"Um, alright," Ette replied. "If you want to, sure, I think that's a wonderful idea." He laughed cheerfully.
"brilliant!" jumping into the pod she glanced at Andrew, "see ya later!"
Hopping into the MkI Andrew made his way to the corridor where the breach needed the last patch weld. "Guys stay on open comms, I'll keep a mech on standby if you need me" Andrew says to to the crew in the pod.
Nodding in affirmation she checked her coms and began navigating the pod out the air lock.
When Ette visited him in medical, he was just sitting on the bed with the cadets nearby. When Ette left, he began walking around the room, looking around. He then turned to one of the cadets. "How long do I have to stay in here? 'Cause y'know... I'ed like to see if I could get the comms working on my ship. I'ed doubt your engineers would know how to handle Hasgramordian Technology, especially one such thing as a prismatic engine."
Sivwikkas remained on the bridge while the events unfolded. In one of their free hands they fidgeted with a small clicking block, its purpose unknown. It seemed to be that the foreign fighter shuttle was standing down its weapons, and its pilot might even be accompanying them. The notion was bizarre for Wikkas, who was used to strict Academy hierarchy. The chain of command here seemed muddled at best!
"Analyzing repairs," the little Isswas said, their fingers flying over the human-sized keyboard as they carried out the commands. "Hull integrity is still down 5%, but there's no danger of a breach."
Given that they had crewmen in the station, Wikkas began to ran some diagnostic scans, locking onto the life signs of Quill, Ette, and Rose. Just in case anything went awry, they would be able to beam the humans back to the Traveler. Hopefully it wouldn't be necessary. "Everything alright over there so far, crewmen?" Wikkas asked the three of them over the comm. "From the airlock, take the first left, then head to the room at the end of the corridor. There should be a console in the middle of the room. You'll be able to download the files from there--use access code 201-β-λ-φ."

"W-What? We're okay!" Ette yelled as loudly as he could. He gripped onto his seat as tightly as he could, his knuckles turning white. The pod was moving much too quickly and the directions that Sivwikkas had given left his head spinning. Something about the middle of the room. There was a code that he had given... what was it again? 2189-392? No, that didn't even sound vaguely right. 102-345-beta-upsilon? That didn't make any sense! Ette looked frantically at Quill and Rose, hoping that they were better with directions than him.
"Peter you got that code?" The orb nodded as it recorded the numbers they were told. He sighed as the pod moved, he took out a small pistol from his holster at his hip and opened the barrel up, tinkering with it.
Ette breathed a sigh of relief. Peter was even more amazing than he originally thought! He had to go and see Quill's other inventions some time.
Wikkas cringed away from the headset as the voice blared in their eardrum, though they couldn't help but giggle at the stuttering. "Don't worry. If anything goes wrong, I'll beam all three of you back to the Traveler." It seems that the little alien didn't know about Peter.
"Hey Rose what exactly are we doing again?" To be quite honest to himself he had forgotten.
Ette looked at Rose as well, his brow furrowed slightly. He wasn't quite sure, and Quill not knowing had made him even less sure of what he had heard. Certainly Rose would know, right? Yeah, she'd know. He'd just go along with whatever she said.
The comm line was still open. Wikkas laid a hand over the headset, trying not to giggle aloud at their confusion. "You need to fetch the station's medical files--the whole history. Download them like I told you earlier and bring them back to the Traveler. Nice and easy, right?" Their pod would be approaching the station around then, and would dock with a soft bump.
"Uh, yeah!" Ette remembered now. He wanted to hit himself on the head for forgetting something so simple. Peter had the code and everything as well, and he knew that the files were located in the drawer in the center of the room. Added to Rose's certain knowledge, that should be enough to properly do everything.
Ette jolted upwards in his seat as the pod landed.

Sivwikkas' deft fingers raced over the control board. "Initiating docking procedure," they said as the pod locked into the station's docking bay with a series of clicks. Once they stopped, air began to hiss as the pressure and atmosphere slowly normalized between pod and station. "Regulating air pressure ... pressurization complete. You're clear to enter the station! Good luck!"
Ette walked into the station. He went to the first left and walked down the corridor, entering the room. He immediately spotted the console, standing in the midst of the relatively full room. He froze when it came to the code, then looked back.
Peter had it, right?
Peter had it, right?
Quill was following Ette. He held his pistol in one hand, prepared for anything. Peter zoomed over to Ette, flying around the console. "201-β-λ-φ." Peter sounded the code off. Quill twirled his pistol in his hand. "Let's get these files and get out of here, I don't like the feel of this place."
"Alright." Ette entered the code. There was a slight clicking sound.
(I'm going to go somewhere with this to heighten the sense of story. If I'm overstepping any bounds, just let me know 
)
As the files transferred, a soft shuffling sound could be heard in the next room over, though initial scans showed the station as being unoccupied. The shuffling soon fell quiet again.

Ette took the files and looked towards the next room. He looked back at Quill and then at the room again. Slowly, Ette moved towards the door, curiosity overcoming his fear. He went back into the corridor and left the room, then walked to the next room and opened the door cautiously.
"Hello...?" Ette asked quietly.
