The NX-31 fast attack corvette Wondering star Gently coasted towards the Maw cluster's main base. One corvette, one Dragoon, and two stealth-X's were all that Akira had with her. The infiltrator herself was geared up in a flight suit inside the Dragoon,with her two droid companions, Yumi and Neo, sitting next to her. Slowly, The dragoon drifted out of the Star's [/s] Hanger, and began the slow drift around the fleet. Two hours later, and the shuttle finally neared the rear of the fleet, right to where the Basestar[/b] was located. Akira nodded to the pilot, who nodded back and closed off the cockpit and vented the atmosphere from the hold, then opened it. Akira bailed out and drifted to the flagship, flanked by Yumi and Neo. The holodroid was in its normal human form. The N-K Necrosis droid, Neo, used his jetpack and landed on the flagship first. He landed near a hatch, and signaled to Akira that he was right on the money. She and Yumi flew to that as well. Neo used one of Akira's lightsabers and cut the hinges off, opening the hatch. The trio jumped in. After closing the hatch and using the lightsaber to weld it back down, they cycled through the small airlock, and landed in the cargo bay. It was nearly pitch black. Ok, Yumi, find a console and locate what we need. Neo, Scout around to make sure no one is in here. Remember, no killing anyone. We wanna keep this quiet.The droids nodded and took off. Yumi went to a wall and Neo climbed on what cargo there was to get a good vantage point. Akira stayed in her vacuum suit and wished to turn on the lights, but didn't. All she could do was wait for Yumi. There was a slight gasping sound, and quiet thump, and Neo came back with a female crewman. She was about the size as Akira. That's all? She was the only one here. Ok, Keep watch.Akira changed out of her suit and stripped out of her clothes, and donned the crewman, or, rather crew-woman's, outfit. With an suitable disguise, she went to find Yumi, who was hard at work at a console. Shouldn't be too long now, Akira. Good, keep it up. We need to be fast so they don't know what hit them.[/center][/sub]

Akira, I found the items. Two decks down. Ok, take on the form of a crewman and lets go. Neo, stay here and monitor the life support and give us the feed when we reach the science deck. Yes, mam.
Yumi brought up a list of crewmen in the fleet, and took the form of a young blond girl with her hair in a ponytail. Yumi then brought up the life support systems, marked which one was Akira, because the droids didn't show up, and let Neo take over.
Ok, Yumi, lets go.
Akira and Yumi walked out the corridor, which was abandoned. Neo led them, through Yumi, to a turbolift. They went down three decks to, as Neo put it, the "deck of the dead." Akira knew what the droid meant as soon as the door's opened. It did smell like something died. It appeared to be where all the trash was kept, and maybe even the brig somewhere up.
Neo led them down two corridors and through an access corridor. This, according to Neo, was directly under the science room. Yumi took a lightsaber to the floor and cut a half hole, and made a hinge, and bent the floor up. It took about 30 seconds for her, but it made it easier to climb through without touching the liquefied metal around the edges. They were through instantly.
Ok Yumi, find the baby crab. I will find the cloak. After that, we need to get the hell out of here.
Akira tossed the droid a small holo-projector. They would take a picture of the the samples, the project them, giving the illusion that nothing happened when the alarms went off, and there were sure to be alarms everywhere. They had to hurry with this. [/sub]

OOC: Minus the fact that you thing you could sneak by a fleet like that, I am still going to accept it. Let’s see what Akari does when things don't go to plan.
Angel stood on the bridge next to the sensor officer. "Will, it seems like a energy reflection off the of some of the other ships and produced by a singularity. Run another sensor calibration and try to put an end to it. I am going to go work on the Ysalamir gene splicing." Angel walked onto the turbolift and took it down to the lab deck.
As she slowly made her way down the corridor when her sonic sensors started picking up a lot of noise in her lab. She walked up to the door and opened it. When she looked inside her jaw almost dropped. She tapped into the ships IFCOMS system wirelessly and sent an alert to the bridge. "We got intruders in the genetics lab. Send security teams." At the same time she stepped into the room. "Step away from my samples and no one will get hurt." Angel looked and spoke to the only organic in the group. Angel was betting on her speed to get out of this mess, not having any weapons scanned the room looking for the nearest tool she could pick up if it got messy. She was using ever sensor she had to analyze the situation, including her ultrasonic mapping sensor.

I know it was too easy. Yumi, cover me.
Akira tossed a blaster pistol to Yumi, who also had one of her lightsabers still. The holodroid caught the blaster and aimed it at Angel, but didn't fire. Akira took off to the other side of the room, checking the specimens as quickly as she could as she ran.
color=pink]Come in here and call everyone off. Say it was a malfunction or something. [/color] Neo, we have some trouble. See what you can do. I'm not picking up any other lifeforms besides you. I am reading others heading your way. I suggest you take care of the droid that's there and fast. I'm on my way down.Make it fast. Yumi, you have help on the way if you need it.[/b] Akira found the first sample they needed: the cape. She activated her lightsaber and cut the capsule, and grabbed it. Next, she needed to find the baby crab-thing. Hopefully Neo would get here quickly and replace Yumi. She wasn't the best fighter, while Neo was built for that.[/center][/sub]

Angel looked at the droid. "Go fuck yourself. Unlike you I am beyond malfunction." As angel said malfunction she grabbed a metal tray that was normally used to carry samples. It moved with binding speed and all the force her muscles could provide as she brought it, making minor changes in its path in order to strike the blaster right from the droids hand. At the same time she pivoted on her foot so that is she tried to fallow and fire she would hit the tray before it could be pointed at her. While she was fighting another droid; meaning that they can move nearly as fast as her and was nearly as strong as her, she still had the advantage of sensors and more important computing power of all other known droid models.

Yumi dodged instead of using the lightsaber to defend. In fact, the lightsaber was still hidden away. She managed to move so that it glanced off her arm, taking her out of her human form and back to her droid form before warping back to her usual self.
Unlike you, bitch, I have a master that I will protect. I serve humans, unlike you, who is trying to become one.
Yumi kept herself between Angel and Akira while she worked. She had her sensors on the human at all times so that Yumi would be able to watch Angel and stay in her way. Neo shouldn't be too far off, so Yumi started shooting at Angel with the blaster, hopefully forcing her back, where Neo would be able to get to her when he arrived.
Akira was almost in a panic as she continued her search. She had to finish this and fast so they could get out. She forced herself to calm down and continued going through the samples. [/sub]

Angel moved forward in a blinding speed, closing the distance with the other droid. As she did she swung the tray again, making adjustments as it closed with the droid to insure it hit the left arm of the droid. As she did she reached out to grab the right arm of the droid. It was her goal to break the arms internal components. "I do not pretend to be anything. I am a free droid and proud of that fact. You keep pretending to be free, slave. Let’s see how your organic master sacrifices to complete her mission." Angel did not ever stop to talk but was continuing to press the slower droid, keeping processing all the data from her surrounding so that no one could try and get the jump on her.

I have no intention of being free. I love my master, and I will serve her however she would might. [/color] Yumi kept backing up, but this other droid was too fast. She nearly tripped, giving up precious time that Akira needed. She squeaked as Angel neared her, but activated the lightsaber, bringing up a shield before throwing it to the doorway where Neo stood. Unlike Yumi, Neo was a combat droid. Neo jumped into the room and landed on a table, crouching as his blank white mask of a face stared at Angel. Yumi jumped back as Neo jumped forward: Neo slashing and Yumi blasting. Akira started on the last quarter of the room. Keep it up, im almost done.[/center][/sub][/b]

Angel's three dimensional mapping sonar picked up the N-K Battle Droid entering the room behind her as the saber was activated and cut the tray in halve like warm butter. It was then that Yumi made a major mistake and threw the lightsaber towards the newly arrived battle droid. As Yumi let go of the saber, Angel calculated the trajectory and with an quick extension of her right hand snatched the lightsaber out the air.
Angel extended the blade as she stepped to the side and pivoted so that neither droid was behind her, but instead on either side. The blast which Yumi had fired hit her left arm, casing a small smoking hole which a green slime slowly dripped out. "Surrender and return my samples. Don't make me destroy you." Angel stood with the glow of the lightsaber blade illuminating her body.
Meanwhile the message that Angel had sent to the bridge had came through. Elizabeth Sweetwater quickly ordered the bridge, armory, hangerbays and engineering sealed. She also ordered the 160 mercenary soldiers which were the space troopers for the four Gamma class Assault Shuttles to those locations. This meant that each of the hanger bays had 40 troopers, twenty on each level; 20 troops outside the bridge engineering and the armory; with the final twenty heading towards the lab were Angel found the intruders.

Akira Found the last sample, grabbed it, and stuck it in her pack. She turned back, and was almost shocked that Angel had the lightsaber. Akira looked around, ran forward towards the droids, and cut a whole into the ground out of sight. She jumped into it, only her head showing.
Yumi, Neo, now!
Neo ran towards the whole, but hid out of sight, and grabbed Akira's last lightsaber. Yumi backed up and changed her form to match Angels, hiding the blaster behind her back. When the soldiers came running towards the room, she yelled at Angel.
Get her! She's the impostor trying to break in!
That was easy to believe seeing that Angel had the lightsaber, which obviously wasn't hers. Yumi took a step back, nearing the whole and Neo. [/sub]

The Mercenary running in wore their power armor, so there IFF was tapped directly into the ships sensor as well as Angel. The soldiers raised their weapons at the droid as it tried to get them to focus on their employer sense it was not showing up as a friendly in there HUBs. "Open fire. Bring down the imposer." The platoon leader yelled as they open fire on the holodroid with their blaster rifles. They would not stop firing until the fails Angel was dead on the floor.
Meanwhile Angel looked around the room. She knew the battle droid could not have gotten far and since her mapping system could not detect him he could. She held the lightsaber ready. It would not be the easiest weapon to wield; the blade had no weight meaning it would carry no momentum. She would need to use speed and accuracy to defeat the battle droid. “Come out and surrender Droid. I do not wise to destroy you. If you cooperate, I will set you free.” Angel knew this would never work. Droid programming was far stronger then organic minds. It was next to impossible to cause a battle droid to break its programming; only the best first degree programs could hope to accomplish this.

Yumi stepped back and walked right into the whole made by Akira. She barely made it by the blaster bolts. Neo rose from the ground and held his own lightsaber at the ready. He had programming and some training with the energy weapon, and was proficient with it. He stayed one of his paces away from Angel; he was much taller than her.
Let my friends go and I will surrender. Unlike the holo-droid and the meat-bag, I am not weak, and I hold everything about the both of them, and who they deal with. With me, you can afford to let them go.
Akira called in the corvette waiting not far off from the fleet, and had it slowly drift in. The dragoon waited for its own signal to jump in. The Stealth-X jumped in as well and flew in, causing blips to appear on the far side of the fleet from the dragoon and the corvette. [/sub]

Angel looked at the droid for a second. She did not trust it, but it would put up a good fight. She did not want to destroy anymore of her lab so she was will to work with this droid. "I will agree to your terms on a set of conditions. First you must drop the saber and kick it over to me, second you take three pass to your left and plug into that computer port to insure you are being honest." As she was talking and also accessed the IFCOMS system again and sent a message to Elizabeth. Angel herself would walk over to another port should the battle droid comply. She personally would check his program and access his honesty.
On the bridge the message came up on the holographic project in front of Elizabeth. Soldiers are to hold fast but are not to engage unless attacked first. Also have one of the Spyglass Corvettes activate there hyperspace communication jamming and flood the genetics lab and surrounding areas with all radio frequency to prevent communication. Leave the other areas of the ships open. Angel." Elizabeth looked at the message strangely but she did not question the strange orders.

The stealth-X fighter flew right towards the Basestar and, launched three Mag-Pulse warheads into her. By then, Akira was at the outermost part of the hull, and had Yumi activate her transponder. The stealth fighter launched her remaining warheads into some of the spyglass corvettes. The Wandering Star glided up to the Basestar and connected to the airlocks, allowing Yumi and Akira go get to it.
Neo watched as the lights flicker on and off. He dropped the lightsaber and kicked it to Angel. His job was nearly complete. He reached behind his back and took out a thermal detonator. He pushed the button. As soon as it was released, it would go. Not even a droid's fast reflexes would save anyone.
Sorry, but I don't trust those things. Call everyone off and you won't die.
The dragoon jumped in for the distraction while the Wondering Star left the opposite way. The Stealth-X, unless it was lucky to make a randomized jump safely, would be lost forever. Neo held the detonator out, almost begging someone to try to take it. [/sub]

Angel watched the battle droid carefully as it kicked the saber over. As he did she notice its arm servos starting to move. It did not use its arms to walk, and the motion hinted it was reaching behind its back. This with the nature of battle droids and his subpar program hinted that it was going for a secondary weapon. She therefore concluded it was a double cross and seen the most logical course of action was a quick strike while it reached for the weapon. It only took a few nanoseconds to come to this conclusion and install put it into affect without second thought.
Angel lunged forward with all her power she could muster. She was tapping into her back power cells to put as much she could into her muscles. She swung the saber two hanged chest high at the battle droid starting on the side which it was reaching behind his back. The swing had all the force behind it she could muster to insure that it would cut through both of the droids arms in the single swing.; however she did not trade accuracy for strength, know she need to destroy the arms before it could get its weapon.
The PDS system open up on the Basestar, not targeting the missiles that were heading for it, but instead for the ones heading for the corvettes. The computer had noted that they missiles posed a greater to the corvettes. After the missiles struck, Elizabeth stood on the bridge as the subsystems went down. Weapons, IFCOMS, Security Camera, Turbolifts, and around 75 percent of the others failed. All she could do was order the entire fleet to Condition One and ready to attack should they spot the enemy. However it was unlikely due to the fact that the cloakbuster was worthless in the Maw due to the vastly unpredictable gravitational currents.
