Cmpuncle:<br/>The device comes to life, displaying the stations AI, Cali.  "Hey. The communications relay was damaged in the recent battle so I had to resort to these unorthodox methods. I was hoping we might be able to debrief you on what happened yesterday. The sooner the better. "<br/>------------------------------<br/>Undercover:<br/>The womans tone changes, ever so slightly. "Good. Be warned, my gun has a silencer. Should you try anything funny or try to call for help, I will shoot you, and no one will come running. You're going to put on your clothes, SLOWLY. Before you put on anything though, you will show it to me, so I know there are no concealed weapons. You will empty out any pockets and kick the items away from you. Now throw the towel over there. I hate to do this to you, honestly I do, cooperate with me and this will all be over soon. Do it now."<br/>---------------------------------<br/>DigitlNinja:<br/>Cali returns her attention to Ty. "You're welcome.  Also, when he wakes up, I'd like to speak with him. I may have a mission for him, if he's interested in making a bit of money."<br/>--------------------------------<br/>Cherise and Silas enter the hangar, unimpeded. Two mechs stand awaiting an able pilot on the ground level.  One mech was obviously a two seater, and the other for a single occupant.  "I like the looks of the big one," Silas comments. Cherise grins, "Ooh. I call co-pilot seat with you!"<br/>The two of them run down the catwalk to the open cockpit and jump inside, closing the hatch and initiating the startup sequence. [ Can you guys read me?]<br/>"Loud and clear Captain."<br/>[ Good. I'm opening the hangar bay doors. Prepare for anything. I'll be down shortly to claim the other mech. Sending telemetry to the mechs...now. Out ]<br/>Sure enough, the doors opened, revealing an air-tight field keeping the atmosphere within the hangar and the cold wastes of space out.  Navigational data began scrolling across Cherise' console.  "Looks like all we have to worry about are the Asteroids."<br/>Silas shook his head, 'no, that would be too easy. More likely, they're using the asteroids to masque their signatures, As soon as we exit, they'll ambush us. Bring all weapons online, and set the shields to 50%. "<br/>"This mech doesn't have shields Silas."<br/>"What? Well whatever, shields are for novices that can't dodge. "<br/><br/>Renault enters the hangar bay, but the hangar bay doors begin to close just as he enters the cockpit of the other mech. [Get out there. I'll blast my way out if I have to. ]<br/>"But Captain!"<br/>"Roger that. See you on the other side Renault."<br/>[Back at ya Silas. Thanks again for the assist. When we get back to the gifthorse, the drinks are on me. ]<br/>"Silas?!"<br/>Silas resolutely engages the mechs thrusters and blasts through the still open doors seconds before they fully close. As expected, the mech is immediately pounded by enemy fire.<br/>
