Eric didn’t protest he knew it wouldn’t work anyway. The look Ryan was giving him told him that. In a way he was thankful for it, but he wouldn’t admit it. Showing weakness around these guys was not an option. He couldn’t help a small chuckle when he heard the guy ask about his robot. “I thought it would come in handy too, just not right now. I figured we’d wait until we had a troubling encounter. Considering how much they want to get out of here quickly I don’t know if that will happen quite yet. Maybe when we reach outside we could use it as a decoy if anyone is out there waiting.”<br/><br/>He followed Ryan out; hand pressed against his side to help stem the bleeding. There was silence as he listened to Ryan’s words but there was a smile. An attempt at military talk, not something he heard every day from a man like Ryan. When they reached the door he paused and motioned for his robot to be brought up. He didn’t know what was out there and he didn’t want to risk any of the men.<br/><br/>When the robot was positioned he programed a set location into it and set it loose. He crouched against the wall a small smile touching his lips as he watched the robot go. In a very low voice so only those close to him could hear he muttered more to himself than them, “not as cool as the one I let rampage on the ship but still pretty fun.” Nothing happened for the first few minutes and when it reached the position he’d chosen without trouble he poked his head out slowly doing what Ryan did. Checking, double checking. It was an old habit of his as well, mainly from his street days.
