As far as hacking the Tondam info, breaking the encryption, Alessia has an AI character (and so do I, aboard the Steel Avenger) that can break the Tondam encryption. That's not an issue.
What I've been trying to tell you is One, it's too dangerous to fly outside the shields of the Tondam Facility, as between the pseudo-Imperial attack (which was staged from the bridge of the Steel Avenger to cover the entry of the away team) and the sudden assault of the unidentified ship, any craft leaving the station would be almost immediately destroyed, if not by Tondam, then by the new attacker; Two, leaving the station would blow the Steel Avenger's cover, as it's hiding cloaked beneath the station, and beaming the SKIP from outside the station would tip off Tondam and the new attacker that someone else is here; Three, the only thing preventing the Steel Avenger from beaming out the away team is the shields. This is something I gleaned watching Star Trek - when the shields of a ship or station are up, it scatters a transporter beam. Therefore, disrupting a shields generator would disrupt the shields long enough to get everyone and everything aboard the Steel Avenger without tipping off anyone to the presence of a cloaked ship. And yes, I have considered the possible detection of the transport, and the fact the Steel Avenger is cloaked - it's transporter and cloaking technology is based on the type that had been deployed on the Reman Warbird Scimitar.
The Tondam Facility isn't as hardened as you might think, Vosur, as it was in a remote location, and the facility administrators did not think such hardening was necessary. And being a Tondam corporate facility, while it has much in the way of computer protection, it does not have as advanced military defenses, as Tondam, while a shady corporation in GS and my RPs, is a corporation with origins in the Trader Emergency Coalition, a faction from Sins of a Solar Empire, and as such, Tondam primarily uses their tech.
I am not trying to upset you, Vosur - merely trying to explain the nature of this clandestine infiltration that is already going awry (as I would say, in a military operation, nothing ever goes according to plan) and how they would get off-station without drastically changing the operation. I really want to get through this part with the Tondam Facility and move into the next phase of the story, which I fear is rapidly getting obscured.
