Dwan cleaned up the bar as the announcement was made. He gets himself ready and goes to the hangar, meeting Varn on the way down, as he was trying to contact the bar to see if Dwan was coming.
Taking a shower to clean off as much as he could after the brain surgery and the tomato incident, Joseph put on a fresh clean lab coat and proceed to make his way down to the hanger bay.
(I'm just going to assume that the female pirate held prisoner was already traded for bounty when we were on the ice planet)
Dolosus heard the patient had woken up and put his regular on hold. He headed to the medbay and talked to Riker.
"Now I'm a silicon head just like you and I'm sorry to tell you the authorities cracked down on intellectual augmentation while you were frozen. Problem is that your brain became quite reliant on those chips, so we had no choice but to replace them. The only reason we got these super new ones was the considerable connections that this ship has. They'll serve you well, but this secret stays between the captain, you, and everyone who did that operation.

[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;47610127]Lion heard the message and waved at Varn. "Let's go, stay armed." Lion brought along his own arsenal alongside Colins now modified baton as he went for the hangar.
"I guess we'll have to go through the training later." He thought to himself.
As he reached the hangar Lion deployed both of the hangar ramps, being unsure what side the welcome party would be on. He radioed Jeremy.
"Ramps deployed, security ready. Should I prepare groundside transportation?"[/QUOTE]
Jeremy heard his holo band, "I'll think Harken Saw might be expecting us, so probably not." Jeremy responded.
As soon as Colin heard the announcement, he made his way down to the Hangar Bay full of excitement. This was the first he had got off the ship as part of the crew and he was also curious to see what Lion had come up with for his baton. He arrived at the hangar and saw that some of his crew had already assembled.
After speaking with Sledge, Lion turned to Colin. "It seems that we'll have to finish the training once we get back. Here's something though..."
Lion produced Colins baton. It had undergone some visual changes although it looked mostly the same.
"I switched out the powercell to a prototype one developed by yours truly, which means that you can now dish out even more powerful jolts of electricity."
Lion turned on the baton, a vibrant sound was heard as the stun mechanism activated and emitted a faint blue light.
"I've also added a flashlight to the bottom of it. The net function has been reworked so it now fires a purely kinetic net, meaning that it's a energy net. The small red button at the top of the grip electrifies the net."
Lion handed over the baton. "Apart from that I also did some weight-tweaking while also switching out some of the materials, it should feel more lighter now. Also, I added in a wristband which prevents you from dropping it in combat by accident. Use it."
[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;47610196]Lion spotted Sledge and loosened up a little. "Yo Sledge!" Lion approached him and gave him a manly handshake-hug.
"You diggin' that new hammer?"[/QUOTE]
"You know it, brother!" Sledge bellowed as he brought it in for the brohug bump.
[Testosterone levels rising rapidly! :v:]
[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;47610836][Testosterone levels rising rapidly! :v:][/QUOTE]
((I like to think that when we brought it in there was a metallic clang as Sledge's figuratively iron body collided with Lion's literally iron one. :v:))
Yanim finished her meal before turning to Skada. "Velkar tekisk," she warned.
"<Behave yourself.>"
Skada's head tilted. The two then walked down to the hangar bay while Yanim was silently pleased with the fact that she had arrived so shortly after showering and changing clothes. No doubt, she looked quite professional. She hoped the rest of the crew had done the same.
Colin took the baton from Lion, put his wrist through the wristband before attempting to drop the baton. It was a simple feature but a heavily effective one that would be very useful. Colin then proceeded to slowly swing the baton and it felt much lighter than before. As much as he wanted to test out the net, he didn't want to zap Lion and Sledge so he promised to himself that he would test it out when possible.
"Thanks Lion. You seem to outdo yourself every time!" beamed Colin.
Sledge saw Yanim enter the Hangar Bay accompanied by her robotic fox companion. He'd seen the two spending a lot of time together and it made him a bit envious. He'd always wanted a pet. Maybe he'd find one on Termina Central...
Jeremy Spacehawk went to the hangar bay and noticed a couple of faces he was already familiar with. He yawned across the room and waited for anyone else to come.
"How's everyone doing? I've never seen a place like Termina Central before."
As soon as Viper received the message, the Sanghvi made haste to the hanger. Quickly making sure to have all suit systems ready in case of anything. As Viper first step into the hanger, taking a quick view to find that Lion was already position along with several other crew members.
Viper walked over to Jeremy, staying on alert. "Sir, I'm ready for anything. Just give me the words." Viper said to Jeremy.
[Doom Jeremy has been to the hangar before. (Rigel deployment.) IDK if that's what you meant...]
[Damn, I worded it wrong I meant Termina Central. I'll edit that.]
"So is this atmosphere breathable because I'm about to kick these bay doors open if we don't get moving!"
Sledge is impatient. >:c
Lion hit a button which caused the hangar doors to open up. After that the shields were lowered, revealing the interior of the Termina Central docking area that was sprawling with activity.
"You take point then." Lion motioned for Sledge to walk down the already deployed ramp.
Sledge had put his foot against the Hangar Bay door and pretended to kick it open like "PSHAAAOOOWWW"
"Alright, ladies and gentlemen and Viper, form on me and let's roll out! Welcome to Termina Central!"
Colin smirked as the hangar doors opened up and Sledge acted like his normal self.
"So this is Termina Central. This place already interests me and we haven't properly got off the ship. Hope it is as...ehm 'delightful' as it looks."
Iska arrived in the hangar with her gorka uniform and battle belt, but without weapons, instead a large khergian combat knife was swaying from her belt. She had searched the lockeroom and found a Archius patch that she had sewn onto her left shoulder and a personal name tag with her name in big letters on her breast. "Iska guessed kanad want partner to look professional, yes?" she said to Yanim with a smirk.
Skada ran happily in circles around Iskas legs and she had to be careful not to step on him.
Lion walked next to Sledge as they went down the ramp. A rather large group of soldiers and people in fancy uniforms were approaching.
They all wore HarkArks colors
"Iska guessed kanad want partner to look professional, yes?" Iska asked with presupposition. She was getting quite good at reading into Yanim's judgmental eyes. The latter pointed at the new nametag on Iska's outfit.
"At least they will know you can spell your name," she joked.
Iska chuckled. "Khergian use symbols, Iska had to look up letters" she said while proudly tapping her tag.
Jeremy walked out of the hangar along with his comrades who served in his line. "Now where is our escort..." He looked at his surroundings as he checked for any person who could guide them to see Harken Saw. Then he saw HarkArk soldiers along with a woman in front of the horde.
She stood and saw the Archius Crew from the distance. She frenzied out and told the soldiers to scatter in a comedic manner using her arms. She coughed a few times and already had sweat on her forehead.
She walked towards them and saw Jeremy in front, she extended her hand and gave a gentle smile. "It's nice to meet all of you. My name is Nicole Vara and I'm your escort to Harken Saw."
Jeremy gave out a smile also and extended his hand, giving a firm handshake as they got eye contact.
"Thank you, Ms. Vara I'd like for you to meet my crew."
As Viper stood upon the floor as the large reinforced doors of the hanger open, it all felt so familiar to Viper. From the doors creaking and scraping as they raised from the alarms ring and echo within the hanger.
It all reminded Viper of the days of the war. The time where Viper climbed into a fighter, checking all systems and weapons. Overlooking all other fighters in the squadron before doing a quick check on the status of there ships. Doing a full read though of the mission several times over. Waiting for sound of the siren and diving into the next battle. The constant feeling of always being on edge, where it all could end in a flash.
The sounds of the soft-carbon's banter took Viper out of it, Viper turn to do a quick check over the suit's system's. A fast overview of the all crewmember's vitals though the eyes of suit's visors. A full read though of all available information of the Oracle, of the Archius XI and the HarkArk. Doing all of it several times repentantly until Viper manage to finally clam down after the fifth time of looking at the the crew mate. Taking a moment to look over each one.
"Khergian use symbols, Iska had to look up letters," Iska replied.
"Human script is pain to deal with," Yanim sympathized. "Two sets of characters for all sounds, rules for capitalism... er- capitalization, I mean. Some words sound the same and are spelled totally different. Totally absurd. Backwards."

"I'm Sledge!" shouted Sledge without being asked.
