The crew member who fetched it nervously walked in front of it, looking back every know and then, as if afraid it would lunge at him. Clever human. It entered the shuttle bay and scanned the surroundings. Next to the shuttle was a bunch of the crew members, including the human with the hidden AI. It walked up to them and spoke.

"Greetings, crew members. I understand their is a situation requiring my services. As we will be in combat together, to facilitate unit cohesion, I believe introductions are in order. For those who do not know, my designation is HKR-07. I already know David Anderson. May I inquire as to your names?"

Fern Hun brought the box just in time to hear HKR-07 ask the question. "I'm Fern Hun, one of the scientists aboard." He introduced. "Now, anyone need any sorts of laser pistols or explosives?"

Anderson looked over at HKR-07, nodded in acknowledgement, and turned to Fern Hun. "Those would come in handy."

"I'm aviator Hendrik Wolfskemer, the one who tried to defuse the situation between you and the rest of the crew after you attacked Anderson six years ago. I'm sorry not to have been in contact with you again after that, but my duties kept me away."

He walked over to Fern Hun, and asked: "Isn't Chase supposed to be our weaponsmith?" He then took a few grenades and a plasma pistol. He always kept his army knife handy.

"It's a side hobby. Since Chase was working on HKR, I thought I might as well help out with the weapons." Fern responded.

Alexsandr turned to the robot.

"My name is Alexsandr, Captain of this vessel."

He then turned around to the others.

"Are we prepared to leave?"

Chase watched as the killer robot left. That thing scared him so much. But his duties brought his mind away from the robot. Pirates were attacking the station, and the ship will need her systems running the best they can.

Running to the engineering console on the bridge, Zerick checked to see how every system was doing. Weapons good, shields good, engines....modified. Must've been Tomalek... He made a mental note to check out the modifications later. Reactor good, life support good, power grid good. Everything checks out. He stood there to monitor the systems.

" Names acknowledged. About this situation, is there any Intel we have?"

"We have no information other than the message from communications. But, we can't wait any longer. Let us board the shuttle."

Alexsandr then boarded the shuttle.

"Fly us into the hanger bay." he said before they took off.

Aíne was in suspension for part of the trip but would very often come out to, help with injuries of the engineering crew, to check that the suspension system was working and sometimes just to wander around. Inanimate suspension seemed to make him uncomfortable.
All together he aged about 4 years.


He quickly joins the shuttle team to help as an emergency medic. He comes with the required medical equipment and armed with a pistol and his personal ornate combat knife.

"Everybody aboard?"

Hendrik waited for a response. He didn't like flying blind into this situation.

" This unit is ready for combat, Hendrik Wolfskemer." HKR said as he entered the shuttle, twirling his staff.

The launch bay intercom powered on, "Shuttle team this is the bridge. We're beginning to depressurise the launch bay." Tomalek shut off the bay-wide intercom and contacted the captain's personal communicator, "Captain, is your shuttle prepared for departure?" he inquired.

Alexsandr made sure everyone who was going was on board. He saw everybody seated on the shuttle. "Yes, we are ready for departure."

"Depressurisation complete.  Shuttle bay doors are now open.  You may now safely exit the launch bay—good luck.  Should you require any assistance, we will maintain an open communication frequency."  Tomalek said to the shuttle over the intercom.  He turned to the launch bay command and control console, "Release docking clamps and prepare for the final shuttle departure command sequences."
