Lexi ran swiftly through the base, stopping to hide behind walls or containers inside. The activity was high inside, evidently alert in some sense. She was interested as to why but didn't worry too much about it. She needed to ensure they were swift and quiet in the mission. No attention was drawn to them.

Leaping onto a box hanging from the roof, her eyes scanned around her to locate the missing clones. Spotting the three at a control panel, she leaped over to another crate some distance away. Landing on the ground, her arms went up when three blasters were aimed at her.

"Woah, easy lads. Mind putting those away?" Lexi asks earning a scoff from Crosshair but complies. Tech concentrated on encrypting data with the men around him. Lexi squatted when moving left of the large control panel. Seeing the coast clear, she stood up tall to analyze the area. Running a finger over the panel, her nose wrinkled in distaste when seeing dust.

"This place smells. I say we hurry it up and leave." Hex expressed while he held his two pistols, prepared for anything. Crosshair grunted as to agree with Hex

Tech snickered while continuing his work. "So. Once we get this we can meet and go out the way we came. Hopefully, with my statistics, it all goes according to plan." He mutters before standing up. Holding out a data card, Tech shoved it in his bag.

"We are good to go." Moving forward Lexi went to the left to check their rear ends. Ducking back behind the large tower, her eyes glanced at the men. Singling the men that droids were approaching,

Crosshair positioned himself in case the droids appeared in front of them. Lexi eyed the droids carefully from the shadows. The way their armor slightly glistened with the faint light penetrating inside. Soon the battle droids began to walk away from the group. Waving her hand that the cost was clear, Lexi crept over to Tech.

"Can you see what they are doing?" Lexi asks just to see the clone already two steps ahead of her. Watching him work his beautiful magic, Lexi looked to check on the two men. Watching them glare at each other eased her worries and she went back to watch Tech.

"I'm in... looks like they are rerouting to the other side of the base. Large numbers."

"Tech. Aren't we heading that way?" Hex spoke causing the sniper to seem to glare in their direction.

"It appears so." Tech mutters earning a groan from Lexi. Running a hand down her face, she looked around since she didn't want to confront the stupid clankers.

"Let's use the vents. To make our way out of here without us being spotted. Check where the vents lead out to." Lexi tells Tech.

"You're not our commander so don't give us orders." Crosshair snaps causing Lexi to turn her head to the armored clone. Stalking over to him, Lexi held back from doing something she may regret.
