[color=#FFCC00][font=Century Gothic]Tom Kazanski was the first to arrive to Planet Cambridge. The plan was to wait until Commander Steele arrives to the research station on high orbit of the planet and they would begin their search at the same time, making them harder to find if by any chance they are spotted. However, plans are usually made so there's something not to follow. Not long after Kazanski arrived, a message was waiting for him on his personal comlink.

*Change of plans agent, I'm heading to Leeds to meet a person who was actually related to the Sprague research and might be able to give us some info. Will contact you later.
Steele
This was just what Kazanski didn't want. To be alone on thisone, since that could make his life a bit harder, in case someone spots his random searching curious. But with little to do at the moment, he decided to continue with his task as planned. After a bit of survey on the Central Library in Cambridge, he walked in as it was the most casual thing in his life. He had time to study the plans of the building, so he knew what to look for. Just a few minutes and he was already at the terminal which was the most hidden that is possible in a public library.

- Alright, let's see what we have here. Nope, this is all public stuff. This won't do '¦ Okay, time to look a little deeper'¦
[color=#FFCC00][font=Century Gothic]Tom pulled a small data recorder out of his pocket and plugged it to one of the connectors. The screen suddenly turned dark then a strange code came on , then it started some sort of decoding.
[color=#FFFFFF][font=Century Gothic]- C'mon, work a little faster for crying out loud '¦ I can't stand here all day.
[color=#FFCC00][font=Century Gothic]Just a few minutes and the screen turned dark again, then the following appeared: [color=#CC0000] Daam-K'Vosh Research Database
[color=#FFFFFF][font=Century Gothic]- Bingo! '¦ uhm .. not so loud '¦ Okay, let's see '¦ artifact inventory. Now that's what I'm talking about. Okay, I think Dr. Steele will have some fun with these. Okay, let's download the stuff and get the hell out.
[color=#FFCC00][font=Century Gothic]A bar appeared on screen indicating the download has began, however it's estimated time was about 25 minutes, which was no surprise due to the large amount of information that was in the files. The only thing Tom was worried about that someone might notice the huge amount of data transferred to this console, but that was something he would have to face when the time comes.

Ship Crew = green
The BPA)Metropolis[CCD] loomed over the city of Cambridge dominating the skyline like a second city casting a shadow under its pristine underbelly after having the newest and highly expensive electronic monitoring equipment in the last stages of being fitted in.
Captain Devante.Striker was nervous it was his first and only chance at a serious job and he wasn't taking any risks."Are we ready to start Project:Nexus?" he asked the female engineer."Yes sir we only have one staff member to get aboard the ship she will be the master and overseer of the projects ongoing.""Is she any good?" "she ran the communications on the Liner Shetland,received five merits and has a son working in the police force." "Good that's reassuring". "Captain?"
He looked at the engineer with a scrutinous look "don't you have matters to attend to"? she blushed "y....y...yes sir" she jogged down corridor."Ah this must be her now"
Tanya.Lawrence walked along the boarding chute in what some would say as a"unorthodox" style of clothing she wore a vest with a spectrum of medals.And three quarter length shorts with trainers. "And you are?" "Tanya Lawrence sunshine don't eye me up like that i aint a whore you can woo over." "Errr....errr....well ok?." She smiles "your not bad sunny.....right lets get this show on the road" she pulls out a remote and pushes a big purple button the room shakes and then steadies with machines whirring to life. The are cheers and whoops from the techies and engineers. Devante waits for his applause "you did a great job!" "Thank you" "yeh three cheers for Tanya! ".Devante rolls his eye in annoyance. 20 Minutes later
"This is your bridge sir"an engineer gestured towards the captains chair "Woah....this is nice!" he sits in his chair and sighs "systems check" "Engines 100% Weapons 100% Communications 100% all minor processes are running at optimum efficiency"."Excellent slow impulse in a low orbit " "aye aye captain"
[color=#FFCC00][font=Century Gothic]Tom got more and more nervous as the data download was underway, however he tried to to show it to anyone who might watch him. For an unknown reason he looked up. What he saw made all of his efforts of being less suspicious disappear in a second. He saw non other then a Bretonian Police vessel, a Bretonian Liner to be exact, slowly floating above the place he was. This event was most unexpected and Tom had no idea what to do. He looked back to the console screen, but the download was only at 25 % .
<span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:100%][color=#FFFFFF][font=Century Gothic]
- C'mon damn it, hurry up or I'll end in trouble ... Oops .. not so loud ...
After realizing his situation, he tried to stand in a way he could hide his data recorder which was plugged into the terminal. Then he slowly looked around to see if there were any police officers or anyone around who could cause problems...
[color=#FFFFFF][font=Century Gothic]
- Alright, the coast is clear, let's hurry up and get lost ... C'mon you piece of crap, hurry up!
[color=#FFCC00][font=Century Gothic]With growing pressure on him, Tom gazed at the console screen, with seconds going like days, as he waited for the download to be complete. All he was hoping for that the info he'll get will be worth it.
The Metropolis was under the scrutiny of Tanya Lawrence and evey one was working a optimum efficiency. Captain Devante.Striker sat in the captain's chair with and air of general relif that his first assignment had gone swimmingly. "Its so god dam hot in here" "That would be all the Machinery we are running " "Well project Nexus was a complete sucess lets bring her in" "aye aye sir"
The Metropolis turned slowly but surley towards the tall robust building of which the sabotuer resided in to a paranoid person it would have made them very aware that they were close to being caught.The Liner manouverd with expertise into the docking port and as the docking clamps were sealed on to the hatches a wieght was lifted of the entire crews shoulders be it was a different story for the sabotuer....
