"And should there be an attacking force then what will we do? Grapple one ship while the others blast us. While I am forced to agree that it would certanly be more interesting then dropping off cargo, like the good commander said we are not Military and are under no obligation to follow those orders.

In the very least we should be given compensation for our side trip, good favor doesn't supply us with meals or fuel.
 

Faris seems lost in thought for a minute or so, then he replies to Melara. "Do as the the nice admiral says." Then he flicks on the comm to reply to the Admiral Nelson himself "Captain Faris Namir speaking, Admiral. We're diverting course as ordered."

"While we're still in communications range lets take a moment and consider the fact that my crew is about to risk life and limb in a potentially hazardous situation in a ship that really isn't built for it. I have to consider my crew's needs as well as those of Unity personnel. I would like to request that we recieve salvage rights on all forces involved in this emergency, whether we do anything more than scout or not, save Unity vessels that can be refitted to working order.
 

Mel exchanges a glance with Damon and nods.

"Setting course for the way station," she says. "Would this be a good time to ask if this bucket is armed?"
 

"Good move, "Captain"; I'll go prepare the medical area. Michael says, unbelting and drifting toward the converted med bay.
 

At Melaras question, Cnosos blinks "If it does have some sort of defenses I could possibly do some upgrades on them. You know, just for shoot something that can actually do some damage"
 

Damon taps the control consoles, bringing up schematics and diagrams as he brings the ship's weapon systems online. "Looks like we've got a pair of fire-linked needle drivers. Schematics indicate simple vanadium armor plating, though she does have a magnetic shielding system. All systems are operating within normal parameters. She ain't a warship, but I guess she'll have to do."
 


The admirals voice booms from the comm. "Salvage rights! I knew it would be bad idea to give out privateer rights. Okay son. Since you don't officially exist you can take what you want. But if there's any of our folk alive, their safety is the first priority. And be careful out there."

The weaponry can be accessed from the two hatches in the bridge. It is possible for two to man both the stations and shoot at separate targets or for one to man one station and link the guns to work in unison. You are nearing the jump-point to the Way-station. Better to buckle up.
 

Damon double checks his safety harness and turns his attention back to his controls. "Weapons and targeting systems primed and online."
