Telmeck waited quietly in his hidden position in the blacked out cargo bay, there had been one other patrol that passed through the area, they put up a little more fight then the last but eventually fell. It felt like hours had passed, all the while he had been sitting there staring down the entrance to the room through the scope of his rifle. Years of training had given him almost endless patience in this regard as he lay there watching. Then he heard it, voices, several of them approaching the door. He took in a deep breath and held it for several seconds as the door automatically slid open at their presence revealing a squad of four rebels. He slowly released his breath as the door shut and he activated his low light vision. These men seemed more prepared then the others and their talk suggested that there had been more rebel casualties in other sections of the station. A slight smile slid across Telmeck's face, 'Looks like the others are making progress.' He thought to himself. Telmeck silently pulled himself up to his feet and climbed down from the crate he had been laying on. Several moments passed and he silently lowered himself to the floor and began re-positioning behind the rebels. As soon as he was in position he lined up his shot towards the rear-most rebel and fired, bringing the Human to a quick end. Shouts rang up as his comrades spun around and sent a volley of fire down onto several different locations. Quickly Telmeck relocated again and sent off another volley taking the life of yet another Human leaving one Masulu and another Human. It was then that the radio's reactivated, shortly after Telmeck heard the voice of one of the remaining rebels, "We need reinforcements to the cargo bay next to hanger 7. We have hostile contact, two men down, I repeat we need reinforcements!" The human shouted over his radio. Telmeck growled in frustration, 'That wasn't supposed to happen.' He thought to himself annoyed. Quickly he began flanking the position the two rebels had set up, but Telmeck was knocked off his feet when a tremble rocked the entirety of the station. There were shouts of surprise as the rebels lost their footing aswell. Telmeck could hear shouting from over the soldiers radios. 'Seems the others have done their job.' Telmeck thought to himself as he got back to his feet. He noticed the rebels just getting back to their feet and quickly brought his weapon to bear, with four clicks of his trigger the human collapsed dead. But the Masulu was able raise his weapon and fire back at Telmeck. The first two rounds impacted on Telmecks shields and before they could be broken Telmeck dived into cover. Using his wrist computer Telmeck activated the lifter from earlier causing the Masulu to become distracted for a second giving Telmeck the chance to secure the kill. After a short burst of fire the rebel collapsed dead with a hole burned through his head. "Rebel bastards." Telmeck commented before moving towards the center of the room. More chatter sounded from one of the rebels radios, "All hands enemy drop ships have been deployed, they are attempting to board, move troops to hangar areas and prepare to defend. Reinforcements have been routed towards hanger 7, secure it and defend against the oncoming enemies." "Well, it can never be easy can it? Hopefully the others get here before these reinforcements do." He growled. 'Time to buy some time.' He thought to himself, looking around the room for ambush positions. Then came another terrible tremble that shook the station making Telmeck dabble as he tried to stay standing. Then all of the sudden, everything in the cargo bay began floating upwards. Telmeck smiled as his body lifted off the ground. "Alright, I can work with this." He said as he used his grappling hook to pull him back to the ground and activate his magnetic boots. Then over his comms he heard Rareth's voice, "I hope all of you have been trained in zero-g.” Using the zero-g environment to his advantage, Telmeck began assembling several traps for any troops that should come this way. He moved the lifter directly in front of the entrance and placed an explosive upon it. He made his way towards the now floating bodies of the rebels and looted any explosives he could from them before spreading his own remotely detonated explosives around the room. Once everything was ready he returned to his position atop a large container near the top of the room, magnetizing himself to it, he placed his rifle on his back and began his wait. He would need to wait until as many rebels as possible were in the room, for once the explosions started going off everything in the room would get sent flying in every direction and any more would be mad to enter until things begin to settle down. Ashley had passed on the word that the Hanger had depressurized and in order for him to enter he would need to seal his suit and depressurize the room, but by doing so he would force all the air in the cargo bay to be sucked out into space, this includes anything that isn't magnetized or blotted down to the floor, if timed right it could be used to his advantage. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Several minutes of agonizing silence passed until the door slid open revealing two rebel soldiers floating in the door way, they flicked their lights on then signaled for the others to enter. One by one rebels began to pass into the room until there was around 16 of them floating towards the other door. The second the door they had entered through slid shut, Telmeck grabbed four of the grenades he had looted off the rebels and primed them before sending them off in the direction of the rebels. As soon as he did he took cover entirely behind his container and held his hand over the detonator. As soon as the explosions went off Telmeck activated the detonator causing his for remote activated explosives to explode. Telmeck had positioned himself so the container he was on would be far away from the source of the explosions, but still the shockwaves were enough to send the container spinning around and floating towards the wall. Quickly Telmeck raised his arm and fired off his grappling hook latching on to something and deactivated his magnetic boots. His grappling hook attached to the ceiling and began pulling him towards it. Due to the force that was exerted on him from the container ad the explosion Telmeck slammed against the wall some ways away from where the grappling hook had landed, the second he did he threw the palm of his hand against the surface and magnetized his hand, stopping him in place. He regained his focus just in time to see another smaller crate come hurtling towards him. "Shtara!" Telmeck swore as he pushed off the wall breaking his magnetic hold on the ceiling dodging the crate by only seconds. As Telmeck floated towards another of the rooms walls he took this chance to scan about the room, it was pure chaos, crates debris and bodies were flying in every which direction, whoever of the rebels that entered the room that were still alive were now struggling to keep themselves from being smashed by all the debris and crates. It felt like ages before the crates began to slow down to the point where they could no longer kill on impact, at which point Telmeck and the few remaining rebels were able to steady themselves and get a grasp on their situation. There were only five rebels left of the group that had come in, and by now they had noticed their Rothian companion and were beginning to bring their weapons to bear. Telmeck had steadied himself next to the door into the hanger and at this point he magnetized both his feet to what used to be the floor and his left arm to the wall the doors controls were on, with his last free arm he shot his grappling hook towards a nearby crate and pulled it towards him rather then pulling himself to the crate. The crate reached him just as the first rounds impacted on his shield. Telmeck magnetized his hand to the crate and used it as a shield between him and the rebels as he crouched behind it. He demagnetized his left hand and began setting to work on opening the blast door that separated him from the hanger. As soon as the door opened there was a terrible whooshing sound as all the air was sucked into the hanger, only thanks to his magnetized boots was Telmeck able to stay standing in the now mostly empty room. Several large crates had been sucked towards the door and were now blocking the entrance to the hanger, but with enough force the crates drifted away giving Telmeck free access into the hanger. The five remaining rebels had been pulled into the hanger at such a strong force that when they collided with floating crates of any of the walls the impact was enough to break bones, effectively killing them. Letting out a sigh of relief only he could hear he demagnetized himself and pushed off into the hanger in the direction of the Humming bird. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a gunship approaching the Hanger, his instinctual reaction of seeing the ship approach was to grab his rifle, but just as his hand curled around it's handle he recognized the ship as Sovereignty and saw the others holding on to it. Relaxing he returned his hand to his side as he drifted towards the Humming bird. “Glad you guys could join us.” Telmeck said into the radio. As soon as he was close enough Telmeck magnetized his hand to the hull of the Humming bird, using the ship to change his direction before pushing off again. He managed to land just a little ways away from the arriving Gunship. After standing himself up he then offered assistance to anyone else who may need help grounding themselves. He then heard Rareth's request of Shiva and looked towards her, his concerned expression hidden beneath his helmet, "You've been wounded? How bad is it?" He asked as he continued to offer assistance to the others.

Shuo breathed heavily as the ship flew silently through space. The shear silence really bothered him which caused him to toggle on his helmets attempt at making sound in space a thing. It played audio files to the best of it's ability for things it knew about. The gunship was easy and even his weapon could easily have sound played for them. Though if he got into a firefight it would not work as he would either have to know that something is happening or physically be able to see it. He had it off most of the time as friendly chatter was enough to keep him sane. Though the ride was quiet as the squad road back in silence. He toggled on what fleet chatter he was authorized for and listened to progress reports from Sovereign soldiers that were currently clearing the station. He heard weapons fire in the background of several of them but it was quickly snuffed out. It seems the fleet had done it's job to great affect and killed most of the rebels with their salvos. Shuo toggled off the fleet reporting as they approached the hanger the hummingbird was docked in. As they pulled next to the hummingbird and people began deboarding Shuo made sure he was the last one off. Just before he deactivated his boots he banged on the hull twice. He felt a prompt single hit back through his feet. This gave him a smile as he kicked off the side of the gunship towards the hanger. "We're all clear Aereo, thanks for the lift. Happy hunting." Shuo said as he was then greeted by a few seconds of clicking. "Oh I will, Aereo returning to station." The female said over the comms. The ship then promptly fired a dorsal thruster and then accelerated away. Shuo grabbed onto the top of the hanger and then angled himself down and pushed off the ceiling. He made sure to start a rotation too so when he hit the ground he activated his boots with a satisfying bzzzt. Shuo kept his weapon in hand as he walked back over to the hummingbirds entrance. Shuo keyed his comms. "We'll do a damage assesment on the ship. I'm sure fleetcom would like to talk to us before we head back to PAX."

Shiva was very cautious in her approach to disembarking. All her movements were deliberate, double checked, and never without either a handhold available or her feet secured. She could hear the struggle in her own breath greater than anything else as she navigated the zero-g environment to the hangar floor with the others. Only once two seconds had passed since her boots engaged did she wave to Telmeck, who greeted them on arrival. "Not as bad as it could have been, Telmeck," Shiva said over the comms to calm his concern, "A rutting man charged her with his horn, you can thank your Rothian armour that it didn't get to her lungs, or even hit her heart." Shiva's mention of a 'rutting' man was meant more as a joke, referring to how emotionally immature Masulu men brawled with their little except their horns. "Well, that and luck. She wasn't beyond a field treatment." With that, Shiva addressed Rareth's original question. "Of course. If I can get you prone and get a better look at the wound, I can help sort it out properly. The fuse and set I did on your rib before wasn't flawles-" Shiva stopped and grunted, putting a hand to her stomach. After channeling some magic to relax her stomach muscles and prevent an incident in her helmet, she continued. "Sorry. As I was saying, the treatment wasn't flawless. You may have knocked it out of position slightly. Just breathe slowly until we get on board." Shiva was glad that the mission was wrapped up before her nausea worsened.

"Don't worry about me. It was survivable to begin with, and Shiva's aid was fast and effective. I'll probably be fine even without more help." Rareth answered Telmeck before giving a quick glance to Shiva. "Not that I don't still want it, of course." Once the hold's depressurization was complete, Ashley opened up the cargo ramp, allowing the team to get inside and take their seats. Only the Hummingbird's hold was depressurized, since the captive they had rescued earlier was still aboard in another room, but it would still take a few moments to repressurize it completely. Given the chaos aboard the station, however, Ashley did not wait around for the process to finish. Instead, she closed up the loading ramp and took off without a moment's delay. Taking Shiva's advice, Rareth breathed slowly and moved little as they waited for the pressure to return to the hold. With no one saying anything through the radio, the only thing she could hear for a few moments were her own, slightly irregular breaths. Eventually, sounds from outside her suit started to return as the pressure normalized, until the point where Rareth was finally able to remove her helmet safely. Rareth took a deep breath of the fresh air, or at least fresh compared to the recycled air of her suit. As many times as she had walked into danger, it was always a relief to be out of it. While she imagined that no sentient being particularly liked putting their lives on the line, Rothians in particular held an aversion to danger. "Perhaps not completely ideal, but a success nonetheless. At least, we all accomplished our objectives. It's up to the rest of the fleet to recover the hostages safely. Hopefully, they will also be able to capture a few of these rebels for interrogation. But we've done our part. You all performed admirably." Rareth commented. Looking down, she started to run her hand over the fresh scar of her wound. Now that they were not in a vacuum, her suit was no longer constricted over it, and it was once again visible.

Once everyone was safely magnetized Telmeck turned and drew his rifle making sure to keep an eye out for hostiles while they waited for the ship to depressurize, even with the attack from the fleet going on experience has taught him that being extra cautious on the exfil never hurt anyone. "Alright, well even then, good thing Doctor Shiva was on duty to help keep you up and kicking for a few more centuries." Telmeck remarked into the radio in a somewhat lighthearted tone in response to Rareth. A moment or so later his gaze turned to Shiva, "Good work Shiva, it's definitely comforting to know we have a skilled medic with us." He said, nodding to her appreciative before returning back to keeping watch as the ship finished depressurizing. Once the door opened Telmeck remained out watching their backs until most everyone was on before he boarded, replacing his rifle on his back as he took his seat. He watched as the door silently shut assuming soon after the ship would take off. His gaze switched over to all the members of the team that had arrived on the gunship. They all seemed like they were in fairly good condition, to his immediate knowledge Rareth was the only one to be wounded, something he wasn't too overly fond of hearing. But, he was admittedly glad no one else was hurt with her. As the room depressurized Telmeck lifted his wrist and unsealed his suit allowing air to pass in and out freely before removing his helmet. He rolled his head around enjoying the freedom of having no helmet on. As Rareth spoke up he looked over to her and listened quietly. "Over all, I'd say it was a good first mission with everyone on the team. At least, from what I can gather here it seems to have worked out well, we're all still alive, so that's a plus." He commented jokingly after Rareth had finished.

After walking up the ramp Shuo found a nice looking bar to use as a hand hold as the door closed. He turned towards the door and watched as it made full locking position with the ship and white mist began shooting out of the floor. With this in the background Shuo connected to fleet comm chatter again and went a step further this time. He requested access to helmet cams on the ship. Some AI gave him access to atleast the Sovereign force's one. He checked the status of the other requests and they continued to pend. He brought up a random feed of some troops clearing a large hallway. He quickly turned the sound down so he could still listen to fleet chatter. He watched as they came to a door and stacked up on it. One of them placed a breaching charge on the door and everyone darkened their visors. The charge went off in a flash of light and the camera quickly compensated. As the last one in the room he watched as they kicked in the metal door that was now missing a large chunk of it'self. But when they came into the room they didn't find anyone. Well anyone alive anyways. The room was full of bodies floating around in large floating globs of blood. As they panned around the room everyone had committed suicide in some way. One had even plunged a blade into his intestines and was still magnetized to the floor so his organs were simply floating up and out. He sighed, these rebels were too dedicated. It had been awhile since he had seen a group of fanatics like this. It didn't help that evidence was mounting that these rebels were not contained to just here. Not only were they too dedicated for that but they were too well funded. He sighed and kept watching the feed for a moment but switched once he heard them call out over the comms that they were holding for someone to come and investigate. He switched over to an active firefight in which it looked like both sides had taken casualties though it seemed most were the rebel's. When he heard talk of Shiva's ability he pulled himself away from the feed for a moment. Shuo elected to keep his helmet on however. He realized he was conflicted for a moment. Having a medic meant you anticipated getting injured but at the same time it was useful as they could keep you fighting in spite of injuries. He decided to avoid it entirely and simply said. "All of you fought well today. All of your magics proved useful in the end." He said through his speakers rather coldly.
