There was a smaller chaos on the Equinox, the crew arming themselves, people rushing through the bridge. Two men were continuously monitoring the radars, in case any robots followed them. But the area around the ships was clear. Nothing left the shield after them.
-Okay, I want a plan to deactivate those robots! -Shouted the captain at the bridge.
-You want to go back there? After loosing three of your men? -Asked Sebastian. He was on the bridge since the group came back.
-We have a work to be done, and I'm interested who were these "people". Put the scans of the corpses on the main screen!
The corpse was humanoid. And not only the shield and the vacuum helped them to remain so intact. The body wasn't based on carbon, as almost every living creature does, but on silicon. There were several differencies, which needed to be looked into from closer. But the defense system was still on, and they couldn't risk going back this way.
-Captain? We have just received a transmission from this Jack Denton. Do you want to hear it?
-Yes, put him on the main screen.
The scan of the alien disappeared and Jack's head appeared. After the transmission, Ray started to record a response.
Alarms sounded.
-We have moving signals from the underground facility, sir!
-Ãgnes! Open a channel immediately to the Xaror! I´m going to take the spatial! Man the turrets and prepare to take off.
-Channel opened.
-Xaror, heat up your engines and try to destroy the incoming enemies! Primary objective escort the ships to orbit. I'm going to join you in a few minutes.
Ray started to run towards the docking bay bumping into a scientist at the first corner.
-I'm so sorry, sir...
-Nevermind! Move!
Ray heated up the engines of the spatial of Zenon and armed the guns. The docking bay's doors opened below him, and saw as the Xaror left the Equinox too. It was hard to undock from the grounded Equinox, but at least it was possible.
-This is Khan, need a report on the enemy's position!
-Captain, there seem to be at least 50 of them. Only a few are moving, I guess the remaining are defense turrets.
-Launch the drone, hide it somewhere and get off the planet. We destroy anything, that tries to shoot at the ships. Xaror, did you understand?
Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought.
