Hunter woke up with a groan, placing his hand on his head as he came to his senses. He noticed his vibro-blade on the ground as he picked it up and sheath into its case, recalling his last encounter with the bounty hunter.

*Groans* "Mari? Mari!" Hunter yelled as he noticed her lying on the pavement next to him with blood spilling out of her hand, creating a small puddle beneath her.

Hunter immediately ran to her aid noticing a cut on her neck as he placed a hand on her body, his heighten senses detecting she was still alive. "Mari? Mari, wake up!" Hunter shook her as Mari stirred in her wake, letting out a groan.

I felt someone shaking me with their arms as I slowly opened my eyes, noticing Hunter looming over me with a concern look on his face. "Hunter?" I called out as I sat upright. I let out a groan as I felt pain going through my hand and I let out a gasp of horror in realization.

I raised my left hand to see it was completely drenched in blood with the bandages soaked as they started to peel off my skin, exposing my wound.

"Oh, shit!" I panicked as I held my left wrist in a state of shock. Hunter looked around to noticed a stand with cups and a water dispenser nearby, he instantly fill the cup as he came over to me.

"Easy, Mari. Relax, I got you." Hunter spoke as he spilled the water over my wound, washing away the blood as I clenched my teeth together in agony. Biting back a yell, Hunter pulled some gauze from his kit and wrapped up my hand the best he could.

I stood up from the ground, putting a hand to my neck to feel the blood staining the collar of my cloak. "Is it bad?" Hunter asked as I shake my head, flicking the blood off my fingertip.

"It's a only graze. I'll patch it up once I head to the ship, we have to find Omega first. Come on." I said as Hunter and I began running down the streets, keeping an eye sharp for that bounty hunter.

Meanwhile at the Marauder, Tech was on typing on his datapad to figure out how we would scramble the signature key and estimate the time to put the ship back together until he noticed a large box landing behind him, looking up to see Wrecker examining the hull.

"Wrecker, easy with my ship." Tech reminded him with Wrecker turning around to glare at him. "Your ship?"

Tech held an annoyed look on his face by Wrecker's accusation until he heard beeping coming from inside the hull. He looked past Wrecker to notice a device flashing back and forth on the buttons.

"There. That is the signature key." Pointing a finger at the device as Wrecker turned around to spot it, pulling it out from the hull and handing it towards Tech.

"With a slight adjustment, we'll be able to scramble our signature whenever we need to." Holding a tool in his hand until Tech and Wrecker heard Hunter's voice coming through the comms, noticing how breathless he sounded through the receiver.
