The Sparrow

Chapter Six

Mission Impossible
Layla Lancaster

We've been flying through light speed on the Sparrow for a few hours now, and our new guests have very different outlooks on our chances of success for our upcoming mission to steal Blackhearts Proton Cannon right from his vault. While Magnum has be mostly quiet and ready to get this task over with, Locke has been loud and has made it his personal goal to make sure we know where he stands.

"This is perhaps the stupidest shit I've ever pulled, and I've done some pretty stupid shit in my time, but this, this is by far the most suicidal" Locke shouted pacing back and fourth in the cockpit. Dawn was driving, while Ex, Magnum, Zade and I were behind the cockpit around a holotable with a map of Blackheart's vault.

"Where the hell did you even get a map of that place? It's not like Blackheart would let that on public records" Locke barked waving his arms over to the holo table.

Ex, arms crossed with a cold calm look across his face answered slowly.

"Locke. We have powerful friends, where do you think we got this information from?"

Locke nodded, that seemed to shut him up slightly. "Still stupid" He mumbled.

Cyblow sat nearby taking apart his large gun and cleaning it.

"Is he done talking yet?" Cyblow asked, looking around and taking a headphone out of his ear. I heard the earth song "Back In Time- by Huey Lewis" practically blasting out of his earphone.

"No," Zade answered, rolling his eyes.

"I'll say it, regardless of who you work for, Blackheart will have this vault heavily guarded, and not just with manpower, but with locks and safes that Magnum and I have never even heard of!"

"Elliot told us you're the best, do you want to be paid or not?" Ex asked.

"Of course I want the money man! I'm just saying that you need to know who you're going against man! Blackheart's army has taken out so many people and are capable of so much"

"Hey" Cyblow spoke. Locke glanced over to Cyblow.

"You have no idea who you're working for my man" Cyblow smirked.

"Yeah man" Dawn spoke up, turning around in her chair. "Ralph right? Look, if i hear one more piece of shit come out of your mouth that your so kindly spitting right now I'll throw you off this ship myself"

Locke rolled his eyes and placed his hands in his pocket. He was clearly scared of Blackheart for some reason, reasons that probably weren't important to discuss at this moment.

"Locke isn't wrong" Ex pointed out. We all looked over at Ex as Ex controlled the holo map to zoom in on the Vault's large entrance.

"The main door is usually guarded by at least a dozen soldiers. And this door is like nothing I've ever seen. Locke, do you know this door?" Ex asked.

Locke walked over to the holotable and looked closely. "No. Magnum?" Locke asked looking over at his companion.

"Meesu ka sa" Magnum explained, Locke nodded and rubbed his short beard on his chin.

"Excellent point Magnum" Locke zoomed out the map and started rotating it.

"What?" I asked looking around the room to the non Magnum translators to see if they got any of that.

"Magnum wants us to look for another way inside, he says that the door is certainly breach able, but all the cameras would attract attention."

Locke zoomed in on another point of entry to the facility built into the mountain.
