Sighing to herself Kiadan rolls her eyes. "Continue your work while I am gone," Kiadan says. "I will fully be going over your work to critique your ideas." And with that she begins moving at the full speed her small compact body is capable of, lighting the way like a brilliant glowing glitter bug as she flies towards the command deck.
Arriving on the command deck she settles down lightly on a railing looking at the captain. "Why have you called me away from the research I must begin?" She asks in an impatient voice before staring at the screen. "Extraordinary... I have long envisioned finding a being who could withstand the effects of space..." she says in an excited tone.

" Of course Ambassabor," Balus nodded, " I'll do what I can, provided I'm not needed elsewhere. hopefully there is nothing to watch out for."

"The Major's abilities are...various. But you can ask him for any data after this mission is completed, Doctor." The Captain states calmly. "I have two matters requiring your assistance. The first is that, as you've decoded the transmitted data, I would like your technical opinion: Do any of these designs indicate that Seeronian technology was used instead of Tarlok? The second matter is that we are having a power routing issue with one of our weapon systems. Your assistance in these matters is, of course, appreciated."
(Balus and Solaxis)
Solaxis and Von are taken to the front of the shuttle, while Balus and the soldiers remain in the airlock. As you pull away, you all become weightless.
The Sargeant points to a green light above the external hatch. "When that goes red, it's our signal to step out and provide cover for the shuttle, and to inspect the pod where the science geeks are. Slycer, you're first out, followed by the kid"

" Man, can't I have a better babysitter than this?" Balus smirked while speaking lowly so only Slycer could hear him

(Kiadan) "The Major's abilities are...various. But you can ask him for any data after this mission is completed, Doctor." The Captain states calmly. "I have two matters requiring your assistance.

The second matter is that we are having a power routing issue with one of our weapon systems. Your assistance in these matters is, of course, appreciated." Kiadan’s eyes alight and change from the normal yellow to a bright white for several seconds and her features become almost slack, to those sitting or standing close enough they can hear Kiadan humming quietly to herself in various pitches. Her eyes darken back to yellow and she fixes the captain with a fixed gaze. “It is my deduction based upon all the facts that have been given to me that this is a product of Tarlok, though my calculations are not completely correct based on the limited data. Heavily modified by the Tarlok for certain,” she says in as close to a voice filled with doubt. “I detect about a 90% chance for my scientific guess to be correct.” Turning from that matter she moves to the weapons panels and begins to look at them her eyes flashing from yellow to bright white as she works, and occasionally her body emits tiny beams of light as her fingers work furiously over the command keys. “Oh so simple,” she says with a smile. “Take this trace that back to… calibrate… no…” she tilts her head for a second. “Yes… recalibrate to 1/16th nano clicks… and…” she stops. “I believe I have improved upon your weapons.” Basic Math: 18% of 98% Advanced Math: 24% of 98% Computer Operation: 08% of 79% Chemistry: 28% of 69% Chemistry Analytical: 16% of 74% Computer Programming: 41% of 64% Mechanical Engineering 49% of 49% Basic Electronics: 17% of 59% Electrical Engineering: 07% of 40% Alien Technology Mechanics:58% of 64% Spacecraft Mechanics: 53% of 54% General Repair & Maintenance: 01% of 69% Jury Rig: 45% of 44% ((ooc: Rolled on the left, on the right actual skill rank)) |

(Balus)
Slycer chuckles "heh, I don't look at it as having to babysit. I look at it as getting a nice big cover" The other troopers laugh as the shuttle pulls out.
(Solaxis)
Solaxis and Von are seated directly behind the flightcrew as the shuttle takes off. You speed away from the ship, and move through the void. From a distance, you can see the world of Dilm spin out, cold and alone. Solaxis, your supersight allows you to see a large shipyards, like the one on Seeron, in the distance. You can also pick out a large capsule aproximately halfway between where you are and the Tarlok Shipyards.
(Kiadan)
The Captain looks at the Fire Control officer, who simply states. "Main Cannon calibrated and on standby."
The Captain nods. "begin warm up cycle. Thank you Dr. Kiadan. You may wish to observe the operation."

"there" Solaxis points out the capsule to the flight crew. "something isn't right. this is all too easy. hold position and wait for further instruction. I'm going out to have a closer look" Solaxis gets up and makes his way toward the air lock and the openness of space. truth was, he was uncomfortable inside these vessels and constructs, but he still suspected there might be more than meets the eye. before departing the ship, he cloaks himself with a light bubble to refract light around him making himself invisible to all visual methods of detection, then flies out and scans the surrounding area looking for any odd energy patterns (IR, UV, X-ray might penetrate a cloaking field?).

Balus watched as the ambassador exited the ship wide eyed. Then Slycer's words sunk in and he grinned," Ah, so you plan to hide behind me. I get it. No problem "

"Very well," She says perching upon the back of one of the seats. With a detached eye she views the world around her in calm. Her eyes however flash left and right watching everything happening around her.

(Kiadan)
The command deck buzzes with activity as officers speak into their headsets and the captain surveys the scene cautiously. You can see that they are all very professional, discipline, and even a bit excited.
(Solaxis)
Too small to see from the distance you were at, you can now make out the telltale signs of Tarlok troops in armor hiding amongst the asteroids.
(Balus)
Slycer. "Wonder what the Bhlaze is up to. You seem familiar with him kid, any ideas?"

Solaxis immediately flies back to the shuttle, still cloaked and relays the information about the ambush to the flight crew. "notify the Captain, but if we delay too long, we'll have tipped our hand. they could also have the scientist's escape pod booby-trapped, so I would advise caution. the whole thing could be a trap. if you decide to engage them directly, I can use the distraction as cover to get a closer look at the pod."

" i have no idea. I only met the ambassador when the general said I was going to be assigned aboard ship." Balus replied with a shrug. " I'm guessing he was a little cramped in here with the rest of us."

Kiadan's eyes seem to wander the deck as she watches silently observing from her perch on the back of a chair. Her eyes occasionally wander over the console she's sitting by to see what that particular solider(Drone) is doing.

(All)
The Captain speaks over the com. "Major Trokyr, you will take the ambassador and the assault team and attack the enemy positions once the signal is given. Ambassador, see to the pod to determine if our scientist are alive and if the pod is boobytrapped. You will have close support from our fighter wing. Standby and wait for our signal."
(Kiadan)
The captain ends transmission. "Bring Main Gun to active, Open fighter bays and bring Dart Squadron to Alert Status. FCO, give me a firing solution on the shipyards."
The command deck becomes a flurry of activity and shouting that even Kiadan has a hard time keeping track of. Among the snippets she catches.
"Payload in chamber!"
"Power to Driver at 90%."
"Firing Solution"
"Squad is Hot and locked on the Deck"
"Projection is a 87% kill"
The shouting dies down. The captain surveys the deck, then looks over the Fire Control Officer. "Fire"
(All Again)
There's a flash in front of you a scant few minutes later. The Tarlok shipyards in the distance explodes in a white flash. The Tarlok troopers clinging to the rocks near the pod move out...and you can see their motions.
