Too much, too soon.

Russel, there has been a security breach.

Despite all the action on the Bridge, Malware's voice shocks Kelby to his core.

"A security breach? Where?

[_malware_]

The brig. It seems there was a successful attempt to free Archer.

[r_kelby]

Oh, fucksticks!

Kelby sits up straighter in his command chair as the implications of Malware's message trickle down past his adrenaline.

"He got out? Who did that?"

Wait...

"Malware, where are they now?"

[_malware_]

Secorro and Foster are responsible. As of now, they are in the corridor outside the brig making their way towards the lift.

[r_kelby]

The lift stops at the correct deck and Russel checks to see if the coast is clear before getting out. It's just a few meters to his door... but he's got to turn a corner to get there.

He walks up to the corner and flattens his body against the wall. Listening for a second, he can hear someone working just in front of his door. He slowly turns the corner to look...

Oh what the hell! It's just Dillard.

Dammit, I got all worked up.

[crewman_dillard]

Dillard is working on some damaged circuits in the bulkhead.

He hears someone near him and looks up just as the ship rocks with a blast of Xindi phaser fire. Steadying himself with a hand on the bulkhead, he calls out.

"Kelby! What are you doing here? What's going on?"

[r_kelby]

Kelby looks at Dillard, and debates over whether or not to tell him the truth about his escape, and maybe offer him a place on the shuttlepod with him and Malware.

Wait... he's in with Secorro now, and she can't be trusted... I'll make up something and be on my way.

"Outta the way, Dillard. I got some serious captainly business to take care of and I need some stuff from my cabin."

[crewman_dillard]

Colin steps aside as Kelby keys in the lock to open his cabin and watches as Russel darts around in his room, gathering clothes and PADDs and putting them in a gym bag.

"Kelby... Russel, what are you doing?"
