"Well..." Mick says to himself. "If the worst that Left can throw at me is shutting down a coffee machine somewhere else in the area, what could go wrong?"
The arsonist grabs the left wire, and pulls, removing it from the machine. The power slowly shuts down with a mechanical whirr. Mick then calls Cassie again.
"I got the power out. The left wire was connected to the power source, not the coffee machine." Mick explains.
"Great. Sending the clean-up crew your way." the Rebel responds. "Head back up to Tier 5 and stop by the alley you found me at. I have the payment here, and I can give you the communications key."
"Got it." the Rogue states, removing his hand from the comm system. He leaves the room, back into the factory's main room.
"Well...I got the factory and got accepted into a Rebellion..." Mick says. "What I do from here? I haven't a goddamn clue."
As he walks, he looks around at the carnage that started around the factory. He could still smell the smoke from the operations of machinery and the use of the flame-shooting weaponry. The discarded, empty Heat Gun is laying on the floor. Apart from that and a couple blood spots from the gunshots that reached their target, it seemed as though no battle took place in this room what-so-ever, aided by the complete and utter lack of corpse.
Stepping into the hall he wandered before, he decides to take a peak around the other rooms. A few less weaponized employees, which were promptly scared off when they realized no guards were left in the building. Mick continues to walk, ready to leave the factory.
Then, the gunshot wounds make themselves apparent once again. Holding his right arm, Mick continues to walk, into the next room. The bloodshed that occurred throughout the factory makes itself more apparent, with the corpse of the head mercenary lying on the floor. Surprisingly enough, the bowler hat wasn't set ablaze, instead deciding to simply fall off the head of it's deceased owner. Mick never noticed.
"Spoils of war." Mick states, picking up the black bowler hat off the ground. Dusting it off a bit, he proceeds to put it on. Looking around, he finds nothing else of interest, but he continues to leave.
After about 10 minutes of wandering around, Mick finally finds his way back out of the factory, just in time to see a group of Rebels - fairly poorly armed, and varied - approaching.
"I'm guessing you're the clean-up crew?" Mick asks.
"Yeah, yeah we are." one responds, seemingly the leader of the small group. "Y'know, Cassie never said anything about you having a bowler hat..."
"Spoils of war. Never. Say. No." the Rogue responds. "Anyway, I'm just heading back to meet Cassie now."
"Don't let us stop you." the Rebel says. They then keep walking, heading to clean out the factory.
About 10 more minutes of travel later, Mick enters the elevator, and presses the Tier 5 button, but it's suddenly halted at Tier 6...And Snart walks in.
"Snart...I see your job went well?" the arsonist asks his counterpart.
"Nearly died a few times, got shot at...The usual." Leonard responds. "How'd yours go?"
"Nearly died a few times, got shot at...The usual." Rory responds. "Found this hat."
"Let me guess; decided to snatch it off a burning husk?" Snart asks.
The elevator then stops at Tier 5. Stepping out, Mick heads towards the alleyway he met Cassie in. Snart, similarly, does so to meet the one who hired him. As Mick walks, he bumps into a guy wearing a purple hoodie. He's facing down with the hood up, so he has no idea who he was. Nonetheless, Mick continues on, to the alley where the Rebel recruited him.
"I see you're here..." Cassie says, turning towards the hot-blooded Rogue.
"Well, you asked me to come over here, what did you expect?" Mick asks with a smirk.
"Ha, ha, ha." Cassie responds, rolling her eyes. "Anyway, here's your payment..." She pulls out what appears to be a few bank notes of some sort of currency. Mick doesn't question.
"So, this is equal to...?" Rory asks.
"A few hundred." Cassie says. "Just extract it if you want the raw Omnilium." He then does just that.
A few minutes of extracting Omnilium later, he then focuses on Cassie again.
"And, I can set up the rebel comm key in your communicator, if you'd like." Cassie asks. Mick removes his earpiece, handing it over to Cassie, who then proceeds to get to work on it.
"I can go get Snart, too. Maybe he can be a part of the Rebellion?" Rory asks.
"Sure..." Cassie responds. "From what I've heard, he's good at what he does. He could potentially be useful to our anti-Imperial efforts."
"Got it." Mick says, nodding. He then walks away, to get Snart.
