Talon cursed as he grabbed his rifle, "Refusal's no longer an option," he said as he looked at Velk, "So which is it gonna be, the guys outside that have already decided to kill you or us who are still thinking about it?" he asked as he loaded his rifle.
Gerris quickly surveyed their situation and glanced over at Velk. The guy was too stubborn for his own good, but she didn't have time to debate. She quickly skipped over to the engineering bay, taking only a couple of seconds to bypass the security. After jumping into the confined chambers the ship shortly began humming to life as the highly skilled turian infiltrator hacked the controls from the mainframe.
"Less talk, more escaping!" she buzzed over Talon's omnitool's receiver.
Velk pushed Zevia's gun aside as he approached the weapons console and looked upon the screen at the men. "The Black Sigma Corp."
"What?" Zevia said before the ship rocked as one soldier shot a rocket into the ships hull.
"Grab the pilot chair and get us moving now!" Velk growled as Zevia moved into the pilot chair and started up the control systems.
Velk turned to a turrent console and armed the system causing three chairs to lower down from the ceiling.
"You two, strap into the turrents and lay them out." Velk said as he took a seat in one of them locking into place.
"Hehe now we are talking." Tritop said as he strapped in and the turrent turned to lock him in.
Velk looked to Talon, "Youngling, take the command chair and give Zevia support while we take these scums out." The turrent lifted Velk up and down into the lower turrent as the turrent came online. The old turian grinned. It was good to be back in the game.
**Hanger**
"Who gave the order to fire?!" Nila shouted to one of the soldiers.
"Sir your instructions were to kill-" The captain was cut short as Nila shot him in the calf. Not a lethal shot, but enough to cause pain. "GAK!"
"I wanted to surprise them and you blew it." Nila growled as he pistol whipped the captain and turned to the ship as he could see it was powering up. "Target the engines!" he commanded. "I want that ship down now!" he motioned as the rocket soldiers moved up taking aim at the engines.
"I'm no expert, but this engine's not using all of its power..." Gerris thought as she scanned the mainframe, "Well, we're going to need to bail, not engage into a firefight..." she told herself, unaware the three gunner seats were being readied. She removed the panel and looked at the complex circuitry as if she was analyzing a bunch of strings rolled into a ball of yarn. "Damnit, this is too complicated for me!"
She growled, then returned to her omnitool, firing up the hacker assistant tool. She quickly accessed the mainframe's command line and began typing series of codes. "There!" she said, pulling the power from one of the defense guns and diverting into the engines to bolster its start up speed and its acceleration.
Looking through the window, Raddia surveyed the squad sent in to exterminate them. "Oi, this looks bad! So many rockets..." Raddia tried to think quickly, seeing that the turrets were either all occupied or being hacked by Gerris for extra power. "My barrier's not really built for something as large as a ship, but I can at least protect the engines from a couple of rockets." Running down to the engineering, she placed her hands on the engine console and transferred the power of her barriers around the outer casing of the engines, stretching the protective energy to their limits. Hold out, please...
Talon quickly reholstered his rifle as he jumped into the command seat, looking over the control panel infront of him, Why couldn't he just tell me to shoot something? he thought, he was good at shooting, "So what's the plan Zev?" He asked as the ship rocked a bit from the attacks hitting it's hull.
Zevia yanked the sticks causing the ship to rock as the increased power from the engines got them off. The continued to be knocked by rockets, but Raddia's shield held them off.
"Talon, see if there are anti-personal defenses. I need them to be distracted to get out." she yelled as she continued to pilot.
Velk swung his turrets to the rocket soldiers taking down one of them while Tritop took a second one out. "Keep them pinned down." he communicated to Tritop.
"I know how to kill paijavi." Tritop growled as his sights focused on heavy robots moving down the platform.
"Heavys, moving in." Tritop said before getting on the com to Gerris. "Keep up the good work Bee'sheld. I'm impressed."
Velk took aim at the heavy driod seeing their armor gleaming in black paint like the foot soldiers. A barrier forming over them as they locked into rocket firing mode. Velk paused noticing a symbol emblazoned on their chestplate. A symbol he knew all to well. "Sigma....." he gritted his teeth before getting on his com. "We need missile support to crack those heavys barriers. Need them now."
Panting softly from overexerting her barrier, Raddia tried to regain her focus when she overheard Velk and lit up with Glee. "Missile support? Now you're talking, I was trained in heavy weapons." The asari quickly slid into one of the ship's weapon computers and tried to tap into the missile defense system. "Hmmm, kind of different from what I'm used to, but I have a good eye." She studied the heavy droid's movement pattern and locked on to gleaming hunk of metal and fired the missile, smothering it's barrier with high powered explosives. "Direct hit!"
OOC: Sorry for the absence all, but I'm back now. Celebration! *Pulls on a rope chord and a bunch of balloons fall from the ceiling followed by a skeleton in a clown costume* Huh, coulda sworn I put food up there. Oh well no harm done.

Talon quickly went to work on the control panel, "Basic kinetic barriers, better than nothing at least," he called over as he activated the field around the ship, "Oh I'm gonna have fun upgrading this baby," he smiled as he looked over the panel, "Auto-turrets, flash bangs, reinforced hull," he whistled a bit, "Wasn't kidding when he said this baby was top of the line. Ah-ha! Emp pulse, perfect," he smiled as he hit the button on the console, the barrier around the ship would protect their own weaponry and equipment but the oncoming attackers would be hit hard and any unprotected electronics would be fried.
Nila eyes went wide as he noticed the familar blue aura around the ship. "EMP!" He yelled but it was too late as the shockwave ripped through the hanger hitting the heavy mechs. Their body shaking as no doubt all their circuits blew out from the shot.
Without rockets or lasers hitting the crew, Nila watched as the ship turned to space and fired off away from the station. As the turian got to his feet his com light up.
The image of Gerrvis appeared with his arms crossed in front of his chest. "Report." Nila gritted his teeth. The General would not be happy.
**Inside the ship**
Zevia stood up from her chair making sure the ship was on auto pilot. "Looks like we are in the clear for now." she said noticing Tritop and Velk unharness from the turrets.
Velk stood up and looked to Talon.
"What do you guys have that would cause Sigma be interested in you?" he said sternly.
