Chapter 1: Carnath

Ellios-11 commits to nothing giving Annelise a chance to hack into the cockpit herself.

Once she appears to succeed, she says "I see you managed it on your own therefore you will not need my assistance. It is a plausible option to take shelter in the reinforced cockpit."

"Oh #$%^", Bud says with wide eyes as the gun kicks and hits the seated prisoner, well the formally seated prisoner.

He looks at the corpse with a growing horror. "I just killed a person!", his mind screams but he quickly supresses the thought.

Mullis will be at the hatch leading to the cockpit as Annelise comes to the panel. He still has a frightened look in his eyes but his color has returned.

"I've...ugh...I've...tried to contact the front but it looks like we're on our own. Based on previous conversation the pilots do not appear to be friendly."

The doctor will have the rigging gun reading that he laid aside, if they decide to jettison the back half of the ship he wants to be ready.
