[color=darkgoldenrod][i]I have to admit, our last member knows how to make an entrance[/i][/color] Benny thought as the strange lady arrived in a transport shuttle blasting old music at full volume. The Dalentian woman seemed to address her concerns so the rest of the introduction was left to Dawson's tour.

They had a few interesting members along for the ride, the Dalentian being the least strange. They had a Kzargett with them, he couldn't tell if their chef was even human under all that armor, and they even had one of those mushroom-driven walking corpses. Benny didn't like being kept on a leash, but he had to admit that this was one of the most interesting jobs he'd ever been contracted for. Normally he'd be more cautious around new faces, but he figured that since he was going to be stuck with this team for god-knows-how-long then he might as well be open with his thoughts, at least until someone tells him to shut his mouth.

They were led through the ship from the bottom to the top, with the different locations on the deck being explained by Dawson. When an old research lab was mentioned, Benny perked up. [color=darkgoldenrod]"I hope you lads don't mind if I move most o' my tools and substances into the lab area, be a lot easier to craft my explosives from there than in my room."[/color] Benny announced. It was then that he realized that he never did explain to this crew of criminals what he was recruited for. [color=darkgoldenrod]"Ach! Right, forgot to mention who I am to all of ya'. The name's Benny Boomer: Bomb connoisseur and technical expert. If any of ya' need to get in somehwere you ain't supposed ta' be in, my friend Skelly and I have you covered. Just let me know if you want a loud or quiet entrance."[/color] Benny said, introducing himself during one of Dawson's pauses.

After most of the tour had been completed, Dawson briefed them on their first assignment inside the ship's CIC. Apparently, they were to destroy a space station belonging to the Helsin Mining Corporation, under suspicion that it was spying on The Alliance for The Federation.

[color=darkgoldenrod]"Well what'da'ya know? Nevar thought I'd be screwin' with these jackasses again. I doubt Helsin will be happy to see my charmin' face again if they still remember me from Yggdrasil Minor. Really did a number on one of their ground facilities..."[/color] Benny thought out loud, remembering the clusterfuck of a heist he pulled on one of their mineral storage plants.

[color=yellowgreen]"If we need extra information, we could always capture someone who knows and let me look into his mind. I’m effective at that."[/color] The Dalentian said. The woman had mentioned earlier that she could read minds so getting information from a captive should be no problem for her. Benny thought that having her around would make interrogations a lot simpler.

[color=yellowgreen]"So, infiltrate a vessel that is heading in towards the facility and then somehow use it to destroy the base from inside?"[/color] Lataniva continued

[color=darkgoldenrod]"If we kidnap someone involved in the facility it would haf'ta be someone important enough to know how the station works. I've dealt with this corporation before, and they keep a lot o' information secret from most workers, and even some higher staff."[/color] Benny replied. He then thought for a moment before continuing. [color=darkgoldenrod]"A vessel hijack may be our best bet. Helsin Mining is serious when it comes to security especially in neutral regions so our ship will jus' get blasted apart. If you can get me inside their main security office, or better yet the office o' the facility head, I can get every last bit o' information about the station that we migh' need to sabotage it. May even be able to wreak havoc on their security systems while I move around once I establish a wireless link."[/color] Benny said, highlighting the uses the crew might be able to get out of his skills so that they don't send him somewhere he shouldn't be.

[color=burlywood]”Heh. Being forced into this is turning out to be great, don't 'cha think, guys?"[/color] The strange yet oddly cheerful woman said. [color=burlywood]"I just wanna announce that the unused spaces in the lower deck has already been claimed, okay? So, what now?”[/color] She continued. Benny turned towards her before replying.

[color=darkgoldenrod]"Personally I'd feel a lot better if we had some semblance of a plan before we get to fixin' our gear, since I dunno if I trust whoever they assigned to make a good plan for us, but I guess that depends on whether our commander gives a shit about what the rest o' us think about this assignment."[/color] Benny said as he slung his still-detached bionic arm over his right shoulder while turning to Stryker. Benny didn't like the idea of that guy being in charge, especially since Stryker already made it very clear that he wanted nothing to do with them, but if Benny knew the Alliance, then he knew that rules were rules. He'd follow the guys orders, but they never said that he had to pretend to like it
