Alioth- the beginning

"Whether you like it or not," Artemis was already on site, double-checking his equipment, "I'm coming with. Besides, this, 'dog', already has his own pilot gear." Initiating a voice command from within his suit, two titanium-alloy wings shot from the back of his suit. "Adjust thrust power. 37%." The small jets integrated into the wings began to heat up gradually preparing for lift. "You may not like me, but I'm simply looking out for the better of the crew." He tapped his foot on the metal flooring, testing a jet in footing at weak power. "Equipment functional. I'm all green. And Rose, maybe, I don't know, not call me, 'Artie'?"

Equipping herself with the remainder of her armour she smiled at Andrew at his comment. Looking towards Artemis put on his armour she smiled at his request. "aww but its such a cute name," she chuckled pulling her helmet over her head.

Andrew chuckles, climbing into the MK IV waiting for Rose. "Not sure what wings will do when there's no air, but ok Artie", he says as the pilot suit locks into the mech. "Rose if you will?", he says patting his lap. The mech still on one knee reached an arm out like a step for the lady.

Outside Orion grimaced in his craft. He was really hoping it wouldn't have come to this. Of course, they had prepared for this eventuality, but it was something he had been wishing to avoid. Back into the communications he calmly replied. "If any of your crew or weapons appear I will be forced to open fire."

With that, he hit a switch which slowly began to cloak his small craft. Priming two Ion missiles first. He would start with them if anyone appeared, then move on from there.

Chuckling she entered the MK IV and joined Andrew. "we'll see you on the outside of the ship Artemis." she exclaimed respecting his request to be called by his full name. "be careful out there." and with that the door to the MK IV and they opened up the air lock.

Andrew locked down the mech, it was a little tight of a fit after Rose was hooked in, but it was designed with this in mind. Walking to the open airlock, he stops when the captain yells over the intercom. "What do you want to do about this cap?", he says calmly.

The captains booming voice startled Rose and caused her to jump a little. Signalling though the window to Airtimes she opened the door to the MK IV and hopped out. "Captain whats going on?" she asked through the coms.

"Someone threatened to attack anyone who exited the ship." Rose couldn't help but notice a sigh of relieve from her captains voice. "meet me in medical with the others ensign," he ordered.

"come on guise," Rose addressed the others, "Captain wants us to meet in medical. Then the trio began to head their way over. Rose' mind exploding with questions.

"The wings help with balance and stability. Plus, it looks really cool, doesn't it?" Hearing the warning, he looked at each of them. "So I'm guessing I shouldn't unhinge my rifle until we get close to this thing, eh?" After receiving orders that they weren't allowed to exit the ship, all fun drained from his voice. "To medical we go then."

Orion listened to the request then spoke softly with a little smile on his face. "Request denied. Anything shall be fired upon." A few seconds later he added. "Why do the routine check now, anyway?" Slowly now that his fighter was fully cloaked he began manoeuvring it into a different position than when it had last shown itself. If they did open fire, which seemed unlikely as he had managed to catch them off guard then they should miss.

Ette heard people coming towards where he was. He straightened, looking over his shoulder. He could hear people talking loudly. Was something going on outside? Ette walked over to the side and asked loudly,
"Captain? Is something going on outside that I should be concerned about?"
Ette's brow furrowed slightly in worry.

Andrew powered down the MK IV, setting it into a kneeling position. He stepped out closing it behind him, walking behind Rose. "Captain let me take the MK VI out and scrap this little shit", he says with a chuckle.

The Captain addressed his crewmen. "There is an unclassified aircraft orbiting our ship and threating to attack anyone who opposes him." with a flush of anger in his voice he pointed to the man who had emurged from the pod eariler, sat in the other room oblivious to their conversation. "what if he has something to do with it?"

"captain..." Rose said calmly trying to make less of a scene. "lets see what his demands are, then we'll see what we should do."

Ette's eyes travelled towards the man. "I don't think so, Captain. He seems quite innocent. He doesn't seem to have any connections with the person outside. He keeps speaking about Hasgramordia, though. Do you have any knowledge of said area? He is unharmed, both by his word and by the scan. So, if you wish, you could always address him yourself. Should I be worried about the spaceship, Captain?"

"Captain I don't think we should be considering the demands of a ship small enough to scrape off my boot", he says reaching medical with Rose and Artie. Sitting in the wheeled stool in medical, Andrew looked annoyed removing his helmet.

The Captain turned to Ette. "check the database. If there is any connection to Hasgramordia it would be in there. As for him..." he turned to face the patient on the biobed, "i want him watched until we return to Draita Koi. Never leave him on his own understood?"
Seeing Ette nod his head he then proceeded to ask his other question. "worried? Not yet. Prepared for the unexpected, is a better way to put things."

"i understand your point Andrew, but he's threatening the lives of my crew." the captain replied blankly, "we'll see what he wants. Then we'll decide. Don't forget. we're not warriors. we're explorers."

Artemis had been sitting quiet for a bit, which is an unusual feat for him. "Let me try and talk to him." He strode to the Captain, standing and slightly bowing his head respectfully to him. "Please Captain."

"Alright, sir." Ette dipped his head lightly, smiling. "I'll leave the patient to you, sir. Please take good care of him; he seems like a nice man and I don't think he's guilty of anything."
Ette grabbed his medical bag and ran towards the database. The doors swished open and he started looking for anything about 'Hasgramordia'.

After Vincent saw Ette had taken care of the man who crashed into their ship, he headed towards the control room. It was decently sized. Vincent tested out the equipment, making sure everything was working. Vincent walked back out just to hear the others talking about the man. He walked towards them, "Captain, I think we should have some engineers repair the damages." Vincent looked at the small ship that was still stuck in Alioth. "We can't travel with that stuck there."

"That's my home system basically. There's a war going on there, and I got a mission from the governor to go out of bounds and investigate an unexplored system. That's how I got here, well, except I don't know where 'here' exactly is."

He looked to the captain who made the remark. "Hey, if he's out there because of me, I should just go out there on my own and deal with him myself. I'm a Hasgramordian, the factions practically kill each other for a living. Though, I'ed suggest actually identifying them first, to make sure they're one of the other factions of Hasgramordia before I start shooting at them. I kinda doubt it's a one of the others."
