Lion had been deeply touched by Dwan's story, as he knew all too well the feeling of losing someone close. "I'm really sorry to hear that Dwan, it couldn't have been easy to move on from that."
He looked at Dwan with a sad look. "He sounded like a good man, you shouldn't blame yourself for what happened nor how you reacted. The fact that you stayed with him for four months speaks for itself."
Dwan looked at Lion with tearful eyes. "Thank you.", he said to him. "I haven't been to that universe since. I still wonder what happened to Dey.", he told him.
"Never forget that I'm here for you. Always." Said Lion. "Have you ever considered going back?"
"No, I haven't. I don't think I could return and see anyone there again. There would be so much explaining to do.", Dwan said to Lion.
With everything sorted in the hangar and pippins bots doing the remainder of the minor repairs, Iska had walked up to the bridge to check on things. She entered when Pippin was talking to Sheila. Iska let out a small laugh, "She not your type." she said with a playful voice. She walked over to the main control where Pippin and Sheila were. "Drones do repairs now, good work Pip" she said, tapping pippin on the shoulder. Standing at the observation window, Iska quickly scanned the room. She turned to Viper, "Where is captain?"
"Pip," He nodded "I like that."
"Captain Eastlindht or Lion as his more commonly known alias, seems to be currently located within Barkeeper Dwan quarters, they are most likely discussing what you soft carbons call a "Private matter " as audio from that room is disabled." Viper answered Iska's question before turning to oversee the Archius's trajectory.
"Good point." Said Lion. "If there's anything else I'm all ears, if not, well, I think we've reached TC."
Having spoken about the event finally allowed Dwan to get it off his chest. He still has a few things to realize himself, but he was satisfied, since he finally had a second opinion regarding the event. It invigorated him. He hears Lion ask if he has anything else to say. Dwan takes a moment to think before realizing something.
"Well, there are two more things I want to discuss with you. Firstly, I want you to know that if you need anything, anything at all, I can possibly get it for you from another world. Heck, you could use the planet my pad is in if you want to build things like mechas or something.
And secondly, I received word that Yanim had purged her files. Whilst I understand why she did it, it does provide a inconsistency within the system, as HarkArk still believes she is employed with us. If you could provide me with something that would allow me to enter the Archius files undetected, I could potentially go to a convergent universe, a universe that has yet to diverge from the prime universe, and retrieve the files before Yanim purged them. We can then label her as deceased, which would be very useful for her. It would get the Crimson Son off her back and allow her to live a new life.", Dwan told Lion.
Varn received a notification that they have arrived near TC. He started preparing for what was going to happen. He donned his armor and equipped Val and the Boombox.
He went down to the Hangar and started preparing the tank for action.
As the moment went by Termina Central stood in silence. However the background began to crowd with several large ships behind the HQ, floating ominously as they awaited for orders. The large ships were sleek and industrialized, fitted with a orange line across their hulls. The number of ships flowing through space kept increasing minute by minute as they faced the small ant-like Archius from the far distance.
...
Andronious walked up to Varn preparing the tank. Andron tilted his head as he prepared to speak. "My master wishes to speak to Captain Jeremy, but seeing that he has passed away I believe Lion should attend to the call. Can you call him?"
"Yeah, sure." Varn opened a secure channel to Lion. "Captain, you're being called down to the hangar. Andron says that Mr. Saw wants to talk to you."
"I'll keep that in mind. As for the files, I've just sent you credentials to your datapad allowing untraceable access so that you may avoid detection."
Lion then stood up. "Thanks for the drink." He then unlocked the door and went for the bridge before being stopped halfway as Varn told him about Andronicus. "Understood, I'll be there in five."
"See you again soon.", Dwan said to Lion. Just as he was about to unlock the door, Lion did it himself. Sighing, he re-enabled the audio on the cameras in the bar. Dwan pulled out his datapad from underneath the counter. He saw the credentials. He closed the bar for a break and snuck into his quarters. He does a quick scan of all the files on the Archius, as so to make it easier for him to find the purged files. He opened a portal to a convergent universe, and jumped into it.
---
Dwan arrived in the convergent universe, within his quarters during the battle against the Auditors. Using the credentials on his datapad, he accessed the files on this Archius. He does a comparison scan and the datapad finds the missing data on it. He copies the files that were purged over to the datapad. He opens another portal and returns to the prime universe.
---
Having returned, Dwan snuck out of his quarters and back into the bar. He uploaded the files back onto the databank of the Archius and began searching them. Yanim's engineer logs, her personal information, biometrics, medical records, schematic designs and more were all back. First things first, he added some new info.
"Yanim Sidikan died in combat, fighting against the Auditors.", he added.
Following that, Dwan searched the files further. The ATD design would prove to be quite useful, if any more needed to be made, and the lines of communication could prove to be useful (besides, anyone who doesn't know the truth would assume the lines are useless, as she's dead), but there was sensitive info that could be used against her, such as the YS-X neural implant design, which she did as a personal project. He compiled all the sensitive and personal info that could be used against her into a file, which he then encrypted to look like a file relating to him. The file speaks of Dwan's odd interests regarding caldiur, assumed to be created by a staff member. The only one who can decrypt the file is Dwan now.
"Lion, all inconsistencies have been plugged up. You can remove the credentials from my datapad now.", Dwan sent a message via his comm. He then purges the files from his datapad, no longer needing them. Following this, Dwan then started looking up "kanad culture" on the Internet, hoping to find a new name for him to use for Yanim if he ever sees her again. The old Yanim had "died" in his eyes.
"Done." Said Lion just as he walked into the hangar. After moving to the main hnagar area where Roughrider was parked, Lion spotted Varn and Andronicus standing next to Jägermeister.
"Here I am." He said as he walked up to them.
Andron nodded, "Establishing." He said as a small transparent screen appeared in front of Lion. Harken Saw appeared sitting as he poured himself some brand whiskey. "Captain I want- Harken Saw stopped as he saw an enforcer instead. "You're not the captain, where is he?" Harken Saw asked him.
He didn't receive a response but a word saying dead. Harken Saw blinked and clasped his hands. "Well, that is unexpected. Anyway, I want the Archius in my office immediately. A Privateer transport will be there right when you come to Central. Bring all your men about our upcoming briefing. Oh and there will be some guests inside, if you are uncomfortable then don't hesitate to bring some form of defense."
Lion saluted. "Understood." He then opened up a channel to Viper.
"Viper, make sure that the crew is geared up and ready for combat. Saw wants us in his office ASAP."
"Roger, Captain Eastlindht. I'll have the away team ready in the hanger and rest of the Archius's crew on general alert and armed within moments, sir. See you at the Hanger." Viper said as it disconnected it's implant direct power and looked over the crew occupying bridge.
"Officer Shiela, have the Archius's crew prep and ready for anything, including direct action. Report any activity of our "friends" to me and Captain Eastlindht while I and rest of the away team met with Mr. Saw for an personal chat." Viper said before turning towards the Pip and Iska.
"Captain Eastlindht has ordered that the away team are to assemble for little chat with Saw, your welcome to tag along Pip if you feeling up for it, just be ready for anything."
After looking for a bit online, Dwan finally figured out what he would call Yanim. Senilmika, which means "troubled one" in Kanad. The name is fitting enough in his eyes, though he doesn't realize that in actuality, it is a nickname, not a name. Soon, he received a message on his comm, talking about how the Archius' away team plans to head to a meeting with Saw. Dwan knew he had to come along. He snuck into his quarters and changed out of his bartender gear, putting on [URL="http://metalgearinformer.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/MGSV-E3-Trailer-Revolver-Ocelot.jpg"]what he wore when he boarded the ship[/URL] back on Terra.
He snuck back into the bar and grabbed his revolver and Obrez. He headed down the elevator and met up with Lion, Varn and Andronicus in the hangar.
Varn leaned back on the tank and waited for the others to show up. Dwan exiting the elevator grabbed his attention. "You look pretty sharp Dwan."
"Thanks.", Dwan responded.

((This is pretty cool. I've been wanting to do something like this for a while but I didn't really know to approach it. I hope you have an editable version, once the sequel RP gets rolling we're going to have a lot of new locations. Btw everyone, if I haven't contacted you on steam about the sequel and you're interested, kick me a message. I've been taking inputs to help hash out a large plot line for us to romp around in.))
[I sure do, the whole point of the map was designed to give new players a basic understanding about whats what from this version of the RP. Depending on when I happen to be online tomorrow I can contact you on steam.]
(Hey speaking of steam, could someone add me to the group?)
Edit: I was always on it, sorry
[Can the rest of you come down to the hangar already?]
Lion had done a quick stop on his way down to the hangar, having equipped himself with the usual carrying rig above his armor and his wide arsenal of weapons.
He observed Dwan and Varn quietly as the Archius approached Termina Central.
pippin, having his gear all prepared, started making his way to the hangar
