Kyras repeatedly smashed his face against the nearest wall. "Are you fucking serious!?" he screamed at the ceiling. Every. Single. Time. He growled in frustration. He couldn't leave her alone for like ten seconds or this shit happened. He was so having a talk with her about personal safety after this. And seriously, where did they hire this crew from? A prison? A gang? The mafia? HE was better behaved then these fools. He sighed and sent a Wraith towards the location the scarab was emitting from. At least could test his Wraiths out. That was the one upside of this event. He turned back to his design board as the horrific construct slithered throught the wall and towards Yalei. Maybe he should make a flyer or something. He had four things in mind, but five is a good number too...
There was a bit of a lag time before Freya almost seemed to stumble and became extremely red faced her normal demeanor was almost completely destroyed as she looked at Killian with a glance of shock, embarrassment, and shyness. {Let's see, she's under the impression that if her stupid father recognized you like that that somehow you either survived his gauntlet of dealthly challenges, mother liked you better then him, or your father got father drunk and that's how you two ended up becoming engaged. Wait?! YOU'RE ENGAGED!}
< @Xanxas > The wraiths sped to Yalei's position, and when the misfits appeared, they immediately released her, looking on in shock. "And he doesn't like you threatening me. Thanks, Kyras. I can take it from here." And she did. Her bionic arm opened into a small cannon and she fired a beam the same blue as her Technomancy aura at the wall behind the Brute. "You will not mess with me or Kyras again. UNDERSTOOD!?" And they all ran out of the room. "Thanks again... you like my second surprise?" She said, walking up to a wraith. < @Andraina > {... I hope that means she doesn't hate me. At least she remembers.} "Lesson's over men! Keep practicing!" Killian put his sword away and extended a hand to Freya. "Would you like to talk about it over dinner?" < @WanderingJester > The system was shut down, but the presence was still there. It seemed to look at Veronica, daring her to try and stop it. It was going to destroy anything Kelley could care about, ostracize him... and devour his soul. She could feel it.
-Loren Kelley & Veronica- Veronica watched as the black aura taunted her, and continued killing her sister. Even as the FRAME behind her shut down she screamed and charged at the aura, somehow turning herself into the same orange aura around Morain. The orange aura turned into a precise pointed edge, stabbing into the blackness at a speed only Veronica could managed. If her sister dies, Veronica's going rip this thing apart, code by code.
The wraith made an odd chirping sound, like a cross between a snake's hiss and a birds cry. It cocked its head to the side, and Kyras's heavily distorted voice came out. "You actually got a laser arm! That's great! Now you can pew pew ALL the people! Anyways, once you get your SCARAB up and running you can contact me whenever, so if you could get on that it would alleviate a lot of my worries! Anyways, Ill just fix up this little guy here." The wraith grabbed the scarab with the malfunctioning visuals "have a nice day!" and with that the wraith turned and headed back to its master.
Agalia chuckled, "Sir it's not quite that simple. She just knows how her parents are. As you can see..." She said as she appeared pointing at the girl who looked to be in a shocked and near catatonic state when her weapon was told to drop. She still kept firm hold of course but she seemed even more red then before. "5... 4..." Agalia chirped before Freya promptly about faced and made a beeline far, far away. "As you can see, she still has no idea what's going on." The little one was giggling away but at least knew it was rude so she apologized "I'm sorry sir, but it's really really cute!"
< @WanderingJester > The Blackness screeched. This SOUL... was a difficult opponent. But not impossible. Veronica gets pushed back. again. and again. and again. All the while the medics work, oblivious to the chaos happening in their patient's mind. Thankfully, Veronica seemed to be distracting the Black, as Morain's Vitals stop falling as the last of her wounds are sealed. "That's all we can do, Sir! We'll be heading out now. Called the medics. As they leave, Veronica takes her humanoid form, as does the Presence. It takes the form of Death, the grim reaper. Veronica begins to charge again... and gets speared through the chest by a tendril of black. Blood was forced out in a cough... Holograms aren't supposed to get hurt, but... it hurt. Bad < @Xanxas > The wraith returned quickly enough. [Go ahead and take a time skip if you want, get some stuff done and then go somewhere or do something.] < @Andraina > {Does... she still not remember?} He sighed. {Agalia... Thank you. Would you please send her my regards? I don't know if I can get any farther at this point. Take it slow.} He walked out of the training room, looking a bit dejected, but holding himself tall.
"That's all we can do, Sir! We'll be heading out now." The fools left too early, before the actual disease had been eliminated. The Reaper now, with its tendril through Veronica, stood victorious. Veronica coughed, as holographic blood came out of her mouth. Was... was this pain? She looked at the Reaper, and it grinned as it stared back at the helpless SOUL. She'll show it how helpless she really was. Veronica waved a hand at the unconscious Morain, activating the hardlight projectors on her clothing. The projectors, so meticulously protected and avoided by Kelley, activated around the Grim Reaper, forcing it into a physical form. The spectre found the annoyance distracting and it pushed the tendril deeper into Veronica, causing her to cry aloud. It smiled as it readied another one to finish the SOUL off, forming a spear right next to her head. A shot rang out, and a bullet quickly wiped the smile off its face. The Grim Reaper grimaced, unable to process what had just happened, as it collapsed to the floor clutching its chest. Kelley stood over it, his side arm still smoking. "Huh Henry was right, so guns are good for something." The reaper spat back at the rider, finally speaking. Its voice was distorted, but that just made it worse than Enzo's SOUL. "You... you will be mine... rider." Kelley lifted his sidearm and pointed it at its head. "Ever read literature fiend? 'That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die.'" He fired the weapon. It shatters the projections skull, then the rest of the body followed, before leaving a black imprint on the ground. Kelley hurried to Veronica, who just waved him off. "It's... it's ok Mr. Kelley. I'm running a repair program now. It's just damaged files." She winced, though the hole in her chest was slowly closing. "Will you... will you please get sis to the infirmary?" Kelley nodded, concerned about his SOUL but seeing her getting better, scooped up Morain in his arms. Together the two walked out of holding bay 03 towards the infirmary.
(Skip ahead to completion of the first spyder and two acanthrites) Kyras stepped back and admired his work. While he had been working, a bunch of attack scarabs had been made and disperesed around the ship to important places like the medbay and hanger. Kyras, having nothing better to do, looked to see what was going on.
EPISODE VII: THE LIGHT THAT PIERCES DARKESS < @Xanxas @Andraina @WanderingJester @Shadhunter > Two weeks have passed... The ship is repaired an a full inquiry was put to the crew. A large amount of traitors had been snuck aboard by higher-ups of the UTC that had since defected to the Splinter. They were all executed. "Men? This is Captain Onyx." He was speaking over comms to every member as they were docked at Y'coren. "We will be shipping out for Lutia, a planet of the Splinter. The UTC has been pushed back on so many fronts, most forces are holding back to defend UTC space. But we are taking the offensive." "This will be very dangerous, going in alone. Therefore, I give each of you the ability to leave of your own accord, with no consequences. Leave within the hour, after that, if you are aboard you are coming with us. That is all." [Right then, if you are staying (I hope you all do) then emote your response. If not, emote leaving. Once this part is done we will move to the true briefing.]
