“Best do as the strange talking robot thing says Boss.” 

Boss could just hear Ted say from behind while doing his best to tear his eyes away from the large patches of exposed wire and circuits visible in the thing that called itself C3-405. Giving a slight nod in agreement Boss quickly shot back “Yeah, for now anyways. Go hold up in the cabin with Cat till this all gets sorted out though, allright?” The way Boss spoke it was clear this wasn't a question.

“Sure thing, Boss.” Ted croaked while giving a far to enthusiastic salute before scurrying off. Boss simply shook his head in silent humor.

Turning his attention back to the mechanical thing hailing them from the port Boss did his best to follow all the rigorous instructions shouted towards him-in turn he then shouted (his rough voice reaching levels far louder then it had any right too) the orders towards Cat and Ted, both of whom sat in the relative safety of the locked metal. 

Just as Cat rather skillfully guided their large clumsy barge into the set aside brig the sound of Artillery ripped through the air, clearly coming from somewhere not to far off. Despite whatever happened next Boss had to admit one thing: he'd be glad to get off that damn river for a while.
