Parker and Annabelle's exchange looks and back at Jill, "Sir, what is going on?" Jill asks him. O'Brian sighs 

Uhh, you out of time, I'm afraid. A rescue just isn't possible. Chris is traveling by sea. He won't reach you in time.

O'Brian informs her, Jill's face light up, "Chris! He's alright?!" she asks him, 

No time to explain. I'll do what I can to stop the attack. O'Brian out.

He said and then hung up. "Shit! This is the worse day of my life." Parker swore, "Night. It's still 11." Annabelle corrects him. The three then headed back down into the Observation deck, 

Jackass here. The Chief has filled me in on your predicament. there's only one thing you can do: Confuse the Satellite's targeting system. 

Kent informs them, "And how the hell do we do that?" Parker asks as they were back inside. "With something strong enough to draw the lock on away from us." Annabelle answers. 

I know everything about that ship. I can figure this out. Just get back inside for now. I'll radio you again soon. 

He said and hung up. The three paces in the room. "So how are we going to do this?" Parker asks as they walk to the elevator, "We'll figure something out, or your buddy will. I hope." Annabelle states and they went down.

~8~8~8~

They were out in the lounge as the elevator suddenly stopped, "What the fuck?!" Annabelle snaps, the door opens and they half pass the floor, "Damn it! It stopped!" Parker states and they jump up into the floor. "No shit, Sherlock!" Annabelle states as she pulls out her machine gun. Then they walk to the stairs. 

I know what you have to do. you've gotta use the UAV.

Kent informs them, "Say what?" Annabelle asks, "The UAV? There's a drone plane on this ship?!" Jill asks him 

Yep. Veltro used it to carry out its attacks last year. It's in a container on the foredeck.

Kent answers them the two behind Jill exchanged looks and followed her down the hall. 

The UAV can discharge chaffs that'll throw off the satellite's targeting system. 

He informs them, "OK. Then the foredeck is where we're going." Parker states Annabelle, nods at him as they head into the stairs. 

Then you better move fast. Kent out. 

Kent said and hung up. The walk through the lounge, to the door, but stop as they say Raymond on the phone with someone. "Yes. I see, I'll do what I can to stop the Regis—I need to go," he said and hung up the phone. Annabelle narrows her eyes as she was glaring at him, knowing that he was up to something.

He then steps out and stood in front of them, "Do you want to die with Veltro, or do you want to live?" he questions them. Jill and Parker look at him, "Head to the foredeck. I'll do what I can here." he states and the door opens, letting the three inside, Annabelle looks over her shoulder as she was glaring at Raymond, he glares back at her with his arms crossed and the door closes. 

Annabelle scoffs and looks away from the door "It's Raymond. How does he know what we're trying to do?" Jill questions as they waited as the wheel was turning.

Neither of them answered as the door opens and they step outside, "Hurry, Jill! The UAV's in the foredeck!" Parker informs them. But they saw B.O.Ws bodies laying around, "What the?" Annabelle questions as they walk through the door, she went on ahead as the two followed her, then walk through the door and saw something scurry away, "What the hell was that?!" she questions, then chase after it. "Annabelle, wait!" Jill calls out as the two followed her.
