TRANQUILITY 's InternaL Coms squaks:
"Permission to come aboard Captain."

Lower hatch in Cargo bay opens,
and several Containers rise from the plating beneath.

Several small bangs come from:
The Largest container,
Closest to the Cargo bay Doors as the crew enters the cargo bay
and descends the catwalk.
A small Port hole Reveals Massive arcing inside:
The Port opens with a gust of warm air.

......................................................
A voice Booms out from the dark. "Bearing Gifts CaptN"

Was just finishing a weld on a replacement hinge for the lower airLock,
Looks like the one there has been limping for a few decades,
and it interchanges with the ones I use on my Repair cases
So we're not out anything extra.
Got a few more cases here to share with the crew,
1st installment on our future.
Might as well get the pay scale started in the right direction
sounds like some of these toys can be usefull in your future endeavors.

"permission granted, like i have a choice. now come with me so we can find out who you are and why you're listed as cargo."
OREO or EL, you're welcome to come to this meeting."

* shadow locks PATHFINDER in the holding room for a moment while he makes an announcement about the next rescue mission on silas 5 *

*** ships com - [holding room muted] ***

ok all, here's the plan. we go in at night [as usual].

1st - we drop off the extraction team [KAT, OREO and EL] with mule about a mile from the asylums south side.

2nd - SHINY and i will take the 2 shuttles and fly by the east and north sides of the prison camp, east 1st then north. [drawing the guards away from the south quadrant ] dropping grenades simultaniously as a diversion.

3rd - PALMER will wait for the signal and then fly to the south side to scoop up mule with hopefully 4 passengers

4th - the 2 shuttles will meet up with TRANQUILITY in atmo'

that's the plan. get yourselves ready.

* thinking: jamming the camps communications will be the key to this whole thing *

**Kat is looking over some shiny new toys from PathFinder, wishing she had more time to check it all out properly. Looks like they will come in real handy, and there's even some precious new intel from the Silverhold Complex. Kat goes to find the Cap'n and finds him talking to Shiny**

Hi Shiny, hi Cap'n. Had a quick look over the things from PathFinder. I need to do some more testing but assuming that there are no really hidden traps/devices it looks like we got some serious tools here. With the new router Shiny made we will be able to intercept all the Comms in and out of the Prison Unit. And PathFinder has given me more Intel we can use to clarify what's going on. Plus there's this...

**Kat pulls out a small black box from her pack and waves it around with a big smile**

I'm guessing this is an Alliance jammer, new version. Don't know where he got it but the great thing about this is that with a couple of minor adjustments it effectively jams everything we want it to - Alliance or anyone else! Neat, huh!

It looks pretty cool kat.
But you should make sure its not something the alliance can use to track or spy on us.

(shiny looks at capt and says) We dont know who he is or why he here, plus you wanted him in the holding room why's he not in there?

(Oreo is stowing his gear onto the mule, El walks up and jumps up into the mule)

Oreo, you unfortuatley have point on this mission, which means you better not get us killed.But, I'm gonna let you knows rgith now, If we get into a pinch, I'm gonna do, whats best for me and mine. Dong Ma?

(Oreo closes the hatch on the mule and looks up at El)

You know already, Ain't four of us coming back. So, i'm expecting you to do whats best...For Kat and our mother. Not you. This is my fight and that camp will no longer exsist when i'm done and in order for that to happen...I have to no longer exsist. [Oreo puts his killing face on]...What do you care? You just do your damn job and make sure you cover of asses till i tell you to take over. Hell, i take back what i said about seeing who's a better killer....[Oreo cocks a pistol and puts it into his thigh holster]....Let's play.

**Shiny and Kat are talking to the Cap'n and looking at the new jammer from Pathfinder**

Cap'n: What do you mean he's not in the holding room? I put him there...PATHFINDER!!

**Cap'n runs off leaving Kat and Shiny looking at each other**

Kat: Er, ok then I'd best get the rest of my weapons together and help find Pathfinder..you armed, Shiny? Don't like the thought of him prowling around..Could you take a look at the jammer, too, cos another pair of eyes on it would be great - I want to use it but if PathFinder is playing us, we need to know. Thanks..

**Kat heads off leaving Shiny holding the jammer. Things are just never simple**

shiny's looking the jammer over and hears capts voice, "How's it look shiny is it on the up and up"? Its looks good capt, no flaws and shows no signs of being tampered with.So i'll go give it back to kat.

Is pathfinder back in the holding room capt?
Capt: yup for now.

ELBARTO

(on the mule)

(Oreo looks Elbarto up and down)

Aint you gonna use guns your supposed to be the cover!

El: I dont need guns to cover u and Kat in the asylum. Its all corridors and rooms. Trust me its better this way. Anyway, once we get past the main security checkpoints I'm gonna leave you and Kat. I'll lure the guards after me.

O: Thats a stupid plan.

El: Actually, if you had half a brain you would realize that its the best plan. Yours and Kats mission will be to find your family. I'll do some major damage so you can get them away safely. Remember, you gotta get your family out of there before you can blow the place.

(Oreo looks forward and mumbles something under his breath)

(Elbarto looks down at his forearms. At the perfectly molded pieces of metal that cover the area from his elbow to the back of his hand0

(thinking): i hope these work as well as sensei said they would. they are supposed to be able to stop any projectiles. He said they were made of the toughest material known to man.

When you can't run you crawl. When you can't do that...well...you know the rest.

**Kat is finally ready and sets off to load up the mule. She's determined to see this through without letting Oreo and El get out of hand. She decides that it's time for a charm offensive**

Kat: Hey, guys, you all ready? (Kat swings her pack into the mule and jumps in to check things over). All ok with you two?

**Oreo and El are busy pretending to check their kits**

Oreo: Yeh, fine.

Kat: How about you, El, you ok?

(El looks around at Kat and nods)

Kat: (getting desperate to be friendly but losing patience) Ok then! We're all ok. That's good. (pause) So, I guess a few things have been said, a few hot words spoken. But we're a good team, we need to stick together, look out for each other. (El and Oreo are just staring at Kat)

Kat: Well, I guess I'm done here, I'll see where the Cap'n is...(Kat leaves quickly)

ELBARTO

(After a second of preparing Oreo turns to Elbarto)

O:What was that all about?

El: how should i know? She's your sister. I guess being weird at times must run in the family.

O: Hey, Watch it!

El: (laughs) your not going to threaten me again are you?.....because you're just so scary!!

(Elbarto laughs even harder as Oreo looks speechless)

When you can't run you crawl. When you can't do that...well...you know the rest.

EL - i need to put OREO in his place

shadow - why?

EL - to show him whose pack leader.

shadow - i'm leader of this pack

EL - i've killed more men than you cap.

shadow - killin' don't make you dominant.

EL - then why does OREO make more decisions than you? its your boat.

shadow - he makes no decisions without my permission.

**Kat, Elbarto and Oreo have entered the building and now the diversion is under way, are heading to the main Comms routers**

Kat: Are you sure it's this way, Oreo? I need to be as near as possible to get this router in place.

Oreo: I'm sure. Just keep down and quiet and we'll be there soon.

**They continue on, listening out for approaching guards but see no-one**

Oreo: Here, on the right...

**Kat sees the tell-tale Comm tubes and follows them down to the corridor hatch. As she opens the hatch door El touches her shoulder. She looks up and he puts his fingers to his lips. He has heard something...

They wait for a minute, frozen, and then El gives the all-clear. Kat quickly hides the router in an adajacent panel then starts damaging the outer surface of the Comms tube**

Oreo: What are you doing! Do you want them to find it?!

Kat smiles sweetly at Oreo: Do you think that they won't suspect we will do something to the Comms? I'm going to jam all their signals in a moment with PathFinder's toy, so they will be checking everything when we've gone. I've put the route underneath the hatch panel door, in the void, so when they see the damage here and this (she holds up a small silver box) they'll think that they've found what we did. (she puts the small box in place, hidden but still a little visible) They'll congratulate themselves and move along. And the router stay put, giving us access to all the Comms.

**Kat returns to finish off her work while Oreo and Elbarto exchange looks.**

Kat: Right, all done. Now let's find who we came for...

Oreo: We need to hurry. It's this way...
