Summary: After a good night's sleep the pair will have to look for both halves of the device. Will they find a clue to its location? Will the pair get time alone?
Anna woke up and couldn't help feeling embarrassed after last night. Elsa tried to kiss her again only to be met with an open mouth. Then no matter what Anna tried another yawn just ruined all attempts at intimacy. She knew Elsa was embarrassed, but Anna felt the same way. It was quite the predicament.
She got up took a quick shower and tossed her clothes back on. As soon as she stepped foot out of her room she heard Aren overhead "She is in the cargo hold. She also hasn't eaten yet this morning."
"Thank you," Anna replied as she stopped and grabbed to breakfast packs. When she came around the corner she saw Elsa standing at a work bench that must have rose up out of the ground. She had a full military outfit on and appeared to be bulkier than usual. It meant she was probably wearing body armor of some sort. Anna walked up and set a food pack next to Elsa "I'm sorry about last night."
"You don't need to apologize," Elsa responded without looking up from the pistol that had been taken apart. Her body language said that last night was still bothering her. Anna reached out and laid her hand on Elsa's arm. That at least stopped her from working and she looked up so that they were once again eye to eye.
"Landing procedure underway," Aren announced and Anna couldn't help frowning. She felt like last night ruined all they had built.
"Go up to the flight deck and you can talk to me and keep track of me the whole time," Elsa said with a half-smile as she brought her arm up. It was the arm where Anna had rested her hand on. Elsa then kissed the hand and said "I have to finish this."
Anna took the hint and headed towards the flight deck. She then stopped and looked back over her shoulder "I'll be watching out for you." She wanted to say more, but didn't as Elsa might be going into a fight with James and Jane and needed to be in the right frame of mind. Anna finished her breakfast just as she stepped foot on the flight deck. She noticed they weren't at the Castle. "Aren why are we at the commercial space port?"
"After the spying incident Elsa and I thought it would be best if we stayed away from the Castle," Aren answered. Anna nodded her head and sat down in the co-pilots chair again. She brought the several holo projectors over and brought them to life. Then she checked on traffic to the locations and if there have been any disturbances around those areas. There was nothing of note in either report.
Anna then remembered the interface program she started for Aren and brought that back up. "We are taking off and will monitor Elsa from the air," Aren announced as the ship gave a rock as they took off again.
"Can Elsa hear me at all?" Anna asked looking over at the holo terminal that Elsa always looked at.
"There is an ear piece on the consul on your left that you can use to speak to her," Aren replied and Anna looked over and saw there was an ear communication device resting on an imbedded location on the consul.
She picked it up and placed it in her ear. "Elsa can you hear me?"
"Yes. Aren must have patched you into our com-link," Elsa replied.
"Traffic is clear and no disturbance reported in any of the area's that you are headed," Anna reported as she went back to coding. The three holo's gleamed as she tracked Elsa's movement on one, opened a link to the Children servers on a second and casually coded on the third.
"We have a package being delivered," Aren announced. "They have Elsa's correct code. The drone will drop the package in the cargo bay."
"But we are in the air?" Anna asked slightly confused.
"Yes, but with enough credits you can get anything delivered. I would guess this was the clothing she ordered you," Aren replied and Anna couldn't help letting her face fall into her hands. She had forgotten about that as she was so focused on work. "You should go get it and maybe change clothes."
Anna followed Aren's suggestion and went into the cargo hold. The packed was fairly large and just as Aren thought it was three sets of clothing that she had picked out. There were also several pairs of underwear and two bras's that Anna didn't remember ordering. "There are more clothes here then I selected Aren," Anna asked as she picked up the clothing and took them to her room.
"Elsa selected a few things that she thought you forgot," Aren replied as Anna stripped off the old clothing and pulled on the new. It actually felt good to have clothing that actually fit correctly. She went back up onto the flight deck and as soon as she arrived "You look nice."
Anna couldn't help smiling as she was just paid a compliment by a computer, but couldn't help saying "Thank you Aren."
"I performed a scan of the demolished building that was the second hide out. I couldn't find any trace of the rare material that Dr. Z had mentioned," Aren reported over the com-link.
"Ok good I didn't destroy the device," Elsa replied. "I'm entering the original hideout location."
"Watch for traps on the stairs up to the third floor. That is where you were held and the server room is located," Anna announced and she couldn't help stopping everything to sit and watched Elsa's locator.
"Thanks for the heads up," Elsa answered as she slowly moved up the stairs. Anna saw that Elsa stopped several times on the stairs as she must have found some traps that James had set up. Once she was on the main floor Anna checked and made sure the original trap wasn't reactivated. It wasn't as James wouldn't have been nearly tech savvy to reset it, but it was better to be safe. "Where are the servers?" Elsa asked.
"Second door on the left was the computer room. There is a false wall that we built to hide the servers after we evacuated. You should be able to get through easily enough," Anna answered. "The first server will only have one drive with a blinking light that should be the one. Also the secure vault will be in the server room. That is where they told me the device was hidden," she hoped it was still there, but expected it to be gone.
She watched as the drive disappeared from the server list. "That was the correct one. Now go past the servers and –"
"The vault is wide open and empty" Elsa interrupted with the bad news. "I'll still do a complete sweep of the building. Then Aren inform the local Castle of the buildings location and contents." Aren gave a slight beep in acknowledgement.
Aren brought up the building layout and Anna gave it a quick once over, but saw nothing that didn't look familiar. If the device was in the building Elsa would have to find it the hard way.
It took a couple of hours for Elsa to declare the building clear. In that time Anna was able to finish the program that could give Aren a little more form. "Aren I finished the VI program if you want to look it over before installing it," Anna then move the holo away to watch as Elsa was driving to the third hideout. "Aren can you scan the third location for the device material?"
"The area is underground and lined with a concrete blend. It blocks my scanners and to me it appears to just be ground," Aren answered and Anna let out a puff of air.
"I'm here and there is a locked gate leading into the station," Elsa reported, but that didn't stop her from getting into the location. The underground layout came up on the holo and she tried to find the location by strength of will alone.
"This area still has a lot of supplies, but it looks like things have been refiled through. They must have been here at some point," Elsa reported.
"I would still watch for traps," Anna decided that if James and Jane left planet they would be sure to trap the supplies just in case.
"There is a large hole in a wall and it leads out to the old tracks," Elsa started to say, but her communication link started to cut out.
"Elsa we can't understand you," Anna said as she brought up another holo.
"Attempting to fly lower in order to maintain com link," Aren reported and Anna looking into the software that controlled Aren's communication relay and it was top of the line.
"Elsa?" Anna asked. Static replied her request as it sounded like Elsa was trying to talk to them. "Aren what do we do?"
"We wait."
"What wait? What if she is in danger?" Anna asked.
"This is the hardest part about being with Elsa. She goes into dangerous situations all the time and sometimes we just have to wait it out," Aren answered.
Anna wasn't someone who could just wait by the sidelines. "Aren land at the space port I'm going to go after her," Anna said as she stood up and headed towards the cargo hold.
"I can't let you do that Anna. You are to stay on the ship no matter what," Aren's reply caused Anna to stop and look up at the ship. "If you go down you put yourself and Elsa in even more danger. Trust her and she will amaze you." She closed her eyes, put her head down and walked back onto the flight deck.
