''Once we're all fueled up, it's off to retrieve Xeno!'' Maya said cheerfully as she carried galloons of oil to the ship.

They already fixed the control room (the part where they blew it off with grenades during the take-over) and thankfully the damage isn't that severe. [Name] is impressed on how Senku and the others we're able to perfectly create this sailing ship. But then she recalled that there is a sailor in their group and another person who look like he worked on submarines before, probably a sonar-man or a member of the SDF? He must have been the one who is in charge of the radars, primitive version of it.

''[Name]? Why are you preparing this room?'' Charlotte asked as the h/c nette folded the sheets and putting it back to the closet, ''If you're here then who is operating the ship?!''

''Hm?'' She perked up and turned to see Charlotte going on a full panic mode, ''Leonard is there and few others who worked at Navy.'' [Name] then patted the girl's shoulder and gestured for her to follow, ''I forgot who it was but I'm certain.... someone is injured.''

And by some amazing timing, Maya entered the room, carrying a man and rested him on the bed.

''Just stick him in the med-bay, right?''

The other soldier looked at Matsukaze in suspiciously, ''On the ship though? Is he coming with us?''

''No issue here.'' Stanley said, ''If he dies, we'll toss him overboard. If not, he's a hostage we can use against the junior science brigade.''

Ginrou hid in one of the cabins and warily look around in case a guard decided to came by.

''Lord Ginrou!!''

The blonde turned to see his friend and he is more than happy to see an ally, ''Ah! Matsukaze, you came back for me! I hid, but then everyone was gone, I didn't know what to do, so......''

''I surmised that you were likely still aboard what is now the enemy ship!'' The warrior said in a low voice, careful not to reveal their location to the enemy who might be lurking around the corner, ''You planned to infiltrate... and spy on them to find valuable information, did you not?!''

Ginrou look at him dumb founded before responding with the usual smug tone in his voice, ''Erm, sure. More or less. Shoulda known you'd guess my intricate plan, Matsukaze! But now that I think about it... let's scram! I mean, brave as I am, I couldn't run on my own....''

He was hoping that Matsukaze was thinking the same thing as him though that is highly unlikely since they could no longer escape.

''Hang on, do we even know where the science kids are headed?''

Charlotte then came bursting into the room, saying their hostage is not in the med-bay. [Name], Maya, Stanley and two others followed the trail of blood on the wooden floors and found the missing person, clutching his injured shoulder.
