Space E-war

[UndeadRaptor]

The merchant begins hacking into the systems while Dylan comes over and looks at the data, reading each piece of it carefully...

[dinoman666]

Other than the letters, the data that the Cerberus agent actually had was heavily encrypted. It would probably take years to decipher...

[Godzilla Forever]

Jessica walks up behind Dylan, trying to read the encrypted data. "The hell does that even say?....." she asks aloud.

[UndeadRaptor]

"Who knows? We'll probally figure it out when we get it back to our superiors. They're going to like this information when they see it, though," Dylan had replied, his arms now crossed as he read whatever he could while the hack was going on...

[dinoman666]

Morleon barked an order to his subordinates. "Sergeant Roe, get down there, now!" Another clutch of mercenaries moved into the tunnel, heading for the merchants...

[UndeadRaptor]

The merchants continued watching while one of their comrades continued hacking into the computer, while Dylan read everything he could on the screen...

[dinoman666]

There was no data to read. All of it was heavily encrypted. Rawlings' cipher data could only be downloaded into some other machine for transport...

[UndeadRaptor]

The merchant continued on hacking the computer, as Dylan turned and walked over Geero's body to the door of the room. The early G.E.A merchant ship, filled with the soldiers, civilians and Bori-Saurochus, continued on through hyper-space, but soon stopped as it got quite close to it's destination...

[Godzilla Forever]

Jessica reloads her pistols and stands guard next to the merchants, hoping nothing else comes...

[dinoman666]

It didn't take very long for the unprotected computer to relinquish its data. However, it was obvious that the necklace Geero had stolen wasn't in here. The only other route was through the mining tunnel...

[UndeadRaptor]

"Ok, we should get going now. We'll find your ship and whatever else these scum had stolen from you, then we'll get out of here," Dylan said, beginning to move out of the room with some of the merchants...

[Godzilla Forever]

Jessica says, "He stole my father's gift to me.... it's important to me, so I hope he hadn't lsot it...."

[UndeadRaptor]

"We'll find it for you, don't worry," Dylan said, now out of the room with a couple of the merchants among the group. "Even if it means we have to tear through every single one of these f***ers just to get to it with our bare hands, we'll do it..."

[Godzilla Forever]

Jessica nods before following Dylan, holstering her pistols...

Krythnriin's ship keeps flying along, Mhlrtr having fallen asleep, and Krythnriin seeming rather unwillnig to talk. Kluyr turns to the queen. "You bored?"

[UndeadRaptor]

The queen nodded as she continued looking out the window, watching as the ship was now flying through space. Dylan continued moving, leading basically everyone else through the mining tunnel, everyone watching corners and the area around them in case of an ambush...

[dinoman666]

As the group walked into the tunnel via the hole in the wall, a group of Eclipse approached them from a door at the opposite end of the tunnel, which led back into the facility. Two Eclipse Troopers took cover behind a stack of crates, while a Salarian Engineer took cover behind another crate ahead of them. Another Trooper followed Roe, a male Vanguard, up to the merchants. "You've been causing quite a bit of trouble, you know that?" he remarked, crossing his arms. "All for what? Some dumb piece of jewelry?" He nodded in the general direction of the front entrance, and the number of dead merchants that still laid there. "Doesn't seem like your dead buddies would appreciate that much, do you?"

[UndeadRaptor]

"How 'bout you go talk to your dead friend back there about mistaking us for some other group that consists of agents, that we aren't," a merchant replied as he pumped his shotgun, a used shell flying out onto the ground. "And, we're going to want that back about now, along with that ship," another added, cracking his knuckles and pulling out his rifle...

[dinoman666]

Roe shook his head. "If this is over some mistaken identity BS, then you're more of an idiot than I thought." He folded his hands behind his back and paced back and forth. "Look, Captain Morleon isn't as... polite as I am. This will be easier for all of us if you just walk away now. Or would you rather see what my boss can do to you?"

[UndeadRaptor]

"Look, this ain't over some sort of mistaken identity now, bud. Me and my pals here just want back what you stole, and we'll leave. Don't, and we'll f**k up that data we stole on the one that was killed back there, how he was interrogated and sorts," Dylan said, slinging his rifle over his shoulder and pulling his pistols out...

[dinoman666]

Apparently unimpressed, Roe crossed his arms again. "The Captain ordered us to give you one chance to walk away. But the whole time we've been talking, my men have been lining up shots." He stepped forward, revealing the Eclipse mercs in the distance behind him, the two troopers of which had been hiding right next to what looked like a stack of barrels with some sort of warning label on them, either explosive or toxic. "When I give the word, we unleash hell on your squad," Roe continued. "So I suggest you walk away nicely, unless you want things to get ugly..."
