Starrider slowly opened his eyes into the face of Rbstr. Everything was blurry, but he could make out that he was on his usual bunk surrounded by his squad. Pyro_Man patted him on the soldier, a nice easy, pat, but not the everything-is-gonna-be-ok pat he had hoped for. Starrider looked over to the place where Michaelsuave had once stood, and saw the blood stain on the floor. He closed his eyes, his eyes still very watery. When he reopened his eyes he noticed that so were everyone else�s. �So what do we do now?� Pattywick asked. Starrider slid his legs off the bed and sat up. �I think its time we figure out who that guy was and who he�s working for,� Starrider suggested. �Well where would we start?� Zionsfire asked curiously. �With Hamma,� Starrider said grimly, the name still striking an evil tone inside of him. The squad nodded in agreement, most eager for action and revenge; others simply wanting to break their two old years of hiding. "Isn't he dead?" WildEagle asked curiously. "Even the dead leave information behind. We will start with Hamma andgo from there," Starrider explained.
They spent the rest of the day gathering information. Maps were printed out, monitoring equipment created, and many trips to the closest VS base made to steal parts for the things they�d need. Their plan was to first learn as much about Hamma, and his affiliates as possible. Cameras and voice monitoring was critical. They assumed that at least some of the other high-ranking officials must be involved with Hamma. The only way to find out which ones were was to monitor them all. Luckily, the rooms reserved for those officials never changed. So it would be easy to find the rooms, the difficult part would be getting past security and making sure their devices went unnoticed.
For the next two weeks microscopic cameras were created, networking systems linking them and their audio devices to a main computer completed, and grief for the loss of one of them always in the background of their minds and attitudes.
Finally, after all the items on a scribbled on checklist that Starrider and the crew had come up with was completed, they decided to move out. They spent hours digging out the galaxy, some praying it would still fly, others confident, and others not as much. Pyro_Man was immediately back to his galaxy loving self again. Rbstr walked over to Starrider, �He�s just dropping us off and watching the gal right?� Rbstr said with a tilt of the head to Pyro_Man, who was currently at the front of the gal treating it like someone would a long-lost dog. �I�ve missed you baby�you we�re so good to daddy�.� He could be heard saying. Starrider almost laughed, and then acknowledged that as wacky, crazy, or absolutely insane he was, he was a good guy. Rbstr shrugged and went elsewhere.
