Hawkins eases his finger off of the trigger, but remains pointing his pistol at Claudia. "Assassin. We find ourselves in an unknown situation on a remote planet far in space. It would be months before any backup can be delivered to our location and our pilot and ship may have just been irreparably damaged. I will ask you two questions. One, having gotten here, you must have an escape plan. Where is your space craft? And secondly... can I expect anything other than hostility from you? Are you capable of aiding us, and thereby aiding yourself? I will not lie to you, for assault you will be sent to High Command to be put on trial should you cooperate with us, but if you do I will speak on your behalf. Depending on the trial, you may even get away with rehabilitation, community service, or a short prison sentence."

"Compare that to what will happen if you step out of line one more time while we are doing our job. Namely... your immediate death. The choice is an obvious one, if you allow yourself to see it."

Back with Bright and the team, as they get near the door to Central Operations a beeping begins to emit from their motion trackers. Bright stiffens, glancing down at the screen and nodding. The reading it was giving off was unmistakable. There was someone in Cent Ops.

Bright: "Alright people... standard insertion. Ren'ark and Coleman on point, I'll take the center. Smith, you stay behind and watch our backs... and Blade, you stick with Smith and try not to get shot."

Blade: "Thats a big affirmative, sarge."

Bright: "On three... One... two... three!"

((Basically the maneuver is as follows, for clarification. Bendack and Stryker open the door and rush into the doorway, Bendack sweeping the field of vision to the right, Stryker the field of vision to the left. Bright will come up the middle, so they have the whole room covered moments after breaching the door. Chris is the reserve and rear guard. Sorry Chris... someone has to watch the Pilot XD))

Claudia looked up at them for a long moment in silence, and then lifted her arms out to her sides, the palms of her gloves facing out, fingers spread, using the strength of her thighs to lift herself off her knees, onto her toes, and then rose up to her feet, "Yeah, I've got a ship, but it's only got one seat. You could probably stand three or four in the back, but that's gonna be a bumpy ride. As for where it is.... well, if I told you that, what's to stop you killing me once your pilot if found?".

She drew a deep breath, shaking her head slightly to clear the rain from her eyelashes, and then looked Paula in the eye, her grin returning as she then shifted her focus to Hawkins, "I don't have much of a choice, do I? Am I going to get the weapon back?", she asked, motioning towards the shotgun she'd taken from the dropship. "I'm not going to much help without one, am I?".

[Haylie]

Paladin returned the glance with a glare, still holding her now-soaked pistol on Claudia, aimed at her chest. She's obviously not happy about this little team-up idea, but she isn't going to argue over it.

[Evra]

thats fine lol =P ))

Chris nods and stands facing the opposite direction of the two that are breaching the door as he gets on one knee aiming his gun down the hallway

[Brnin8r]

Bendak smiled underneath his helmet as he followed orders, crouching and readying his weapon as the door remained shut. Once the door was open (whether it be kicked open or pneumatically opened or...whatnot) Bendak was off to the right in a flash, sweeping his gun and quickly taking in the new room.

[Knight Errant]

Hawkins: "Nothing. But nothing is stopping us from killing you now. It has just been decided you could help us during this situation. You need to decide. Aid us unquestioningly, or die. I have already told you that you will be taken back and tried if you help."

"But that is beside the point. We arent going anywhere yet, we still have a job to do. Find out what went on here, and resolve it. Once this is done we can shuttle our people to the Hyperion. So... back into the dropship. We will wait for Bright to radio the situation. Once he has central operations secured, we can move in, set up, then go looking for our lost pilot."

((Okay, I will assume Stryker rushed in!))

They soon take in the room! Racks and racks of computer equipment clutter the area, off to the left is a door to the medlab, to the right another door. Straight ahead is the main computer and observation station. Sitting at it is an odd blue skinned woman in power armor. ((Without the cannons, at least for now )) She looks up, blinking at them.

Bright: "What the hell..." He points his rifle at her. "Dont move! We are from the Earth Space Force!"

She raises her hands in a gesture of submission. But she looks more curious than afraid. And there is another look on her face... is it... eagerness?

Blade peeks over their shoulders. "Whoa... first contact. And its with hot blue skinned alien chicks. I KNEW the Sci Fi shows didnt lie to us." He taps Bright's shoulder. "Sir, I'm pretty sure you dont want to start an interstellar war or something."

[Harri-chan]

Claudia was silent for a long moment, looking across at Paula, and then nodded, "I'll play along", she mumured before smirking at the other female, and then turned to look around the spaceport, "I need a gun... ", she said, and began to walk ahead of them, returning to the dropship, and helped herself to a rifle. "What was that thing? You here to kill it, or capture it?".

[Haylie]

Paula seems to relax when Claudia "agreed" to help. She drew her own rifle from her back, set it to her shoulder, tested its sights, then resumed her head-pivoting. Water flicked from her ponytail when she turned her head particularly quickly.

"Neither. We have no idea what that was. We came here to investigate this port, and why communications were lost. Now I think we know why, though."

[Evra]

chris stood at his post guarding the rear as be backs into the room as they all rush in scanning the hallway as he gets into the doorway he speaks "sir should i close the door?"

[Brnin8r]

After making sure there were no other dangerous-looking objects or more blue-skinned aliens, his rifle was immediately aimed at the girl's head. He didn't do the talking, but if she did anything drastic he'd be the one shooting. "Sir, just give me the order..." he stated, allowing Bright to know how ready he was.

"We are here to discover the source of the disturbance, and rectify it. We may just have discovered the source." He goes to his mic. "Bright... be known we have an unknown presence of humanoids on this colony. They have abducted our pilot. They seem hostile."

Bright: "Do so."

He didn't do the talking, but if she did anything drastic he'd be the one shooting. "Sir, just give me the order..." he stated, allowing Bright to know how ready he was.

Bright pauses, listening to the radio. "We seem to have a situation... one of them has captured Razor."

Blade's eyes go wide at this. "Sir... what? They... where is she?"

Bright: "Stow it... we have bigger things to focus on at the moment, pilot."

He looks back to the woman, who has been curiously looking at them. As if listening to their conversation. "Capture her... perhaps we can arrange a exchange." He looks to Bendack. "You wanted an order... go on and take her into custody. We will cover you."

[Harri-chan]

She listened to their explanation, nodding her head, before looking down at her rifle, "The name's Claudia...", she muttered, and met Paula's gaze once more. "I figured since I know who you are, you should know who I am". She was shivering a little, from the rain that had seeped into her battered armour and soaked the clothing beneath, but she turned and walked back down the ramp, into the rain again, "Well? Let's go find her"

[Evra]

chris nods and shuts the door to the room locking it as he turns around getting his first look at the blue woman "mhmm wierd ..."

"Ah!" Paula grabs Claudia's shoulder to stop her and pull her back a bit, in such a way that they end up face-to-face again. "Remember who's in charge. You follow us. Got it?"

[Harri-chan]

Her wet brown curls flicked around her as she spun around by the tug on her shoulder, and for a moment, that dangerous glint passed through her dark brown eyes as she stared at Paula, "Just trying to hurry things along... ", she muttered, but shrugged her shoulders. She stood there, inches infront of Paula, being awkward, trying to make the other girl walk around her for insisting they led the way.
