"And - there!"
The door to the cargo bay of the wrecked freighter flung open, clanging loudly against the wall as it hit. Four men, clad entirely in bulky protective suits, pushed through the doorway and immediately hobbled as quickly as they could toward the large crate in the center of the room.
"It didn't go off yet, but I'm willing to bet this thing is still active," the one in the lead said. "Grab a crowbar and pry that box open, but make sure there aren't any wire triggers attached to the wood. The thing isn't sending off any infrared at all, so we're not worrying about proximity or movement triggers."
The team worked carefully for half an hour, opening the crate and examining the bomb, before the leader finally said "Ok, it's a dud, alright. Grab that piece of wood and let's get the hell out of here before we overdose on radiation."
The four-man Zion bomb squad hurried out of the freighter, into the narrow tunnel shaft leading to Zion. One was carrying a plank that bore a painted logo on it:
"TRUE BELIEVERS BA ARTIFACT G61 4900"

((Most Zion operatives were there when I was trying to set it off, so it's not like it'd be hard to just present evidence that it was, you know, the BADGUY who did it. ))

Upon instruction The Binary Revolution made course for the surface and to run patrols over the fields. However it would never reach its destination as 2 Hovercrafts now stood in its way blocking the tunnel. “True Believer hovercraft you are ordered to stand down and come with us back to Zion.” Halcyon stared blindly at the aggressors sitting in front of them. Aaroun sitting in the co-pilots seat had a similar expression. There IFF transponders registered as Zion However there tone of voice said “hostile.” Still slightly dumbfounded Hal hit the transmit button on his console. “What seams to be the problem officer?” The voice of tonic spoke up from the holograpics station. “They just turned there turrets on us Capt.” “We will not ask again. Stand down and Assume escort position.” Desperately Hal punched at the transmit button again. “Alright. Alright. Take it easy gents. Were taking up escort position." Hal turned the craft while two Zion took up escort formation. One taking the lead while the other trailed behind. Aaroun shot Hal a look which he interpreted as. "Why are you giving in?" Hal just replied with a cheeky grin. He loaded up a map of the tunnels ahead on his pilot side screen and studied it while they travelled on. About an hour into the slow journey Hal promptly spoke up. "Be ready to cut all lower pads." He nodded to something in the tunnel ahead and Aaroun caught on to his plan with a smile. The plodded on for a few seconds. There captors totally oblivious to the plans of the others. "NOW!" The Revolution fell like a brick down a small drop off in the tunnel system. it must have been only about 30 meters into a lower tunnel but the hovercraft barely had enough time to reactivate the lower pads. Only inches from the ground the craft was airbourne again and now speeding down the tunnel before the two above had enough time to turn around and give chase. "Get a message off to base. tell them whets happening. Then rig for silent running. We will lose them in the tunnels and sneak back to base once the heat is off." ((We are bad bad people .))
