He checked his Light Machinegun to see how many rounds were still in the gun. There were around 450 rounds inside, with a smile on his face he cocked the gun and went into the room. While he secured each and every corner of the room he connected a flashlight on the gun and he started to spin the gun.
If he would pull the trigger the gun would shoot 250 rounds per minute into his enemy. With this, obviously good, feeling he continued.After some minutes he shouted back to the men.
Dave : Good, that will ease our jobs in here. I will go to the nearby console to check the status of the generator meanwhile Erik, look for the ventilation shaft which leads to the exterior.
He went to the console and tried to access it, when an old security protocol came and block Dave's access to the generator's main functions. He attached his HoloComm device to the console's back input ports. Then he overwrited the protocols with his device. Eventually he managed to access the functions of the generator putting it on overload.
Dave : The generator is at 70% capacity but it will be enough to overload and fry every single living being in the compound. The recalibration is on the way and when it's done the generator will be fully charged and ready to go red.
After he addressed to the group he figured that the room could be used to make up radio transmission. He transferred some power to his HoloComm to reinforce the signal and he sent a message to Ellie Hunter's HoloComm which Dave gave to her.
"Ellie, I think we've cracked it ! We found something on Sprague that could lead us to the system where Ashley went missing almost 10 years ago. Our situation isn't too ... bright at the moment but we are struggling to get out and we are very close. The compound where we found the trigger, it is infested with K'Haras. We had fierce fights with them but we survived. And I am preparing the last surprise for them. The coordinates of the landing sites are these 145'89''. I will wait for you. - Dave"

Ellie lay on her bed in the Citadel in her white and black bikini, taking a nap after a swim in the crystal-clear water. Having dried off, she decided to take a nap.
The HoloComm went off.
Like a flash, Ellie was up, grabbing the device. Listening to Dave, she held the device to her bare chest, feeling the heat.
She was going to need an army.
Running to the Hunter Combat Systems officd, she hit the direct link to the LNS Thalia Grace.
The screen came on to show Alexis Hunter.
"Yes El-" her eyes narrowed. "Why are you dressed like that?"
"I went swimming. "
"There is no guy-or girl-over, is,there?"
"No mother, but I need your,help! Dave...he's a guy I met. He needs help!"
Alexis sighed. "Where is he?"
"Sprague."
"El! Are you...I will be there soon."!
Ellie thanked her mother and ran over to her closet, pulling on jeans, a button-down black shirt, discret body armor, and her,black cloak.
She heard a soft hum, no, a soft roar.
Outside, the Raven's Talon Midnight Roar came in for a landing.
"Izzy!"
"Ellie? What's going on?"
"i need your help. Mom is coming to get me."
"Seth is in Bering with the Ghost Eye."
"Jeremy?"
"Bretonia."
Ellie grabbed Izzy's hand. "Come on, we need to get ready to get to Sprague! You have the Star Seeker in the cockpit?"
"yes. Now come on."
"I cant even get home for a swim without being,shanghai'd into anything, can I?" Izzy sighed.
"Be nice or I'll kiss you."
"Thats no threat. You're mistaking me for Rei."
"Right...sorry. I'll steal your favorite jacket, and,you know I can."
Izzy was silent.
Later
The Raven's Talon commenced a hard-dock with the LNS Thalia Grace. Clamping in place, the Thalia Grace accelerated, its hyperspace engine charging.
"Ellie, will leave you at the Frreport and head to where Bedford was. Seth is at the other end of the system, and Jeremy is off ship reconing Newcastle."
The,Thalia Grace hit hyperspace and hyper-jumped to Newcastle.
Little did the Hunters know that they had a certain individual on board. This individual will later prove himself as a friend, but that's another time in another place. For now he just wants to cash in some bounties.
While the Thalia Grace was hyperspacing
He disabled the power grids and the engine systems. Some people would say it was a piece of art the way he did it, but he would put it as a common everyday thing he does and that any man with half a brain and the tools could have done it. And so the Thalia Grace stopped in the middle of nowhere. The only thing still operational was the life support and some of the lighting. He prepared to make his move as the crew panicked.

"Status?"
"We've lost everything nut life support and lighting. Our marine,skeleton crew will have to check." She turns to Ellie,and Izzy. "Any ideas on what is happening?"
"no." Ellie replied. "And only one marine team and minimal personel...we need to get either Seth or Jeremy."
Izzy walked over,and yanked,an assault rifle from a,marine guard. "I got this."
After he made the communicate to Ellie, he went off to the console looking to the others.
Dave : Eriksson, anything about the ventilation shaft ? It's clear, does it link directly to the exterior ?
He looked a bit to the console making calculation of the overloading time and it's radius of explosion. When he heard some metal hits on the room's walls.
Dave : K'Haras ! It can't be ! How they tracked us... we are at several decks away from them ! Men, our job got a little more interesting.

Joe quickly responded to Dave's contact with the hostiles, but where were they coming from? The most logical place would be the tunnel leading towards their position. He looked at Jack and while Jack pulled out his rifle Joe put the machinegun on standby.
He saw the first K'Hara "shadows" appearing and he fired the Light Machinegun.
Joe : Let her rip!
The combined force of both Jack and Joe pinned the K'Haras in place, either taking cover or falling into the ground. A good example would be the old cheese from the Earth date, yes, the one with the holes in it.
Joe wasn't able to fire the gun in full automatic mode, for the recoil was too heavy to resist. Therefore he fired the gun in short bursts.
While he was shooting he asked Dave something.
Joe : Dave, when is your plan going to work? Hurry up, sir, we can't hold this out much longer! Erik, 10 o' clock, behind the wall. Surpess that target!
Dave shot several rounds on the nearby approaching K'Haras and he went to the console starting to break down the protocols and activate the overload function.
Dave : Ok.. protocol number 6, passing, 7... ok with that... ehhhh 8 Alpha Epsilon .... damn it it's an old one.... Zeta 32-003, communication link with master unit ... what the ... stupid wreck I dont need permission from the main server since it's all dead ! *he hit the console*
AI : Re-re-re-correcting programming. Protocols are down, Intruder alert, protocols are down.
Dave : Ehh just shut it up... *he looked to the fight scene then back to the console* ok set timer to ... ok done.. it should work ....
AI : Warning. Power Core overloading. Please stop any activity and begin cooling process. Meltdown in 5 minutes.
Dave : Ok gentlemen, keep the K'Haras away until we can shot the grappling hooks to the main ventilation shaft above us.
He went side by side with Joe and Jack starting to fire his Carniflex Pistol.
