[Launching systems.... ETA 2 hours 6 minutes 13 seconds]
[Systems damaged by.... unknown sources...]
[retrieving data.... none found]
[mission updated.... manual data retrieval and repair of subsystems]

2347 and a new ship has revealed itself in Mars orbit drifting for earth at a steady pace, Earths United Defense Alliance [EUDA] is worried this new debris may have vital and dangerous Intel on board but radio contact has not been established, it is not human but humanity would love to find out what it is and if the technology from said species is dangerous or not. You're transport is 17 kilos from the debris and you have visual sight, your getting a shuttle prepped when the captain stops you and hands you a data pad.
Captain: This data pad has all known information about the debris on it, use it to your advantage...
you look at the data pad, not a single word is written on it except for "None information discovered"
(note CD-407B is not the captain you are meeting)

Sam sighs, "thanks for the help Cap..." Sarcasm was the strongest weapon she had against Captain Blake Cohen, he was a skinny man but had a way of still maintaining charge. She never really liked him, he always found something wrong with her performance and she was sick of it. "Preparing the investigation shuttle of debree encounter," Sam waited, as the scraps of strange metal and what looked to be chunks of meat floated by them. "What happened to this thing?"

Stood admits the shadows of the ship, goggles covered over those strange eyes as head tilted back, observing her and the captain from a good distance. A good enough distance that the whispering thoughts of slaughtering them both was pushed aside.

When the captain asked this, Riddick smirked in amusement. Yes indeed, what had happened? No doubt the man could tell the captain all about it. But that would be the right thing to do. Right now he needed a ship, a transportation ship and this looked to good to be true. For now he simply bided his time, waiting like a ever patient predator that he was.

Captain: "all we know about it is that it is headed for earth and we must find out if it is dangerous or not, if it is then we'll let the military handle it, not like we have any fire power to deal with it" The captain then got out of the hangar and the shuttle launched. having several minutes been after the launch the ship still seems ever distant. the ETA on the shuttles screen says 20 minutes out. You along with whomever is still on the shuttle are sitting back prepping for a boarding action, however you get the strange feeling no action will need to be taken once aboard

Piloting the small shuttle catiously Sam looked around, the debree looked odd, like it was meant to be there, almost like it had always been there. Focusing intently Sam didn't notice the figure slip into the small investigation shuttle with her and was completely unarmed other then a belt of space construction tools.

Tilted his head to the side as he heard the Captains response, remaining tucked and embraced against the wall, in the shadows. In the dark. Goggles were covering those usually detectable eyes in the dark. Tan muscular figure stood at 6 foot even and www covered in simple attire, black pants, black steel toe boots, and a black tank.

Head tilted to the side as he eyes Samantha and the Captain, relaxed as always but remaining silent.

"No point."

Finally his gravely rumbling voice came out, shifting to move elsewhere as soon as those two words came out, still wanting to be undetected for unknown reasons to the two strangers. Richard? Wanted convict, he merely wanted a ride but they wanted to prod on a ghost town?
