Damen held onto the bulkhead with one hand while he listened to the pilots as they tried to land the shuttle on the Liege.  He glanced around the cramped aft section of the shuttle at the other four scientists who had been crammed into the shuttle with their research. They all looked pale and kept glancing out the front of the ship at the battle outside. Not that it did any good, the more they looked outside the more fearful they became. Damen glanced outside and just got pissed he had been stuck on that dam planet for too long. He had gone for a simple job and now his life depended on the pilots. They had all been told that there would be no prisoners taken. It had taken some time for that charming piece of information to sink in for most of the staff, even Damen had to think about it for a minute as he shoved another container into the already dangerously filled shuttle but he realized the truth in the words before most. If he had not been spending time with the soldiers that were stationed on the planet in the last few times he knew it would have taken him just as long to realize what the statement had meant.<br/><br/>His attention was snapped back to the present when he heard the front canopy of the shuttle shatter then a split second later a pressure door slammed shut between the cock pick and the aft section. It had gotten hard to breath all of a sudden and it was then that everyone realized what had happened but while the other three people in the back with him were starting to panic Damen let go of his hold on the bulkhead and found the controls near the door.  A minute later the cabin was re-pressurized and everyone had started to settle down since they had figured out that at least one of the pilots where alive and then the sound of metal pinging off the hull stopped. A split second later the ships slammed into the deck of the Liege’s hanger and Damen was thrown back against the bulk head. When he was able to suck in a breath the shuttles door opened and they were ordered out of the ship.<br/><br/>Damen scrambled out of the ship quickly followed by the other three scientists. He looked behind him and saw their pilot being carried away on a stretcher. As the man was carried by Damen caught the man’s eye and was about to thank him when he was shoved out of the way and pushed out of the hanger bay to make room for the next ships trying to dock. “What the hell?” Damen started to turn around and face the man who had pushed him but a sharp order to keep moving made him stop and reconsider that move. They had made it into what Damen assumed was a lounge judging by the cards scattered on the floor and the shattered glasses. Once they were inside the marine that had escorted them left them in the room with a few other people and two marines guarding the closed door. He had just sat down when the ship jumped and he was thrown from the chair and into a pile of broken bottles. When he pulled himself up into a sitting position he tried to figure out what was going on, a ships jump was never this rough and he didn’t think a missile hit on the ship would cause so sound and turbulence without destroying the Liege.<br/><br/>When things had calmed down everyone was quite for a few minutes as Damen pulled out a few pices of glass that had been forced into his cheek and neck when he hit the deck. He was about to bring out his hud and activate the nanites that were lying dormant under his skin when the door opened and the guard that had taken them to this room game back in. “You four ,” he pointed out Damen and the other three scientists. “Your needed on the bridge.” His cuts forgotten for the moment Damen stood and followed the guard as he left the room. He had to stick close to the man as they made their way through the chaotic corridors of the ship. When they got to the bridge Damen walked through the door not sure why he was there. Spotting the main display he main his way over to it and started to study it not looking at the Captain as his curiosity took over his mind. He wanted to know how bad the ship and been damaged and if he could figure out what had made the horrible noise and jolt before someone told him. He absent mindedly wiped blood off his lips with the back of his sleeve as he frowned not seeing anything that could answer his question yet.<br/>
