“I don’t think it was coincidence.” He said finally. At first he’d been debating, was there a reason for him to be part of this? What was that reason? The only common thread was how many times he’d been kicked off a ship. They both had. “I don’t know for sure what the reason is but from what I do know it must have something to do with our common thread.” He looked to Ryan and nodded. “While you were gone I began to have a few doubts, but I don’t know if she’s really intentionally involved in this. I think she might just be a pawn.”<br/><br/>He let out a long breath and said, “I am starting to wonder if Murdock isn’t part of this in some way; more than just being the Captain of a ship.” He paused and thought about what he was going to say next. “I only say that because, Kat and I both have been kicked off multiple ships before ending up on Murdock’s. Our trouble didn’t start until we were partnered together and ordered, by Murdock, to come and investigate this planet. He’s put up with more than any other captain I’ve had.” He paused again but this time to catch his breath before adding. “If I were to set a robot loose to cause as much trouble as mine did on that ship, I would have been relieved of my duties and kicked out of the military. Murdock let me stay and even sent me back out into the field without so much as a slap on the wrist.”<br/><br/>So Ryan knew what he was talking about he explained in a quick and concise manner, as best he could. The details of Thomas’s escape and what had happened to him once Murdock had become involved. “And then there’s this.” He said pointing to the tablet. The code they’d been using fit in perfectly. A lot of the information that had been hidden were recovered there was still some things that were not clear but that probably took another code. “I’m starting to wonder if the code they’re trying to get from Kat has something to do with the rest of this. I don’t even think she knows what they are asking of her and if she does she’s one damn good actress.”
