[Naked Crook]

Hayes had returned to the King Raven after what seemed like a an eternity on that Pelican. By the time Hayes had felt the Pelican docking in the hanger bay of The King Raven, he was very anxious to get out of this cramped ship. Hayes wasted no time in getting off the Pelican. He left the hanger bay, and walked through the corridors of The King Raven. Hayes had eventually made his way to the bridge. HAWK: Welcome back sir... Hayes: HAWK...I need you to analyze some information that was recovered. HAWK: Alright... HAWK could tell someting was bothering Hayes. HAWK: Is there anything else? Hayes: Yes...no...nothing related to the mission at hand. Hayes looked over at Temple, who was sitting in the command chair. Hayes: Commander... Temple stood up and walked over to Hayes. Hayes: Assist HAWK with decoding this information. Hayes handed Temple Phoenix's data chip. Temple: An AI? Hayes: It is Phoenix...Jacob's AI... Temple looked at Hayes and thought for a moment. Temple: Why do we have his AI? Shouldn't this be with Jacob? Hayes: Jacob won't be needing this anymore... Temple: May I ask why? Hayes: Because Jacob is dead...he was KIA getting this information...so find something we can use...and don't let anything go to waste. The AI is still intact mind you...so...don't go destroying anything just to get information. Temple sighed. Temple: Aye sir... Temple took the AI chip. Hayes: Like I said...assist HAWK... Hayes turned and left the bridge, heading to his office. Hayes sat down at his desk and sighed. He simply looked at the wall, staring at it, deep in thought. He shook his head. Hayes: Just when you think that someone is going to be around forever...they are suddenly whisked away.
