Following Six and Kyo, Tycen moved onto the dragoon that awaited them. in the dragoon he noted a four man team of marines, He didn't recall any being ordered but it was a smart precaution he thought.
Tycen swiftly moved in the dragoon taking a seat as near to the doorway he'd just come from as possible, He wanted to be one of first on the mysterious vessel.

Kyo took his seat in the Dragoon and waited for the pilot to take them off to the Celestial vessel. He quieted his mind to ready himself for the trip to come. As Kyo did so he perceived some flashes in his mind's eye... new visions. He saw lightning... and lightsabers. The Jedi Temple on Coruscant, there were many people gathered there using lightsabers. Was it a battle that was to come? No... the feel was much too foul, there were only Sith there. Perhaps Ryuu and Cain were gathering new potential Sith to their cause. Regardless of the meaning he would have to report this latest vision to Jor... after this mission was completed of course.

As Drake climbed in and sat down the pilot closed the side hatch and the ship lifted off. Jor leaned forward in his seat to look over at Drake as he asked his questions. Jor smiled when he finished and leaned back. "I dunno. maybe no one is one board and the ship is just adrift."
Danny, from his seat across from the Jedi snorted. "I kinda liked the vampire ewoks myself."
Jor shook his head with a smile on his face and rested on the short trip over to the massive mystery ship. The pilot had a hard time for the first few hundred meters but once they got within 500 feet of the ship all their sensor data cleared up like there was no problem. Whatever problems the ship was causing to the entire system, it appeared to not effect anything within the local vicinity of the ship.
The dragoon attached to the side of the ship and a laser drill started cutting through the hull. No shield was in their way and within 20 minutes they were through. Rita was the first to stand, grabbing her rotary blaster cannon and approaching the side hatch. Danny put a hand on her shoulder before she could open it though.
"Sorry ma'am, this is our job." He said. Behind him his 3 other marines were grabbing their rifles and strapping their helmets on. Rita nodded once and stepped back. Danny hit the magcon field activation button and then put a fist down on the red button that opened the side hatch manually.
The door opened to space. air was kept in by the doors magcon field. The ship rotated to starboard until the side hatch matched up against the hole they'd cut into the ship. The magcon field made a seal against the hull. Danny was the first to make the jump. He crossed the few feet of distance weightless until he reached the other side. The mystery ship's gravity yanked him down and his boots made contact with the deck. The marines went through after him single file and deployed out in the corridor. Danny's hand went up to his neck and triggered the throat mic. "Clear."
Rita took the cue and went next. Jor unbuckled and stood up. "Ok, Drake, once more into the breach."

Drake smirked some he didn't think his joke would go over well. He looked at Rita she seemed as emotional as ever "Are you worried Rita?" he asked her joking "Don't be, I mean we have 3 of the what 20 or so main characters going on to this ship, I doubt anything happens to us..." he laughed as he kept himself steady as the shuttle tried to line up with the ship. He watched as the Marines did their thing and got them a hole to get through, Drake unbuckled himself and stretched "Finally some excitement" he said.
Drake looked at Jor when he said that, it was sort of errie since that was the last thing Captain America said before he was blown up in WW2 and frozen in the atlantic ocean. Drake shook his head to get the thought of comics out his head at a time like this. "Right behind you Jor" Drake said to him.

Jor grabbed his rifle and put his newly repaired helmet on. He jumped across the short distance into the larger ship and his boots set down on the alien deck. the corridor was lined with glowing symbols that he didn't understand. Even his suit had no recognition of it.
"Rita, what you got?" He asked.
The android tilted her head for a quick second. "I detect no wireless networks that are within my capabilities to detect. Either the computers are closed circuit or their network is beyond my capabilities to understand."
Jor nodded. "Ok, Drake, lead the way. we're looking for an engineering compartment so just wonder around a bit until we stumble onto something like that. Rita, take up the rear. Danny, hold the shuttle for us."
Jor slipped the strap on his rifle around his shoulder and let it hang at waist level. He hoped Kyo's team made it over alright. With any luck they'd find the control room or something. He waited patiently for Kyo to radio him when they made it aboard.

After a second hole was made in the side of the alien vessel for them to enter through, Kyo made the jump across. As Kyo's feet touched down on the deck Kyo kept his helmet on, not entirely sure yet if the air inside the ship was breathable. He kept the hilt of his lightsaber ready in his right hand and surveyed his surroundings as he waited for Tycen and Six to join him. It was mostly dark inside the ship so Kyo switched the visor in his helmet over to infrared only to reveal there wasn't much heat either.
Kyo let out a soft sigh and turned the visor back into the visual spectrum. He reached out with the force, scanning the walls around him for any subtle irregularities. Kyo could sense something off to his right, it was extremely faint, a power source that was still functioning perhaps? It was as good a lead as any, "This way," Kyo said finally igniting his yellow lightsaber to let Six and Tycen know where he was and to help light his way.
Kyo then spoke into his comm device, "Jor, this is Kyo, we've set down inside the vessel. I may have located a power source of some kind, it's faint but definitely there. I'm going to take my team and check it out."

Drake followed Jor through the hole to the ship. He landed in it finding it easy to walk thanks to the gravity. He stood up slowly from the jump and looked around, since his lungs weren't burning and he wasn't gasping for air he assumed he could breathe in the place. He looked around when Jor told him to take the lead he smirked "Great" he pulled out his saber and ignited it for extra light he started to walk around. "Engineering compartment" he said to himself to have an idea of what he's looking for.
Drake stopped "Anyone hear that?" he asked maybe he was imagining things considering the place was really freakin creepy "Sorry must be paranoid" he laughed.

Tycen made the leap through the void just as Kyo did, Floating acorss into the unknown, He really felt like an adventurer now. The landing was very soft has it was expected to be. Tycen scanned the area, A feeling of the great unknown that this ship represented washed over him like a tide. Nothing seemed to click in terms of familiarity, What was this ship and where did it come from? He fallowed Kyo toward the only source of energy that could be sensed, Even slightly felt through his feet, Strange.

Jor listened to Kyo's report as best he could. It was interrupted by spurts of static making much of it nonsensical. "Jor, this is Kyo, *static* inside the vessel. *static* power source *static* definitely there. *static* team and check it out."
Jor flicked the side of his helmet but he knew it would do no good. His had came up to his collar and triggered his com. "Kyo, your breaking up. There's some kind of interference. If you can understand me, find the bridge and see what you can do. Jor out."
When the com shut off Jor could swear he heard something. It was a very faint scratching noise but when Jor turned to look at the direction it came from the noise moved with his head. It was a very faint scratching noise coming from just off his right side, almost like it was inside his helmet but it was gone before Jor could tell if he'd actually heard it or not. Then drake made his comment about hearing something.
"Well, if your paranoid, then i am too i guess." Jor said.
Rita spoke up from the rear. "My audio sensors detected no disturbance."
Jor switched the flood lamp on his helmet on to brighten the corridor and turned to look back at Rita, then forward again towards Drake. "ok, i vote we do this as quickly as possible."
_____________________________________
Over with team beta, Six walked with Kyo and Tycen. He was unarmed but as usual he had a tool for the job somewhere in his seemingly bottomless pockets. He produced a flashlight and flipped it on. "Well, this is an interesting thing ain't it kiddos? He said as he glanced at the designs on the walls.
"I hope our lord and master lets me give this place a thorough examination once we're finished here." He said, running a hand along one wall. He couldn't identify the alloy used in the bulkheads by sight and he wished he'd brought his portable lab to run some tests on it.

As Kyo received Jor's response over the comm it too was laced with static. He could however make out the words "find the bridge" in what Jor was saying. Kyo suspected that perhaps the energy source he was tracking was coming from the bridge, but the more he pressed forward he was only met with long dark corridors that seemed to lead no where and the energy source that he could still feel faintly grew no stronger. Straining to see what was out in front of him, Kyo held his lightsaber out into the pitch black void, maneuvering his lightsaber up and down as he scanned for any sign of an end to the dark labyrinth before him.
Kyo paused a moment to study the wall to his right when something caught the very corner of his eye. A dark silhouette standing at the very edge where the dull yellow glow of Kyo's lightsaber met with the darkness, standing and watching Kyo. He spun around quickly, seeing nothing ahead of him but blackness, his lightsaber darting from side to side to try and relocate the figure. At that moment Kyo became acutely aware that his own breathing had quickened as the sounds of his short nervous breaths reverberated inside his helmet. Taking in a few longer, cleansing breaths Kyo reached up and flicked back on his helmet's infrared sensors. There was no one in front of him. Perhaps it had been just another vision brought on by the force... he'd had one just before getting onto the ship. Though there was something different about this, something wholly unsettling. Reasoning that he was just seeing things Kyo decided not to voice his concerns and rather pressed onward with his team not far behind.

Drake looked at Jor "Yeah, maybe we're just on edge" he said to him as he continued to walk forward easing his way throught he ship halls. Drake kept his saber up even though Jor turned his light on just in case, he had a really bad feeling about this, so he was on guard. He turned to look at Rita when she said her sound detection thingy didn't pick anything up "Yeah well trust me on this, I have sorta a sixth sense about danger...or rather I have a good sense for walking head on into it...there's something on this ship" he told her. He knew there was something it was to be seen whether or not that something was nice. Drake came to a stop at a door "End of the line...wonder whats on the other side" he said as he walked over to it to force the thing open.

The door they approached was flat and smooth, with just a hint of a seam at the center. Jor showed his flood lamp on it and Rita peered closely at it's surface. she swiped a finger across its surface then stood back. "curious." she said. "i detect not a single defect in the metal."
Jor pulled her back with a hand and motioned Drake towards the door. "well we're about to make some. Drake, open for us if you please."

Drake looked at the door with light on it. "Hmm" he said examining it, it was almost too much in good condition, for the ship to just be here, something was really off. "My spidey senses are tingling" he thought as he put his hand out. Drake sent a force push through the door not enough to destroy it but enough to bend it back to let them in. He reactivated his senses and looked around "If things get weird I'm hinding in a barrel" Drake said as he started to walk through the newly opened door.

"Good idea Drake. They never look in barrels." Jor said. As Drake slipped through, Jor had to force the door open a little wider with his mechanical strength in order to fit. Rita slipped through behind them with the footsteps of a cat.
The room they entered was very open and circular. At least 30 meters in diameter with a depressed floor. It was almost like walking into a giant bowl. Across from the door they entered was another door that was closed and above them was a sphere floating above their head.
Jor's flood lamp scanned back and forth across the room as he looked. The floating sphere over their head was interesting but other then it, the room was completely bare. "I'm forecasting a 80% chance that we'll find the Mystery Machine in a room similar to this somewhere on this ship."

"This isn't working," Tycen said speaking for the first time on the alien ship. "We've been moving in the direction of the only energy source i can sense as i'm sure you can, Yet its not getting any closer, Maybe, And a dread this suggestion but, We should split up, Cover more ground that way." Tycen knew it was a terrible idea, Every horror film ever made had those words and after them came the killings of said film, He was half hoping it would be rejected.
