Xhylar got past the second security checkpoint with relative ease. Several jokes were made concerning his 'friend's' absence, but he took it like any good Peacekeeper with a sneer and air of nonchalance. It was the problem with Peacekeeper security, once you were in, movement was easier than you'd expect. Keep your eyes straight forward. Don't look guilty. He reminded himself of these things as he walked. And just don't worry about Jaina, she has the easy part.
He'd left Milliways far behind. The adrenalin he hadn't been able to summon earlier was pumping through his veins now, telling him he could do anything if he needed to. In a way it was relieving not to think about Jack, or worry about Andrei, Guppy and a number of his other friends. There was only here, now and the mission. The beginnings of pain in his arms and legs told him all he needed to know. Time to take the potion.
"Here's to success." He murmured and tipped it to his mouth. It still tasted like trat, nothing to be done about that. Slipping sideways into a corridor, he approached the officer guarding the high security door.
