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGreetings Captain,\u201d Cheari followed with a bowing nod.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tosca\u2019s greeting was unique. \u00a0She sang, \u201cMissed you Bubbles,\u201d as she bent, winked, and blew the droid a kiss.<\/span><\/p>\n

A small light at the bottom of the filled sphere blinked after each of their gestures. \u00a0It blinked particularly brightly after Tosca\u2019s display as it recognized her most of all. \u00a0She was never able to pilot <\/span>Silent Blur<\/span><\/i>, but she did play many games on the craft that challenged the computer\u2019s artificial intelligence. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After making themselves known to the device, they all went about their own business aboard the ship. \u00a0Adrianne sat in the pilot\u2019s chair while Chaeri went into the navigator\u2019s station. \u00a0Tosca however went to the rear of the craft to look over the many droids.<\/span><\/p>\n

The flight itself was fast, smooth, and uneventful. \u00a0Chaeri had a few questions about the Skyguard pilots following them but after an explanation of earlier events, she understood the need.<\/span><\/p>\n

—–<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAlright,\u201d guard Hanny Rong sighed into the communicator as she walked the lab.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was getting late. \u00a0The Rubin\u2019s Lab Guards were finishing their rounds but there seemed little need. \u00a0About this time of night, all work had long finished. \u00a0There was nothing to be seen except the deactivated droids on the workstations. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These guards were the strongest of the elite, most highly and continually trained, but they usually had little to do this time of night. \u00a0No one had any reason to be there. \u00a0Only the researchers with the deadliest of deadlines would keep working this late into the night. \u00a0However, no one was the last worker list tonight. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why would anyone be here<\/span><\/i>, the silence shouted at Hanny. \u00a0There could possibly be a thief, but only a creative fool would bury deep enough to try and steal something from this secure location.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m done here,\u201d Hanny spoke more confidently with one <\/span>final<\/span><\/i> final glance over the lab, \u201clet\u2019s go to cameras only.\u201d \u00a0With that, she closed the door and headed to the camera station. \u00a0Besides, their main prize was resting. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

AD7 was watched continually throughout the day and especially at night even before she had regained consciousness. \u00a0No chances were taken with the one that had caused such a horrible catastrophe. \u00a0However, it seemed that she too was resting at this hour. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hanny left the silent and still lab. \u00a0All the droids were in their place at their respective tables unfeeling and lifeless. \u00a0She had drew the short straw and was on patrolling duty with Roman Huo, the creepy new guy. \u00a0She had found a way to ditch him, but she would be meeting with him again in the security office soon.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A few minutes after Hanny and Roman made it to the camera room, the cameras watching the research lab stopped swinging. \u00a0A hidden program had taken over their motherboards decades ago. \u00a0They knew to play looped recordings of a still lab. \u00a0They will play these same recordings until they receive new instructions.<\/span><\/p>\n
