Regulus steps into the shuttle, looking around. He checks his compad to make sure he's at the right place then takes a seat, assuming a meditative stance and closing his eyes.

Dax, fully geared with a bag on his back, trudges into the shuttle. Seeing Regulus with his eyes closed, Dax decides just to drop his things and take a seat quietly.

Regulus opens an eye at the disturbance, "For one always complaining of being shot at, you do seem to always dive in where it's thickest master Withers. Not to worry, I've picked up a few tricks since our last mission together. I think you'll find them useful."

The shuttle begins drifting toward the shipyard, the four of you aboard. Behind you, the battle commences, the Lady Valeria taking the honor of first volley, her laser snapping angrily, but missing, and the torpedo running long of its target

Dax's shot, followed by the lightning gun fries one of the spacers, his helmet popping as the energy finds the weakest point in his suit for release.

combat ceased for the moment, you see the room is an airlock, with a small attached office for the duty officer- where the four must have come from. There are a few very old sports magazines on the desk, along with a copy of Juggs Monthly, featuring the finest selection in clay pottery, for the discerning consumer, hidden underneath. There are stomps as shouting voices and booted feet pass by the closed door leading into the hall, the passers by evidently on their way somewhere else

To the right of the airlock the backs of two soldiers are seen turning right, heading away from you and down another corridor. To the left there is a large bulkhead door. It is grinding closed but the controls are operating normally. You can see the green light on top blinking and the keypad is lit. There is also a door across from you which looks to lead to some type of large utility closet. There is a plaque of a janitor on the door.

The end of the hallway is an open engineering space, before next compartment, which is the comm array. Ship status panels line the walls of this otherwise open space. The engineers in this area have evacuated, the gunfight and evident espionage work from this area noticed. There are loose clusters of computing panels, and tool storage benches scattered throughout the space. The soldiers you'd seen turning the corner are forming up in front of the door to the comm array, 40m away at the other end of the engineering compartment There are ten, three of them with heavy cutters. The rest lack the power armor you'd seen on the Remnant elite, but look disciplined.

Set for ten seconds the charges explode. A bulkhead from the ceiling just after the elevator room slams down, as you barely make it clear. Behind the door you can hear the grind of metal floating away
The ship status panels fade out as emergency power cuts on. Evidently re lighting them was not a priority for whatever capacitors still have a connection.

Free floating out of the damaged central hub, you see the space battle beyond with your own eyes.

After teleporting back aboard, Cam watches the station spin through the windshield. "This is for annoying the Doctor. And blowing us into space." She punches the detonator, connected via laser to the tightbeam link unit below.
