Ryan gave a nod of agreement at Ericâ€™s words, â€œI couldnâ€™t agree more.â€ He sank back in the seat a little more, pushing what remained of his food away from him. When he was nudged he couldnâ€™t help but smile somewhat half-heartedly. â€œI suppose youâ€™re right,â€ he chuckled softly, â€œbut in all seriousness, protocol or no, I will do what I can for you two.â€ He understood why protocol wasnâ€™t really something they all should keep in mind. If he were in Murdockâ€™s shoes he would do whatever it took to stop this madness even if it meant breaking a few rules. â€œI donâ€™t mind breaking rules as long as it helps keep you out of trouble.â€ He leaned in a little closer to Ericâ€™s ear, speaking in a whisper so only he could hear. â€œSomething tells me Kat wouldnâ€™t have any problems breaking a few rules either.â€<br/><br/>When the cyborgs came with their things Kat and Ryan took their respective bags. Ryan wasted no time looking through to make sure everything was there even if the cyborg had reassured them, it was a habit of his, he just want to be sure. Never really hurts to double check things, does it? He gave a satisfied nod when the cyborgâ€™s left.<br/><br/>â€œThis is one of those times where I have a feeling weâ€™re going to need all the luck we can get,â€ Kat said as the cyborgs left and they were finally on their way. In the back of her mind she had a slight feeling that wouldnâ€™t be the last time she saw them but made no comment towards them. She looked through her bag, surprised that everything was still there, gun included, and slipped her weapons back onto her person. Being armed felt good especially when diving into a situation like this where they were going to need everything they had and more just to get by. She was determined not only to not let Eric or the captain down but the entire fleet as a whole. They were depending on the three of them after all.<br/><br/>â€œI second that,â€ Ryan commented. He took his attention away from Eric to meet Katâ€™s gaze. â€œWhatever the hell is going on, this wonâ€™t get sorted out over night.â€<br/><br/>â€œWe will do what we can. Letâ€™s just hope itâ€™s enough, itâ€™s really all we can do on our end.â€<br/><br/>Gendahl fleet were not just crazy for doing something like this, they were bat shit insane, they really had gone off the deep end this time. They always been a pretty violent and intense lot, both Kat and Ryan remember clearly just how strict they were compared to other fleets, they were probably the most by the book, but this was just too much even for them. Part of Kat wanted to say that once they got there it would not be as bad as it seemed, but unfortunately that was not the case. Knowing the Gendahl fleet this situation really was every bit as bad as everyone thought and she expected there to be a lot of blood spilled. From what Eric had showed they have yet to make a move, but she knew that if they were displeased in any way they wouldnâ€™t hesitate to launch an attack.<br/><br/>Sometime later their shuttle arrived at their destination. Immediately upon their arrival they were informed that the entire planet was under Martial Law and that several authorities from this planetâ€™s military as well as someone from Earth wished to speak with them about the situation. At the shuttle station, it was pretty chaotic and people had crowded around the only screen in the station to see what was going on in the news broadcast. There were security forces all over the place, making sure that the disgruntled crowd did not escalate into an angry mob. Many flights have been canceled which only added to the number of people; only emergency interplanetary flights and military flights were allowed to come and go freely. The overall atmosphere was heavy with tension, which could be felt as soon as they stepped out of the shuttle and were ushered to where they needed to go.<br/><br/>They were taken to what looked to be a waiting room. Kat found that the atmosphere in here was not any better than it had been out there. The woman that had escorted curtly informed them it was going to be at least a fifteen minute wait, which didnâ€™t really seem prudent but she understood. It was all hands on deck right now and everyone had their hands tied with something.<br/><br/>â€œLast time I had spoken to them, before I had been summoned by Murdock, they werenâ€™t reasonable. Iâ€™ll bet their attitude has changed now.â€ Ryan shrugged, folding his arms across his chest as he leaned against the wall. It was pretty obvious he hasnâ€™t changed his mind about not wanting to be here.
