Shelton had completed his tour of the battleship, and other than the non-combat androids which kept the ship running, the combat drones had collapsed. He'll have to work on fixing that, if a fix was even possible.
His phone buzzed. He glanced at it, and saw he'd recieved a text from an unlisted number. He glanced at the screen, and almost dropped the phone.
I sent your message before I died. So I'm still dead. Don't change the active duty roster for my sake.
Who is this? he almost wrote back, but deleted it before sending it. ROSS? Is that you? he typed but then deleted it. After a few minutes of debating, he finally sent off a simple Good luck. He never recieved a reply.
As he walked back to the others, he suddenly realized the most important part of the text. "Oh crap, he sent Dragonstorm that video?"

(Oil Rig)
Suddenly the computer in Kerzach's room, along with every computer in the oil rig, turned on and started playing a video. It showed James Zanasiu and Sharon, both armed. Between them was a man in a decent suit with a bag over his head.
"Dragonstorm personnel," James spoke directly to the camera. "I speak for the team that has been systematically destroying every Dragonstorm base in the country. We've destroyed almost every base in existence, and we will not stop until we're done."
Sharon took over. "We understand that most of you are assistants or guards, forced into service by the scientists who you work for. You have little stake in Dragonstorm, and this video is warning you to flee. If you abandon now, we will not come after you."
"This offer does not extend to those responsible for what Dragonstorm has become," James added. "The leaders who have most of the blood on their hands. This includes Johnson Zenarchis, Keegan O'Neil, Trinity, and Roger Simpson."
James pulled off the bag to reveal Shelton's face. He then shot Shelton in the chest, who fell off-screen.
"At this time, Simpson had been fourth-in-line for command, behind those already mentioned," James concluded. "If I didn't say your name, abandon what's left of this immoral project. If I did, know that you'll pay for your crimes. Soon."
James then walked up to the camera and turned it off. All computers then resumed normal operation.
------------------------
Shelton reached the room where everyone else is. "Umm, James can I talk to you for a minute?" Shelton asked, preparing to lead James out of the room and into the lower decks.
(OOC: I'd gotten permission from Serris to do this a really long time ago, mainly to avoid the 'infiltration' bit and jump right into things, since they'll have to be more straightforward than usual. Serris, if you would prefer James' dialogue be changed in any way send me replacements and I'll edit the post.
Shelton is about to show James a submarine stored on board, and suggest that the teams assault from two angles.)
