*Culebra Mining Facility*

Doctor Timothy Dahn?

Thats what I was told. Nightengale responded as she looked down at Cesar. My sources say he has a patient there, another Junker. It seems like this Hyung came into contact with the nomads.

Cesar stood up from his desk and paced back and forth across the room. So is this doctor some expert on nomads?

Nightengale shrugged. I dont know, but I am sure he knows more than I do.

Dont sell yourself short Night you saved his life.

Nightengale sighed. Did I? Or did I make it worse?

You stopped the infection didnt you? Thats a start.

I guess but I had to freeze him to do it.

Cesar frowned, Cryofreeze technology is as old as the sleeper ships. Its tried and true dont worry.

But what if

Enough of that. So where do we find this guy?

Last report I received was that the Doctor was at the medical facility on Rochester.

Alright well have the crew load Diego on the ship, full bio suits for everyone. I dont want any slip ups.

Ok are we taking the cruiser?

Yeah. Cesar responded. Its the only ship secure enough to transport him. Beside we need to see if the repairs went well. Get everyone ready Night.

Nightengale nodded and walked out.

Cesar sat back down at his desk and fiddled with the comms. He punched in a password and waited for the secure light to come on. Ratchet you there?

After several minutes a series of 1's and O's appeared. The computer converted them and a synthesized response came back, I am here.

How is it going?

It is going well. I have disabled the other robot and I am beginning alterations now.

Alright well be safe and dont get caught.

Do not worry; they do not suspect a thing. Ratchet out.

Cesar stood and headed to the docking bay, he hoped Ratchet would be alright.


*Rochester Medical Facility*

Im sorry Governor but Doctor Dahn has left for Manhattan.

Cesar frowned at the nurse. And his patient?

Um, we dont have any records of a patient named Hyung.

Really? Thats interesting.

The nurse glanced around then whispered. I cant be certain but I think someone erased his files.

She stepped back and said loudly. Sorry sir. Is there anything else I can do for you?

No. Thanks for the assistance.

Cesar and Nightengale headed out to the docking bay.

Why would someone erase the files? Nightengale asked.

Im not sure. But there is more to this than meets the eye. We need to find this Doctor Dahn and see if he can help us.

Ok I will tell the crew to get ready.

No we cant take the cruiser to close to Manhattan; something of that size will not be welcome. Im surprised the navy didnt stop us on the way in to New York."

Well it barely looks like a cruiser, Nightengale said with a slight smile. Looks more like a floating debris field.

Heh, well she was built to guard Rochester. Im just glad the Hessians sold her to us for such a good price. Lets take the Tiburon, the order upgraded her communication systems. We should be able to send the coded messages to Ratchet without a problem.

Wont the LPI be upset about a Rogue ship that close to New York?

Heh they wont see her.

Huh?

There is a blind spot near Manhattan, Carmen told me about it.

Nightengale frowned. Speak of the devil.

Carmen sauntered into the docking bay and stood in front of the two. Are we ready to leave?

Your coming? Night asked barely concealing her disdain.

She glanced at Nightengale, Yes. We are financing this.

Financing? Night asked.

Ahem yeah Night they have given us some money.

You mean the cruiser

No that was my money. Ratchets ship however was all them.

Nightengale sighed Ok what about Diego?

He will have to stay on the cruiser until we find out whats going on. I dont want to bring him on Rochester just yet.

Good idea, Carmen added.

You think we will get any answers on Manhattan?

I hope so Night, I hope so.
