"Yeah, yeah, at least I killed it," Gunther said while getting back up. "I didn't want to wait around for it to shoot another one of us. Plus it saved that grenade for another droid."

"For some reason I think we're gonna see some more," Gunther  muttered while looking down at some of the dead bodies.

"We do have a lmg. I think there's a sentry turret in there too. We should set those up before we head off."

HKR left Hendrik in the care of the good doctor and walked over to the dead war droid. It took a moment to inspect the dead droids gun before picking it up. The weapon was still intact, so it racked the bolt and turned to the crew. " This unit will cover you while you set up the LMG. More war droids may be on the way, suggest you prepare for another fight" It twirled its staff in one hand and held the gun in the other.

Zerick found the schematics in the ship's database and opened the file. After a quick inspection, he devised a safe route for them.

"Captain, there's a maintenance shaft that connects the hangar to the droid bay and the armory. You could slip past the droids to the armory and grab whatever weapons and explosives you want. From there, there's another maintenance shaft that goes straight to the elevator shaft."

"Good, the fastest we get out of here, the better we will be."

Alexsandr looked around the hanger and his crew. Hopefully situations will improve as they go along this expedition.

"I think we need to split up, a group who will stay here to defend the shuttle, and another group to go to the command center. This way our shuttle can't be sabotaged."

Gunther spoke up, "As I said before, I'll stay back to defend Hendrik, the Doctor, and the shuttle. My machine gun should do a good job of keeping back any more baddies."

"And you," he pointed at Fern Hun, "You're good with military equipment, right? Think you can set up the sentry turret and man the LMG?"

"Of coarse, I'll go see what I have," Fern Hun replied. "Anyone else have any weapon requests?"

"I'll take a sidearm if I can get one. You can never be too careful... other than that, I'm ready to go forward towards the command center," responded Anderson.

HKR tossed the Acarian droids gun at David. " Is this acceptable, David Anderson? "

Anderson caught the weapon and responded, "I'll take it, thank you!"

"Good. I think Anderson, HKR, and I should go to the Command Center. Gunther, Fern, and Hendrik will stay here to guard the ship and our departure and also our docotr, Aine."

Alexsandr also sent a transmission to the USS Wintreath.

"Can we get some information about this maintenance shaft, like how to access it?"

"I'm working on it. Give me a sec..." He quickly blitzed through the files on the station until he found what he was looking for. "The panel is towards the front of the hangar near the control room. It's a simple panel that can be opened with a latch."

HKR twirled its staff, waltzed to the panel and smashed it open. It turned to the other crew members and spoke "Shall it lead the way or does one of you want to take point?"

"I guess you should lead the way, as you're a robot, you're better defended in the unlikely case anything is in this maintenance shaft." Zemas replied.

"Just make sure you don't get too damaged. I don't wanna spend another seven years fixing you again," Zerick said.
