"Looks like four billion units."

He sighs. "Yes, yes. How do you want the money transferred?"

She will provide account details.

And he'll step away from the dais to handle that himself. 

- And his servant girl slowly, cautiously steps towards the still exposed Infinity Stone. 

Hm. Understandable, but incautious.

Problem: how to avert this action without rousing the notice of Tivan, who might take revenge on the girl...

Too late! Tivan can apparently notice even someone moving very slowly and quietly when his back is turned, because he turns, sharply, and calls out "Carina" in a warning tone -

Too late as well, because she lunges the rest of the way, hand clasping around the Power Stone, and as cracks build on her skin and the air fills with a heavy sensation like being inside a struck bell, she screams through gritted teeth: "I will not be your slave!"

Ah. Not good.

She tackles Gamora down behind cover.

Yes, good idea, everyone down-

Hey get off, what in the fuck-

Chewie's tentacles lash out, grabbing Rocket - and a few loose objects of interest as enormous bolts of power lash out, destroying cages and displays - and Chewie doesn't get under cover or flee, even as the pressure builds and builds and builds and threatens to explode - 

Chewie grabs the girl, Carina, and grabs the Power Stone too, wrenching them apart, releasing a massive shockwave of violet light - 

A malshapen one, though. The lightest part of the shockwave rolls nearly harmlessly over their allies' hiding place; the heaviest blasts Tivan out of sight and rips in a jagged wave through his security system. 

And then Chewie shoves both Stone and girl down their gullet, too -

- And the explosion's source cuts out. Chewie licks their lips - 

Then the tentacles come out again, depositing a slightly slimy but totally safe Rocket back out in normal space. 

Chewie grabs a few more things, too, while they're at it. 

" - What the everlasting actual fuck was that?!?!"

"An Infinity Stone. Like the man said."

She turns to look at Chewie. "Nice save. - Did that fucker finish transfering our money?"

Don't mind Chewie they're just looting while the security system is down.

"Let me check..."

...You know what? Fuck it. 

"Nines," she says, "Tivan might also have the Reality Stone here - can you find out where?"

They're going to have to move fast to escape from this with their lives. But you can't get ahead without a bit of risk. 

(The computer, miraculously enough, is still working - it's a pretty simple model under all the fancy casing; probably rad-hard and then some, given where it's situated. Even Ash's ship's computer hadn't been too happy about navigating inside a Celestial's head.)

(And it looks like Tivan did, in fact, finish paying them.)

"Sure thing." Hardened means more difficult to hack remotely, but she's got physical access so it doesn't even matter.

"Ha! Yes, we got our money."

The Reality Stone: in a vault! One even in the same building. This computer system is sensibly designed, so Nines can't just open all the doors and disable all the security from here, given the systems don't interact at all; however she's also pretty sure that most of the doors and security have been recently exploded, so. 

"Yeah, it's here. Are you going to feed it to the flerken too?"

"They're supposed to be unsafe to store together..."

"Chewie's dimensions ain't all adjacent." She tilts her head, listening. "And they say they had to shove the Stone into a pretty remote set. It's pretty much inert now but it's still giving them indigestion, so they're gonna have to cough it up eventually. They could keep two but it'd reduce the transport time, and also suck. And other flerkens might notice."
