Three shrugged, hands in her pockets, "But we do. We don't know what to expect." Her voice grew more and more tense as she walked, teeth gritting in frustration, "We know nothing, we have no intel. This could be home, this could be a hostile station, this could be literally anything!" Her hands clenched into fists as she walked onto the bridge and headed towards the comms panel, "We have no reason to believe that we're going to leave this station alive and we have no way of knowing!" About to slam her fist into the button to activate subspace communications, a little light caught her attention and frustration swept through her. They'd just opened the freaking doors and those idiots must've boarded the station. With no backup or without even telling everyone where they were going. Running a hand into her hair, she leaned down to smack her head against the metal console, letting out a short cry of pure frustration, "WHY THE HELL IS THIS HAPPENING?"

Six just shrugged at Five's criminal remark. But if they were actually criminals, why would they come to such a crowded place? She watched him make his way down the ramp, feeling a bit of hesitation. Maybe they should wait for the rest of the crew? Five didn't even have a weapon yet, and she hadn't loaded the gun... Groaning in frustration, she took of after him. "Do you even have any idea what you're doing?" She snapped, actually hoping he had an answer. Her hands were beginning to tremble a bit. Apparently she wasn't good with crowds.

"Haha, hell no," Five replied, running a hand through his curls, which were falling in his face again, as he made it to the actual walkway. It was bigger than it had seemed, but no one seemed to be walking towards them, so so far he was at ease. He found it weird, that he felt better here than he did in the ship, but he didn't mention it as he turned a three-sixty and began walking again, aimlessly. The ship was big enough that they wouldn't lose it if they didn't leave the dock.

"Oh, sweet Jesus..." Six said under her breath, letting out an exasperated breath. Oh, how she wanted to go back to the safety of the ship. But she couldn't just leave Five out here alone, especially after watching him turn in a complete circle. No one was approaching them, which was a bit of a relief, but that also meant they had to find their own answers, which also meant going into that huge crowd. Six turned her attention back to Five. He seemed to just be wandering, probably getting a feel for the place. Part of her wanted to stick close to him, having someone she knew even a little close by made her feel better, but the other part of her didn't want to move. She decided to be lazy and simply hoped Five wouldn't go too far.

Sheesh. One may have been taller than Three, but that girl could book it when she was angry. She was huffing a bit by the time they had reached the bridge, and she was really hoping that was just a side effect of stasis. She wet her lips anxiously in anticipation of talking to these people. After all, Three was right. She was a little frantic, but right; they had no idea what this was or who these people were. And instead she was met with some very loud exclaiming. Looking over Three's shoulder to see what caused the commotion, she scoffed. "What the hell... are they thinking?" Then she straightened up and took a deep breath. "Contact the station, I'll go get them back." She paused, then snatched the pistol from Three's holster. "They might need a little motivation." Turned out she wasn't above death threats when people were being stupid and jeapordizing the whole crew's lives. With that, she sprinted out of the bridge. Memorizing the ship's layout had its benefits, turned out.

She slowly drew herself upright, looking over at One's back as she walked away. A small smile tugged at the corners of her lips as she called out, "Thanks." At least someone on this ship had some sense. She found herself watching One go for a moment, then cleared her throat and glanced down at the comm panel and tapped away carefully, opening the line for communication between the ship and the station. She didn't have to wait long before a harsh voice crackled over the line, "Confirmation code?" Damn damn damn, Three silently panicked for a moment, trying to piece together a response. The voice repeated the request, a little more insistent this time. Three glanced around desperately, then slowly spoke up, "Uhhh, zero, three, two, zero, five, seven, seven?" It was the only thing she had resembling a code and the moment of silence on the line seemed to last for an eternity. Her heartbeat seemed to grow louder and louder as the silence stretched longer and longer until the voice returned, "Welcome Chimera, we thought you'd gotten caught in the blockade!" The voice was obviously relieved and she felt the weight lift from her shoulders, though the mention of a blockade had her wondering what was going on. As far as she knew, there hadn't been any issue reaching the station beside their stasis problem. As she pondered this for a moment, the voice continued, "Someone will be down to pick up the cargo in a half hour or so, you really saved our bacon. Gonna give those corporation goons a big surprise next time they show up!" Three found her voice and responded, "It's our pleasure. You, uh... got something for us?" There was another moment of silence on the line, then another voice, an older woman by the sound of it, seemed to take over the mic, "You get your pay when we get our guns, girly." The line clicked dead and Three slumped back, sighing in relief. Apparently they weren't about to die. How lovely.

Five knew that Six wasn't following, but he didn't mind. He brushed through the crowd, hands in his front pockets as he glanced around. There were mostly adults running around, moving cargo and talking in clipped voices. There were some kids here and there, a group of them passing by him in a hurry. They probably lived on the post, looking for dropped loot on the docks or something like that. As he walked, he caught someone staring. They were a woman, tall, set jaw and a level, steely gaze. He tried to ignore it. There was no way he had a beef with someone personally on this post, but he did make a U-turn, beginning to head back to Six and the safety of the ramp. He felt like a little kid in a pool that couldn't swim.

One winced at the resounding metal clanging of running down the ramp, stopping for a moment to look around, scope out the area. Squinting, she tried to recall a very vivid image of the backs of the heads of the crew, to no avail. Instead she could make out Six's garish eyepatch through the crowd, and eagerly pushed past people to reach her. "Six! What are you doing out here?" She sounded thoroughly pissed off as she reached out a hand to grab the other girl's shoulder. "Did anyone else come out with you?"

Six had taken up leaning on one of the rails, keeping a close eye on Five as he threaded through the crowd. How he could stay so calm while surrounded by countless strangers was beyond her. She shuddered at the thought of going down there herself. It was then she felt a hand clamp on her shoulder, followed by someone shouting her name. With a jump and a help, she whirled around to see a very pissed off One. Oops. "Did anyone else come out wit you?" At One's question, Six's eye widened when she realized she'd taken her gaze off Five. With a panicked look, she scanned the crown beneath them. Thankfully, she spotted Five right away, moving back towards them. She simply pointed at him, not trusting her voice to stay steady.

"Hey there, pal!" Five said exuberantly as he bounced over to the pair, smiling at One as he tried to forget the woman and forget his anxieties. He could tell she was pissed, and she had a gun, but he wasn't all to afraid of her. She couldn't shoot him from being curious. "It's bustling out here," he continued after a moment, casting a glance over his shoulder and throwing a glance over his shoulder into the crowd. The woman that he had seen was gone. Maybe she'd just seen his dashing good looks and thought: "Well, that's a nice looking young man!" Yeah, that was probably it.

One ground her teeth together for a moment in an attempt to calm herself down. She had to be thankful that neither of them had wandered off far, but she was still entirely baffled as to how they thought it was a good idea to go exploring. Grabbing both their arms, she began to march them back to the ship. Shutting the metal doors behind them, One pushed them both ahead of her. "Go to the bridge. And... gah, what the hell were you two thinking? Didn't you possibly considering the reppurcussions of simply waltzing on out somewhere we know nothing about? Without even being armed? Or having any way to communicate with us? And with amnesia?" She threw her hands in the air with her frustration. "Hey, Three, I got them," she spoke up upon entering the bridge."

"We were just going to look," Five said as she dragged them along, "nothing's going to happen in the one hundred yards from the ship that we went." Well, maybe two hundred for him, but whatever, right? It was fine. Nothing had happened, and they were inside safely, so he didn't get why she was so pissed off. He wasn't a baby, and neither was six. They were all grown adults here. No, he could feel himself getting mad. He gritted his teeth and blew air out his nose, stepping away from her and smiling, "Here I am."

Three turned towards them as she heard everyone walk in, breathing a sigh of relief. Shoving her hands into her pockets, she walked over to the group and gave everyone a long, slow look, "So I think we need to stick together better. I mean, at least until we get a better idea as to what's going on. If you'd gotten hurt or killed in there, we'd be at a severe loss." Smiling, she moved between them and wrapped her arms around the group, "We've. only got each other, I'd rather not lose any of you. We're lucky this time, it seems they were expecting us and in a good way." Letting go, she walked back over to the comm console and leaned against it, "We're supposed to drop off the guns here, sounds like these guys are in the middle of some sort of scuffle with the corporation that owns the station. Hence why the guns aren't logged."

Six blinked in surprise at Three's reaction. She had been expecting to get chewed out; Hell, she even had a retort ready! She was almost disappointed, how was she supposed to respond to a hug? "Yea, okay," was her only response. Although she wanted to sound defiant, her words came out soft and calm. She watched Three make her way back over to the console and lean against it. Tilting her head a bit, she took a few steps forward. "So, are they gonna come get'em or do we have to make a delivery?"

"If we're delivering, how we gonna do that?" Five put in, glancing around at the others in the room, "we have no idea what we're delivering, and like I said, there's nothing in the logs." Plus, where would they be supposed to go? They had no idea. It gave him a bit of anxiety again, but he took a deep breath, and tried to ignore it once more. He didn't want to be physically uncomfortable around all of these people, cause he felt like he was trying to keep up just a bit of a... macho appearance.
