Glico stared at the scans for a moment, then decided something.
"I could take out their engines and comms. But the alliance would find em someday, and they'd come lookin'." Glico look to the captain "So, want me to blow 'em up?" she grinned.

Mantichorus pulled himself awake. The engines had stopped...
"Hell." He growled. As he left his quarters, he bumped into Soul. "What's going on?" He asked.
Soul shrugged. "Glico called Teela to the bridge a minute or so ago. Why?"
"The engines have stopped. Something's wrong."
The two men walked to the bridge.
"What's wrong?" Soul asked.
"Alliance Romanus-class transport bearing down on us." Glico responded. "They want the crate."
"Tzao gao. {Crap.} Trust Jerry to be wanting illegal Alliance goods shipped..." Mantichorus hissed under his breath. "Could we divert them by kickin' Wilkins out?"

Soul shrugged. "I wouldn't mind letting the Lieutenant take a long walk in space, but I don't think that those boys out there would appreciate one of their own being treated like that. I say stall them as long as you can.
He turned to Manti. "Let's you and me find out exactly what's in that crate."

"Allright, fine" Glico walked sullenly down the stairs, and when she stood infront of the box, she cut the top off. "Damn alliance interupted me before I got to sharpen this." She peered inside,

"...Food bars. Well." Glico looked up at the two men.
"...Something of an anti-climax, if you ask me..." Mantichorus muttered.
Soul shook his head. "That amount could keep a border colony goin' for five years or more. Must be worth a small fortune."
"I expected something more from Jerry." Mantichorus said, suddenly forceful. "Check to see if there's anything hidden underneath the food bars."

Meinwhile, back on the bridge...
(OOC: There teela, get us both back into it at once :)
Ebo covered the camera with her hand and turned to Teela, "Don't think we can stall him anymore. I think he's started to get mad."
"Why are we doing this again? Why can't we just give them the crate?"
"We can," Soul said, stepping into the bridge, "We got what we need out of it."
"And that would be what?"
Soul handed a package to Teela and said, "It was at the bottom of the crate, under some protein bars."
Ebo leaned over as Teela opened the package to find...

A small piece of metal. "What's this for now?" Teela said looking at it.

"It looks to me like an EMP generator." Mantichorus said, entering the doorway.
"Emp?" Teela and Ebo echoed as one.
"Electromagnetic-pulse. E-M-P." Soul explained.
"Oh. Right." Teela responded. "...That's a type of weapon, isn't it?"
"Electricity killer." Mantichorus confirmed, nodding his head. "All the previous portable EMP generators were lethal to organic matter for a one metre - three feet four inches - radius." He then paused. "But I could be wrong." He added, off of the look on Teela and Ebo's faces as they looked at the possible EMP device.

A/N: If anyone else can think of something else for it to be, go ahead. We could be delivering it to the forerunners of the Independants. But I'm a little uneasy about the thought of delivering military tech, so if anyone else has a better idea...

Works with me.

"So, is it better that we give it to them, or that we keep this EMP and just run?" Teela asks.

Jeez, I need to review or something.
