Meta couldn't believe it, he had just saw Jezebel's signal disappear, reappear and disappear once again entirely. Another message had also been received when she reappeared, saying that she has "unloaded inside of him". Another odd choice of words, but what really raced through Meta's mind was [i]what did she unload?[/i] He then used the terminal to check the Tempest's security systems and watched the live camera feed overlooking the hangar.

[b]Meta:[/b] Oh no.

Two people had appeared inside the hangar bay, what looked like a male and a female. This was the last thing he had wanted, not only did the Jezebel not give aid, but it also dropped two new unwanted passengers. Meta rose from the chair and grabbed his ME-622 plasma rifle and walked out of the bridge heading towards the hangar. He then opened the coms on his helmet, and set the channel to the ship's droid crew.

[b]Meta:[/b] Niner, do you read me?

A jumbled sound that sounded like Morse code was heard, before a deep artificial voice set in.

[b]Niner:[/b] Affirmative sir, what are your orders?

Niner was the lead ASP-160 repair droid of the ship, programmed as the "leader" of the droid crew.

[b]Meta:[/b] Give me the status of the remaining droids.

[b]Niner:[/b] Three ASPs including myself fully operational. One instigator ready to be deployed, the rest are offline. 

[i]At least they had a few remaining...[/i]

[b]Meta:[/b] I need you to grab the other ASPs and head to the engine room. Try and shift the reactor into maximum overdrive to see if we can get another hyperspace jump ready.

[b]Niner:[/b] I advise against that sir, overloading the reactor could cause a meltdown and destroy the ship.

[b]Meta:[/b] We don't have any other choice Niner, unless you have any brighter ideas?

[b]Niner:[/b] Negative, we will commence immediately. I will report to you once we are ready.

[b]Meta:[/b] Oh, and another thing. Send the Instigator to the Hangar Bay will you? We have some surprise guests aboard the ship.

[b]Niner:[/b] Order received, routing Instigator unit 002 to the Hangar Bay now.

He then closed the com channel and rechecked his blaster to see if it was functional. He was already nearing the hangar bay and was ready to deal with his new "guests". He stopped right before opening the door to the area, checking the feed through his HUD, he saw the two figures on the ground seemingly lying down, with the male lying on top of the female figure.

He opened the door and stepped onto the platform overlooking the whole area. He could see the pair down below with no sign that the ship was even here. He stopped before the railings and raised his rifle, taking aim at the figures. He then raised his helmet's voice amplifier and said:

[b]Meta:[/b] Who are you and what are you doing on my ship?

Right after he said it, a door on the opposing side of the hangar opened as the Instigator moved inside. Its four mechanical, spider-like legs carried it onto another platform before it deployed its dual laser cannons and aimed both of them at the pair.
