S-01 gave the ship a wide berth uncertain of if it had some sort of way to slow it self. Her uncertainty was violently ended as the ship used the harbor as its breaking. The sound of metal screaming and moaning as it was torn from its metal skeleton, S-01 didn't realize that she had hovered too watch, similar to a pedestrian watching a car accident.
The hooded individuals who where abandoning the ship had a peculiar garb, but they seemed to lack the expected fear and disorder that comes with a accident of that magnitude. A pause as she considered interrogation but the fact that there where many different sources for intel but the chances of getting one that knew any more than standard mission parameters eliminated that as an option. The loud scream of her burst of speed announced her commitment.
From looking over the ship, several entry points had become structurally unstable, but every moment she hesitated the window diminished. "Window." Dropping in low she began to skim the surface of the large deck, several plumes of fire and debris made for some excitement.Abruptly she slammed to a halt in front of the bridge. hands emitted a hint of light but the shattered glass was far louder than the low hum that resonated from her hands.
S-01's eyes darted around the room, various holo displays flickered making it easy to determine she would not be getting anything of worth from their damaged systems. The malevolent activities that happened aboard the vessel were all but confirmed when she found the ship's black box smoldering in a corner. She would continue her search, tearing the panels off the consoles, seeing if there was any recoverable hardware. The smoke that greeted her showed that that too would be a fruitless endeavor. Rather than panic, S-01 thought about how even in times of panic, habit cannot be broken. She burst out the door of the bridge, quickly using her logic to find her way to the rapidly collapsing captain's quarters.
Here she found a break. An old style filing system, complete with manila folders. She ripped the handle off of one, due to her growing tension. Wuth a far gentler touch, she opened the one below. Her eyes searched quickly, looking for key items- coordinates, anything that could prove to be of further use at a lter time. She reached to open the final drawer, only to find it put up a resistance. Her fingers would find the edges of the drawer. Next she would tear it off as if it was a poorly wrapped present. Within was a singular portfolio. While being unassuming, among its folds she would find a detailed shipping manifest, complete with names, payments, and, most importantly, what it had been shipping.
Despite wanting to take the time to read it, a loud explosion that shook the ground beneath her feet reminded her of the rapid decline of her surroundings. She tucked the portfolio beneath her arm and opened her wings. Though in a confined space, the walls had long since lost their stability and the metal was beginning to melt. Her pulse blast tied into her impressive acceleration allowed her to literally tear through ceiling of the structure, a plume of flame seemed to have a mind of its own as it followed behind the fast moving S-01. Looking about the wreckage of the harbor, she searched for a place to land so she could go through manifest in more detail. However, the situation had attracted more than just a little attention. Between the fire and the now destroyed docks, there was no way she wasn't seen. She quickly landed between two buildings and attempted to sneak away with the crowd.
She knew she had likely been tailed, but the need to know what was in the contents in more detail overrode something as simple as someone detecting her. She slid into a mom and pops diner, her wings still in full view, and the ash still sticking to her face. Finding herself a seat on a stool at the counter, some of the other patrons raised am eyebrow at the bizarre sight but S-01 had a more important task at hand, to satiate her curiosity. she looked over the her prize no real defects but it was both charred and damp. Carefully she began to open it but fate would make sure she was once again be interrupted.
"What can I getcha?"
That familiar warm smile appears S-01's face, "I'll take a coffee. Oh, and if you have'em, cinnamon rolls as well."
The woman, in her late thirties, hardly seem phased by a woman with metallic wings walking in to her diner. In fact, by her reaction it seemed like a common occurrence. As she would ask a follow-up question,"Sweetheart, you need a towel? Between the ash on your face and your wet dog hairstyle, I'm assuming you're having a rough night."
S-01 chuckles lightly and tapped the portfolio in front of her, "I hope so, I may have found a ticket for a most amusing ride."
