[@Hokum]

The single ASP and the Instigator move back as Rufus seemingly phases through the force field and says something about wanting food. The combat droid keeps its cannons trained on Rufus, waiting only on the ASP's command as the droid focuses its main photoreceptor on Rufus and starts creating a message to send to Meta.

[b]ASP:[/b] Halt, or you will be terminated.

After a few seconds the ASP will have sent the message to Meta, and will observe Rufus until he arrives.

Instead of heading to the bridge, Meta instead travels to the level right below it, which is where his living facilities are located. Securely locking the durasteel door to the lower area, he feels safe taking off his helmet. He puts both his hand on the sides of the bucket as an audible hiss could be heard. He pulls his helmet off and leaves it on the steel black surface of his dining table. He walks over to a large reinforced steel door, entering a code on a keypad beside it before grabbing onto the handle and pulling it open, revealing a walk-in refrigerator stocked to the brim with all sorts of food, which fortunately seem untouched despite the earlier events. He moves inside the small room, looking around before reaching for one of the shelves and grabbing a gray tupperware. He exits the room, closing the door behind him walking over to the kitchen countertop. Meta transferrs the contents of the tupperware into a ceramic bowl, which is revealed to be fried rice, before placing the bowl into an empty steamer. He places the steamer on the stove before turning it on, and then places the tupperware into a washer.

While waiting for his rice, he pulls out the datachip from earlier, he inserts it into a nearby datapad of his own and accesses the files contained within. There he sees Dino's records in the Quatis military, including his apparent death and then rebirth using cybernetics. Meta was already formulating a plan in his mind, thinking of possible scenarios that could play out and what would be his best loadout for a mission such as this. An entry describing the admiral's firearm could also be seen there, apparently it had several different types of fire, with its deadliest being able to completely obliterate matter in a set area. Meta took note of this, even though his armor was near indestructible, their weapons could blast him apart in one shot no problem, thus he had to resort to evading any kind of fire instead. After about 15 minutes or so, he returned to the steamer and retrieved the bowl of rice. He grabbed a metal spoon before settling down on the dining table and eagerly eating his meal. The aroma and taste of the fried rice induce a calming sense in Meta, amidst all the chaos going on around him, good food always seemed to make him feel better. He continued studying Dino's file even while eating, for he could receive his coordinates at any time and be called into action. After finishing his meal, he received a comlink message from an ASP, detailing their capture of the mysterious individual he saw earlier before being teleported, and his breach of the force field. Meta let out a tired sigh, [i]Things seem to get more unusual every minute[/i] before returning the bowl and spoon to the washer, locking the freezer door and grabbing three loaves of bread from his pantry. He slipped his helmet back on, locking it once again as he walked to the doorway, pausing for a few seconds before leaving the area.

After a few minutes of walking, he arrives at the cell block, opening the doorway to reveal the ASP and the Instigator facing Rufus, he calls off the Instigator's weapons and steps in front of the two droids. 

[b]Meta:[/b] Return to your cell. Now.
