"Already uploaded to a Helios. I can track your rogue relatively easily.' Clogori responded. "I think I need to get my ship somewhere more secluded for the time being. Do you want the Helios before I go?"

Svytoj ship departed for Clogori's location, leaving Svytoj as he marched toward the obelisk.
"Get your ship somewhere safe, and meet me here. Send the Helios before you arrive if you can."
Svytoj clenched his left hand, over and over, as he approached the ship.

Moments later, Clogori's ship flew overhead, dropping the Helios over Svytoj before flying into the distance. Clogori was looking for somewhere isolated to hide the ship for now.

With the Helios in tow, Svytoj proceeded towards the Obelisk, working to keep an eye on Abigail progression through the derelict ship.
Meanwhile, Svytoj's ship was following Clogori's.

Clogori's ship accelerated.

"Uh, Svytoj, is your ship supposed to be following me?" Clogori asked.

{Yeah, It sometimes has a mind of it's own. That said, It's doing exactly what I would have instructed it to do.} Svytoj said as he started marching the perimeter of the Obelisk.
{Should something go wrong, head for my ship. you should be able to find something of use in there if the quarantine gets out of hand.}

"Understood." Clogori responded. A while later, Clogori landed his ship close to an abandoned Grineer outpost relatively close to the abandoned Formorian.

Abigail ran deeper into the obelisk, sealing doors behind her as she ran. It wouldn't buy her much time, but she needed every second she could get.

"Almost there," she thought to herself, "Almost to the bridge..."

Svytoj's Mantis landed close by, waiting for Clogori's next move.

Shaking out her smoldering arm, Aria and presumably Mia accompany Svytoj, stopping just at the entrance. 

"Do you suppose dropping a meteor on this would be enough?~" the Valkyr asks nonchalantly, void radiating off her as the last of her wounds finish healing. Giving her arm a swing, she slings her greatsword onto her hand, though keeps her hand on the handle like a coiled spring, ready to unleash.

(on a different note: planning on jumping the camera back to Deadwood once this act plays out?)

"That's one option. And I'm beginning to consider it." Svytoj said as his Knux dug into the side of the ship, tearing a large chunk of the hull away.

Svytoj's ship began scanning the area, data passively being relayed to Clogori as it searched the landing zone.

Abigail finally reached the doors of the bridge, dashing inside as soon as it opened enough to let her through. She immediately ran over to the central control console, activating the engines. The ship began to shudder as the old, damaged engines sputtered to life.

Abigail began to pace nervously as the engines warmed up. If the tenno reached this room before they were ready, or if the engines were nonfunctional, everything would fall apart.

"I'll be honest." the Man said, tending to the various hole in his torso. "I wasn't expecting to see another Tenno for another... Oh say.. two hours..." He stood up as the red and black cloak draped over him, his hood and opaque helmet obscuring his face.
"Now you... you look like you're running from someone...that ol' TinMan ain't the one who's chasin' yah is he?"

Zaben is unnerved by the silence and decides to look out of the "door". He asks Rakan: "you think you can make a shield that'll appear if a bullet is fired at me?"

Rakan shakes his head.

Zaben: "Well then can you at least change it make it look more translucent."

Rakan nods.

Zaben: "alright do that, put one around my head and chest."

Zaben then grips his Baylor marelok, but hides it under his cloak to not come off as hostile immeadiately. He then pokes his head out and sees what's going on.

Aria instinctively jumps up onto the top of the ripped hole in the obelisk in a heartbeat, and proceeds to sprint, climb, dash, jump, swing, and parkour like a wildcat on top of the no longer quite to derelict derelict, making a beeline towards the bridge.

The psychic bolt shard tugs on slightly on Svytoj's arm ever so slightly before fading back into his internals, joined by a single solitary clang on the metal floor before disappearing back into the shadows as presumably the figure leaps and bounds her way towards the engine room, the intent hopefully clear.

[Race you to the top, I call *his* spleen and liver~!] the ever cheerful voice crackles over the Frost's radio

[...detainment would be ideal, but do what you have to...]

Svytoj rocketed down the halls, quickly jamming the fingers of his Knux into the seams in the large metal doors.
{One step at a time, you two. Let me know how things go on your end.} He said as he pried open
the first door.

Clogori was scanning several tissue samples he had retrieved from Tarnas. Something was... different about this strain. It spread too quickly. It took control too easily. He had tested them on a few animal test subjects (This is why everyone needs a hamster closet), and they had almost always been taken over within seconds, and became real Infested within a minute or two.

He knew he had to contact Svytoj about this, but he had a few more tests to run. Plus, he could blow his cover. He had to make sure no one found out his real motives before his work was done.

Abigail said nothing, walking back to the controls without turning her back to the stranger. She punched a button on the nearest terminal, and the ship began to groan loudly as its engines started to move it forward. Once it began to pick up speed, she exited to control room, quickly fading into the maze-like halls of the ship

The metallic creaking of Svytoj breaking though doors could still be heard from the control room.

The man kept humming his old earth tune, finally patching the last hole in his chest, as he waited for the frost to arrive.

Reaching the roof above the bridge, Aria leaps with vigor into the air as she unsheathes her greatsword and wraps it around her right hand with multiple riplines. Firing one more anchor down onto the hull from left arm, the white tendrils beginning to spin and whir and her blade glowing white hot. In one mighty aerial kick, the Valkyr P sends herself careening through the bridge sword drill first, barreling through the controls and tearing up the innards like an enraged berserk mole. Several times she nearly hits the lone figure, though she never quite does so. After the flurry of activity, she continues her void fueled tunneling through the exit and disappearing down the hallway, leaving a trail of destruction in her wake.

Reaching the engine rooms, Mia quickly flips the switches to open the blast shields containing the obelisks reactor tubes. Pulling out her bolt rifle as she runs back towards the blast doors, she charges up a mass of energy in the barrel. Stopping just at the open entrance, she raises the Latron P with one arm, and unerringly fires a single densified psychic round at the reactors, punching through all the reactors in one guided shot.
