The moment Eric had spoken up Kat and Ryan both had looked at him with anticipation as if they knew what he was about to say. Kat really didnâ€™t blame him for his little outburst, she was actually glad he had something to keep himself occupied, and it really did not surprise her either. After seeing him mess around with a few things while they were chasing Thomas around in the sublevels of the ship she had gotten the feeling that he was more of a technical person who loved this sort of stuff. She could do a few things here and there if it was simple but that was it. When it came down to it she was almost completely useless in the area of cracking codes. They were getting somewhere now, and she gave a small nod of approval towards Eric and then focused on the tablet.<br/><br/>â€œNice work, that was pretty fast,â€ she complimented flashing a smile that said she wouldnâ€™t have expected any less from Eric. â€œI just hope this is worthwhile and not a waste of time.â€ She had partly glanced at Ryan when she said that, still having some doubts. Despite those doubts she was also a little curious about what kind of information might be there. Whatever secrets were hidden on that tablet would soon be on display for the three of them to see. Assuming that any of it was useful, she reminded herself.  She could see the various encryptions and ciphers on the small screen. Though she didnâ€™t really know what any of it meant, she wondered if there was something she could do to help. She thought back to her days in the Gendahl fleet but nothing was coming to mind that would be useful.<br/><br/>Ryan had been pulling more things out of the bag. A few more tablets filled with information and some written files shoved in folders were placed on the table which Kat had grabbed to look through. While he watched Eric played around with the tablet that was in his hands he said, â€œI have plenty more old ciphers here for you to crack once youâ€™ve finished with that one, dear Eric.â€  He was pleased to see he was having fun as much as Kat was.<br/><br/>â€œFrom what Iâ€™m seeing here in the written files, the information is completely useless. There really isnâ€™t much here that will help us with whatâ€™s going on.â€<br/><br/>â€œI wouldnâ€™t lose faith just yet. Why do you think that I brought everything you see here? Iâ€™m sure everything you really want to find will be crammed into those electronics.â€<br/><br/>â€œWhere are those files mentioning Thomas?â€ Kat watched as Ryan gestured towards the table, which was now almost covered in electronic stuff that Ryan had brought in that bag. There seemed to be a lot of stuff in that bag and she really couldnâ€™t help but wonder how he managed to fit everything in there. Instead of asking she just kept looking through what she could to at least lend a hand. This was a lot to look through after all.  It wouldnâ€™t be right to leave Eric with all of the work, it didnâ€™t matter if most of it was electronic, she was going to do what she could to the best of her ability, and this was something for which they absolutely needed to work together. Just like that what had happened the other day was completely forgotten and she grabbed another folder, proceeding to flip through it.<br/><br/>Determined to find something that would prove her wrong, she looked to see if there was anything at all that would help them. Namely anything she could find on Thomas. Unfortunately some of it appeared to be stuff the three of them already knew. Only a few things caught her eye, which she laid aside on a neat pile in the corner for them to go over later.<br/><br/>She had a feeling it was going to take the remainder of the day to sort through everything, and they have barely scratched the surface.
