(D4 EE) Damsel in Distress - Axel

[Axel Ward]

"Axel?"

Axel answered instantly, raising his comm to his lips.

"Wren. You okay?"

He turned to Orellia. "Can you make sure this call's secure?" Axel did keep the transmitter on, so Phoebe would be able to hear, too.

"Hurt but alive. Better off than the ones coming for us."

Hearing that Axel asked if the line was secure, she held off giving details for the moment. "You got company?"

Axel chuckled darkly. "That's what I like to hear, Wren."

After getting the nod from Orella, Axel spoke again. "Orella says the comms are secure. We're headed to the armory. See if we can get our gear, finish off the rest of these scumbags. What's your move?"

[Orella Laerrin]

Orella placed a hand onto Axel's shoulder to get him to halt. She pointed at the screen on her wrist, showing a few gangsters on the display. Without saying a word, she made a turn in their direction. A long way around, but she wanted to get by without any distractions.

"Orella's with you?" it was somewhere between a question and a statement, so that the mother-bear nearby would know that one of her cubs was safe. For the time being.

"Right. Treya and I are holding the bridge, and I've looted the comms of those who tried to seize the bridge. Plan is that we see if we can use their comm-lines to track their movements, as well as coordinate our own folks to show these sons of Hutts that they messed with the wrong clan. Securing the armory is a good move; it should be the rendezvous point for the others."

"I like it." Axel said.

He glanced over at Orella and nodded, waiting until they'd moved away until he spoke again in a whisper. "Okay, we're gonna move. Coordinate from there, see if you can reach any others. Keep us safe, Wren."

He nodded to Orella. "Let's go."

[Orella Laerrin]

Orella nodded and continued to navigate them around. With coordination with her mother, she was able to lock out any potential assailants on the way to the armory...

Go ahead and move into Riza's thread now.
