(just to say we're in the traveller atm but don't worry. :3)

"Ok Artemis, just don't agitate the man." he replied to Arties request. They both began to make their ways to the bridge.


Looking towards Vincents Rose answered the questioning man. "there's a spacecraft threating to fire if we leave the ship." she replied sumerizing the current situation.
Striding to the communication system, he flipped the switch allowing him to speak. "The Forest is forever engulfed by winter. The fire never burns." Clearing his throat, he spoke once again. "A single black, human-sized figure will exit the ship and approach you. Allow him passage onto your ship."
Ette ran back towards the medical bay, his bag swinging haphazardly. He clutched a thin file in his hand, handing it breathlessly to the Captain.

"I'm sorry, sir, this is the most that I could find. Hasgramordia seems to be a system, but that's all there is on it. There's not much towards its inhabitants, anyways. I don't suppose this is very useful. I'm sorry." Ette sighed, trying to catch his breath. "How... How is the patient?"
Orion sat there for a few seconds, internally debating on what should be done. His ship was now cloaked and hidden from the view of the other vessel. Maneuvering slowly he positioned himself behind the engines on the ship and locked his missile trackers onto them.
(Sorry. I'm like waaay behind everyone)

Vincent nods. A man threatening to fire at the ship was a bigger problem. "Is there anything I can do to help, Captain?" He wasn't sure what to make of the situation, but he was willing to help out with the spacecraft that might fire.
Orion's ears pricked up at the transmission and he nodded. "Very well. You can leave, however, you must come outside and float there. I will pick you up. Anyone else shall be fired upon."
"Wait Artemis, we are not requesting permision to aboard his ship." But seeing the determined glare in his face he pressed no further. standing up from his chair he addressed the man on the screne, "why are you threatening the lives of my crew?' he asked with a sense of authority in his voice.

Hearing the doors of the lift open and seeing Ette the Captain approached him and accepted the files. "that you Ette, he is doing well. I have assigned two cadets to watch other him."

Returning his gaze to the stranger he spoke. "we mean you no harm. Why do you wish to harm us?"
"Well. I've done my part. Heading out to meet this freak." He flashed a peace sign before disappearing to the part of the ship for embarking. Running the diagnostics for his gear, he sealed off the room, and opened the hatch to the outside. "I'll be turning off my comm, can't risk this nut job shooting me for a hearing a little voice in my suit." 3... 2... 1... Jump. Exiting the hatch, the doors closed automatically behind him. Pushing himself into the open above the ship, he balanced himself with his jets until he was floating still.
Quill joined the group. "What is going on?" He couldn't get just a few minutes of quiet to work could he? Peter floated behind him, the usual blue face on the orb's screen was now red and the orb emitted an alarm. Quill waved his hand in front of Peter and the alarm shut off.
Orion closed communications with the ship. Going into complete radio silence. For them, it would be like he had ceased to exist. On the other hand, into a separate channel which only seemed to have two occupants, he began to speak. "So, what's that ship doing there?"
"Science, keep a lock on him. If anything happens i want him asap." he commanded at the teleporting room through the coms as he watched Artie float towards the estranged aircraft hovering dauntingly in space.


Rose turned to Quill as he entered. "theres a stray ship outside threatening to fire." she sumarized, so quick it would seem as if she had rehersed it countless times.
"The ship is just a cover. I didn't expect us to meet so early, especially like this." He chuckled through his comm. "They really do mean what they say, they truly are peaceful. They have some firepower, but they wont use it. Unless you provoke them. But, as always, you have them right where you want them."
Vincent moved into a corner and kept his eye on the screen. As Vincent half listened to the conversation the Captian was having, he wondered what was in store for them. Vincent was quite annoyed that he couldn't do much in this situation. He watched Artemis approach the other ship. "Will Artemis be alright?" Vincent hoped the other guy in the ship wouldn't notice him. Vincent didn't need to see someone else die.
Orion nodded. "I have Ion weapons locked onto their engines. If they make a move they won't be doing so for long. Otherwise, I'm inside a fighter and they don't seem like they have one. So I'll always be more responsive to any threat from people inside suits who come out of the ship. So this is good."

"Who are they, by the way?" He queried. Still keeping an eye on the ship for any other signs of movement.
"Captain permission to waste that merc when he gets back?" he says with a light chuckle. "Something isn't right, if he was willing to talk back to you, and by extentsion all of us. Why would he be afraid of this guy and turn off comms?
"It doesn't sit right in my gut, something's wrong", he says standing and making his way back to engineering. A small terminal pops up in his arm as he preps MkI, and MkII.
"no idea Andrew. Artemis hasn't been with us very long but he had a pretty glowing report."

standing next to Andrew Rose exclaimed. "I know what you mean Andrew. something doesn't seem to be right..."
"They're exactly as they say. They're an expedition vessel, sent to retrieve medical files. The, same, medical files Orion." Artemis gesturing to the ship with his suit. "They're perfect for what we need, you can dock on their ship. More people the better. They're pretty trusting. Except for that Andrew fellow. We would need to watch him. You should tag along, really." Thrusting himself ever so slightly back towards the ship, making the gesture with his whole body to tag along.
"Let me send out the MkVI on AI, the rail cannon on that thing will tear through his hull before he can even think about pressing that button. When he does a few counter shells from the VI, the missles are gone, he dies, we move on". He says stepping into the engineering bay stepping into the MkI.

"Either way if don't get them all, he VI takes the missiles, I'll just build another one". He says walking his way back to Medical dressed in the MkI armor, the Mk2 walking on AI behind him.
"lets just wait for Artie." Rose exclaimed following Andrew. "i know you don't like him but we have to trust him. Make sure the AI is set to go the SECOND the captain gives the order."
