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

[mandalorian]

Rhys heads down to R&D, arriving at the lab where they kept the Eridium. It doesn't take long for them to sort out how much to give Rhys, eventually settling on a filled up specialized transportation container that he has to hold against his chest. He gives a grateful mumble once they've handed it to him before heading back to the elevator, humming to himself on the way and struggling just a bit to hit the buttons without spilling the container contents everywhere. He eventually makes it back to the penthouse, his struggle with the box barely visible when he has both hands on it and he's passing through the doors again. He places the specialized holding box on the table and peers into the kitchen. "Oh god, how many are you making?”

Jack's handling a fresh, hot, out of the oven batch, which is the fourth one maybe? Either way, theres a good amount across the counter. He looks from the second batch of chocolate to rhys, then back at the rest of them. "Umm..... Yeah, not sure. Might of gotten carried away here. Can't exactly lock myself in an office to do work or a work shop." He mumbled. Theres at least 2 dozen fully frosted vanilla's, now about 2 dozen chocolate, and only a dozen red velvet. He taps his foot a bit at this before setting the holder aside. Its uneven and its bothering him already.... One more batch couldn't hurt, just to get the red velvet to match.

Rhys steps into the kitchen, looking over all the cupcakes with a frown. "Um. Jack. I don't mean to be the bearer of bad news, but we aren't gonna be able to finish all of this before they go bad. If anything, we'll only eat like, one or two trays and there'd still be an extra three leftover. So... What exactly is the plan here? Are we supposed to go walking around Atlas, handing out cupcakes or something?”

"Well, you can always offer your girlfriend some. And if Zero barges in here like last night again, not to mention all your other little Bandit friends." He retorted with another shrug of his shoulders, already putting together the ingrediants for a last batch.

"Sasha probably won't be back for another day or two, Jack. She's busy. Because she has a job.” Rhys points out, leaning against one of the empty counters. And I really doubt Timothy and Vaughn are gonna come barging through the door. Timothy wants to kill me right now, and Vaughn's probably the only thing holding him back. If they do show up, if anything, I need to hide.”

"Ya know, if i had my echo i'd be able to tell you exactly where lawrence is any time of day. Hell, i'd be able to tell you were any of the doubles i employeed were, but i don't so i can't help." He answered with a shrug of his shoulders as he started putting the batter into the cups.

'I know your mad, and i'm sorry i ditched. But... Rhys did say they found jack near the vault. And Athena said they perimeter warnins on the vault were set off, i'm just checking it out, i promise i'll be back. Timothy sent this to vaughn hours ago and hadn't checked his echo sense. The words almost, concerning.

"Yeah, well, your echo is probably burnt up at the bottom of the magma pit, Jack.” Rhys states, rolling his eyes.

Vaughn is worrying. Of course he's worrying. It doesn't take him very long to completely leave the Children of Helios, despite Yvette insisting that he should stay behind and let one of the vault hunters take care of it. But Timothy is in possible danger, or doing something stupid, and he isn't gonna let that happen. He needs to find Timothy. He sends a quick message to Rhys, asking if he still had people set up at the Vault, and then one to Athena to question if Timothy informed her of his decision to check out the vault.

[Agent Maine(Meta)]

'No, haven't gotten anything from him since his little prank. If he's going to go do something stupid, he might of gone to new-new haven or this area in southern shelf. Where two of our teammates passed. athena sends back instantly.

"No, pretty sure it'd be in some rubble. Because i left it in my office on helios. But either way, same princeable." He stated with a wave of his hand before gesturing to rhys own echo. "You gunna get that pumpkin? Its been pinging for a while." He concluded.

[mandalorian]

"Sheesh. Sorry for trying to be involved in a conversation.” Rhys replies, taking his echo and opening the messages received. He immediately frowns at it, standing up a bit more and sending a reply to Vaughn of no and then followed by a series of questions because Vaughn mentioned Timothy and the vault and that's worrying. "Something's happening with Tim and the Warrior, apparently.”

Vaughn reads the message and doesn't bother to reply, getting a bad feeling because Timothy mentioned Athena in his message so this definitely wasn't a good sign. He knows bits and pieces about Timothy's lost teammates, but not much, but knows from warnings that the Southern Shelf was definitely a place to avoid. So he brings up a map and decides to head there first. Timothy might've been lying about the Vault of the Warrior.

[Agent Maine(Meta)]

"Well... I haven't gotten anything about an intruder or anything." Jack stated as he scratches the back of his neck. "You got a map and computer of pandora? Might be able to locate him." He questioned with a raised brow as he crosses his arms loosely at his chest.
