Eric winced and laughed nervously. â€œWell, Kat and I may have snuck out of our rooms after recovering from med bayâ€¦â€ he paused and tried to come up with something that didnâ€™t sound like they had completely gone awal but nothing came to mind so he said, â€œwell there was Thomas, he had escaped after killing a few guards. Kat and I had wanted toâ€¦talk to himâ€¦so we went to find him in the bowels of the ship.â€ Eric recounted the tale in as much detail as he could but it was both a lot of fun and something he would never do again because he was positive if he did Murdock would not be as forgiving.<br/><br/>â€œKat is doing alright but she does push herself to much.â€ He frowned a moment and sighed, â€œI donâ€™t know about her emotional state for sure. I think she is still a bit upset but she doesnâ€™t always confide in me. I think she doesnâ€™t always confide in people at all. Those two were close once, at least thatâ€™s what I gleaned from her.â€ When it got to the end of his story he paused again and looked to Ryan. â€œDid you know the captain had trained Riddick? I only ask because that is what Kat and I had overheard the captain say to Thomas before the man was no more.â€<br/><br/>Smiling Eric said, â€œno itâ€™s alright, since there really isnâ€™t anyone close by that can hear I donâ€™t think it is a problem to say anything. Besides I do the same thing, it is annoying to not know the answerâ€¦it is the reason I get into trouble actually. This was proven by this storyâ€¦I think.â€ He said chuckling a bit. Turning his attention to the place Ryan gestured to he smiled widely. â€œI love this place, it has some of the best â€˜friesâ€™ Iâ€™ve ever tasted.â€ He said following Ryan toward it.<br/><br/>â€œIt is no problem, I like paying. It makes me feel like in contributing something, no matter how small it would seem. I also am a bit uncomfortable with other people paying for me. It is a bad habit from the old days, we never knew what someone might do to the food.â€ He said letting the sentence trail off. Standing next to the till he ordered his own food and waited for Ryan to order what he wanted before choosing a place to sit. Feeling himself revert a bit he found a place somewhere close to a wall and put his back to it so he could see what was going on around him. He didnâ€™t really realize what he was doing, he just did it.<br/><br/>-----------------------------------<br/><br/>Murdock watched the two of them through a camera for a moment until someone knocked at his door. â€œEnter.â€ He barked a bit irritated. Those damned cyborgs, did they have to go that way? When the person walked in he glowered at them and mentally kicked himself for it. There was no reason for him to take his anger out on this person. â€œYes.â€ He said putting on a smile.<br/><br/>The private walked up to his desk and saluted before dropping a packet on his desk. He looked at it in confusion until he saw the look of terror on the privateâ€™s face. It was enough for him to salute back and quickly dismiss them. Opening the packet he felt it slip from his fingers. â€œIt canâ€™t be.â€ He muttered under his breath. Turning his attention to the phone at the side of his desk he pushed a button and called for someone to send for Kat, Ryan, and Eric. They would be needed. It seemed Ryanâ€™s planet was going to be invaded by some very unhappy soldiers. He would do what he can from his end but those three would have to do something on the ground, work some sort of magic or it was going to end in nothing but blood.
