Hyperion, Greenleaf; February 4th 2523
The crew had been escorted back to the Hyperion by Jamison's men and were now sitting around in the Galley waiting for Jamison to arrive and help them set up a plan to confescate the goods from the rival cartel. Layla and Cadan hadn't shown back up at the ship yet. The Cartel members were spread out through out the ship and had taken the weapons from the crew members.
All the crew was sitting in the Galley waiting to see where they were going to be doing from here. If all went well they would be either able to get the goods with little issue or find a way to get themselves out of the situation. Three of the seven armed guards where in the room with them, along with the injured facilirty workers.

Amaya and the others had been back at the ship for about twenty minutes at this point, just waiting for Jamison to show up. Amaya was nervous about it all. She wanted this thing to be over and done with. "So Alastair how do you know these guys, old friends of your apparently?" She tried to joke around and keep herself and everyone else calm.
it was an uncomfortable situation to say the least. She was determined to find a way to fight out of the situation, though she wasn't much of a fighter. Killian, Friedrich and assumidly Ms. Clay as well. She was the brains here so she needed to figure out some way to get them armed and able to retake the ship.
Amaya turned and looked to the oneof the guards. "Can a lady us the rest room or do I need an escort for that?" The guards were not ammused with the comment at all. "No one goes anywhere till the boss gets here. Period." He replied as he leaned against the door from. So much for that idea.

The whole situation was ridiculous. The idea of working for the cartel that was about to kill them just for the sake of killing them was not something Friedrich could easily accept. It was certainly better than getting overrun and killed but that didn't mean he was grateful for the opportunity.
The 'deal' was pretty ridiculous too. Apparently the little mission they had in mind was too much for a heavily armed cartel with at least a dozen armed thugs to do but now they were going to send in a small ship crew most of whom were not fighters. That's all that made the cartel's actions make sense. It was most likely a suicide mission so it would accomplish the same goal as them just killing the crew back at the medical facility except this time there was a slim chance of profit and if not then the casualties inflicted by the crew would be on an enemy cartel and not their own.
Finally, it was ridiculous that they were being held captive in their own ship like this. Friedrich didn't like being kept waiting especially not at gun point. If they had to do this job for the cartel it was best to get it over with rather than being held up for no apparent reason.
"Can I get a veapon zen?" Friendrich asked after Amaya's request was shot down. "I don't know vat dumbkopf vud send us out against ze enemy unarmed." Of course he was expecting to be denied even if there was truth in his statement. He just wanted the chance to vent his frustration at their captors and give them a hard time.

As the others began to chime in Alastair was quick to follow suit. "Friedrich is right, you can't send us in on armed. If you want this job done me need to be able to do it right." Alastair stood up and began to apporch one of the guards. "Tell Jamison to get his Chwen down her soe we can settle this..." He was cut off before he could finish when the guard raised his rifle at him and spoke over him. "Just calm the rutten hell down and have a seat."[/color]
"Alright, alright no need for over reacting." Alastair said as he sat back down. This was going to be a hard situation but the good thing was they weren't actually completely unarmed. Alastair was always the paranoid type, especially on worlds he had ruffled feathers before. He knew there was a gun hidden in the stoarage crate in the kitchen area in the Galley. They didn't have a cook there till Layla arrived and she hadn't had time to go through and find it. Hell she hadn't even been to the ship yet. Odds were that her and Cadan weren't going to ever be on the ship. If he were them he wouldn't have come back after how things went down in the first place.
"Least you could do is let us make some food. I promise we won't even use a kitchen knife to make anything." He slowly stood back up waiting for them to tell him to sit back down. Luckily for him they didn't make mention of it. "Killian, care to help me wipe something up?" Even Killian didn't know he had stashed the gun there but soon enough they would have thier hands on it, it wasn't enough for them to take on the whole group but it was a start they would just need a distraction.

Killian just sat there as the others made their offers to try and find a way to get an upper hand. He knew they were better off just waiting for this Jamison guy to show back up then they could either complete the job they wanted done or they could try to retake the ship once they got their hands on some sort of weapons to do the job.
When Alastair finally got himself a way to get up Killian knew something was up. He hadn't known the man personally very well but thanks to Amaya he knew alot of his history. Alastair and Amaya had known each other for some time now and she was able to give him quiet the list of details on his past. "Not a problem Mr. Quinn, lets see what we can wipe. up"
Killian walked over in to the kitchen and started looking around, just trying to keep it as if they were really looking to cook something up. Killian also took the chance to see out in the hall way and se if there were any more guards around. As far as he could tell there were only three of them in the area. If Alastair had some plan they might be able to handle three of them if they could catch them off guard.

as the others prepared to get up and make some food Amaya turned herself around to face the back of her seat. one leg on either side of the back of the seat. "Well gentleman it would have been far more interesting had we decided to do this little meeting down by the weapons lockers. We could have had plent to do then." She told them with a smirk.
She was determined to find a way to get past the guards or distract them in some way. She miled at the guard at the door. The guards though were not reacting to anything they had to say of course. They seems pretty well trained to keep themselves from being distracted. she leaned forward over the back of the chair looking at one of the guards. "You know we could always find somewhere to talk just you and me. Then we won't be distracted with all this guarding us stuff."

As they got closer to the ship Ezekiel made sure he was ready for the job at hand. He pulled out his smg and tactical knife. He attached his silencer and grabbed a couple extra mags just incase more of the cartel men had shown up. when they got close to the ship Ezekiel said"Okay stop here we should go by foot so we can be as quit as possible." they made there way over to the ship and quietly got into position. They where going to enter the ship by using the air lock close to the bridge, "I'll go first to make sure the coast is clear" Ezekiel opened the air lock hatch as without making a sound he started down the ladder, when he was in the room he peered through the small window in the door and could see an armed man. Hoping that this wasn't a crew member he opened the door and closed the gap quickly, grabbing the mans head and snapping his neck quickly. He pulled out his knife and checked the rest of the rooms on this level to make sure they where clear. After clearing the rooms he started down the stairs silent as a mouse, he checked his corn while descending the stairs and saw a guard. Ezekiel jumped off the side of the stairs in front of the man cutting both femoral arteries and then grabbing his mouth and spinning him around he stabbed him in each lung and slit his throat, knowing that his death would be quick he slumped him over to the side and drew his smg. Then he entered the galley where he saw two cartel members he quickly took aim at the one across the way making a perfect site picture taking one shot right between the eye's then he swung the smg toward the other man in the corner of the room.

The others were clearly going to try something. Alastair and the captain were up and fooling around in the kitchen and now Amaya was trying to distract the guards with her charms. Both efforts for freedom seemed far too obvious and unlikely to succeed. Unless someone had a weapon secretly hidden someplace then all they were doing was creating a distraction. Friedrich had nothing stored away and no tricks up his sleeve to add to the uncoordinated attempts at freedom. He simply sat and waited for opportunity to present itself whether it was the others doing something unexpected or their captors doing something stupid.
The moment came soon enough. It was neither the guards nor the crew that presented the opportunity even though their distractions probably contributed to its success. Seemingly out of nowhere, a man entered the room and opened fire on their captors. Friedrich dove, tackling the man who had been shot first. Clearly the man was dead, shot right in the head, but neutralizing the guard was not the purpose of the mechanic's movements. Yes, this stranger was killing the cartel guards but there was no guarantee he wasn't on a third side entirely and would turn his weapon on the unarmed once the cartel was eliminated. There were of course multiple competing cartels on Greenleaf that wouldn't hesitate to take out the competition.
Friedrich hit the deck, flipping onto his back and rolling the dead guard's corpse on top of his body as a shield. He had already liberated the guard's weapon and now had it trained on their new 'friend.' "Who are you vith?" Friedrich asked of the man as soon as all the cartel guards in the galley were down. "I appreciate ze assistance but I haf spent enough time today mit strange men zat ver pointing veapons at me."

Once Ezekiel got a good sight picture he pulled the trigger and shot him between the eyes, killing him instantly. As he was shooting the last cartel member he saw a man going for the other gangster that he had already killed. The man then took the cartel members gun and rolled the dead cartel member on top of himself as a human shield, pretty cleaver. Then the man pointed the cartel members gun at him, and began speaking in what Ezekiel thought was a German accent. Upon seeing the gun being pointed at him Ezekiel quickly moved to the left to take cover behind the door frame." I'm with Cadan and Layla."

Cadan followed in behind Ezekiel just after he dispatched the threat in the room. It was incredible what he was able to do, almost friegtening really. "oi, he's wif us. I brought 'im 'ere" He explained to the others as he dropped the bag and walked in. They had to act quick at this point The gun would have no doubt set the other intruders off and they would be racing there way at this point.
Cadan opened the bag up and pulled a pistol from inside it. He had seen what was being carried in the back just before they entered the ship. He tossed the gun over to Killian so they he would be armed as well and it seemed Alastair and Friedrich had found themselves weapons as well. Layla of course had her pistol on her and had given Cadan on of them as well. He grabbed one more weapon out of the bag and sent it flying to Amaya so that the crew was armed and ready. THen he waited to see what Killian's orders would be.

before Alastair could even react the new person who had just entered took out everyone in the room that was a hostile. at about the same time as friedrich Alastair went for the gun he had hidden in the place and pointed it at the man. lucky for them all Cadan was quick to step in and let him know that the man was not a threat.
"There is still four others outside this room that will be on us soon. We need to get ready for that." Cadan had already covered that angle as well and was passing out guns to the unarmed crew. There wouldn't have to much time till Jamison was back on board the ship as well and he would be coming with plenty of his own men. They needed to get this place cleared and out in the air. "Cadan your with me let's get this bird moving."

" i still have a few things in the vehicle out side we can dispatch the rest on board quickly and then i will go and fetch my gear, wont take more then two minutes' Ezekiel said as he started to head toward the back end of the ship quickly clearing each room as he went. hoping that some of the people would fallow him but ready to do it alone if need be. Ezekiel seemed to take a shine to this crew and he would be damned if those cartel men where going to hurt any of them.

Killian watched as the scene unfolded before his eyes. an unknown person had showed up to help them. It didn't take long till it was revied that his new pilot was the one who had arranged this turn of events. "Go Alastair get us moving."
He turned to face the new fellow and walked out to the door where he was standing with the gun in hand. "lets clear this place out." He told him as he began to walk down the hall to head for the Cargo bay. the most likely place for the others to be before he could get there though a shot rang out from that direction. It nearly hit Killian and the noise sent him charging to one side for cover. He returned fire in the direction of the shot to hold them back from coming any close. If they could keep them pinned down at least they would have to try to come at him and his crew one at a time.
He sent a second round down range taking the one who was shooting at them down. There would only be a few of them left on the ship at this point. "Come on move it." He yelled out to the others.

Amaya didn't hesitate when she was given a weapon she picked it up and went to the door with the others. Cadan and Alastair were dealing wih the bridge and the rest were quickly in a fire fight to keep control of the main deck. Killian dropped the first one in no time and with his order to move up Amaya was quick to follow suit.
She made he way up the opposing side of Killian trying to keep cover and keep the attention of of herself. As she closed she could see one more of them just down the stairs from them She pointed the weapon and pulled the trigger sending him falling back down the stairs. She ran up close and could see the last one now down in the cargo bay as she made her way on to the stairs. The man dropped his weapon and held his hands up as she stood on the upper section of the cargo bay catwalk. She aimed at him but didn't pull the trigger. She wasn't one to shot unless she had to.

Ezekiel moved up behind Killian and Amay seeing the last man their with his hands up he decided a message needed to be sent and shot the last man in the knee he then grabbed him and told him Tell your boss if he wants this crew to work for him to ask but the next time he try's to strong arm this crew it will be the last mistake he ever makes". Then Ezekiel through him off of the ship and quickly went and got the rest of his supplies. Then he closed the air lock and waited to see what was going to happen next.
