[Naked Crook]

Kolya had continued to move up the stairs, eventually stopping when he saw a door labeled "DECK 01" Kolya grinned, as he stepped through the door, and made a B-line right for the bridge. As Kolya stormed onto the bridge, Spender turned in his chair, and faced Kolya. Spender: Mr. Kolya...welcome back... Kolya: Director Spender...the UNSC is heading this way. Last I saw of them, they were fighting their way here. We need to leave...now! Spender: I am aware of the fact that the UNSC is coming thing way. I am not concerned with what a few Marines can do. Kolya: Be that as it may, sir, I still recommend that we relocate you to a more secure location. Spender: Not yet Kolya...not yet... Kolya: Why the delay? Why are we waiting? Spender: Like I said before...someone has to stay behind, here, to ensure that Vanguard's escape is covered. The moment we launch that Prowler, the UNSC is going to see it. We have to defend it. I plan on holding out here, just for a while longer, to give Harrison and his cronies one final fight. Kolya: Seems unnecessarily dangerous. There are others on this ship who can give that order. Me, for example. Spender: Kolya...let me be clear about one thing; I have never been afraid of a fight. I have never been afraid to get my hands dirty. The only reason I do it so rarely is because I like to portray a simple message... Spender grinned, as he began to light up a cigarette. Spender: When I join the battle...shit gets serious... Spender took a drag of his cigarette, as he turned his chair around, to face the front of the bridge. Spender: Don't worry Kolya...everything is under control. After That Prowler is away...the UNSC will NOT know what hit them.
