Ethan sat next to Qulana, who was sleeping, exhausted, next to him. It had been, maybe an hour or two since they had left the club, Paladin was broken out of his reverie when his VI's comm beeped. "Jeeves, I said level 2" "You did sir, it's a message from your Employer" Paladin brought up the message
"Huh, we already found their base, damn! remind me never to sit in the Aegis interrogation room. Jeeves, get both the showers running, We'll be in them shortly, and set up a repeating countdown, every five minutes for thirty minutes."
He smacked Qulana on the ass to wake her up, as she stirred he told her what was going on. "We got a message from Aegis, we're moving on a smugglers base, and we need to be on base in half an hour, I've got a shower running and Jeeves will give us some warning." He nudged her up and out of his bed and led her to the Women's restroom and shower, while he occupied himself in the mens.
After cleaning off his sweat and taking another set of pain pills for his still bruised body (although he reflected that it was healing nicely, with his boosts he should be back in fighting form shortly) he went back to his bedroom and strapped his armor back on, and once again felt the extremely helpful nanobots suffuse his skin. He then went down to the cargo bay and pulled his pistol, rifle and SMG, then strapped his nano-sharpened hunting knife to his back, after all, you never know when you have to get up close and personal.
he managed all this quickly, thanks in large part to practice and repetition. Then went to check on Qualana, it wouldn't do for her to be late for her first mission.
