The halls of the base were fairly simple to navigate, as almost every end had a sign designating the areas. After a few left turns, the disguised duo would finally happen upon a hall designated as “Administration”. Towards the end of the hall there stood a Saiyan in front of a nice wooden door. The Saiyan was dressed in a pristine military uniform and examining a small pad to the side of the door. After grumbling a bit he would punch the wall next to the pad out of anger. He would turn to see the two disguised Saiyans. “Borage, Spinic, you guys have something you need to talk about?” The pad would beep, causing the man to slam his fist into the wall again. “Damn thing keeps saying I’ve already entered into my office. I’m tempted to just burst the door down…”
The hacking would take much longer than expected. Whatever sort of encoding system they used required an extensive amount of translation, as the coding was written in a seemingly alien language. After running thousands and thousands of variations, Doctor Grey would finally manage to find a proper work around from the Encoding system, downloading the files. Cloak Commando’s storage system was almost too small to capture the entirety of the files, leaving little more than a Megabyte of free space. Suddenly, loud banging would emanate near the wooden doorway. @cress zarun doctorgrey

What the hell, how could it be taking this long? Why the hell would they use this old dead alien language anyway?! I should be thankful that I read a book on Lost Alien Languages, but translating them into coding is extremely tedious. Wait I am in yes! Hm, that's a lot more data then I thought. Better send them to my computer right away to remove the burden on Cloak Commando's hard drive. However, due to the immense size of these files it will take quite a while for the data to get through. No matter that captain should be still stuffing his face at the mess hall he won't be here for a while. Dr. Grey thought.
Suddenly furious knocking is on the door. It must be the captain, he has been hacking for longer then he thought the Saiyan has already finished eating. Dr. Grey then took out the jack connected to the data pad and put it back onto his finger. He then placed the data pad on the desk and tried to position it in the correct position it was early to make it look like it was never touched. And had Cloak Commando walked and crouched in the corner to avoid detection in his rush as the Saiyan would knock that door down very quickly.
Cloak Commando needs to stay perfectly still to focus on transmitting the files to my computer. The cloaking device only requires to be switched on or off by the robot's brain so it being left on would not take any processing power. However, movement is a different story as it would have to process my commands through my controls to quickly do what I tell it to. It needs to stay still in order for it to focus on transmitting data, especially the elephantine amount it has stored up. I just need to hope that the Saiyan doesn't move to that spot or accidentally brushes against it and retaliates and then I can get the data onto my computer. Dr. Grey thought.Word Count: 343 Tag: Andrew C. Creed , zarun , @cress

Hesitation was the mark of an amateur soldier. Any measure of time down to the smallest unit was crucial in a high stakes situation. Only to the trained eye of a military man such as the traitorous captain could Null's faltering steps at the sight of him be a dead giveaway that something was amiss. Occupied with the command console of his office, however, it possibly went unnoticed. Hoping Zarun would follow his lead, Null shouldered his rifle and slouched his shoulders, adopting a lumbering gait where he practically dragged his feet in a lazy manner as they approached the uniformed man, trying to seem as normal as possible. "Do that, Cap'n, and one of us will be assigned to fix it. Permish to speak plainly, sir? This lot can barely hit a target with these rifles. I doubt any of us are mechanically inclined enough to fix that door for ya." He tried to adapt the same casual, friendly lilt in his tone the other soldiers spoke with. It was not easy for Null as he was not one often prone to idle humors. Even this farce was starting to irritate him. Stepping around the captain, Null pounded the flat of his fist against the door. Three sharp knocks, slow enough to seem out of the ordinary. It should get Cloak's attention. "Hey! Any... invisible... baddies in there better clear out before Cap'n gets his hands on ya!" He spun to the captain, tossing up a lazy salute. "No worries. If anyone's in there, we'll blow 'em to kingdom come. Let us handle this -- some kinda racket was kicking up in the cafeteria a moment ago. You may be the only one strong enough to stop it. We'll watch the door until you get back... catch any little weasels tryin' to sneak out while you're gone."It was a thin ploy, but if his act was convincing enough, it would work. Not only would they get rid of the Captain and play to his pride and ego as the only one able to stop a fight brewing elsewhere, but Cloak Commando was hopefully wise enough to surmise that it was, indeed, his allies outside of the office door and let them inside.

Sparg would look at Borage and Spinic with a bit of confusion evident. “What the hell are you talking about? We got Lentus to fix any damage to the walls and doors. You get hit in the head or something when you were patrolling?” He would start tapping on the door keypad whilst Null knocked on the door. Another loud beep would cause Sparg to cuss under his breath. “Stop knocking on the damn door” The Captain would sigh and squeeze the bridge of his nose. The Captain only seemed to get more frustrated as Null described something happening in the cafeteria. More annoyances to pack onto this already shitty night. “Fine, I’ll go deal with it. I’ll get Lentus while I’m at it, he’ll be able to fix this crap lock” The Captain would make an about face before walking in almost perfect cadence to the Cafeteria. This would buy the trio a few minutes or so. Zarun would state he would keep watch while Null entered the room, assuming that Cloak Commando would allow them in. Even with the obvious knocking, Null’s voice was still disguised as a soldiers. The younger Saiyan would stand outside the office with his arms crossed, hoping the Captain wouldn’t return too early. @cress zarun doctorgrey |

When one of the Saiyans he was working with knocked on the door with a conspicuous clue to Cloak Commando's existence he put his hand onto his face at the sheer ignorance that is being displayed here. He might as well sell him out now while he is at it. His bad acting isn't helping much either. Luckily, it seems that the captain is about as dimwitted as he is. And that the Saiyan provided the distraction he needed. This should provide some interesting data to note when making the AI for Cloak Commando to allow it to learn from Dr. Grey experienced. Of course it would also need to be able to learn and adapt to his situations as they all won't be like this.
Finally all of the files have been sent to Dr. Grey's computer, luckily it didn't cost much memory space as it did for Cloak Commando as this computer was top of the line and put most Earth super computers to shame. With these blueprints he can help improve the Galactic Empire's defenses and use this so called Continuum's weapons against should the time come for the two factions to fight since they seem to be interested in taking over the universe. The Galactic Empire shall be the one that stands above all others for Polaris' sake, bless his soul. His strategic mind and resolve was not enough against the more powerful Lord Snow, son, and their pet Majin. He really wished he got to know him better and could work for him longer he found him quite fascinating in a psychological sense, but he shall continue in spirit.
With the files sent Cloak Commando got up and uncloaked, but before he got to the door to let the other Saiyan in he went to the data pad to close the message made by this Kiwin individual. It could cause him to catch on and get angry at the Chronos Organization and would tempt him to fight Captain Aprypot. With the tech and coding they have these Saiyans shouldn't be picking fights with someone with minds equal to their might. He then walked to the door and let his accomplice him. He tried to speak, but remembered he turned the mic off. And after doing so he began to speak from the beginning and shown his accomplice a glimpse of the Data Pad and the blueprints off of it.
"While infiltrating this building I learned of the turret defense system which only allowed the captain pass and scans for his DNA. I procured a strand of his hair to utilize to bypass the defenses and obtained the Data Pad. It appears to contain blueprints of various equipment and weapons the Chronos Organizaiton made that Captain Aprypot works for and that the Raven Guard stolen. If the Raven Guard had learned how to make these weapons from this blueprints it would've been quite catastrophic. Thankfully we managed to get it in time, I have built in compartments to store various items that I would need to take or use. So I shall be holding on to the Data Pad so we can bring it back." Cloak Commando explained.
A door opened in his torso where a stomach would be and he put the data pad inside.
"Now we must leave before they catch on." Cloak Commando said.

Null cringed at the dead monotonous tone Cloak Commando addressed him in. He was grateful for the helmet concealing his features. Though robots did not possess self-awareness, the puppeteer behind the proverbial curtain sure would. As far as Null could tell, this bot was the only reason this mission had any measure of success. "Yeah... sure... whatever. Let's get going." Cloak weirded him out. There was no other way around it. Heading back out into the hall, he nodded at Zarun and led the way down the corridor, back the way they came. He picked up his pace as he hurried past the cafeteria, where Sparg was demanding to know who had started the ruckus. Most of the soldiers seemed confused, which only led to the Captain's frustration. Null caught the tail end of the tongue lashing he was giving the men as they rounded the corner, heading for the main entrance. If anyone wondered about the brisk manner in which the two men (sans Cloak Commando, who had probably re-engaged his invisibility cloak), none of the other patrols spoke a word. They neared the main entrance. A panel slid open on the wall before them, scanning their suits (and thankfully, unable to detect the third intruder). Doors slid open with a steel rasp, and Null hustled out into the warm night once more, hoping his companions were trotting close behind. |

Null would be stopped just short of exiting through the doorway by an Armored Raven Guard soldier, standing just outside. The HUD of Null and Zarun’s helmets stated this was their Superior officer, Lieutenant Korrat. The Saiyan’s armor was fairly damaged from their fight only moments ago. As swiftly as he could, Korrat aimed a strike straight at Null’s head, nearly cracking the helmet under it’s force. He would then do the same to Zarun only a split second later. The helmets had enough padding to keep the strike from causing any serious harm, so the strike was more of a cathartic act for Korrat than anything else. “That was for attacking my men. Now let's get the hell out of here before people start asking questions” Behind Korrat would be a small patrol ship, Yarrow could be seen in the cockpit piloting the craft. “I convinced Borage to remove the tracking device on the ship. It won’t get us too far, maybe to the nearest inhabited system. I don’t know who you are but I’m guessing you came for that stupid data pad. The Raven Guard will hunt you down to the ends of the universe to get it back, and they’ll most likely try killing us for helping you. You can explain who you work for once we leave Atmo” The Patrol Ship’s door would open as Korrat turned. “Oh, Borage and Spinic are going to want their armor back”@cress zarun doctorgrey

Well, this seemed to be an interesting development. Suddenly one of the Saiyans Null and Zarun were supposingly fighting earlier to steal their armor from to infiltrate the base just showed up to knock them out, and then makes a complete turn and helps them. What happened back there to make them turn traitor. Although considering that the Saiyan Dominion has completely changed and Queen Radia dead, their morale isn't as high as it used to be. Perhaps Null and Zarun being fellow Saiyans managed to help convince them to stop fighting and let them pass. In any case it matters not, as Dr. Grey as the data on his computer, so if they want it back to keep it out of the Chronos Organization hands might as well pass it on to them as they probably know the dangers of keeping it.
Cloak Commando entered the ship and uncloaked.
"Do not be startled, I am merely a stealth android sent here on behalf of my creator. Since we are alone I might as well be more truthful. I was sent by a brilliant scientist working for the Galactic Empire. Each of us three received a statement from a group called the Chronos Organization on how the Raven Guard stolen an important data pad from them. I have the data pad, but if you intend on taking it back from us just know that would make the Chronos Organization angry at us and potentially have them target us. Although we could say that a rogue group of Raven Guard soldiers stole the Data Pad from us and got away, but doing so would put your lives at risk and there is no guarantee they would believe us and go after you and would assume we are keeping the data pad for ourselves and kill us." Doctor Grey explained.
While some of what he said is true he didn't trust everyone here well enough to tell them about his true identity. After all what would stop them from simply finding and hunting the defenseless Dr. Grey down. They especially do not need to know about how he has the data now and intends on sharing it with the Galactic Empire. That technology could be helpful in rebuilding it during the confusion of the loss of a leader. He is not willing to let this empire die just as he recently joined it, he refuses to go back to Earth the empire is where he belongs now it's where he is needed.Word Count: 420 Tags: Andrew C.

Null removed his helmet, shoving it into Borage's chest as he climbed aboard the transport. Once all of them were aboard, the ship jetted off, the Raven Guard base becoming little more than a speck on the horizon, lost amid the thick vines and twisted roots of the marshy pits of Atmo. Good riddance, if he had anything to say about it. His jaw ached where Korrat had sucker punched him. Null glared at the Lieutenant, though remembering the golden aura that had briefly enveloped the man, thought better against retaliation. "Cloak's right. You guys aren't as invisible as you might think. If Chronos comes for me, you had better believe, I'll make sure to blow the whistle on your entire operation... Lieutenant."He stepped past Korrat, bumping his shoulder hard against the other man's. Try as he might, he could not keep himself from antagonizing their would be saviors. Their battle in the swamp remained indecisive. And it irritated Null to think that this man might possess the strength to become one of the powerful legendary Super Saiyans. What about himself? Was he not strong? Had he not fought, tooth and nail, to increase in power to some day surpass Queen Radia herself? It was a subject for a different day. Offering a thumbs up to Yarrow, Null stripped away the rest of the armor, tossing it at Borage. "Just get us out of here, will you? And... thanks... I guess."He would say nothing more, checking on Zarun as the youth had grown rather quiet. The transport bumped along, hovering just a foot or so off the ground as Yarrow guided them to safety, away from the prying eyes and ears of their enemies. |

Korrat would remove his helmet, revealing his scarred face. If one were to guess, they’d probably be reasonable in assuming all the Saiyans had scarred faces, their rewards for battle. He would set the helmet to the side before cracking his neck and look out the cockpit window. “No need to be pissy, uh, whatever your name is. I don’t give two craps about Chronos, most of us didn’t care about them even when we were in The Raven Guard. Hell, we barely knew anything about them aside from their various proxy attacks against The Dominion. Even those were suspect. We’ll have enough trouble with The Raven Guard as it is” Korrat would turn and point Borage over to a room. “We’ll probably go and do some mercenary work. Maybe settle down. Yarow was telling me about a fairly large farming planet that he was thinking about bringing his family to. They could use some protection”
Korrat would stand and cross his arms. His gaze would fall on the room he pointed Borage to. “Spinic wasn’t happy about this. He’s a bit difficult when it comes to change. But given his lack of a leg, he can barely move now. Adrenaline is a hell of a thing in a battle. Crazy bastard was always too stubborn to give up on a fight” Korrat would turn to Null. “Just tell us where to drop you off at. And don’t mention it. We haven't saved a person in a long time, it’s a nice change of pace”@cress zarun doctorgrey
