With a nod she did what she was told before they were on their way once the coast was clear. Kat winced slightly and placed a hand on Ericâ€™s shoulder for support while he lead, discovering she was still a bit sore, but she managed to keep the thought of pain out of her mind for now. There wasnâ€™t anyone around it seemed but she was still slightly on edge since it has been awhile since she has gone against captains orders or snooped around in general. Her heart was still pounding in her chest from both the suspense of what was going on and the worry of losing her job if they were caught but she had faith in Eric. He has helped her out of what was probably the toughest situation she had been placed in, if not close to it, and he has stated that he trusted her. In return she would trust him to not get them caught and she would follow his instructions carefully while his robots caused a ruckus.<br/><br/>She let him go once they reached a safer distance and the robots caught the full attention of everyone on this deck. This would also mean the captain as well eventually but hopefully they would be well hidden before then. She could have sworn someone was looking their way but didnâ€™t think much of it. Again, she had faith in Eric as he has proven to be trustworthy and definitely knew his stuff when it came down to it. If needed, thinking back to her training as more memories from her past came to her, she could also incapacitate someone without causing much harm other than some nasty bruises that would take a few days to heal at most. Hopefully that would be avoided, however, as that was not one of her more enjoyable memories at all. She would rather forget it in any other situation but for now she allowed it to linger.<br/><br/>When he mentioned to use the device, she did so. Every bit of her assumed that it did something to the cameras to give a clear picture instead of showing them passing as they headed towards the elevator to head to the sublevels. The last thing they needed was security on their ass. Once more she found herself impressed with Ericâ€™s work and wondered just how long it took for him to come up with all of this; if he was pulling this out of his ass she was most definitely amazed. As clever as she could be at times she could never pull something like this.<br/><br/>She has been on this ship for a good few months to a year now and she had to say that she has only ever been down in the sublevels a few times. It was mostly to grab some things like weapons or ammunitions or aid in a supply check or something else the captain might have ordered at the time. It was nothing she wasnâ€™t use to but she never really did like it down here so she never really cared to get to know all the little nooks and crannies Eric obviously knew. What probably unnerved her most was usually how quiet it was and how intimidating some things could seem due to the lack of lighting, which she assumed was the result of more budget cutting. They were always cutting budgets on not only this ship but the fleet as well; and it wasnâ€™t just this fleet. Everyone was suffering. It was something she has seen over the past few years of her career.<br/><br/>Kat stayed close to Eric while they continued to move around, unable to shake the feeling that the silence here was unsettling. Like they were about to wander into something they shouldnâ€™t. That could be because she knew they shouldnâ€™t be here but at the same time something was justâ€¦ offâ€¦<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/>â€œIâ€™m hungry.â€<br/><br/>â€œShut it, pest.â€<br/><br/>â€œOh, thatâ€™s mean, couldnâ€™t you at least give me a bottle of water? I'm rather parched as well.â€<br/><br/>â€œI said shut it.â€ The look on the manâ€™s face made Thomas smile. Heâ€™s been driving them crazy all night since he had been captured and it amused him. He loved when he drove people mad. These people had been a lot easier to crawl under their skin than some of the others and he enjoyed every minute of it. He opened his mouth to speak again but the man guarding him to make sure that he didnâ€™t escape (even though his hands were still tied behind his back) aimed his rifle at him again. â€œNot another word from you, understood? Iâ€™m sick of hearing your voice.â€<br/><br/>â€œThen shoot me.â€ Thomas dared. When the man was silent, he continued, â€œOh but I know for a fact you wonâ€™t. Your beloved captain wants me alive, right? Figures. The only man who wouldnâ€™t have thought twice about turning me into confetti is out of the pictureâ€¦ I was more afraid of him than any of you worthless cowards.â€<br/><br/>The man wasnâ€™t amused, sighed, and turned away. That was a big mistake on his part. While he had been distracting the man by rambling on about practically nothing Thomas had been using a small knife he kept hidden in his sleeve to cut away the rope that bound him. Damn that bastard Ryan, he always had his men tie rope as tight as possible and it was itchy as hell, probably left some marks, too. Once he finally freed himself from said rope, he quietly came up behind the guard and slit his throat. â€œLike I said, worthless coward. Dumbass didnâ€™t even see that coming; they must not train them like they use to.â€ He chuckled.<br/><br/>Now all he had to do was find out where he was on this ship and get out of here, but not without leaving a message for a few people firstâ€¦
