Richard ran towards Jacob and took a look. It look like the shrapnel passed trough, but he only knew basic first aid, so it was time to call in the medic.
"Ariel, we got a man down! Get over here."

Since nobody seems to like it, I'm going to downplay my last post for the time being.
What was going on in there? Ben clicked on his com and tried to contact Richard.
"Um, do you guys need any help in there?"
"No, we killed whatever it was, but we need you two down here to inspect it."
"Okay, I'll get Jon."
Ben switched his com frequency and spoke to Jon. "Richard wants us to inspect something in the ship. Join me down there when you can."
Ben got himself through the airlock and decon, then had a bad thought. I think I'll be sleeping in my suit for a while . . . He resealed his suit and strolled down the hallway to the remains of a detonated scout robot.

Skyy collected Rain and the entire crew gathered in the middle of the galley to look at the wreckage of the drone. It was a segmented scorpion shape with gas lasers instead of pincers. The tail held a vial of injectable polyform gas, which was fortunately intact. Rain looked over it, then spied a small label on it. It was a small Iris shape with the words "Nightrise Corporation" written under it. She dropped the piece in shock and disgust, her suspicions confirmed.
"Maintain course, stay in hyperspace." She said then walked away, her heels clacking as she walked down the deck.

Nightrise Corporation? That would make sense. Only Nightrise would put name tags on assasin robots. "I've done a net search" Mic began, "The only place thats 'lost' polyform was Nightrise, and there was a Corporation freighter in dock at the space station. The only thing that puzzles me, is why Nightrise are so against us finding out what happened to the Evies"

The last 25% can now feel smug because everyone else has taken orders from a little sig box.

"Or maybe this has nothing to do with it.
I mean, lets face it - when you send a assassin you don't slap a property tag on it. Weather he fails or not you DON'T want anyone to find out who he was working for. The tag tells us nothing really.
It could have been placed there on purpose to mislead us, or the drone could have been stolen."
Ben was turning one part over in his hands and added:
"This type of drone is used for scouting or light repairs - a modification like this is not legal. I've never seen one like this."

Jacob coughed again and by accident he switched on his IR Vision, he saw something lurking around in the maintenance corridors, most of it was around 17 degrees colder than it's surroundings, it was a humanoid figure, but something on it's back was hotter than it's surroundings, it had the heat signature of a powercell, Jacob asked "Do we have any robots on this ship? 'Coz there is another robot lurking around the maintenance corridors, it has the heat sig of a maintenance robot.

Dude. We don't need mre action. SLOW DOWN. Tidy up the story first.bien4500 wrote:Jacob coughed again and by accident he switched on his IR Vision, he saw something lurking around in the maintenance corridors, most of it was around 17 degrees colder than it's surroundings, it was a humanoid figure, but something on it's back was hotter than it's surroundings, it had the heat signature of a powercell, Jacob asked "Do we have any robots on this ship? 'Coz there is another robot lurking around the maintenance corridors, it could be a maintenance robot, or an assassin.
Ben continued, "This thing has a power cell strapped to it, lasers screwed into its claws, and a gatling gun welded to its torso. These mods are neither legal, safe, or well done. The power supply took a direct hit, and the electrogel exploded as it touched oxygen. Either our enemies are desperate, or they need to take some engineering classes. I'm suprised this thing didn't combust in transport."
He took the tail section and sliced it off with a laser cutter, then put it in another biohazrd box to prevent the polyform from escaping. The glass vial inside disintegrated as thermo-reactive gas was sprayed on it, burning everything inside to oblivion.
"Perhaps . . . we should all remain in our suits until further notice. And everyone should carry a pistol at all times."
Ben paused momentarily, then stared at the rifle in Richard's hands. "What the hell is that thing? A miniature Argon Anti-Ship Cannon?"

"I supose I could have a go at it." Mic answered sheepishly. "I am the son of an Arms Merchant after all." He paused. "What really puzzles me, is that if whoever it is thats trying to kill us, they have the skills to steal polyform from a big company, use on of their products, and attack a ship whilst a freighter of the company is in dock on the same station as the target."

Jacobs question clearly caught Richard off-guard. The man paused for a second, looked around as if embarassed or looking for the right thing to say.
"The rifle? Erm...well...You see, it's one of the reasons I got people after me. I said that me and the military didn't part of friendly terms...well, that would be a bit of an understatement. I kinda taken a few things with me when I left..like this experimental assault rifle."
He pulled the rifle off his back and started explaining.
"The XAR-15, multi-purpose assault rifle. Adjustable rate of fire, 5 modes of fire, modular, light, integral grenade launcher, IR, UV and optical sights with computer targeting and tactical display."
"Wow.." - muttered Jacob - "Some heavy duty stuff. How the hell did you get your hands on something like that?"
"Indeed" - Jonathan chiped in - "I'd like to know too."
Richard put the rifle back on his back and started walking towards his room
"A long story.. another time perhaps. We have more important things to worry about now."

Is this dead?
Jacob tore an old shirt into strips and tied them around his waist as a makeshift bandage for his wound, then he noticed he was hungry, he put his hand into his pocket, and took out a powerbar, but it was expired, so he walked into the mess hall and saw a plate of pancakes, he forced himself not to eat them, because they were someone else's, suddenly a thought crept into his head "Pancakes! That means there is anything else but Mayonnaise sandwiches." so he walked into the kitchen and looked into all the cabinets, he saw nothing in them. In dismay he left the mess hall and said "Maybe I'll talk to the cyborg guy, maybe he can cook, or he has some kind of replicator.".
