The Nighter - Cargo Hold Lower Levels
Commander (Y/n) "Ranger" Schmitt - Gray Raven
2040 Hours

Gray Raven hid behind a shipment crate. Looking through his binoculars, (Y/n) scans ahead for threats, and he did find some guards roaming around. These particular guards have four hands, the first pair clasped together above its head, while the others were posed as if they were praying like a monk. They had another pair of limbs that were dangling near its legs, and attached in them seemed to resemble crowbars. The guards wore a loose black robe with red strands draped over the black cloth, making it resemble the traditional Chinese straw raincoat known as suoyi, and it wore a black douli hat with red strands on the tip for its headwear, complimenting their overall look.

(Y/n) observed their pace, their movement path, and how long they stay on a spot before they move from to another point. He doesn't know what their abilities are and how capable they are, but they don't have the time to find out. "Liv, what do you got?"

"There are... ten of those guards, Commandant, but there could be more incoming. According to my scans, their materials are made of combined high-density alloy and lightweight hardwood." Liv reported her findings with a hint of wonder. "Probably to reduce their weight to a minimum."

"I already scanned their model. Their memory data is most likely stored in the chips in their back." Lee said.

"Can you copy their memory data without destroying their memory shell?" Lucia queried.

Lee hummed. "I can. I just need their chips."

Lucia nodded. "I'll retrieve the chips."

"Liv, you try hacking into their cores for the meantime." Lee gave the support Construct a task.

"Got it." Liv said.

"That said, whoever attempted to kidnap the Commandant never showed up or made another move." Lee brought up.

"...Regardless, I won't ever let Commandant out of sight again." Lucia firmly declared, and made sure that she made it a promise to herself.

"Relax. I'm not gonna let them have me that easily." (Y/n) eased her up, still observing with his binoculars, earning a rather dissatisfied hum from her.

"There's also another thing I noticed." Liv said with a frown. "None of the humans or mechanoids on the ship show signs of infection, but their vitals are weak, indicating poor health..."

"Something tells me there's a whole lot of secrets on this ship." Lee remarked. "If we had more data to analyze, maybe we can extract useful information from those mechanical puppets."

"We're about to." (Y/n) puts away his binoculars and prepares his battle rifle. "Lucia, we'll lead the way. Same style as the Museum Estate. Lee, Liv, you two stay here we clear off the guards ahead. I want constant updates on enemy movement, Liv."

"Roger." The Constructs affirmed with a nod.

Activating her EM camo, Lucia went first, while (Y/n) maintained a close distance nearby. They split up, taking their own sectors, now being obstructed by the crates.
