Neil kicked off with her, still not entirely certain the Xenonid had not poked any holes in his suit despite the fact it read all clear. He guessed being in a dead ship full of corpses made him a bit paranoid. He was parallel to Sayeeda as they sailed down the shaft, gaining speed ever so lightly in the void. It was actually kind of relaxing, even though they would pass open doors every now and then. Doorways that gave Neil glimpses of what looked to be bloated corpses or bodies torn in two, along with a few dead Xenonids lodged within them. 

"I will be glad when we make money some other way." Neil said through his comm, glancing Sayeeda's way as they continued to shoot through the darkness of the shaft. 

"We're approaching the target." He heard her reply. "I'll be glad when we get the hell out of here." 

"It's not so bad in here, as long as we got some light." Neil said, looking upwards just in time for his light to reveal a shrieking Xenonid, spasming in the darkness, causing both of them to have a sudden chill run up their spines. Luckily, neither of them were close enough to the dying creature to get caught by its arms. Neil did give it the finger however, though he yelped when he felt Sayeeda's arm grab onto him as she caught the door they needed to enter. 

He was whipped about, but caught himself and climbed up with her to enter the engine sector. They were at the end of a dimly lit hallway, some of the lights still functional it seemed. Beyond the hall, the blast doors were opened. They at least, looked to be disfunctional. Neil smiled to Sayeeda, despite the bullet wound that had still yet to be properly attended on the left side of abdomen. "Watch my ass," he told her with a wink. 

They made it down the short corridor into the engine room. It looked oddly reminiscent of the Aelahyne control room on Sevran, though far more human and utilitarian in its structure. Yet the truly massive engine was at the center of a large room, the engine itself located within a sloping structure. Neil had seen its like before in large humans vessels, but he had never put two and two together. He wondered if the ancient ones and humanity ever had contact beyond superficial greetings. 

The engine blinked red on a beacon located on its top right. Neil took out his toolkit and unlatched the front panel of the engine. "Alright baby let's go to work."
