N wondered aloud if perhaps JCJenson merely forgot about them since they hadn't heard from them in years. Karasu thinks that over for a moment. Complete radio silence after sending them on their mission? Sure, he could understand having designated times to communicate with the team, but... That seemed a bit unusual.
"Hm. No communication in years? That is unusual. Maybe they did forget. Or something happened."
He theorizes, but ultimately there's nothing that proves anything one way or the other. It was all guesswork.
"Well, I guess that means we can run the operation however we see fit. Or, rather, you guys can."
After having said that, N also points out that with a bit of work, perhaps the planet wouldn't be so bad -- and that... Was an interesting idea actually.
"You know... That's not a bad idea..."
He then turns to N, having a bit of a revelation from her words.
"If we can get in good with the Worker Drones, they'd be able to get a LOT done practically overnight."
Karasu pauses briefly, but soon adding;
"Instead of being surrounded by ruins, we'd have a functioning city. We could set up an actual perimeter. Have the things we need to actually fix these corrupted Drones, maybe."
And as the workforce grows larger... It snowballs. Yeah. That wasn't a bad plan.
But, N also questions if they should head back up to the bridge with Cloris now, and Karasu gives her a nod in agreement.
"Yeah, let's go. We've managed to secure the ship with this much."
The Captain would return to the upper levels, and once N had safely joined him, he would seal the door, and much like Ray had done before, he'd weld it shut.
Overly cautious? Perhaps, but if anything COULD burrow underground and get in through the holes of the ship, it would be better not to take the chance. Plus they could fix it later. Once that was done, Karasu makes his way to the bridge, and checks in with Aegis and Cloris.
"Aegis, check the integrity of the upper levels. I'm not too worried about superficial damage, just if the hull will keep out the elements now that the lower levels have been sealed."
With a chime, the Aegis then replies;
"Understood, Captain. Scanning now."
It was good to be sure of these things, after all. Still, with auxiliary power and the life support still active, they didn't need their suits within the ship. So he started the process of removing his. In the meantime, he glances over at Cloris.
"Need me to take over, Cloris? You've been at it for awhile now."
Ray was a little bit more optimistic about this, pointing out that surely there were OTHER ways to lock the door. But... Uh, considering this guy just walked right in, it probably wasn't locked...
"... I don't understand these Worker Drones. We've been trying to get through those entry doors for months, and they don't lock one of the most important doors in their bunker?"
V states, and soon after Ray clears his throat, admitting that he'll look it all over once things have settled down. V gives a nod at that.
"Yeah. I don't think we can trust them to."
Even more importantly though, Cloris called to check in with the group, and Ray hurriedly relays the status of the situation to her. Once that's over, he then turns his attention to V, and asks if she's ready for action.
At that, V gives a confident grin.
"Of course."
As Ray starts racing down the halls, V keeps pace with him -- she could go faster than him if she needed to, but she preferred to stick with him, ESPECIALLY because who knows what could be lurking around right now.
Seeing the extensive damage around the Bunker from the fight certainly paints a picture of why it got so noisy, too. Thanks to the sounds of combat still echoing down the halls, they're able to locate the others pretty easily.
Though Ray kind of overshoots the doorway, sliding to a halt and losing his balance. V is right on the scene to catch him and steady him, then they enter the room as well.
J has finished dealing with the last of the zombie drones, and moves her hand to flip one of her twin-tails. Smirking confidently.
"Of course I did."
J replies to Chaos's comment about her saving them, then following with;
"That is why I am a superior Drone. But we're not done yet."
Her words exuded confidence, but Chaos? He on the other hand was extremely relieved that it was J -- and that she was alright. When he runs up to her and hugs her, J is shocked at first, freezing up for a moment.
But then she returns the hug, smiling slightly.
"Well of course I'm alright. You didn't think those things could actually hurt me, did you?"
Soon after, he thanks her again for saving them. And then... He mentions a... Floozie with Uzi... J then looks over at the Worker Drone in question.
"You didn't try anything perverted with him, did you?"
Still, now that the situation was a little more under control, everyone could figure out what they needed to do from here on. Chaos explained that the railgun will work for a shot or two at most. He also wanted to finish working on a landmine. Ray also chimed in by telling everyone to finish their last preparations, and asking if J could lead them to that monster.
The twin-tailed Disassembly Drone turns to him and gives him a nod.
"Yeah. I know exactly where it's going, and why."
After having said that, Uzi then commented that she was ready -- to blast that thing into oblivion, too. J gives a small smirk as she looks over at Uzi.
"Alright then. V and I will keep that thing busy. I think we can use that landmine that Chaos is working on, and then once it's good and distracted, you should be able to blast it."
With that, J looks over at Ray.
"Sound good?"
