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..."
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."
"What's going on now?" Ette asked, walking out of Medical. He stared at Andrew, who was dressed in armor.
"That's amazing!" He cheered happily, his blue eyes wide. "Is the ship outside causing trouble now? I haven't heard any updates from our Captain, so I'm not really sure." Ette furrowed his brow.

"Come see me in engineering, and I'll let you take it for a spin once we're out of this mess", he says looking at Ette. Looking to Rose, "Aye aye mamn", he says setting the VI on standby.
Rose looked at Ette. "captains in the Bridge at the moment. Artie went to investigate the ship but before he left he switched his coms off." she explained.
"Thank you! Are you going after him, then?" Ette followed the group for a while before slowly stopping. He ran back to the medical bay and started stocking supplies in his bag, then ran back to the group, skidding to a stop. "Should I come along for safety? I know the ship's small. If you're sure that you won't need a medic, however, I'll just stay here."
"thanks we'll need a medic. We can't go yet though we need the all clear from Artie. Then we need to gather the files and fix the breech before anything else happens."
