Perkins checked his phone as a put the books onto the elevator floor, shit, it looked like 13 had gotten a bounty from the Coruscant authorities but luckily he had not been listed as an accomplice. He was still travelling down the elevator to tier 5. He called 13, “Hey 13, you have gone and gotten yourself a bounty, also how long until I should return the books?”
“Second thing first, I’d probably say a bit over 1 month for you but probably whenever. As for the second thing, I wonder how that happened.”
“Hardy ha ha, how are you going to get back here if the stormtroopers and space marines know you by face and name?”
“I have a blueprint that could help you with that and the issue with the books.”
“What issue? I do NOT think for a second that Steven is going to not read the books just because you said so.”
“Is that his name?”
“Is what who’s name.”
“Is ‘Steve’ the leader of your group because it sounds like a name that a very unimaginative person would make up.”
“Yes it is, just answer the question.”
“I’ll call him after we finish this conversation.”
“Sounds good, wait a second, what are the blueprints?”
“One is a servo skull with an arm on to turn the pages and the other is a homing beacon for me to lock onto when I figure out how to teleport.”
“Huh, cool. How are we meant to make these?”
“I’ll tell Steve when I send them.”
13 hung up almost immediately, the elevator was hurtling towards the end of tier 4 but it gave Perkins enough time to reflect about what had happened. He had been sent by his commander to help 13 who was at the time a mysterious new prime who had just taken down some gang members. Now that he thought about that, it seemed a bit weird for the commander to be that trusting of 13. They then went to tier 4 if he remembered correctly where 13 had managed to destroy multiple walls by accident after being given something that he had not seen. They then went down to tier 7 but were stopped by a space marine who had just been sent to tell them to clean up, it was weird but Perkins could probably let it pass. After they had cleaned up after 13, 13 had to go somewhere. He almost immediately returned but the time in between those two events was a blur because he had started drinking, then-. The elevator opened with a ping, alerting Perkins to his surroundings. He walked over to the building after picking up the books, it looked like they had installed a window on the top floor which was nice. Perkins walked in, books in hand to see Steve talking to 13.
“Yes I know that you have more experience but that doesn’t mean that we can’t have a say in this either. Look mister, I don’t care if we ‘careless mortals’ or whatever you said can’t be trusted to hold a fething book, it doesn’t matter. Just send the blueprints and get my arm to make them somehow, OK? Good, we agree then, I’ll make the thing and you can teleport down here when this whole thing blows over. Bye.”
“What was that about?”
“Your partner in crime has quite the attitude it seems, but that doesn’t matter now. Let’s get down to business. You and some of the others can study the books and I’ll just wait until- nope it’s started already. Steve’s hand started pointing in a direction and ‘tugging’ at his shoulder as if it need to get something from over there. “I’ll leave you to it then. Dekkog! Leeroy! Get in here and help Perkins with this. Two men walked over to where Perkins was sat down near him, waiting for some books. Perkins watched as Steve got dragged away and then attempted to clear his head. There was a mission now, and it was handing out books and then reading some others, yay.
Perkins was tired and jittery, with Dekkog and Leeroy he had managed to get through all the books but only after 5 coffees and multiple raids of the fridge. They were all now working together to build the servo skull for 13. Leeroy and Perkins worked on the machine itself while Dekkog, who was a bit slow but as loyal as you get, was passing them some parts and drawing in his book. After many failed attempts, 3 more coffees and Dekkog almost destroying the whole thing more than once, they were done. The servo skull beeped, attempted to flip all of them except for Dekkog off and began to flip through the books with its hands. While this was happening Steve walked out with a glowing stick in his hand. “What’s that?” Said Perkins as he walked up. “The homing beacon, apparently I just need to stick it somewhere and 13 will do the rest.” Steve put the beacon on the seat, ready for when he returned.
