Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Yet look what Fleet's done with bioware in the last ten years, look at Rosey, she was...constructed...on Earth. It's technically possible with enough life supports. And I can't fathom how we have the technology to self sustain in space, but four guys are going to give us hassel." Obviously Rennell wasn't too pleased with all of this at all now was he? Nope.

"Need to take out his tech guy..." Crossing his arms and leaning his weight to one side. "But you and I both know, mystery solved or not the longer we're holed up in here, the longer they're getting chances to do who the hell knows what. And now that Envision has full power, it's a potiential target. Better than the half on Impression that Captain is trying to route them to."

Eric gave a chuckle. "I'd like to see them try and take Envision from Jelena." God have mercy on those guys.

"Legal doesn't mean anything." But shutting his mouth as James was in agreement with him. It felt good to win didn't it? Yes very much so. "Sounds like a fabulous plan to me." Easily catching the rifle that was thrown at him. "Hey my own may not be of deadly force capacities but it works well with my bioware and can bust eardrums too. Nice to subdue people with. Or animals for that matter...whatever it is." A shrug. "I take it I'm position tracker as well." After all, him and sound.

"It's a direction to go." Erik looked to his men, giving a nod to them in confirmation that they were going to go with James' plan...they could hold down the fort here and help out with corridor security and what not. Though a chuckle. "Yeah yeah, you bioware enabled and your easy locking, no offense taken. Let's go."


"Quiet Trevale." He reached into his jacket pocket, pulling out the little display screen that was currently going off in alarm. "Double ******** power detected in Ingenuity when there's not supposed to be." A few clicks on the screen with the stylus to get it's source route traced...well damn, Radience docks. "They hacked into Ingenuity." A look to Jelena and a point of his hand as he put the device away and took up his gun. "You, go to bridge now. I'm going to Ingenuity."

"You can't go alone."

"I'm not taking you with me and I don't have time to wait. Which means if I take the time to contact someone James is going to go into planning mode. If they get a hold of the weapons in there, we're screwed." All the while fixing the settings on his gun. Then a look to Jelena and her Echo. "Those things able to defend?"

"Could crush a steel bar in thier jaws. But you're not using them as weapons."

"You want to be stubborn and go with me, you bring that. You can't even fully walk on your own right now. Besides...Norrington, if I can get a good guess at him, probably would want to capture that thing alive so it could be replicated. I'm not asking you to bring him as a weapon or a bargining chip...just for protection."

Jelena frowned and looked to her beloved Fenrir, whom intelligent enough to understand they were talking about him and going somewhere, gave her a nuzzle and a whimper. A look back to Noris. "Only because you're an idiot." And back to the Fenrir. "Come on."

"Yeah yes, technicalities." Rolling his eyes but that was about it until he let it go. Merely taking to following thier proclaimed leader. "You wanna stay more behind James, Erik. You know...sharp metal projectiles from my back and everything." Shouldering his rifle for the time being though giving one of those noises that said he wanted to whine but knew better. "I hate dog trotting..." Made his calves hurt.

Meanwhile Michael, Jelena, and one fenrir were making thier way across coded service accesses to Ingenuity. He was quite amazed that the creature could so easily manuver throught the hallways. "All we have to do it get to the training bay where they store everything, cute the electrical locks and use the manual ones. Should get us some time and what not."

And it was hit the wall for him, though yes it was horribly uncomfortable. "Hey! I ain't no bird! Those have feathers!" Powering up his rifle...though he knew it would be hell to step out and grab a shot off...though heh heh...idea. Turning to the wall again he searched the wall with his particular brand of vision skills, before smiling and pulling out his own gun, ushing sound resonance to weaken the metal and more or less punsh through it, exposing wiring.

"Ideas are wonderful things." Reaching in and pulling out a wire, using his teeth to snap it...and of course get a mild shock...but that was about it for him. A certain power down sound in the hallway and Rennell gave a chuckle. "No more gravity for you guys...no one can fire straight in that." And he had his wings and they all had thier grav boots.

Erik shook his head, on the other side of the hallway with James. "Stop trying to kill yourself you idiot! I swear if it wasn't for those nanos in your blood taking the shock you'd be brain dead by now." Speaking of which he looked to James. "And if he does it anymore or if any of those nanos burn out, we'll need to get to a sick bay for a booster shot." Or bad things would happen.

He gave a growl...not at all happy with all of that. And thus a bang of his head against the wall. "We can't win...and yet I am not allowed to believe we are doomed. How unfair is that?" Giving a little snort before looking over to James and Erik, giving a dismissive wave. "I'm fine." A flex of his wings and then a look down the the disks and then to the gun in his hand. "Cover up boys." Thus pulling down his goggles and taking aim at teh strewn floor, using his thumb on the dial on the weapon and watching for resonating sounds to sync up before firing, and thus eliminating thier prime obstacle as of now. Oh he loved this system.

They had just reached Ingenuity's back bays when Jelena stopped them. "Wait! How much power does this ship have?"

"Only half...gravity is partially disabled...foul step will throw you but it has oxygen and safety lights." Taking a cautious look around and mentally reminding himself where the trading grounds were.

Jelena pulled out her communicator. "Lillia? Lillia are you there?"

He drifted for a few seconds before his wings flipped out, the whirring noise indicating his jets had cut on and thus the forward propulsion brought him to a hover.

"James!" He knew that such things and most Meta people did not mix at all. Thus the moment things cleared he was knelt down next to James. "James, get up." Security officer and bioengineering tech but Meta tech he was not. Thus he had no idea what to do here."

"Back off Erik." Rennell came floating up, landing next to James and pulling something off his belt, pulling a cord out of it and duely hooked it into James. "We have to get a systems read off of him."

Lillia had eventually got what was requested of her and brought them to Jelena who was now using them. Gravity cables. One was wrapped around each paw of the fenrir and activated...now he didn't have to worry about faulty steps. Effectively he had grav boots. "Okay, we're good. Lillia you can go back to Bridge if you want...keep monitors on things. Let's go captain."

He nodded...still thinking this a bad idea but didn't say anythign against it. But soon enough he was peering around a corner, watching Jessica being manhandled. "s**t...they're looking for the weapons. And Jessica is in trouble." He liked Jessica...she was a good woman.

"Use me as bait." She got the 'are you stupid' look. "I'm a woman, they're pigs. It works. Not to mention I'm a project leader. A pet to the fenrir next to her. "Don't worry, he won't let anything happen to me...and he's tough. Hang back with him. Find the security panel for here and try to put the lock codes on ten sceond recode scramnbles." Thus she walked herself around the corner...though her walking was still horribly limpy and slow, and pulled up her gun to point at the general. Yes she was probably doing something very stupid. "Let her go."

Rennell cursed. "He's down, needs a jump from Ingenuity sick bay. They have the programs we need." Reaching to Jame's boots he disengaged the gravity fields on them. Made him float and thus easy to cary. "I can hotwire the transporter to get right to the bay, my own systems say that Ingenuity has some power." Seemed Norrington's little hack jobs worked in thier favor a little.

Erik nodded, picking James up...yay no gravity...and followed Rennell down the hall and back into the docking bay...seemed it was deserted now. So then he waited for Rennell to hotwire the transporter and then they were indeed in Ingenuity sickbay, Rennell taking to booting a system or two and hooking James up. Erik seemed ancy. "There's too much power on...I think we're in big trouble here..."

Rennell was browsing through progams, look for James' reboot aid ones. Hey all the loitering he did around her was proving useful...that and his slight hacker skills seeing as he found it he had to enter a code. Of course Jessica would put something like that as the pass and it made him snicker. "We're in business." Thus entering the submit command.

He was watching James twitch a little. "Good thing you annoy the hell out of everyone then." Pacing the room some, looking out the door and some such to keep cover on them. Oh this was stressful.

Michael had found said panel and broken into it and indeed hacked his way into the system and was making the codes constantly recycle themselves every five seconds. Hey, he liked five better than ten. Though nervous looks at the animal next to him.

"No, I have my gun with me. I'm perfectly fine." Giving a smart a** look though then a frown as they went about doing something to Jessica and more or less ignoring Jessica's look. She had no idea what she was doing, she was winging it. Didn't even flinch at the guns pointed her way either and knowing that her little pistol was nothing to these guys. "I don't need to worry about them, they're made of tough stuff." Stepping closer and wobbling a bit as she tried to keep her balance. "Let Jessica go...I can assure you that I'm much more informative than Jessica. After all, I am sleeping with the enemy so to speak."
