The core is alright the right engine is shot though I can repair it within a couple hours." Said Malik. "Then get to work. No one leaves the ship unless you want to be eaten alive. I believe these aliens are known to make humans into snacks. So suit up kid." Said Raizen. "Aye aye captain.." Said Malik with a sigh as he disappeared.

Mikhail rubbed his head, sitting up sluggishly and staring down concave fuselage. "This isn't good, sir. Vorea's environment isn't human-friendly. We'll need to suit up. I'll go check our stores to make sure it didn't get damaged in the descent.," he sighed, standing painfully and making his way down the length of the vessel.

A short time later, he returned to the main cabin. He wore a somewhat loose, armor plated suit with full helmet, his eyes veiled by a technological visor and the lower half of his face covered by an elaborate breathing apparatus.

"Damage to our stores are minimal. I'd grant that to the fact that we nosedived. At least we won't suffocate."

Raizen didn't get a chance toa nswer. The next thing before he knew it he was sent slamming back up against the wall and landed on the floor wuth a painful thud as the ship crashed into the dirt and slid into a canyon. Once they slid to a stop Raizen lay there fior a moment his head spinning. Picking himself up fast he scrambled over to Malik worried. Checking him over he was fine other then the violent jolt he took. Malik groaned and whined loudly, "Are we dead?" Raizen smacked him saying, "Get up!" Going over to Mikhail he rolled him over gently and checked his side. "Malik I need a damage report now." Said Raizen. "Who gives a fuck right now? The engine's blown and if the core is shot we're screwed." Said Malik" I didn't ask for you to bitch do it now!" Raizen yelled loudly making Malik jump. Malik left disappearing into the back cursing every word known to man. A loud yell was heard followed by a loud clang. "I'm okay!!" Malik's voice was heard yelling back to them. Raizen put his gun away and sighed.

There was no time for a snarky comeback. Without warning, a large blow shook the entire vessel. Suddenly, the strength of the orbit overtook them, the ship taking a sharp turn towards the rocky planet below. Tarasov tried to grab hold of something but failed, flying to the back of the cabin and hitting the wall painfully.

"Ugh, Vorean airspace!? Does your helmsman know what he's doing, Ashiawara?" he groaned, clenching his sides and rolling to the side while a multitude of loud alarms blasted erratically all around them.

Snatching the papers away from Mikhail Raizen read them over. "We aren't supposed to head here for about 72 hours or so. Either way we make a pit stop half way to fuel up and to fix our dent." "Needless to say bring your parka it's fricken chilly. I ain't cut out for the cold." Said Malik. A beep was heard it was then a message appeared right on Malik's front screen. In some foreign alien language. "What's it say Malik?" Asked Raizen. "Warning you are trespassing on private airspace." Said Malik. Before Raizen could speak they took a huge blow. Malik flinched that moment and tried gaining control but another explosive hit them and Malik hit the ground out cold after he coughed up blood. "Shit!!" Said Raizen running over fast as the entire ship started going out of whack just then. Pulling out the manual controls it was then they started falling toward a nearby planet. "Mikhail buckle in we're about to crash!" Said Raizen.

Tarasov couldn't help but allow a small smirk to slip onto his lips as he watched the two men bicker like children. This was the behavior of an EA officer? It was pretty unbecoming. That's what the young corporal thought, at least.

"Station? My papers read that we're headed for the Yosiras cluster. That's on the very furthest reaches of arctic space.. may I ask why they would send an investigator vessel such as yours to a place incapable of colonization. Humanity has little interest in that area," he said aloud, squinting at the military dossier that had been issued to him.

He ran it over and over in his head and it still didn't make sense. There was something be kept from him. Maybe even the native crew of this vessel were in the dark, but he saw through the lies being shoveled to him. The fact that he was specifically pulled from the 24th and placed on this ship meant one thing: the brass expected violence.

"Right now we're heading toward our station. It's there where we'll be waiting till something comes up. You can call the place home I suppose." Said Raizen. "The place sucks if you ask me. Very little to do. Captain here makes me do a side job repairing ships when we aren't working. Seeing as I have mechanic skills." Said Malik. "It's better you working then going around breaking crap." Said Raizen. "Hey that was an accident the last time!" Said Malik. Just then a loud clang was heard and the ship gave a sharp rattle. Catching himself Raizen said, "Malik what was that?" "It's called you distracting me from my piloting so a stray meteorite clipped us. If it weren't for the force field we'd have more damage." Said Malik pulling up a screen showing the side that got hit " "See what I have to live with?" Said Malik looking at Mikhail for a moment. "You have no idea how much you are spoiled.." Said Raizen annoyed.

Tarasov couldn't help but allow a small smirk to slip onto his lips as he watched the two men bicker like children. This was the behavior of an EA officer? It was pretty unbecoming. That's what the young corporal thought, at least.

The fact that he was specifically pulled from the 24th and placed on this ship meant one thing: the brass expected violence.

"Trust me Malik is a bit insane when it comes to take off.." Said Raizen strapping himself in. "Oh suck it up you pansy and let's get the hell off this god forsaken rock." Said Malik flipping the only switches on the entire control panel. Placing his hand down on a panel the ship suddenly came to life as he got them out of the port. Within five seconds they were out of the atmosphere and in the depths of space. "Wow you actually went easy this time. It's a miracle." Said Raizen. Raizen suddenly found his seat belt strangling him. "Malik cut it out!" Snapped Raizen struggling against it. The seat belt let go and Malik said, "Then quit being such a first class ass to me captain. Feel free to unbuckle for now you two till I say. It'll be smooth sailing unless we hit a asteroid zone."

The corporal stepped through the airlock and into the ship. He had known that the EA had a handful of investigatory vessels but he couldn't imagine why he, of all people, would end up stationed on one. After all, he was a soldier. That's what he knew.

"I'm sure I can stomach a little turbulence," he said, his voice carrying tunes from Mother Russia.

He continued past the cockpit and took a seat along the side of the cabin, strapping himself for takeoff.

"How should I know? I was told you were coming to me. Believe it or not me and the kid you just saw have been working as a two man team for years without any assistance." Said Raizen as they entered the port. Boarding the ship in the far left area of the port Raizen said, "Regardless welcome aboard the Silver Wing. Don't ask the kid or Malik I mean gave it that name." Entering the main area Malik was in the pilots chair area looking even more bored then before. "Finally I can't stand being so damn civil and quiet. Can we get the hell outta here?" Asked Malik. "Yes and no crazy antics we got someone new here who probably can't stomach your crazy piloting." Said Raizen. "Yeah whatever. Just buckle up you two." Said Malik.

The corporal picked up on the mood between the Officer and his subordinate, beginning to allow himself to become somewhat on ease. He grabbed his olive-green duffel and walked through the door, following Raizen's lead.

"The order for my recall came through pretty quickly. Any reason why I've been stripped from my unit, sir?" he inquired.
