A Glorious Comeback (1x! with *Adashi*)

[mandalorian]

Rhys moves back to his interface, bringing it over to Zero and switching to the security footage in their current room. He reverses the footage to when the two had originally entered and when Rhys met them, playing it out for Zero with the sound and letting him evaluate it for himself.

Zero reviews it, tilting his head slightly as he crosses his arms at his chest. "Hunter is silenced / Operator operating / Humans in control." He stated, pointing out that Zane seemed to be the one that was actually incharge of the entire situation sinc eFl4k didn't interject at all, didn't try to correct the story or anything.

Rhys nods in agreement, crossing his arms and thinking for a moment or two before speaking."But it's still weird, isn't it? Their story changed. Flak insisted Hyperion wanted them brought in, and then this guy said Hyperion only wanted to ensure it was safe for Jack to remain with us. That makes no sense. Flak wouldn't have gone through the trouble of attacking us directly only for the story to end up correct."

Zero drums his fingers alittle. "Possibly tried to survey atlas. Or even just see him and take him outright. Operatives are... difficult to kill." He stated, shaking his head a bit at the idea. Jack is probably going to be all sorts of riled the moment he learns. "Going to need his toy and deep breathing." He stated in reference to jack.

"Hopefully he'll have a better idea of what's happening. It took a bit of convincing to calm him down earlier." Rhys admits, waving away the interface. "I should get back and see what he thinks."

[Agent Maine(Meta)]

"Take it easy with him. Irrational at times, remember." Zero stated with a small nod of his head and placing a hand on rhys shoulder in a reassuring manner before stepping away, then goes to return to Fiona's side.

Rhys nods, watching Zero leave before turning and taking a breath. He heads back to the elevator and steps inside easily, tapping his foot as it goes up to the penthouse. He heads to the door and opens it easily, moving back to the room where he assumed Jack remained. "Jack?"

[Agent Maine(Meta)]

Jack very much remained in rhys room, having settled back into sleep seconds after rhys had left the penthouse, so he was curled around a pillow at the moment. His sides rising and falling easily with each relaxed breath at the moment. When his name is called, a soft noise escapes him, a sort of chirping noise as he curls tighter around the pillow and nuzzles into it, chirping developing into soft purrs soon enough.

Rhys looks at Jack when he hears him trill. He makes a quiet noise and quickly moves forward, crawling onto the bed beside Jack and curling up beside him. He stares at him for a moment or two, smiling quite fondly. It's almost enough to make him forget telling him about the two hunters earlier, before he grabs the pillow and removes it from Jack's grasp and then pulls him into his grasp, holding him close. "You're gonna have to wake up so I can talk to you." He whispers into his ear.

[Agent Maine(Meta)]

Jack huffs and kicks a bit, tightening his grasp on the pillow even as it was still taken from him and moved. He doesn't fight it however as he just curled up against rhys, purring quite a bit more as he faintly nuzzled rhys. His body shifting a bit, most likely fighting to stay asleep, but still opens his eyes partly. "Mmm... Do i have to?' He mumbled to question if he really had to get up.
