"The money is tempting, but so is living..." The operative mumbled. "Well... there is clearly a lot of effort being put into security... Meh, we're probably fine."

A moment later, an announcement came over the intercom.

"Departure in one hour. I repeat, departure in one hour."

Frost tilted his head up slightly as he listened. "One hour, eh? Fancy security systems, well-timed departure announcements...quite luxurious by my standards." he joked.
"Well, buckle in folks," he said, continuing to watch the box on the security monitor, "This is sure to be interesting."

The Limbo walked up to the group escorting the box, and started speaking to them.

"Move faster. We're departing in an hour, and I think our hired guns may be getting suspicious." He said. "Tarnas must not escape..."

On the Bridge, there was an argument going on between two operatives, both working at consoles.

"If we use Jupiter to gain velocity, we can make a transfer to Europa and get to the Relay a week early!" A shorter operative pointed out.

"Or we'll end up in the middle of a battle, get shot down, and freeze to death! Do you realize how unsafe the area around Europa is? Grineer and Corpus fleets have been fighting for months!" A surprisingly tall operative responded, raising his voice. "We can skip Europa, and still arrive ahead of schedule!"

Frost went over to the fighting operatives ((if they're next to each other, he stands near/between them, and if they're like, a bit further away, he stands between them)) and held up both hands. "Hey, whoa. No need to yell, we can figure this out calmly. Not gonna lie, I like the sound of getting there early, but we're only getting paid if we don't mess this up, right? We should take the safer route, rushing will only lead to mistakes."
Again, a small puff of mist resembling a sigh emerged from the front of his helmet. "I've been in some tight spots before. Use that extra wiggle room to your advantage, yeah?"

"Everything the relay needs. Food, water, alloys, and various other items. I don't know why the boss hired us to do this now, considering they received an actual shipment three weeks ago." The Operative noted. "Seems a bit pointless."

The Operative turned and looked at Elm.

"Hey, do you have a name?" He asked.

"We have, but we try to be discrete about it." He replied as the thermal scans showed up on the display. There was a humanoid shape, barely showing up. It was likely the humanoid was in a cryopod. Surrounding him, however, was a constantly-shifting blob of red, almost definitely a lifeform.

"Oh... Oh, dear Higby... Is that Infested?" He asked.

"I do infact. It's Elm. Not really a standard name for a hitman I suppose, buuut I get the job done at the very least" Elm answered.

A metallic green scimitar entered the cruiser's airspace, the rocky world that is Phobos looming bellow.
{"This is Tenno transport Vigil Sovereign responding for request for assistance. Permission to come aboard?"} The voice asked over the Comms.

"Make your way to the main hangar. Our employer will meet with you ASAP." A generic voice responded. "We are departing in 52 minutes."

"Isn't that some kind of tree?" The Operative responded as he walked through the cargo bay, walking past stacks of crates. "I know I've heard that before."

The craft quickly made it's way into the hanger, gently docking next to the other Tenno ships present.
"Well... Here we go again..." The Voice said, The silver and  dark-green Vauban exiting the scimitar, making it's way into the main ship.

The hangar was busy, to say the least. Perrin Sequence operatives running around, carrying crates, were entering and leaving the hangar. They all looked like whatever they were doing was extremely urgent.

"So when does this mission begin exactly?"

"Departure in 1 hour. I repeat. Departure in one hour." Said a voice over the intercom. The Operative merely looked at Elm and shrugged.

(Things will get intense this weekend, after I close recruitment.)

The Vauban pressed his way into the ship, watching the flurry of crew-members moving their cargo. It began tapping on it PDA, trying to locate any other Tenno on the ship.

There was a single Tenno on the Bridge, a Tenno in the cargo bay, and two Tenno near each other close to the cargo bay. Besides that, there were no other Tenno.

The operatives both looked at the Frost, and were startled by the Tenno. A moment later, one of them regained their composure and responded to the Frost. The one that responded as the one arguing for the Europa transfer.

"Hey. With all of these rumors about that box, I want my paycheck and an excuse to get off of this ship ASAP."

"I hope not. I'd rather avoid anything a Tenno considers "fun"." The Operative responded nervously. "No offense. I'd just prefer not dying between here and the Relay."

(And with that, I'm closing recruitment. Time for the fun things to begin!)

He nodded, looking thoughtful.

"Fair enough, but I get the feeling leaving in a coffin isn't part of your goal here. I'm also suspicious of the box, of course, but I'd rather find out what's up in a controlled environment than if the thing gets smashed open when we do a nose-dive into a planet."
"You've got Tenno with you on this ship. We'll make it through."

Elm followed the operative to the cargo bay.

"I see we have quite a nice little group here, if I say so myself" he spoke, talking about the other operatives around the place.

The Vauban began making it's way towards the cargo hold, keying in on the Tenno nearby.
Large crew, lots of commotion, indiscriminate call for aid, What exactly is going on here?

"It doesn't matter, anyway. Our employer will be making all of the decisions. We just have to make sure the ship survives." The shorter one commented. "I can't stand him, personally."

On the way to the cargo bay, several operatives almost bumped into the Vauban, barely managing to move to the side quickly enough in the crowd.  The crew was clearly preparing for their imminent departure.

"Well, if your job is to make sure the ship survives, the better option is skipping Europa." Frost crossed his arms. "Seems like there's not a lot of trust between the crew and the ones in charge around here. I agree, not the best setup. I suppose that happens when people are doing jobs for the paycheck." He uncrossed his arms. "But hey," he said in an upbeat voice, "If you end up planning a mutiny, I'd like to know."

"Honestly, the idea of a mutiny seems pretty tempting right now." The shorter one responded. "If things go wrong, even if the boss can take the entire Bridge crew, news will spread in minutes. The entire ship will be against him."

"Well, that can be plan B then. Plan A is carry through as planned and get some sweet, sweet credits. After all, anything going awry means more risk of the sketchy box being opened unsafely." He gave the two a nod to mark his departure from the conversation and returned to the security console, scanning for all Tenno on board and taking note of the layout of the ship - the engine room, after all, would be one example for a bad place to end up in a firefight, and that was what this mission looked to be moving towards quickly.

"Well well, what a surprise meeting you here," a voice said from nearby. A cloaked figure leaned against a nearby stack of crates, his sleeveless robes exposed the void keys embedded in his arms. Though his hood covered his upper face, his grin was still clearly visible.

The Operatives got back to work, preparing for departure. Another announcement  came over the intercom a moment later.

"Departure in 45 minutes. I repeat, departure in 45 minutes."

The suspicious box was being moved into the cargo bay, finally. When it was placed down, it was immediately surrounded by other crates.

The Vauban moved through the sea of operatives, side-stepping them as It went.
It stopped, looking for where the voice had come from, finally setting eyes on the robed man.
The Vauban adjusted it's stance, moving the golden katana sheathed at its side towards it's back.
"Do I know you, inquisitor?" The Voice said as Vauban subtly cocked it's head.
