"No, humans typically bury their dead, even their foes." She replied. "What normally happens is that a group of people tries to set up one type of government somewhere, and somewhere along the way it splits into two groups or more. They almost always end up killing one another. It's very rare for it to work out." She replied.

"Hmmm.... that seems wasteful."She said. "So I assume the android is going to be brought into custody?"Saraxx asked.

"F.I.S.T. tends to deal with matters like this on it's own first. So we'll probably interrogate it before sending it off." She replied. "I doubt the natives will want to continue negotiations for a while anyway." She adds. "..And humans aren't entirely wasteful. We've managed to survive in all kinds of places. We find ways to make things work."

"What if the droid doesn't re activate?"Saraxx asked.

"It ran out of battery, it just needs to recharge." Artemis replies as they neared the city. The aliens with the robot was already on the barge, waiting for them. "My bullet didn't manage to do any major damage, if any at all, so it should be fine."

Saraxx hopped onto the barge, eyeing Xeres suspiciously.


Oop: I got an idea for who Xere's employers are.

The barge silently brought them to their ship, where the aliens brought Xeres to the F.I.S.T. Employees. They brought him deep within the ship, as Artemis and Saraxx got on board.

"Do you think anyone from that warship will come looking for it?"Saraxx asked.

"Hopefully not." Artemis said as she pulled down her hood, handing the rifle to one of the crew members. "But if they do, we are ready." She adds. "We'll charge the robot, then interrogate it."

Saraxx nodded. "How long do you think it'll take for it to charge back up?"Saraxx asked.

"Depends, it should turn on when it has enough power. We'll keep it suspended and locked down, so it's not going anywhere. It's weapon will be removed, and it will be under constant watch." Artemis said.

Saraxx nodded, heading inside. Xeres was placed on a table, face down. "Okay, there's normally a switch or something that allows us to open the droid up."The engineer said, inspecting the War-bot. After a good few minutes he furrowed his brow. "Uh.. Captain, could you get down here? I think there's something about this mech you should see."The engineer said to Artemis over the inner comm.

Artemis blinked, normally she wasn't needed down there. She went down into the closed off area, walking over to the table with the droid. "Yes? What is it?"

"Well.... we can't get it open."The engineer said, walking over to the deactivated drone. "Normally there's a pressure point on the back of the drone that allows one to open it up and remove weapons, replace weapons, repair the drone, that kinda thing. This drone doesn't have hat pressure plate. It also doesn't have any cable ports in it that we recognize."The engineer explained. "Though we were able to take the rifle it had on it."The engineer added, indicting the Blast Rifle another engineer was holding.

Artemis thought for a moment. "Take the weapon into high importance storage, and take the non essential machinery off of the droid, peace by peace, the old fashioned way. I want it to work, but I don't want it moving around."

"Uh.... we tried that too. We think it's made to take more damage than a tank. None of our tools have been able to break his outer shell."The engineer said. "Plus, we haven't seen any tech like this before. The seems we've found are too thin for us to stick anything into. There's no screws. There's no signs of welding. No nails. No nothing."The engineer explained. "We also found some kind of odd text. It's not in any language I'e seen."The Engineer explained, indicating a stream of odd characters along the inside of the droids 'collar'.


Oop: Once Xeres re activates and is interrogated, I has a plan if you'd be interested in hearing it.

OOC: I'd be happy to hear it.

IC: Artemis held her chin for a moment. "Then have individual machines hold each of its arms and legs, I don't want this thing getting free once it re-activates."

"That we can definitely manage."The engineer said. "Go get one of those restrainer things."The Engineer ordered one of his co-workers. "And please don't kick us off for having this thing. We're technically not supposed to."The Engineer said to Artemis. After a while the co-workers returned dragging a large machien with multiple arms, clearly made for restraining aliens. "Things got the strength to pin down a rampaging Tyriv, but can hold an egg without smashing it."Engie said. "We mostly use it to hold tools."He added.

Oop: Well once Xeres is interrogated, maybe a rival group to FIST shows up, saying that Xeres was a rampant experimental war bot that hijacked an experimental vessel?

"Good. But once you get that thing restrained, work on getting it activated. Make sure it's weapon is locked up by then, and this area is locked up tight." She replies. "And no one will know about this until, and if when, I say."

Engie nodded, quickly getting to work with the machine holding Xeres. Much to the Engineer's surprise, Xeres' eyes flashed on. "Destination: Target ship" The drone let out. "Commencing in destruction."It added, trying to break free. It soon took notice of the restraints. "Why have I been restrained?"It asked.
