Grey started moving toward the pneumatic freight elevators, while Rusty and Moreau kept an eye out for any odd movements other than droids. The four men boarded the elevator to the command center, and in seconds - not without a gravitational jolt that sent Rusty's stomach to the floor - they arrived at the command center above the bay's busy floor.

All four men had their hand weapons out as they approached the door to the command center. The door was locked. Grey turned to Chen, who pulled out a small square box. "I'll have it open in less than - "

"See if you can contact any other command centers on the planet. Chen, Moreau, take a look around here a little more, see if anyone's hiding in the closet."

The two men nodded and fanned out.
