"Sir, I suggest cooling him down. In close quarters he could kill everyone in there if he happens to use a grenade." The Janitor said into the mic. Or a fuel line... He thought, hoping that the walls were strong enough to stand a bullet.

Illimana quickly shoved it back into the bag, *Another one?* he thought, he had his weapon ready as Acde flew right infront of them, *Can't shoot with a proper vision of what or how it looks!* he thought and awaited any given order by Takeshi, his hand-com ready, any other command given to him should be right on anytime!

Takeshi jumped forward when Acde charged. He tried to aim his gun at the fake Acde, but had a hard time telling the two apart. "Just what we needed." He pressed the collapse button on his rifle and put it on his back-holster before it had even finished collapsing, then pulled the small device that was on his left hip off. It expanded to look like a pistol with a huge scope on it. He turned on the infrared scope, then he knew who to shoot. "Everyone, use infra-red! Acde will show up with a higher heat sig!" He aimed his gun then pulled the trigger, letting a barrage of high-caliber pistol rounds fly.

Acde was going at the clone with one lethal strike after the other, in quick succession. He wouldn't have cared even if the first one had hit home killing the being. He would have hacked up the body with the rest of his blows still. The smile had dissapeared from the clone's face. He was attacking Acde with the same intensity but hitting his own armor in return or being dodged.
Suddenly he was hit on the side by a barrage of bullets. The armor deflected all of them but the high speed knocked him to one side. Acde had jumped back waiting for the volley to end. As soon as the last bullet hit the armor, the clone started getting back into position. But Acde had got the fraction of a second he needed to get a strike through the armor. While the clone was immobilized, he had flipped one of his curved blades in his hand making the sharp edge point upwards. He lunged forward and stuck the knife through the clone's chin, through his jaw into the skull. Tilting the already dead clone's head upwards, he passed the other blade right below his forehead.
As he let go of the body and let if fall in front of him, he withdrew the bloody knives and sheathed them behind his back. Looking down at the motionless body, he picked it up with one hand, holding onto his neck and smashed the face into the side of the tunnel wall. He didn't want to look at his own face on that body. He knew the others would have their guns trained at him now and wont make the mistake of going for his armored body again. His head had no armor fused in to protect and a direct hit would kill him. He just stood there looking down at the body breathing heavily, his armor beginning to hurt again.

Takeshi kept his pistol trained on Acde's clone, but kept his distance from Acde. "Illimana, check that crystal to see if it's a data crystal," he said into his comm. "It might tell us more about where this clone came from. Janitor, you have any sensors up yet?" He slowly approached Acde. "You okay?" He was ready to switch his target at a moments notice if he had to.

Illimana sheated his gun to kept half a eye at the 2 reapers, he picked the crystal up and sighed *One wierd data crystal, it is unfamiliar to the scanner, and by the last update if anyone knew about it it should've reconned it, perhaps it is protected by metallic dust chemically manipulated to confuse any data... Would explain the wierd glow!
"I'll try to uncover what it is Captain, but in worse case if this is a data crystal it might be damaged, god knows what happened down here and with this crystal before it got quiet here!" Illimana spoke in the head-set.
he picked his hand-computor up and scanned it for any manipulation done to it, why Illimana hadn't thought of it earlier was that since this high-tech developed manipulation stuff was too new to be heard among most of the people... And this half bad technology down this very mine did not seem as a place to keep such good developed stuff...
As he thought, it had been manipulated... Now to clean it without damaging more eventuall data. [CLEAN/SCAN/FILE]- button appeared at screen, he agreed to the info and pushed the button, meanwhile this was doing it's thing Illimana could do nothing more than wait and see how lucky they where.
*Seems... Any group who's been down here have been put through some wierd stuff... It shouldn't be possible for such a low mining facility to have such things as the chemical manipulated metallic dust... Almost invisible and impossible to find, but why and how did they get the hold of it... I do not dare to think about what else the reasons could be...* Illimana though suddenly interrupted by a bright bleeping sound, *Done...* he figured and checked the data, "We are lucky captain, it contains file reports and confidential data secretly held by someone in this mine... I will send it over to you and you may find what you're looking for... There is something else as well... Something about a man, a doctor that had been specially placed at this mine, but what do such a high quality scientist do at a mining colony?" Illimana questioned and stated private communication with Captain Takeshi as he awaited a theory and a few replies!

((OOC: Um... this place isn't a mine. It's a research facility and archaeological dig site. >.> ))

"Yeah, I am fine." The pain had actually helped him come back to his senses. "Look, I need something from you. You seem to have access to information about the Reaper program. I need access, now." He paused turning away from the body. "I thought I had put an end to it for good. Obviously I missed something..." *or someone...* He thought to himself but didn't say it. "Maybe when this mission is over, you can help me with the... clean-up of whats left of the program."
He hoped Takeshi won't try to stop him otherwise he would have a problem on his hands. He had no access to the information and needed him for that. He couldn't allow any more Reapers to exist.

Takeshi gave a puzzled look to Acde. "Unfortunately, that won't be something I can do until we get back to the Ulysses. I'll decide then." But how you perform down here will way heavily on that decision... he thought to himself. "For now, let's keep going. We need to find Grace." He waited for Acde to go first, clearly a little unsure of what to expect from this almost-insane kid.

((OoC: Sorry, I sort of got that impression, but it looks like one in my mind which is also a factor for my touch of confusion :S ))

Acde had no choice but to accept the conditions. "Fine, lets get on with it...", he paused as he held up a hand to his chest. His armor had started hurting badly now. He wished it would go away. He closed his eyes for a few seconds getting his mind off the rage that was filling it and back to the task at hand. "Lets just hope the Lt. Cmdr. didn't mistake it for me."

Takeshi tapped his comm. "Go ahead and send that information to the Ulysses, Illimana. They'll know what to do with it." He looked over the clone one more time, then looked back to Acde. "She'd notice the personality difference at least." He proceeded down the hallway. The passage ended in a large solid bulkhead. He tried to open it with the codes that he knew, but none of them worked. He tapped his comm again. "Hey, one of you techies want to open the door for us? We got another locked one and my codes aren't working again. Unless..." he turned off his comm. "Acde, do you know the code for this door?"

"Yes, the personality is something that takes time to develop, something these clones will never have as long as I am around", he commented. As they walked forward, they encountered the door. It suddenly hit him that the reaper had been gaurding this door! Whatever was behind the door was even more important than the knowledge of the existence of the clones.
"No, I do not know the code. This was as far as the civis had come before they started on a different tunnel bacause they couldn't get the door open. Hopefully you have someone better in your squad.", he added. He was curious to see what secret was the door protecting.

Illimana nodded and quickly pre-sent the data from the crystal to the Ulysses...
With nothing much else to do Illimana walked around the area looking for any interresting details of the place, *Boxes, more crates... Hmm, these endless crates of junk does it ever end?* he asked himself as he opened one after another in hope to be lucky with clues...
