----Initially----
Willem leaned against the wall, thinking. There was nothing else to do. He had been assigned on guard duty at the
Aurora's rear hangar bay. It wasn't a difficult task, given that he was the only soldier on duty. In fact, he had been assigned this post for the last three weeks--three weeks of uninterrupted duty at the same spot on the same ship. And so he thought, he thought on about what people think about every day, be it the latest Silver OS smartpad to come out, (His favorite brand, in fact. Pear Products' YouPad had always seemed overhyped to Willem. When it finally debuted in 3093, it was majorly lacking in features that Silver OS had already had for years.), or the hottest ships in the civilian line. Military ships--especially this one--were far too large and bulky for his taste. Civilian lines were always sleeker and in most cases faster. If he was allowed to, Willem figured that he would rather pilot a civilian craft over a cumbersome military fighter, even in combat. They were far superior in every way--
Suddenly he heard a crash followed by a second one and the closing of the bay's secondary doors. Spacing out at that moment, he saw nothing. His instincts, however, kicked in, and consequently he found himself huddled behind a crate, his Caseless TAK-X9 brought to bear over his shoulder. He reached for his hand-camera, and raised it over the edge of the crate in order to survey what had just occurred. Willem saw a vessel of blatant Centauri manufacturing laying on one of the landing pads. More interestingly, actually, was the fact that the ship had just blown through the hangar bay doors in order to enter, apparently with some kind of explosive charge or torpedo. Naturally, as the order was not yet given to launch the fighters, all Ross fighters in the launch bay--Sparrows, Nighthawks, Falcons, all of them were unmanned. In fact, Willem was the only one in the room, to his knowledge, aside from his new adversary.
He watched for a moment as a cloaked man ejected himself from the fighter's cockpit. The strange man, dressed in a thick black outfit, wore a mask on his face, which Willem himself cringed at. But Willem knew he wouldn't get past command letting a single person break in. He rose from behind the crate, intending to duck down once more in case of gunfire, and shouted,
"Halt! You've violated the law! Please uh... drop your weapon?"Willem pointed his weapon at the man.
...
Zakroff giggled a bit. One guard protecting a vulnerable point? this was disappointing. There were bound to be more, though. Especially once the guards at the observation deck noticed him.
----Afterward----
Kayle smiled to herself, thinking,
for an engineer, Jaffar is an awfully good shot. She walked over, wrenched the tachyon rifle out of the fallen guard's hands, and slung it over her shoulder.
Herros, from a distance, eyed the rifle, began walking over to Kayle in order to request it, and pondered the use of the other soldier's rail gun. Perhaps the magnets could be used to enhance the bow he made.
After Herros asked Kayle, she gave him the rifle, before turning to the eight engineers, struggling to get up thanks to a lack of HEV suit training.
"You people had better surrender too, or you'll die."One of them responded: "We can't even get up!"
Kayle shot him in the head.
"Anyone else?"Jaffar passed by and noticed the exchange of the tachyon rifle. He asked herros politely to examine it:
"Herros, I'd like to see that. I'll give it back, and I promise I won't break it."He replied:
"Eh, if you break it I'll fix it again. Knock yourself out." while handing the rifle over to Jaffar.
Jaffar left and sat down next to the body of the soldier Kayle slew with her sword. He examined the armor--finding various servos obviously intended to increase strength. The plating was moderate--but resilient to all of his tools. He looked up the enforcer line of power armor on the ship's (filtered) free wi-fi:
The Enforcer Suit is a general-use set of indoor power-armor, equipped with radiation shielding and a modest amount of all-purpose plating. Its magnetic boots and corresponding organic biochip allows walking with ease on both land and starship, and it supports up to 6 HUD augments.
Specifications:
{DATA ONLY AVAILABLE ON SECURE WIRELESS. PLEASE LOGIN WITH ID AND PASSWORD TO READ THIS}
Hmm.
[5: Level Up!] Jaffar linked his helmet to the suit, and managed to download a classified military handbook application. Sweet. The rest consisted of an API for the biochip controlling the magnetic boots. Irrelevant, so Jaffar ignored that but pondered downloading that as well. He didn't need it and his helmet only had so much space.
[3] Jaffar then used his new software to identify the Tachyon rifle and also took a closer look at the downed soldier's weapon: A Model IV Reizer SmartCannon. Fortunately, Kayle was able to down the soldier before he could fire the thing. It was a quad-barreled death machine with homing rounds--Jaffar had been fired upon multiple times by these things, in fact. Curiously however, the SmartCannon wasn't in the handbook. Neither was the Tachyon rifle, for that matter.
[4] The tachyon rifle, or as the label denoted, the TAC-9, was a weapon of starkly Centauri design. He opened up the case and examined the power core, noting two voltage restrictors set in the "on" position attached. The power conduits led primarily to the Tachyon emitter, a small glass orb with a metal base. When the trigger is pulled, the tachyon emitter apparently... emits tachyons, which are propelled by some other mechanism in the device.
[1]
Herros kept the rail gun to himself. It had no brand name. He prompted Jaffar to look up 'rail guns' in the hand book, but it appeared that all railguns in standard use were classified. The gun was encased in a metallic box, which, under further inspection, had no seam and no lock. Attempting to open the case with a hand welder failed miserably, with Herros burning his finger through the HEV suit on accident. (
-5Hp)
Meanwhile,
Milia took care of everyone's (that is, Herros') wounds.
"I still can't believe how you didn't lose an organ," she remarked while filling Herros' wound with biofoam.
"That bullet went through and through, through everything--armor, whatever..."Herros gained
30Hp this turn.
----Also----
Amatin led a quick condolence and speech, appropriating Ivan's sword and cloak. Ivan's soul hung around lazily, listening to Amatin's speech, but finally and enthusiastically departed when Amatin finished and freed him from the body.
Amatin has acquired one Silver Longsword and one Cloak of Unpredictability.
Varron returned to Herros, dropping off the parts.
----Oh, And----
Caplus decided that he would scout ahead for the group. He walked back first to reshut the bulkhead, and then skipped ahead to the other side of the room (opposite from the door that the group entered through). After climbing a double stairwell, he reached a checkpoint of sorts with a camera, a large display screen, and a soundproof reinforced large door. Looks like he'd have to hack the door... or perhaps ask for permission? He eyed the camera--it was disabled by Herros' powers. But since Herros' undocumented abilities seemed rather sentient, perhaps it would let the camera work if it sensed that Caplus knew what he was doing. He noted a large red button labelled "Press for Assistance." Tell that to the engineers back there... wait a minute... maybe Herros' powers... Oh now it made sense!
That meant there might be people on the other side looking to fix the door. He might be able to talk his way out of any problems, though.
