Raiding the Ship
Harper walked purposely through the crowds on Infinity until he entered the docking area of green sector and the people thinned out. Those that were walking the streets quickly got out of the way of the weapon-clad small human as he stalked the shadows.
Without the Andromeda's capabilities at hand Harper needed to take a more circumspect route in order to find out which ship was Prade's. It was quite simple for an engineer and former terrorist of Harper's renown to hack into the planets security system, and from their find the logging information.
As he unhooked his port jack and continued on his way under the stares of a few of the more curious citizens, he was going over the surveillance photos in his head. The ship itself would be simple to board, as it was nowhere near as sophisticated as Andromeda.
The problem however would be evading capture while he looked for Tyr. Since Harper still had no idea of the schematics of the Presidio he was essentially going in blind. If he was thinking more clearly, Harper might have decided it would behoove him to wait for help to arrive, since he now knew the ship they were tracking, but instead he sped his pace as his mind reminded him precisely what Prade was capable of in graphic detail.
As Harper turned the last corner and came face to face with the Presidio he tightened his grip on both of his weapons and fired two consecutive shots, taking out the guard still standing on deck. They fell to the ground silently, and Harper quickly and efficiently grabbed them, dragging them to a spot well hidden.
He relieved the two Nietzscheans of their weapons and one set of armor, which he donned with economic movements. He walked around the side finding a small servants entrance in the shadows of the docking bay. As he entered he kept his force lance aimed cautiously, but relaxed slightly as he entered what seemed to be a kitchen connected to a small mess hall, which was empty of men.
Harper exited the mess to find himself in an empty corridor, but before he could take more then a few steps he felt the ship shift underneath his feet as it prepared for take off. Following the sound of the engine and the movement of the ship around him, Harper turned around and walked toward where he thought engineering was.
He was so in tuned to the ship and looking for interface jacks that he didn't realize the danger he had walked in until he was grabbed from behind. Fortunately for him his force lance was in such a position that he could use it similar of a javelin as he extended it straight through his attacker's back. The second Nietzschean sounded an alarm while he was otherwise occupied barreling into Harper just as he extracted his weapon from the dead body beneath him.
"Intruder Alert! Intruder Alert!"
"This is just what I need." Harper cursed as the large Nietzschean grappled him to the floor, landing heavily on top of Harper's squirming body.
"Surrender, kludge and I will endeavor to kill you slowly." He sneered menacingly grabbing both of Harper's arms and pinning him to the floor.
"I don't think so." Harper answered heatedly before smashing his head into the nose of the man holding him hostage. He smirked as he heard the bone and cartilage break and from there he kneed the guard in the crotch when he loosened his grip on the human's arms slightly. "Not so tough now are you?"
