Lorik shakes his eye-stalk and scribbles on his board. "I'm unsure how anything here works or how I can be of service."

Daniel's jaw dropped. "We're already in space? I didn't even feel the ship move! This is like a science-fiction novel! I don't know how to survive in space but if anyone could provide a way for me to get to a... 'space platform', I can use it to take out the others." He squeezed the watch in his pocket.
I literally went through the gates of hell and out the other side and still didn't die. This won't kill me. But then why am I so nervous?
<><><><><><><><><><><>
Bobbi squeezed his fist and saw the veins glowing in his knuckles.
"Uh, Xender? You got a space suit or something? I can take him there, just point me to an exit. Something to use as a shield would be helpful as well, assuming things will be shooting at us. A distraction would also work. Lorik, what can you do? Got any powers?"

Lorik shrugs at Bobbi.
"I do not have 'powers' I am merely a artifact recoverer for hire. All of my work deals with spelunking and archeology. I only travel with survival gear and a few numeneras and ciphers I've found through out my travels."
Lorik opens his satchel and shows that it is filled with a bunch of odd gadgets and trinkets.

"okay Daniel your with me in the maria, just sit in the copilot seat and we will blast you a way inside."
"The rest of you should take the assault pod down to the planet side station, Lynks will take you there and set the guidance system."
.....
As Xender powered up the maria it's engines roared to life loud enough to hear through the whole ship. "weapons loaded, guidance system updated, Neural link initiated, Ready for launch." said the Maria in a calm female voice. As the Maria left from the hangar the entire ship shook with the sheer force of the engines.
The view from the cockpit was quite extravagant offering the pilots a full 360 degree view. "Well any ideas for getting into that station Daniel?"

Daniel's jaw sunk at the view. Even though giant guns were aimed at him, the majesty of the stars forced their way in to make even the bloodthirstiest soldiers pause for a moment and appreciate its beauty.
Space. Wow. To see the horrors of hell and the stars of heaven in the same day. Crazy.
Daniel's thoughts passed back to Xender. "Getting in shouldn't be a problem for me. In the ... world I'm from, alchemy is a process where you can transmute objects. So, for example," Daniel saw a coffee mug sitting at the copilot's seat and sat it on the floor in front of him. "I can turn this," Daniel clapped his hands then pressed them on the floor in front of the mug, "into this." Light flickered around the cup and blue sparks shot out of it until it changed shape and became a small dagger. He picked it up and handed it to Xender. " It's a three-step process of understanding what you're dealing with -comprehension- deconstructing it, then reconstructing it. In the history of my world, there was a man who would stop at step 2; deconstruction. All I have to do is the same thing to a wall. It shouldn't be too difficult. Once I'm inside I can use the platform's resources to create cannons all over it and take out the other platforms and ships. Probably gonna drain a lot of my energy, though, so i'll need some kind of help evacuating. Probably best that someone who can survive in space assists with that."
<><><><><><><><>
Bobbi sat with Lorik and Lynks in the assault pod. "Lynks, right? What exactly will our objectives be? I could have helped Daniel or Xender in taking out a platform or... something."

Xender was amazed by the talent that daniel possessed with transmuting objects, but quickly refocused on the task at hand "okay ill blow a hole and get you in you'll have to take care of the guards inside, take the re breather under the seat until you can get to a pressurized part of the station."
The main weapon of the Maria powered up with a blinding light, which shot out and savaged the side of the station exposing a breach.
"okay Daniel its up to you from here ill take out the rest of the external defenses."
<><><><><><><><><><>
"Mr. Xender is well aware of your abilities that is why he is entrusting you with taking out the ground based defense station. Now, we will be landing on the southern edge of the complex once the landing ramp opens you will need to head to the control center in the middle of the station, once there you and Mr. Lorik will need to deactivate the station, you will also need to take out any resistance on route."

Lorik sat in the pod listening the AI and his instructions, after the AI finished he quickly wrote on his board his questions and concerns.
"What kind of resistance are you expecting? How do we deactivate said station? Do you have anything to help us get to the control station? Do you know how to get to the control station?"

Bobbi sighed and stood up as the pod got closer to landing. His veins started glowing along with his eyes as he turned is head to stare at Lorik and Lynks.
"Lorik, stay with me. Everything will explode so if you don't stay with me, prepare to explode. Let's go"
<><><><><><><><><><><><>
Daniel landed in the platform and stumbled a bit. He gathered himself and noticed nobody was shooting at him. In fact he saw five men laying on the ground, dead from the Maria's gun.
"Oh no... Uh Xender?!"
At that point, men rushed into the room with guns.
Daniel held his hands up. "Hey guys! I'm not here to-"
"Fire!"
Daniel ducked behind cover. "Come on you guys! I don't want to hurt you!"
He clapped his hands and slapped them to the ground and out of the blue sparks came armor surrounding Daniel and a hammer. He stood up, bullets plinking on his armor. With a hefty swing he threw the entire hammer at all the men. It whipped right over their heads and by the time they stood up, Daniel had already surrounded them by metal walls.
"Sorry, guys! But I don't feel like killing anyone today!"
I have never transmuted metal like that but I somehow understood its composition. Just like I can clap my hands now. What did that gate do to me?
"Time to turn this place into a bomb."
He slammed his hands to the ground again, converting the entire space station into a giant replica of his face.
Daniel stood up, his body tired and his mind wavering.
"Xender! I'm good to-"
His legs grew weak and he toppled over, his vision going back.

As Xender was destroying the last of the external defenses, the station suddenly morphed into what appeared to be Daniel. He heard mumbled audio in his receiver it sounded like Daniels voice.
"Daniel come in what the hell happened...Daniel come in!"
Damn he's not responding "Lynks Take over the Maria i'm going in to find Daniel"
"yes Sir, auto pilot sequence initiated commencing scan of the structure. I've found Mr. Daniels body i'll get you in as close as possible."
As Xender entered the station it looked in ruins as he turned a corner three guards rushed at him. He wasted no time in dispatching them, he pulled out his pistol and shot the first two dead, the third continued charging. Xender Grabbed the man by the throat and crushed his neck with his cybernetic hand. As he continued on he found some guards trapped in some sort of metal box, "Daniels work no doubt" he said moving on seeing them as no real threat. He then came upon Daniels body his cybernetic eye told him that Daniel was still alive but passed out due to over-stress. "Lynks i found Daniel we need to get him back to the ship."
Once the Maria had docked Xender took Daniel to the med bay, where Lynks tried to resuscitate him.

Bobbi's angry eyes scanned the field. Men with guns unloading ammo on Bobbi. He raised his arm and created a shield of plasma.
"Lorik, stick with me."
Bobbi pushed the six foot tall shield forward to mow the men down.
"Let's move!"
He advanced forward, shielding Lorik and plasma blasting his enemies. Adrenaline coursed through his glowing veins as they reached the building. He kicked the door down and blasted away all opposition.
"Alright Lorik! Your turn!"

Potok watched Bobbi making mental notes about the powers he was brandishing. When the pair reached the control station Lorik's mind started racing with ways this machine may function.
He turned to Bobbi with his sign saying "Cover please."
Lorik then starts to rummage through his satchel looking for a cypher he could scrap or some sort of device that might let him acces the station. He found a cypher that worked as a one time use EMP but with a very small radius. He continued to look through his bag, now looking for something to use to boost the range of the EMP, he hoped he found his answer with an old numenera he had early in his travels and never figured out what it's purpose was. It was a long glass tube with green electricity coursing throughout the glass casing with two metal caped ends. He had suspected it may be a power supply but never found anything it could atttach to properly. With little time for experimentation he grabbed a set of jumper cables from his bag and connect the two devices together hoping something might happen, instead he received no results. Lorik grabbed he numenera looked it over quickly to what he had missed, when he found a small button in the middle of one of the metal caps he had missed before. Upon pressing it a cord came out the end of the other casing which was tipped with some sort of adapter. He attached the EMP to the adapter and the devices soundly came to life glowing a bright greenish blue hue.lorik horn set the timer for 3 mins and turned back to Bobbi and tapped his shoulder.
His sign simply stated "Run"

A grin stretched across Bobbi's face, his plasma shielding holding off the enemy onslaught. His eyes skimmed over the timer. "You got it, buddy."
The shield splashed into a million directions, boiling the blood of the enemies. Covering Lorik with an umbrella of plasma he blasted foes away as he advanced. Every corner of the station was full of men, giving Bobbi no choice but to mow them over. With red blood sprinkled over the glowing purple veins on Bobbi's skin, quickly evaporating. Bobbi escorted Lorik and himself to cover and pressed his finger against his ear.. "Lynks! We can't get back to the pod together in less than three minutes! You need to meet us halfway! Can you get to us?"

"I think i can do better than that Mr. Bobbi," and with that a loud cracking sound erupted from the sky as an object falling broke the sound barrier, as soon as the Mercury came thundering down to the ground crushing men beneath it's metal legs it began firing it's main guns shredding through the soldiers at 1000 rounds a minute. "I would recommend you and Mr. Lorik get yourselves to the pod i will hold the men here"

"Damn! Why'd he even send us down here if he could just do that? Let's go, Lorik!"
Bobbi picked up his feet and shot straight for the assault pod, making sure to keep with Lorik. With the enemies' focus turned on the sky-tearing metal construct blasting lasers at them, Bobbi and Lorik made it to the assault pod.
"Lynks! Let's go!"

The assault pod's engines roared to life and it shot upward with a huge jolt. As the assault pod and the Mercury broke the atmosphere there was another jolt as the force of the explosion hit them from bellow. After a few minutes the assault pod reached the ship and Lynks led them to the med bay where they found Xender who was tending to an unconscious Daniel.
