Rennac was more referring to how since they were integrated with her body whatever was causing the interference may not affect her sensors as adversely, though put the thought out of mind for now. He continued the search, looking under piece of wreckage after piece of wreckage. An idea suddenly dawned on him as he pulled up another piece of scrap. "Jack, Varus may be better off than we suspect. If he was able to get out of the seat and roll with the landing he could have gotten off with only minor injuries and went to cover while we were situating ourselves before. If you dont mind the suggestion, we could search from opposite sides of the rut made by the crash, looking from both sides for any sign of Varus in the wreckage while also keeping our eyes peeled for signs he had left and headed toward the colony or to find cover. Besides, if it turns out he did and we passed his trail then we will need to double back and spend time finding where he went." His opinion may not matter to them too much but he knew they had to take in any possibility.
Rennac looked to Jack as they seemed to (finally) get going on the mission. He was glad that they had started to get their shit together at least. Be held his pistol up and his knife in hand, ready for any surprises as he quickly made his way to the different pieces of wreckage and took a quick check at each spot that seemed likely to have Varus behind it. He also kept an eye out for large dirt mounds where he could have been buried in the crash. He wasn't gonna lie, he wasn't sure what kind of shape they'd find the captain or even if they'd find him in one piece. Only consolation was that the others couldn't blame him for their captain's death, least not if they had half a brain. He quickly got to Jackdaw and ran beside her. "Jackdaw, are your sensors picking up any signs? Your circuits are not like a standard wrist computer so you may have better luck in searching with them than the rest of us would."
Rennac rubbed the back of his neck in discomfort, not liking the tension rising in the air. He didn't like how an elite team were at eachother's throats and simply inched away toward where he would be heading anyway to search for Varus. To be honest he was slowly getting to be disappointed with this group, considering they could barely even form a plan without fighting amongst themselves. He was strongly considering transferring back to Black ops at the moment, knowing they at least knew to get their shit together. Sure, he would still do the job and maybe get their trust, but to be brutally honest he wasn't going to rely on them until they actually started to act like the elite team they were supposed to be.
Alright, this RP is pretty much dead. Just drop me.
Rennac turned to Six, a bit conflicted on his idea but steeled himself. "Six, whatever caused the crash is clearly either tech which I'll need to disable ASAP or it is some kind of phenomena which we'll need to analyse with scanners and other tech I can scavenge along the way. Whats more once we reach the colony, assuming Varus is still in fighting shape and has no serious injuries, we'll more than likely need to hack their systems to get in. In that regard I have the most experience out of anyone in this group. I may be classified as a techie but I've also been on more infiltration teams than I can count. I've been able to take care of myself and do my job on each one. Besides, we need someone who knows how to track for the simple fact that you know the tricks to shake people off your trail. Hay wont be able to go too fast and Ryder will be easy to track with his heavy gear. You'e the only one here other than Varus, me, or Taerys who has any infiltration experience, much less tracking. Taerys was ordered on ahead to the city before Varus was ripped out of the ship, Varus is MIA, and I'm the best man for dealing with any technical problems along the way. Even if we did switch roles you would be delayed by any more complicated encryptions and I would be at a severe disadvantage without any tech around. Jack's plan has each team working at top effectiveness while minimizing risk to everyone involved overall."
Rennac looked up to see Taerys coming over once she recovered from the crash, crawling back out with a few computer chips and parts tucked away in a bag for later. If there was still interference they would need to make a distress beacon that could pierce the field and reach out to the Dawn. He listened intently to the orders, noting how each of them was assigned and making mental notes of possible scenarios most of which ended very badly. Oh how he wished nothing bad happened from here. He was about to ask what order Jackdaw was talking about when he remembered what little Varus said before he was pulled out of the ship. It made sense to him at least. If Varus was in the same condition they were in it would be more than likely he would want Taerys to be an advanced scout while he, Rennac, and Jackdaw caught up and met up with her at the colony. He drew a single pistol with the silencer attached and held his knife in his opposite hand in a reversed grip, pressing the handle of his dagger against the side of the grip on his pistol so he could switch between the two quickly. If something was capable of crippling their ship he knew not to underestimate it, particularly their enemy's skill at surprise. Least if something snuck up on him and he heard he could deal with a close range threat.
One idea may be as a crew member of another vessel who came by to investigate the colony before crashing down. Say he is the only surviving member and he's been waiting for rescue. He shows he is capable and maybe Varus could have him assigned to the AD?
Rennac nodded, knowing that whatever was causing this they would.need to get to the colony first. If they were lucky the cause would.be there and they could destroy it. If not, he could at least build a scanner that might be able to locate the cause. For now he went back into.the ship, trying to salvage any tech components he could use and placing them into a pack.
Rennac cursed under his breath as all of the comms tests came back not only as negative, but completely unresponsive. He felt like throwing his helmet but kept himself contained for now. Panicking only made you an easier target. He came back over to Jackdaw, handing her one of the metal plates for the splint. "Just did a diagnostic on our comms system. Not only are we unable to hail the Dawn, but there is literally nothing. No static, no interference, just silence. It's like all radio wavelengths cease to exist outside our communication devices. So far, thinking the most likely cause is some sort of field interfering with electronics. If nothing else it seems Cybernetic systems work since your armor is still up and running. Hmm.." He was visibly thinking, figuring out what would keep the tech in their armors working while comm devices were outright unresponsive. It looked like he might be onto something but it was a long shot even if he had a workshop to make any modifications in.
Rennac was somewhat surprised he got even the slightest praise out of Jack, having figured he was at least taking a step in the right direction. Now he just had to make sure they all got out alive without him doing anything to lose whatever slight advantage he had. Figuring he had his two possibilities for how this phenomenon occurred he then knew he had to work from there. He began with a diagnostic of their comm systems, checking if they were dead outright or if there was interference. If nothing was affecting them than it was likely some sort of projectile based attack. If he had trouble getting through, then he had to assume it was some sort of field that caused the crash.
