[IC] The Incredible True Story

Helena’s hand was buried elbow-deep into the wall panel, still trying to open the door. Crew members finally heard the ruckus she was causing and rushed to open the door. It started creaking which snapped Helena out of her concentrated work on the door panel. She aimed her gun at the door expecting enemies to rush in at any moment. As more of the crew members joined in the effort to open the door Helena began making out some of the voices behind the door. Enough to realize it was her side that won the scuffle beforehand.

The creaking suddenly stopped and Helena heard gunfire. After a few shots the door slid open and the commander stood before her. The research lab was barely lit. Only the emergency lights and the hallway lights illuminated it.

“Figured as much. Glad we won.” She replied to the commander. “It seems we had the same idea about opening the door.” She glanced at the now hole-riddled door and joked, while still keeping a straight face.

“I was in the middle of testing a new railgun upgrade, which we could apply to our ship, when got fired upon. Drawing such ridiculous amounts of power from the reactor while under fire isn't such great idea. The power fluctuations overloaded my prototype. Essentially fried my entire lab. Wish I had some forewarning of the impending attack.” She explained rather annoyed that all of this could have been avoided, all the while she began walking next Nathan going wherever he was going.

“Any idea where Jack might be? I need new wiring for the lab and hopefully he’ll let me borrow a few engineers too. By the way, what the hell attacked us?”

Sera had managed to make her way to the ships cafeteria, she hadn't planned on grabbing any food but as she caught the scent of whatever the hell was being served her stomach began to rumble. She was walking with a brisk pace but very quickly careened into the small queue for food, she saw Reagen at the front, the bastard always had a way with devastating the waiting system they had in place. Which, Sera reckoned was good for her since they often took breaks at the same time. Although, this probably wasn't Reagens choice since Sera reckoned he daren't leave the engineering sector when she was on duty.

A small pile had accumulated on her plate when she sat down at a table, she had two choices - eat quick or end up binning it all if she was needed back in the pilots seat. She wanted to make it the former and began shovelling food down her gullet, taking only the occasional gasp for air.

"Glad to see you unharmed." Nathan said with a soft smile. Sorry about your tests. I wasn't anticipating getting a visit from the Espers. Nathan added with a chuckle. He returned to the commanding deck, seeing how close they were to their new destination.

The Pathfinder was finally arriving on a space station, desperate for repairs. Nathan got on the intercom to alert his crew. "We have arrived at the Warehouse. Feel free to rest and get off the ship. We leave once repairs are finished." Nathan announced, the Pathfinder touching down on a repair pad.

Nathan stayed on board, writing status reports back to the Babel Space Station. He was annoyed by the damage the ship took, but was glad nobody was seriously injured or dead.
