Delay Part 60

As the Commander went into the tower hall, one of SW-3 arrived.

"Commander we have captured a Gray. We don't know if he is still alive. We shot him with the microwave rifle," he reported. "We also have a head in a specimen box."

"SW-2 support SW-3 getting the alien in the autopsy room and check if he is still alive," the Commander ordered then reported to the Icarus.

They brought the motionless alien down. Then Major Yamada went in.

"Sir, you seen our capture. We also have a head and two alien hand guns. As already reported I shot one of the turtle faces with the microwave rifle. It worked using maximum power. They were too close to try any other power level. But now we know the armor protects them from our microwave rifles."

"Good, I have another mission you escort Archer to your shuttle near the canyon. We need your drones. Archer will send them to the cave for investigation. You then, will either leave with him to the Icarus or we stay a bit longer for the interrogation. I don't think the Captain wants the Gray on the ship," the Commander informed him.

"Affirmative. When do we depart with Archer?" Yamada asked.

"I need to speak with the Icarus and Archer should be finished with the preparation. He needs to know how many drones you have. You see him over there on this laptop." The commander pointed to Samuel location which was in one of the rooms of the tower hall which had a table and seat. Yamada saluted and went to him.

"Commander he is alive," Freeman reported over wireless connection.

"Good. Tell me when he is awake. Speed it up if you can," the Commander replied and switched to Icarus communication. "Captain the drone plan will work. We need a combat drone to relay the signals. Everything else is preparing Archer now. When he is done we need the shuttle of SW-3."

"Perfect, then we prepare a combat drone for that and synchronize with Archer. I inform you when the shuttle is on its way. Is the departure prepared?" the Captain asked.

"Yes, but as mentioned we have captured a Gray. He is still unconscious. I think we should interrogate him at least. I don't guess you want him on board the Icarus," the Commander informed.

"Interesting. As he is alive, that changes things a bit." The captain was thinking. "Well, delay your departure a bit. An interrogation would be useful. You are right I would not like him on the ship but I have to think over it. Inform me when the alien is awake."

"How far should we go with the interrogation? I let him wake up in the autopsy room," the Commander asked.

"It's your choice. Just adapt to the situation. As we have not lost people we don't have to be aggressive. But also they shot at us first and did unauthorized exterminations as far we can tell. If they done more to Ryan and Caine we don't know it yet," the Captain replied.

"I will stream it up. So you can follow and write me questions if needed. Also we got a Gray head specimen in a box."

"Very well. I discuss with Watkins what else we cando," the Captain finished the communication then ordered a conference at theIcarus. Max was informed to work out with the drone command team the detailsSamuel needed.
