Before Meta could reply to anything the newcomers have said, several vessels materialized right outside his and could be seen from the hangar's transparent gate. Not even a second after the ships emerged, a notification appears on his HUD, carrying info about the ships. It appears that all of the vessels are armed, which is not especially good news for the piece of scrap metal floating through space named the "Tempest".

Realizing the bigger threat that's present, he calls off the Instigator, commanding it to disengage and return to its holding area. He faces the pair below him and says:

[b]Meta:[/b] I'm not going to fight you, but if you value your lives, come quietly and follow me.

He then turns around, returning his plasma rifle to its holder beside his jetpack and sprints towards the door, disappearing behind the cold steel doors. The Instigator then folds its guns and turns around, returning to where it came from. 

Running down the hallway while heading back towards the bridge, Meta opens his coms once again and contacts Niner.

[b]Meta:[/b] Status report now.

[b]Niner:[/b] Core is stable, we will be able to overload it with little risk.

[b]Meta:[/b] How long?

[b]Niner:[/b] Approximately 15 minutes sir.

[b]Meta:[/b] Better make it quick, we have more company.

He closed the coms and continued running down the steel gray hallways of the Tempest, rushing towards the bridge. It would take him at least 2 minutes more to reach the bridge, but a lot could happen in 2 minutes.
