“Murdock?” Ryan arched a brow, letting out a soft chuckle with a puzzled look on his face. The idea of Murdock having a hand in what was going on was surprising. To be honest, he really wasn’t sure what to think about it. He has known him for a long time and always considered him an ally even though they hardly spoke and were on opposite sides of the law. Then again, the more Eric spoke, the more things seemed to slowly begin to make more sense. “Actually… you might be onto something here, dear Eric. Murdock has always been someone who seemed more than meets the eye.” His disbelief that Murdock might not be just a captain faded quickly. Murdock did put up with a lot, and even allowed a criminal like him on his ship. In fact, he had allowed a lot of his behavior to slide in general.<br/><br/>If it had been any other ship, or captain, Ryan would have been arrested by that ship’s crew and probably killed by their captain without a second thought. Perhaps he did have a part in this after all. The question was: what? Why was he dragged into this? Was it because of his association with Thomas? He didn’t want to think about it too much. The more he thought about it, the more questions he had for this whole thing. It was enough to make his head hurt.<br/><br/>“That is a little odd.” He continued, leaning forward a little, resting his chin on the back of his hand, unsure of how else to respond. When the tablet was pointed out, he glanced at it for a good while. There was a lot to take in and he wanted to make sure he was making all the right moves here. It was big to accuse a captain of something. He knew that it wasn’t exactly common for stuff like this to happen; only a few cases were known, and he was curious. Unfortunately, as much as he hated to admit it, Kat was probably better at discussing this than he was. “I’m sure once we go in and rescue Kat, we can all sit down and really get to the bottom of this.” She was simply more experienced. It was probably obvious by now, but at least he was doing what he could to help.<br/><br/>Ryan sighed heavily, “I doubt we’ll get anywhere without that other code.” That much was obvious. They needed that code, and he was also a little curious as to why Kat had not mentioned it before. “If she has been quiet about it, assuming that she does have it, I’m willing to bet it’s something pretty big.” He was about to say that he and Eric should head out and go see if they could rescue Kat, when suddenly his men came back with everything Eric would need to build some robots. He told them to just place it close to Eric. Once the men were out of the room, Ryan looked to Eric with a bit of a smile on his face. “So, how long do you think it will take you to assemble everything?” He was hoping it wouldn’t take too long and that Eric was well enough to do it. The quicker they rescued Kat, the better.
