Hearing the channel open and a voice from the comm officer aboard the NOAH gave Katya a small sense of relief.  They were told to leave and better yet they were getting reinforced. For a moment she the relief was something she was happy to feel. But it was short-lived as the comms opened up again with comm officer telling the team the Sargent had been badly injured and the in just over in 10 minutes the station was going to be surrounded by a Cruxi fleet. 

To Katya she took they needed to hurry, or they’d be left behind or destroyed. Ethier fate sounding most unappealing. So she made her drone working on at double their pace focusing on power and life support. If they could though the front entrance she knew their escape route would be much short than the route in. So much so they might make it in time. 

Katya had just managed to get her drones to restore power to Atty’s basic systems as Black Star and Eiswolf arrived. Katya pleased to have the back up as it would make escape so much easier. With badly damaged squadmates. Sure was unsure of their chances. There was still a bucket load of Cruxi in between her and the exit point. Cruxi she hoped that had just been cleared. 

Katya was about to give out order when Sigma better her too it. The young woman scowling annoyed by how Sigma gave orders like she was in command. However, knew there was no time to make a point and tell her off. She was right, and her order where the identical to the ones she would have issued so let it slide. 

So doing as she was told Katya made Caretaker walk over to the dead elite. Looking at it she gave it a cautionary poke with her rifle while scanning it. Just to make sure it was really dead. Not trusting it for a moment. Corps or not she would prefer to simply leave this thing behind. However, she could see the benefits of bringing it back. It would make for quite prize and the secrets it could unveil of Cruxi Technolgy were quite numerous. Part of Katya wishing she’d get spend a little time with remains to strip it and tinker. However knew that would never happen. Still, a girl could dream.

Pretty sure the elite was dead Katya went to grab her collar only to realise it was not where it should have been. 
[color=Fuchsia]“Crap, no time to look for it. You had better be dead or not start doing weird things.”[/color] She muttered holstering her rifle into the mag lock that sat ran along the right side of Caretakers back. Hoping she wouldn’t need to fight given she was out of combat drones. So was defenceless without her rifle.

Making Caretaker squat down she made the werk grab hold of the dead Elite and brought it over Caretaker left shoulder. Using both hand to keep hold of it and keep it stable. With that she brought Caretaker back to full height. Listing to the servo motors in the werks legs whine and groan and Caretaker stood, struggling to get the werk up right with the extra weight. Once upright Katya made Caretaker move as quickly as the machine could manage. Hoping the extra weight would not slow the werk too much. Katya having no wish to die on some station surrounded by Cruxi.
 

The Drones on Atty kept working away at the battered werk. Katya not bothering to recall them. Having restored power to Atty’s basic systems, the drones had started to follow the basic repair program fixing anything they could find as best they could. One drone following this soon found itself on Black Star detecting the damaged leg. Although unable to properly repair with werk on the move drone started to do what it could.
