"It's sentimental, Jack. A symbol of... Friendship." Rhys says, though he's obviously making stuff up on the spot as he pauses and then continues with confidence. He looks over at Zer0 as the assassin announces Jack will have to be deactivated, about to protest until he remembers Zed wants the power core back. “... Uh. Right. Zed wants his power core back, Jack. You'll come back online when we're at the facility. Just take a break for a bit, okay? Don't stress yourself out over this. You've had a rough few hours.”

[Agent Maine(Meta)]

Jack looks as if he wants to protect over this, but doesn't as he instead mumbles a 'Yeah, fine' under his breath as he crosses his arms at his chest, seeming a bit tense even. Thought he did follow through, his holographic form blinking out all at once before the holo-disk gave a soft hum that died down in pitch before going from its bright blue glow to pitch black, showing it was offline.

Zero surprisingly could understand the reluctant since jack literally terminated himself not to long ago. Either way. He shrugged a bit and walked forward, carefully disconnecting the holo-disk and power core before grabbing both. Rhys could get the ID drive if he hadn't already a well as Dumpy (he didn't know if axton was coming with them). Then he'd go give the core back and then they could leave.

Rhys unplugs the ID drive from the computer and closes all the files it had opened, slipping it into his pocket easily. He turns to look at Zer0, and loops an arm around his waist to pull the assassin down and plant a kiss on the side of their helmet. When they go downstairs, Rhys looks over at Axton and gestures to the Dumpy bot he was examining. "Do you want to come back to Atlas? I'm gonna get a bot for Dumpy, you can help if you want. But it's been a long day, so... I wouldn't blame you if you'd rather stay behind."

[Agent Maine(Meta)]

"I'll stay. Someone who isn't extremely vague and cryptic should explain what has been happening to the team after all." Axton stated as he made a gesture to the bot on the table so Rhys could take it since zero's hands were full while Zero flashed him a smiley face to show his appreciation.

Rhys nods in understanding, picking up Dumpy carefully and practically cradling it. "Thanks for your help, Axton. we'll see you soon." He says before moving to leave. He stops momentarily, turning around. "Buddy!" He calls, and when the beast bounces over, he opens the door for him and Zer0. They had to stop by Dr. Zed's to give him back his power core, but Rhys nearly gagged when the door opened and thus decided he'd wait by the fast travelling station instead of witnessing the conversation between Zer0 and Zed. "Did you have fun visiting Vaughn, Buddy? He's my best friend. I've known him for years." He rambles as they walk, though it's not very far and takes less than ten seconds for them to arrive.

[Agent Maine(Meta)]

Buddy pranced on all six paws in excitement. Yipping and whining happily as his tail wagged rapidly. He even bounced side to side, spread out his wings and gave a loud shriek before having to settle down as Zero returned without the power core and seemed perfectly fine and definitely ready to leave.

After fast travelling to the nearest station closest to Atlas, the walk back didn't take very long but the heat was definitely making Rhys itchy to shower. He punches in the number codes and the facility unlocks itself easily, turning itself on as soon as they're all through the door. Still empty, a little chime plays throughout the facility, echoing, and Rhys stretches. "Finally." He mumbles, and drops his arms by his sides. He practically drags himself down to his room, motioning for Zer0 to place the holo-disk on the bedside as he grabs clean pairs of clothes. "I'll be back." He promises, and slips into the bathroom to shower.

[Agent Maine(Meta)]

Buddy's quick to go for their water dish, downing all of it before going to flop on their bed without hesitation. A content noise escaping the beast as Zero shook his head before setting the Holo-disk on the bedside beside the scraps of Dumpy. Zero Idles a bit, walking around the room quietly, briefly leaves the room and comes back with caramel in his arms who's screaming practically because They left the poor cat alone for two maybe three days? He sets her down on the bed then leaves again, coming back with food and water for the feline, who happily goes for it.

He briefly tugs off his gloves, sets them on the bed, looks at his hands before taking off his helmet and setting that on the bed as well. He contemplates a few things before ultimately shrugging, opening his holo bag to get a few things out of it. He makes quick and simple work, tosses his stealth suit on the bed after he finishes changing and lets the iridescent wings open to stretch them out a bit before letting them close and stretching his arms above his head.

The shower lets Rhys wash off any dried up blood that remained, also letting him look around at the bruises scattered around on his body. Though the warm water helps the ache, Rhys gets out fairly quickly and pulls the dull yellow shirt he selected over his head and a blue jacket over his arms to cover them up. Adjusting the collar of his shirt to hide as much blue as possible, Rhys lets out a long sigh. His hair gelled back as usual, Rhys leaves the bathroom and pauses when he sees Zer0 out of armor. "H - Hey, Zer0. Comfy?" He teases, a little flustered before his eyes wander to Caramel. He's quick to go and pet her. "Aw, I'm sorry, girl. We'll get Jack back up and running." He promises, then looks back to Zer0.

"And you're okay with Jack seeing you out of suit, or do... Do you want me to just take him to my office?"

[Agent Maine(Meta)]

Zero looks when Rhys leaves the bathroom and is amused with the flush on Rhys skin now. He watches him go and pet caramel, who gives a grumble as she eats but does nothing more before shrugging at the question. "He's fully aware / Why should we cover up now / Could always mute him." He questioned, not seeing any harm in it now. Besides, who would believe jack? Who would jack even tell?
