[size=small]-Three LSF Bombers while on a secret bombing run near Bering....
Commanding Officer: 30 seconds until we're in the lions den Agents, keep your eye's open.
Agent : Sir I see our target nothing on radar weapons going hot. Garmen get beside me we will hit them all at once.
Garmen: Yes sir.
-Garmen's and Reaper's bombers run parallel to each other-
Commanding Officer :This is all too quiet, still 14 seconds until we are in range when you have a shot light up the target
Agent: Roger
Garmen: Roger
Agent: Ready....ready..
Garmen: I have firing solution, I am making my shot the spirit of Liberty is underway
Agent: I'm firing!
- both torpedo's hit the base the blistering heat from the explosion melts away any remanding debris--
Commanding Officer: Good hit ..**** Contacts Garmen take care of them.
-Zigeris freezes, as a sudden rush of images flow through his head one remands. He a young boy sitting at his Dad's launching pad crying, his dad picks him up and tells him all is well he has to fight for Liberty's future. When Zigeris's Father sees that he wasn't content with the message he hands Zigeris his service badge. The vision is lost-
Agent: AGENT GARMEN PULL YOUR ASS UP!
-Coming too Zigeris is on a collision course with a RM battle cruiser the ships monstrous appearance scares Zigeris and he pulls back on the the controls just missing the bridge. While dodging fire Zigeris turns his ship around.-
Commanding Officer: No we are not equip launch the flares and lets pull out we did our job
Agent:Yes sir,
Garmen: Yes sir.
Garmen launches a blind flare that when denoted the beam blinds who ever looks in its direction for a short time, letting them escape--
-Back to the Headquarters of LSF operations-
Director: Garmen I have a revoked your flying rights until further notice, you are to report to the Psyche ward to get checked out
Garmen: Excuse me sir?
Director: Excuse me what? Don't make this difficult on yourself you have a week to clear this up I put my life on the line for you and more importantly I put my reputation on the line for you if you can't pull yourself together then you are out of the LSF.
Garmen: Sorry Sir, Yes sir Permission to speak freely?
Director:Yes you can speak freely to a shrink what else is there to talk about I understand you are still getting over what happened But for gods sake I need to know right now if you are able to fight again. Zigeris as a Friend when the LNS Ohio said you were dead I called everyone in to find the bastard that shot you down. But finding out that Cryer medical saved you I thought to myself You can only be lucky for soo long. that's why I think you shouldn't fly.
Garmen: As a friend you think I shouldn't fly?
Director:Yes
Garmen: Well as a friend you should know me and my skills out there in space are important to the security of Liberty
Director: When we were flying today you were not my friend out there you were a liability you are excused and please heed my word.
Garmen: Sir...
-Garmen leaves the office-
-Later that night as Garmen dreams he is awaken to a cold sweat the breeze from the air conditioning makes him have goosebumps on the skin of his forearms He walks to the kitchen where a drink of water slows his breath rate. Thinking to himself-
"Just one more day after the other I can forget and put this behind me. What happened yesterday was a fluke a random moment where I have remembered something of my past before I joined the LSF. My fathers badge was lost in the accident I never did recover it. It is the only thing I had left of my father and his teaching of honor and service to Liberty. Hell I never even got a chance to prove to my dad how all his words are forever built into my service as a LSF agent. I wish he could see me fly my ship and see what work I do to protect Liberty. But never the less he is not here, and I'm about to lose my position, damn psycho doctors. I need a drink"
-Zigeris Gets ready to leave for the bar just a few blocks away from his condo, he decides not to take his service pistol with him, typically he never leaves the door of his condo with out it, but a feeling of "if i'm going to die, then so be it" overwhelms his logic. While he sits at the bar he cannot show the worried look on his face, some of the regular girls take notice and tried to cheer him up but there was nothing to break his mood.-
Zigeris: Ladies, its nice but I just not in the mood to really talk about much less you don't have the security clearance for me too
June: Hehehe well I'm sure you say that alot how about I try to susduce you to give us clearence.
Zigeris: That would be completely unrealistic the system is in place to protect...
Kimi: Damnit Ziggy! for once relaxed and forget about your damn job. You are allowed to have a life, call me when you think you can handle that...
Zigeris: Heh, yeah you know I won't call
Kimi: Oh yeah thats right cause the only time you would ever call is for those painkillers?
Zigeris: nah that was a long time ago
Kimi: still I'm worried about you, whats wrong?
Zigeris: I can't say
Kimi: Prick just tell me I'm not a threat to security blah blah blah
Zigeris: I might lose my job
Kimi: GREAT!!! that mean we could actually hook up!
Zigeris: Yeah don't sound so happy, working for the LSF is the only thing keeping me close to my father okey if I lose the LSF then anything left of my
Father will be gone. I just feel like if I lose my job then I will have no one to take care of me you know...
Kimi: Aww well don't you have pictures of your father? or something? Yea losin your job is bad but come on there is more to life then fighting a never ending war.
Zigeris: I had his old service badge it doesnt really matter I'll talk with you two later
Kimi: Yeah right, don't go just come with us to my place...
-Zigeris knowing the benefits of physical connections often relieves tension, he does spend the night at Kimi's house.-
*beeping sound*
-Kimi barely awake-
Kimi: what is that?
Garmen: eh...*looks over at his NavCommsportible* **** its my commanding officer you girls stay quiet
*Garmen answers*
Director:Garmen!!! are you okey we stopped by your place and you werent their? WHERE ARE YOU?
Garmen: Sorry sir, Good morning sir I am at....church sir and the service is about to start what is it that you need?
Director:Garmen? In church? I'll pay you 22million credits to see you even step 200yards from a church, but you are to go to your meeting I have setup with your psychologist...
Kimi: psychologist?
Garmen: Shhh
Director:Whos? that?
Garmen: No one sir and yes I will be there
June: Well mister garmen law man you don't need a pycho doctor for what fun we had.....
Director:YES Garmen Law Man, it seems the horney nuns set you straight, church heh my ass...*call ends*
Garmen: You couldn't have said that any louder? eh? Damnit now i'm going to get into more trouble...
Kimi: oh relax you shoud know by now that were bad news for you *kisses Garmen*
Garmen: yeah yeah I gotta fly if i'm going to get to this psycho talk thing
Kimi: Whatever...see ya in another random month or so...
-Garmen Leaves and catches a taxi to the LSF headquarters-
Dr.JB Smith: Ah Garmen have a seat, I just went over your file and your service records and I first want to tell you that to first step is always seeking help. And that you are not alone in this many agents have had issues that they over come in time.
Garmen: First of all I don't have a problem, yes I know alot of agents have issues and time is short I best be going on my patrols
Dr.JB Smith: I'm not stupid, I have been in the LSF for 34 years I have seen it all,
Garmen: Great then lets celebrate by avoiding this "session" and you and the misses can have a nice day together
Dr.JB Smith: Cut the crap I still have rank on you, But thanks for the suggestion I would be more then happy spending time with my deceased wife. Now if you're not going to play the game right then you will have to sit there and fester this unconscious feelings and I know your job rides on our little discussion, soa lets begin what happened two days ago you were on a mission...and...
Garmen: I was assigned to conduct a routine covert bombing run on a base suspected to be making munitions for the RM we had 3 units dispatched. We were in what was called the lions den, where the target is within range to pick us up on scanners and call for help. I was in lined on my mark the whole time, fired my weapons and left as ordered.
Dr.JB Smith: In the report it said you had an absence of responsiveness interval of 13 seconds, what was going through your mind?
Garmen: really to tell ya I dont know, I had flashbacks of when I was a kid. My father Served Liberty and he had given me his badge. Something I never left anywhere without.
Dr.JB Smith: So this was something of memory this bagde is a symbol of your father that you never got a chance to get to know?
Garmen: meh more or less yeah thats why I kept it, I felt if i had it I would be able to say he was with me the whole time. But now he is lost for good.
Dr.JB Smith: You lost your father's badge?
Garmen: Yes,
Dr.JB Smith: how?
Garmen: well its a long story but to make it short, I died once to see his face then came back to finish my job that fate has set out to for me to do and in return fate took my ticket to see my father again.
Dr.JB Smith: That is very interesting, we could explore that train of thought more on different time, more importantly I can tell you you are objective I just want to know if you had these sort of flash backs before, where they disrupted your abilities?
Garmen: No it was the first time,
Dr.JB Smith: Okey well I have to talk with other Agents, Garmen try to remember that the past was a moment in time labeled the present, we all had the choices at the time that change our future. We are always looking to move on.
Garmen: Thank you Sir, I'll will report in on the same time slot.
Dr.JB Smith: Welcome, be safe.
-Garmen Returns Home, finding his condo completely torn apart-
"you think they could have respect and not trash the place?"
Zigeris picking up and rearranging his condo. Being strangely compulsive about detail to making sure everything would be placed back together, he ignores anything that didn't belong. There was broken glass in the threshold of the bathroom door. To him that didn't make sense he approaches. And like a cold sensation running down his spine he becomes overwhelmed with a sickness feeling. Zigeris becomes scared and quickly closes the bathroom door. Unable to define this unnatural feeling he quickly gets his clothes and personal effects and packs them away. He calls Kimi,-
Zigeris: Hey, Kimi?
Kimi: Yeah? Zigeris? This is not normal heh hun you don't usually ever call me back.
Zigeris: Yeah you think I could stay at your place for a little while?
Kimi: What!?
Zigeris: I'm sorry, I don't mean to impose I just need a place to escape from whatever is making me upset...you know
Kimi: Of course yea you can come in tonight i'll be here all day I was redecorating.
Zigeris: Okey
Kimi: And was thinking about taking....
- Click-
Zigeris hangs up the phone, and grabs his bags and shuts off his lights and looks at the shrouded room, a chilling feeling overwhelms him once more. Seeing images of pain and terror like flash backs. He closes the door. To himself.-
"This life is behind me,"
Kimi Sintou a bar tender at the "Liberty Dispenser," to most she seems like just a young girl of 21 living life up and parting all the time. To Zigeris this lifestyle is wasteful but there is a undertone feelings for her. He cannot explain the notion of what his heart is telling him. Zigeris feels a different side of Kimi that she may even over look herself. But as Zigeris line of thinking he does not ever show or speak of feelings regarding her.
Upon the route to Kimi's apartment Zigeris takes the time to visit an ex navy pilot and friend in regards to the man who found his fathers badge awhile ago before the accident. The mystery that was presented that the original badge was worn around Zigeris's neck. The copy that was handed to him was not his fathers ID number, but another pilots with the same name as his father. Or it would seem. While in the discussion with this Navy pilot not only was there no record of his father in the Navy arms, but the ID number was not real. This leads Zigeris to believe that someone wanted him to have it, for some sort of advantage. The day of accident while in the LNS Ohio before being pronounced dead, the medical team removed all items attached to Zigeris's body. When Cryer head doctor seen that he could be saved, they took Zigeris to the head Cryer Center in New York. And was able to save him with great success. Zigeris after coming too after being in a comma for 5 months Zigeris requested the personal gear. When it was returned, only the fake badge was left. His father's badge was never found. This trouble Zigeris, but not as much as learning that Internal affairs found that the Defenders escape pod was ridged to fail. Thus declaring a assassination attempt. With this knowledge and the mystery surrounding the man with fake badge Zigeris was determined to find out who tried to kill him. Internal affairs suggested it was a inside job, but who? Pondered through his mind.
With this stress his chest hurts, the lack of sleep and abnormal eating pattern he continues on to take refugee in Kimi's apartment. Looking around he finds the redecorating to be lacking. Too much orange and not enough subtle changes in color. Zigeris smirks and shakes his head. Hearing Kimi singing in the background she has yet to see that Zigeris has arrived he walks to the room she is at. And sitting their is this beautiful petite redhead dancing around as she paints the walls, Zigeris can't resist. He quickly moves up close and hugs her from behind,-
Zigeris- Hi,
Kimi- OH hi I didn't hear you come in?
*Zigeris spins her around*
Zigeris- Yeah I know, I"m a LSF agent i'm trained to be sneaky like that,
Kimi- Oh hehe is this something the LSF would frown upon if you would share your secrets with a security threat like me?
Zigeris- Yeah this would be quite a breach in national security
*Kimi holds Zigeris*
Kimi- You seem to be in a good mood
Zigeris- heh, yeah thats a myth, i just took a walk if feel good.
*lookin up at Zigeris*
Kimi- A myth? I can see it in your eyes *smiles* wait YOU are happy to see me!!
*Zigeris looks away*
Zigeris: Nope just trying to get myself out of thinking about my past by changing my environment.
*Kimi directs Zigeris head to her face*
Kimi- And yet you choose it to be here with me, it there must be a reason.
Zigeris: Ah its where I know i can get laid anytime, that's it *Kimi steps back with a disapproval look*
Kimi: yea, no just make yourself at home i'm going to the store, will I see you later?
Zigeris: No, I'm going to be out.
Kimi: Okey,
Zigeris dearly noting that comment wasn't true but it was best he didn't get attached to her, he was not exactly knowing where he was going to go from here. Kimi leaves and Zigeris sets his stuff on the futon. Looking around he decides to call into the LSF to see if there was any work to be done.
Garmen: Yes, I am Senior Agent Garmen requesting to talk with any of the Directors.
Operator: Garmen,
Garmen: Yes? My Id is
Operator: I know who you are its been 2 days you still have 5 days off don't call back until then.
Garmen: Um no let me talk to the directors,
Operator: Their busy
-Click-
Zigeris to himself,
"That boooooooooch.....Damn she better suck up to me when i get back on active duty or a i will fire her ass, fine if they want me to take a week off so be it."
Zigeris now feeling a duty to get drunk decides to hit the bars, and dance clubs. While on his journey of bar hopping he picks up a few ladies to party with him. LPI attempts to arrest him for a minor disturbance call.....
LPI: Officer, sir we had a complaint that you punched this guy *points* just a moment ago
Zigeris: Well, well see that man there that thing was trying to hit on my ladies I I didn't like that so I talked to him and told him straight up and he just got in my face see I was nice about it until he made me get unnice about it....
LPI: So you punched him?
Zigeris: Come here...* he walks closer to the LPI officer*
Zigeris: I did the same thing, I...I.. am ...I'm going to do to you
LPI: Uh?
*Zigers punches the LPI officer the other officers gets Zigeris off and cuffs him and takes him down to the LPI processing center*
While being liquored up Zigeris realizes this is where his father had worked and quickly becomes sadden about the events that just has transpired and he attempts to show his apologizes but non of the LPI officers would take him seriously. Until they received a call, it was quick the officers rolled their eyes and let Zigeris go-
LPI officer: Just try to pull yourself to together kid
Zigeris: I wer where what your not putting me in jail?
LPI officer: What you don't know about your friends in high places? Get out of here and no more punching people.
Zigeris stumbles out of the processing center confused he wanders about in the city. Bumping into people Zigeris is followed by a curious group. Zigeris finds Kimi's bar, the men follow him in. While looking around for her he sits down at the booths and lays his head on the table. The men sit down.
Man- ZIGGEH!!!
*Zigeris quickly sits up
Zigeris: Sir Yeh Sire! oh the hell who are you?
Man- Heh, I'm not important at the moment but thought I should share some advice, see you didn't get the point the first time now my boss will have to finish the job another way. Zigeris do you know the God Of Fear? He is, essentially the driving force in Liberty, he sits there feeding on all those who scheme to maintain order. You are a schemer to keep what you believe is order to run soundly, but you are different the God of Fear sees you as a personal threat. So buddy boy you should watch yourself. Or you will be dead and the future will remain under the shroud of darkness.
Zigeris; The hell you talkin about sir and get me a drink....
Man- Well said, Garmen...I'll leave to to drink in your stupor.
The man leaves Zigeris passes out, Later being found by Kimi she takes him home, and lays him on the futon. She heads to sleep. The next day Zigeris is set to visit Dr. JB Smith. while his head still hurting from the next before he prepares and leaves without waking Kimi. At the Office of JB Smith-
Smith: Good morning Zigeris, how are you?
Garmen: Eh Could be better, i think i drank too much...
Smith: Yes you look awful no offense of course, and this drinking was inspire by being denied to work?
Garmen: Geez why do you shrinks get this information?
Smith: And Kimi, talk to me about her. When you took this job you agreed your Liberties were subjected to the LSF
Garmen: Hmm, yeah.. Kimi just a girl.
Smith: That you seemed to be close to, I have a interest in this because you don't seem to be open her but I want you to be open to someone, you need to get you feelings out. Keeping them will only hurt you in the end, and others around you that you have no idea. I am confident that the correlation between you almost dying is with something that you feel you have unanswered questions? Am I right?
Garmen: I have questions that need to be answered yes, if I'm somehow self imploding because of the fear I may never know the answers then what could I do?
Smith: You are a intelligent man, you must find the answers. The question is and its for you and me to decide is if you can maintain working in the LSF while looking for the answers.
Garmen: I love the LSF, I love Liberty I can't sit by and watch on the sidelines. *tries not to cry* my father gave his life for Liberty, in a sense I must complete his journey. I will not abandon LSF and him. I can't I won't.
Smith: Agent Garmen, think about it this way, what do you think will happen when your questions are answered? Lets say its like a huge weight lifted off from you chest. And you are stronger then ever before! Wouldn't you say that the LSF needs the Garmen devotion or Garmen's strength? LSF will always need you, I'm just thinking that Liberty needs you to rest and take care of things.
Garmen: I don't want to leave, I can do desk work.
Smith: I think it would be better that you have a long vocation and you can return when its over. I do believe that would be the smartest thing that we can do for you. Look if you can go on for a few more months how much worse off will you be? Lets get this from the gate so we don't have complications later on. Zigeris please understand this doesn't effect anything you have done in the past. Okey?
Garmen: *lets out a sigh* Yeah. *starts to cry* I'm just scared I won't make it back.
Zigeris gets up shakes Dr.JB Simth's hand and walk out to the lobby while looking around he notices a man standing by the desk *FlashBack of the night before, "God Of Fear"* Zigeris confused walks up to the man but doesn't get close enough to get him to notice he sees a paper with his name on it, it was a order form for office supplies. Though he can see the writing he couldn't quite make it out. So he waits until the leaves. And abruptly walks up to the desk and talks to the clerk
Garmen: Ma'am I need that paper!
Operator: Hi Garmen so nice to see you've made a house call...
Garmen: Aww you're joking right? Give me that paper!
Operator: Just for the humor of you not needed a security clearance to view a order sheet for file cabinets but i'll entertain the thought of giving you a hard time.
Garmen: Give it here.
She hands him the paper, it reads "Brille Business Supplies," reads further "Rep. Carol Brille" this not making any sense at all to him he gives the paper back and warns to check out the cabinets for anything dangerous. Finding nothing Zigeris was politely asked to leave for the day. Zigeris calls a taxi to go home to Kimi's house. On the way a vehicle pulls up behind the taxi. Zigeris looks up, suddenly a loud explosion in the back of the taxi throws Zigeris into the front seat. Zigeris gets out his pistol but looks at the driver, he's dead. Now the taxi's is falling to the ground, Zigeris attempts to get control of the Taxi but the driver's body was in the way
Zigeris: **** sorry buddy but you gotta go....
Zigeris pushes his body out of the taxi and grabs the controls all systems were wiped out but he can only slow it from crashing not prevent it, he puts the seatbeat on. And holds on tight moving the taxi to side off from a building he slams into the ground hitting his head. The taxi look like to roll up on its self, and twisted pieces of debris fills the sky and below on the ground. Zigeris barely moving he attempts to free himself. Shooting the front window out he crawls out as people gather. He looks around trying to see that other ship. Hearing serens in the background, he wanders off. Into the alley way. He quickly turns around, and is hit falls to the ground.
Man: Hi Ziggeh we meet again,
Zigeris: Who the **** are you *grabs his shirt and tosses him to the ground*
Man: ehh I told you to watch out heh heh * Gets up and runs towards Zigeris, and is triped and placed in a strangled hold*
Zigeris: Damnit tell me or I will kill you!
Man: (struggling to breathe) I work for the God of Fear
Zigeris: WHO IS THAT TELL ME OR YOU DIE!!! *a gun shot echo in the buildings, the man goes limp*
Zigeris: Hey! Hey! Damnit *It begins to rain, he looks up at the buildings*
Zigeris runs, he gets out of the area and catchs the bus, its a harder target to bring down he figures. Seeing that he wasn't followed he decides not to take any chances, he looks around before getting back to Kimi's place. Seeing that it is cleared he walks up to the door, and leans in he hears music. He places his hand on the handle. It won't open. He calls on the PA system.
Zigeris: Hey Kimi the doors locked.
Kimi: Awww, i guess Ziggy isn't gettng laid tonight...
Zigeris: Oh geez come on let me in
Kimi: I don't know if my virginity is safe oh um...
Zigeris: Ehhh are you serious? I destroyed that dream years ago...
Kimi: True...so i'm old news now?
Zigeris: Kimi if you don't open this door i'm going...*Door opens*
Kimi: to do what? OH MY GOD ZIGERIS WHAT HAPPENED!
Zigeris: God stop yelling...I got into a a fight.
Kimi: that must have been one hell of a fight here sit down. Tell me what happened should I call the police?
Zigeris: No, its fine *sighs* damn today has not been my day
Kimi: Why? whats wrong what happened? And it seems you didn't get my message...
Zigeris: Message? **** my phone its in the taxi.
Kimi: So you didn't get the flowers for the sun room?
Zigeris: I have to go *Kimi pushes him down*
Kimi: YOU ARE NOT going anywhere. Here use mine and do what you need to do from there.
Zigeris takes her phone and calls the tech specialist in the LSF and asked him to located and destroy his Navphone this can be done remotely in case of a threat to security. The NavPhone was located still in the crash site, and was terminated. This relieves Zigeris from most of the stress.
Zigeris takes cloths out and walks to the bathroom he tells Kimi that he will out in a moment. Zigeris closes the door. With his injuries its hard to get his shirt off but manages. He steps into the shower and turns it on. First cold water then warm water drains down his face. Becoming overwhelm with events Zigeris leans back and rest on the shower's wall. Kimi enters the bathroom-
Kimi- Too shy to let me join you?
She walks into the shower facing Zigeris she sees for the first time the pain he must deal with while she examines his body scars cover his chest she moves her hands gently across them. She looks into Zigeris's eyes-
Kimi- How can you live like this? Why do you do this?
Zigeris- Its all I have to give this world
He looks down and to the left, watching her hands run across his body. Kimi finally takes her arms around Zigeris holding tightly. Kissing his neck-
Zigeris- Kimi why are you here,
Kimi- Cause I need you, why are you here?
Zigeris: I..
Kimi looks back into his eyes,
Zigeris: I am here because its not safe for me to be home, someone wants me dead.
Kimi: Is that all your reasons?
Zigeris: Yes,
Kimi: Okey....well not okey just I was hoping
Zigeris; Hoping what?
Kimi: Nothing I'll let you back to your shower...
Kimi leaves the shower..
Zigeris: Kimi wait...
She was already gone out of hearing range, Zigeris punches the shower wall, thinking to himself
-Damnit why can't I tell her? God please in all this insanity can't I find the courage to say those words? Hell I have people trying to kill me, I've been in thousands of battles seen nearly all of Sirius but I can't tell her how I feel? ****, doesn't matter anyway I can sense something bad is going to happen, I must get out of Liberty as soon as possible. If i stay I will die. Though I can't leave Kimi but I don't know where i'm going. I need to find who that guy was, and that company he worked for......
Zigeris gets out of the shower and dries off, while looking at his scars we can recount each one, some he believed could have been avoided others was fate writing a story on his body as he would often think to himself. He gets dressed and steps into the living room-
Zigeris- Kimi?
From the kitchen
Kimi- I'm here, not wanting to be but I am Zigeris
Zigeris: whats wrong?
Kimi: Heh? is that even a joke? Zigeris please tell me, I can't stand to give myself to you and you not being there. When someone says that they need you like that it means they love you. And you have to say ether you do or don't Zigeris please tell me how you feel...
Zigeris: We have to leave Liberty....*sighs* tonight..
Kimi: Unbelievable Zigeris stop living in your world and look at me! Zigeris do you have feelings for me?
Zigeris walks into the kitchen and takes Kimi's hand
Zigeris: Kimi, trust me this isn't the time to talk about this...
Kimi: Why not?
Zigeris looks unto the outside window quickly throwing Kimi to the ground. A explosion rips throw the kitchen Zigeris covers Kimi. Kimi is screaming. Zigeris holds her tight as the heat burns his back.-
Zigeris: **** I told you now you believe me? STAY DOWN!!!
Zigeris runs and grabs his gun
Zigeris: Kimi get to the docks, 34F its my cargo ship get there and stay there make sure no one follows you go!!!
Kimi: Where you going? hey ZIGERIS!!!
Zigeris runs and jumps out of the window just catching the unidentified craft. The craft attempts to shake him off he holds on discouraged it fly's off carrying him hundreds of feet above the ground and finally crashes him and it into another apartment window. It starts beeping frantically Zigeris runs into the other room. Just then a brilliant flash founded by a ear piercing roars, the craft destroyed itself. Zigeris screaming in pain gets up and stumbles into the room, he sees the whole side of the structure has be blown apart two bodies are laying burnt against the exit door. In order for him to get out he attempts to move the bodies by the charred skin was like puddy so he just forced the do open. Zigeris reaches the main lobby and sees the LPI already gathering at the doors he runs for the stairs, and gets down to the basement he looks for a way out. Finding one he limps to the streets edge, he looks up and see a person standing on the edge of the paralleled building. Seeing there is no way to get to the person he decides to get to his ship. Zigeris arrived and gets into the ship,-
Kimi: Zigeris!
Zigeris: Here, Sit down put the seat belts on we got to go
Kimi: What the hell was that whats going on!!! **** my bar where are you taking me? I don't have my phone to call in sick damnit
Zigeris: Shut up SHUT UP damnit, **** your bar it was too pricey for drinks anyway.
Zigeris launches the ship into and pilots its through the atmosphere and enters into space
Kimi: Excuse me it wasn't cheap crap everyone else sells. Where are we going?
-Zigeris's cargo vessel drifts into a quart spin towards New Yark Station while being tailed by two LPI officers. Kimi unsure what is going on becomes flustered in her mind they are wasting time, while the men trying to kill Zigeris are running free-
LPI Officer: Please halt your ship and prepare for a scan of your cargo hold Thank you.
Kimi: Hey ass hole why don't you stop wasting time and arrest the guys trying to kill my ZIGGY!
LPI: Excuse me?
Zigeris: Nothing she just on her time of the month*, and been...watching to many movies and tv *Kimi punches Zigeris in the back*
LPI: LSF Garmen isn't it?
Zigeris: Yes, Senior Agent Garmen
LPI: Stay right there sir,
Zigeris: For what?
The LPI office was made aware to contact to the LSF if Garmen left the planet's atmosphere. And with further instructions to detain the ship he is flying until the LSF can get to the extraction point. With the recent events unfolding, Zigeris was label a flight risk this information was not passed on through the proper channels of communications. During the wait Zigeris senses something is wrong and attempts to retrieve the frequency the LPI and LSF are using. What he hears briefly is the clearance to proceeded with the detainment and arrest. Zigeris quickly tells Kimi to bucket up.
LPI: Alright Zigeris Garmen shut off the engines and prepare to be boarded.
Zigeris knows the Junkers ZOI is near he can get to the debris field and lose them, he floods the area with countermeasures and sensor jammers and throws the throttle and flys straight up. The LPI stunned arm their missiles and catches up. Being too close to the planet the missiles locking systems were too weak from the gravity from the planets poles, they lock on to the countermeasures quickly. Getting closer to the debris field all but 2 countermeasures are left. Kimi is beside herself as Zigeris pushes the cargo vessel faster into the debris feel, diligently dodging the twisted metal and scraps of the past. Just suddenly-
Liberty Rogue: Engaging the LPI their corruption will not hurt another innocent soul, Godspeed and get out of here Zien
A partol of three Rogues take on the two LPI while knowing the danger the police were forced to face the rogues. Zigeris watches with great horror, he closes his eyes and draws a "X," in his mind.
Zigeris: **** you shouldn't have followed me, you knew the risk don't you die
Kimi: Whats going on!
Zigeris: I can't help them, if we do we die Liberty is not our heaven anymore.
Kimi: Rochester base....what are we doing here?
Zigeris: The junkers congress knows me, and they will take us somewhere safe until i can sort all this out.
Rochester Base a safe heaven for many people just looking to run, to hide or to never be known to exist. Many pilots come and go all make the comment if the walls could talk the stories they would recount would be amazing. Atlas the Junker's Congress are often proud of their past and never let it die.....
While Kimi sits at the bar, Zigeris sells and hacks the ID software of his cargo vessel and requested to tag along on one of their routes close to the Tau systems, knowing getting to Kusari space would be nearly impossible at this time. One pilot agrees, his name is Greg flys a rather large transport for the junkers taken in anything from water to gold. He tells Zigeris that they will be ready to leave within an hour. Back at the bar.
Man: So why don't I take you aboard my nova? uh? I promise you it'll be a blast especially with your soft skin, and the cold space can get you pretty perky..
Kimi: Get off yourself creep, but you can buy me a drink though something strong,
Man: Oh? yeah I can do that so boy troubles? See that's whats wrong you don't need a boy you need a man, so tell me what does your boyfriend do? eh?
Kimi: **** you talk alot, can't just buy me a drink and shut up? And for your information I don't have a boyfriend.
Man: Hah then its prefect I'll take you to my ship and show you around this galaxy like no one else can.
Kimi: Bite me
Kimi gets up to walk away the man grabs her arm
Man: I'm not done yet
As soon as he finishes his word Zigeris unleashes a full right hook into the mans jaw throwing him over the bar table.
Zigeris: I think its time to get her that drink, prick *turns the bar tender* I want to Sides, and a redshot on his tab eh?
Bar Tender: Heh Sure
Zigeris: Thanks buddy...
*Zigeris firmly pats the mans chest and walks on by and Kimi follows*
Man: Yea...anytime...*coughs and wipes the blood from his mouth*
Zigeris and Kimi sit on the far end by the window looking out into the stars. Zigeris couldn't help but to avoid eye contact. He is scared, and confused he believes that if he looks into Kimi's eyes all his walls will come down and he will show every feeling he has. And that of course will make him seem weak....
Kimi: So where we going? since you've now made it to where i can't go home,
Zigeris: We're heading to the Tau systems for now, there is a freeport close to my bothers facility
Kimi: Oh? What does your brother do in the tau systems?
Zigeris: He designs and builds ships for private vendors
Kimi: Like...us?
Zigeris: Yeah yep like us.
Kimi: So where going to pick up a ship right? To do what? Like really whats going on? Who's trying to kill you?
Zigeris: We get the ship so we can travel unmarked, and I don't know who is trying to kill me, hell i'm LSF there is a huge list of people that would want me dead. When we get to my brothers base you can choose to stay there...and
Kimi: No I want to be with you,
Zigeris: Its going to be way to dangerous, already its been to close.
Kimi: I don't care what will happen you know, if i have to be here to bleed with you then i will just if i can save you from yourself.
Zigeris: From myself? eh its better if we didn't but whatever you can tag along. Say finish your drink and let us get to the transport we can talk more then were set on the way.
Kimi: Okey
Later inside the transport control bridge
Greg: Hi! aha welcome aboard you've chosen the best transport in all of Sirius I promise to keep you safe, heh no cargo? I'm assuming then Tau is where you're from?
Zigeris: Yeah that's it, thank you so much if you need anything else don't be afraid to ask.
Greg: Heh kid if you can't fly yourself to the Tau's I think you're a little short on income ahhahah don't worry i'm fine.
Zigeris: haha very well, we'll be in the mess hull.
Greg: Make yourself at home. I'll be down there in a bit got to get this boat underway.
Sitting there in the lightly lit room and coffee in hand Zigeris's mind wanders as there wasn't much to say from fatigue-- Kimi passes out resting her head on the table. To himself-
"I can't help to think if this has been all arranged that still even though I hurt I am still falling into the path fate as given me. That no matter what I do my end will be the same. Should i fight it? What do I owe fate to let it kill me. Will the questions I have be answered here in this realm of existence? or will it be carried with me to the after life. Such as life. The Tau systems is a war zone for the most part, many die in a war of which has no point. But that's where sources say that the Brille Supply company originated from and answers to much smaller questions, who and why have I been targeted for assassination. Records say that the founders came from New London system as a family foundation support front. Having their operations hosted in the Tau systems is abit out of the way. Especially for "Office Supplies," More or less the fact that they supply enemy houses. It doesn't make sense, they could be a secret intelligence service for one or another nation. If so then they might be trying to open sleeper cells in Liberty. I will have to find out for the good of the people and the security of Liberty. But there is nothing I can do for right now, no use not sleeping,"
Zigeris walks over to the other side of the table and picks Kimi up and carries her to their sleeping quarters. He lays her gently down on her bed, Kisses her forehead and gets into his bed turns the lights out. While asleep Zigeris begins to dream. The vision of stars falling from the sky when they hit the surface of the bare planet the fire ball engulf the entire horizon the hot red glow drowns out the rest of the stars from view. Suddenly within the fireball a face forms through the clouds of fire it roars "ZIGERIS." Zigeris awakes quickly and sits up his body is covered in sweat breathing hard he looks over at where Kimi lays and gets up. He takes the fallen blanket from her bed and lays next to her and replaces the blanket over them holding her hand he lays there awake, afraid to sleep.
Early morning
Greg: HEY *taps Zigeris's head* Wake up we're here, the Tau systems
Zigeris: Eh that fast uh? *rolls out of bed carefully not to disturb Kimi* Whats the coordinates?
Greg: Uh? OH Barring 405, 5600, 6000 dead in the middle of the plain. So we'll be docking at a Zoner base? Or let ya'll off in escape pods?
Zigeris: You've been talking to?
Greg: Well son, I figure you are running away from someone since you've taken a Junkers transport instead the pas-sager liners. But that's too why I haven't gotten to the base.
Zigeris: Well, escape pods would be cold if we have to wait, How about I call my brother to come pick us up from here.
Greg: Fair enough I'll be on the bridge call me when you find out I will hold the ship here.
Zigeris gets on the ships main comms cpu,

Greetings Lezen
It has been a long time since we've talked I am sorry to have not visited since I left the hospital work of course was very busy. And that you've moved GADC to the Tau systems made it difficult to find as-well. Brother I am in the Tau 27 system and require to pick up the ship i've order a long time ago. It seems that destiny finally calls for me to use it. Also make no mention of me returning to the GADC not even to friends. Someone wishes for me to be dead for whatever reason the quest to find out who has obligated me to escape from Liberty. I await your reply
Love your brother
Zigeris

Brother it does do me good to hear from you no worries about visiting ether as I understand the work that you do.
Lezen,
End Transmission
Zigeris moves away from the computer to himself...
"Now is the time to see my masterpiece my poetry of space,"
Kimi wakes up looks over at Zigeris empty bed, she becomes worried that something may be wrong and gets dressed. Zigeris quickly returns to the their quarters and spooks Kimi.
Kimi: AYE!
Zigeris: Sorry, Say get your stuff my brother is coming to pick us up.
Kimi: Stuff? I don't have stuff you seem excited.
Zigeris: Yea you might say that I haven't seen my brother in nearly 3 years, it should be most interesting to see what he has done to my company.
Kimi: Your company?
Zigeris: Yea I set it up and built the Garmen Auto Defense Contracting from scratch
Kimi: I see, How long until he'll be here?
Zigeris: I'm guessing around hour
Kimi: Great then i'm going to take a shower care to join me?
Zigeris: Eh when we dock on my brothers base we can shower I really just want to make sure nothing goes wrong
Kimi: FINE i'll shower alone *makes a pouty face*
Zigeris: Don't stand there looking at me just go and shower i'll be on the bridge
Kimi throws her hands up in the air and lets em drop with a defeated strut she walks into the shower stall. And without removing her clothes she turns on the shower. Zigeris anxious he walks to the bridge without saying anything else to Kimi.
Greg: Aye your brother is coming eh?
Zigeris: Yes
Greg: I hope he doesn't run into any hassle with the locales ahah.
Zigeris looks on into the dark emptiness of space searching the stars for any movement.
Through the vast nebula cover a dark shade appears, it is large the craft seemed to be consumed by its size. They have reached the GADC base. Upon docking the entire dock bay was populated with guards. The ship lands. The guards opened the transport shuttles doors
Guard: SIR!
Lezen Garmen: At ease take the shuttle down to storage
Zigeris: My what a operation you have here since i've left eh?
Lezen: My adviser said it would be best that it have a military structure here gives a sense of importance please..come to my office. Miss Kimi can rest in the lobby. The guards can escort her.
Kimi: Oh I hope they have good food out here aha! Woo!
*Kimi hugs Zigeris and moves on out of the docking bay*
Lezen: Shes hyper, anyway Zigeris we must make haste. I have your ship ready, you've picked a busy time to pick it up.
Zigeris: Why? Whats going on?
Lezen: Well remember when I had to move GADC?
Zigeris: I don't really know the details...just something about en accident
Lezen: Heh you might say that but our project kinda went insane and destroyed a few of the empire's bases and KNF vessels. We explained that it was not intentional... They didn't...listen.
*Zigeris punches Lezen pushes him into the wall"
Zigeris: WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?
Lezen: Eh *Coughs* Why so cut throat? We have a military contract for a project that deals with combat systems...and it didn't work according to plan...it took a month to destroy what test subjects we could find..
Zigeris: So what now? I cannot be here if the Empire wants you dead..
Lezen: Brother this is a battle between the old era and the new...we are on the brink of the future Zigeris.
Zigeris: You want my help...
Lezen: You need to pilot the prototype...
Zigeris: I can't ...fight with this...GADC are scientists and engineers! they're not warriors.
Lezen: Brother we've changed since the last time you've seen us. We have a defense fleet. We can crush them
Zigeris: I won't have anything with this....war....excuse me
Lezen: Of course...
*Zigeris Leaves Lezens office*
Lezen: So, he won't fight for us I told you so.
Hologram: Hmm we need his abilities to complete our experiment. We don't have much time. Our Hybridgenetic Humans are to few, and we can't use normal humans for our fighters.
Lezen: Understandable even if the KNF destroys this base our pilots couldn't survive without the Control Computer. Should we move it?
Hologram: Hard to say If we move it now, we cannot fight the KNF send the data to my transponders our city now has the abilities to construct vessels. I will send the required credits for your services.
Lezen: Very well we'll use this conflict as the field testing...Aye? If the base is destroyed than I will contact you from another location to continue the production of your fleet.
Hologram: Agreed
The transmission ends Lezen looks through the window in his office that looks over the production line. Lezen to himself
"Brother, this is our last chance to keep whats ours intact you must fight with us,"
Lezen finds Zigeris in the production room floor examining his fighter
Lezen: Ah Zigeris look sorry to be rude but you must understand what is at stake
Zigeris: This ship you've constructed were exactly to what i predicted.
Lezen: Yes, of course
Zigeris: Then it should be powerful enough to repel a patrol fleet
Lezen: Sadly thats what were up against here, ether spys or scouts found our base we may not have pilots but what we do have is our honor, Fight with me brother...
Zigeris: No...
Suddenly the base shakes and the lights flicker. Alarm bells are sounding and people run in all sorts of directions. Lezen turns his back to his brother and walks on. Zigeris is left there staring at his fighter. Kimi is escorted to the safe rooms and locked in with the other civilians at the base. Outside the battle begins.
GADC pilot: Don't get to close to those battleships! we need to hold them off long enough for our prototypes to lunch!
KNF pilot: Your treacherous dishonor will not go unnoticed you shall die here tonight!
The battleships take out the base turrets and now begin to focus on any transports leaving the base. The fighter and bombers engage the GADC pilots, which were out numbered three to one. Like a firework show Lezen can only watch in horror
Lezen: Those lights are death...commence the operation!
GADC Guard: Yes sir,
The guard unlocks the lower gates in the base and sends instructions to a few unnamed pilots that were kept from the first launch of defense pilots. The pilots start up there ships, 2 fighters and 2 bomber class vessels. They launch.
Lezen: Good now see the rising sun be covered with the clouds of darkness!
Meanwhile still in the production room too, Zigeris was listening to the combat feeds and was horrified with the losses that were being sustain by the GADC pilots. He decides to launch
Zigeris: This is Zigeris Huu Garmen Launching in the Alpha Centari! Open the hatch!
The double gates of the production room opened all the debris from within get sucked out into space the Alpha Centira launches out into the battle
GADC guard: Sir, Zigeris Garmen just launched the Alpha Centira
Lezen: Perfect. turn on the UnioGeneticBattleSystem!!!!
GADC: AYE AYE!
Zigeris piloting through the battle first targeting the KNF bombers doing the most damage with the Alpha Centira's speed and power they were no match for them.
Zigeris: THIS BATTLE IS USELESS!!!
GADC guard: 13 seconds until full power
Zigeris: What the hell is this light?
The light source coming form the base was clearly not cause by the battles hail of fire. This light was something else. Just has Zigeris finished his sentence his cockpit begins to light up
Zigeris: What the ****!?
Zigeris falls unconscious and like a dream he watches his body preform tasks involuntary destroying all targets that came in front of the Alpha Centria. He sees other lights moving and destroying the KNF targets, they focus on the battleships. One destroyed with in minutes the KNF pull back....
Lezen: Shut the system down...it works wonderfully....ready the medical staff.
GADC Guard: Aye sir.
Back in the Alpha Centira Zigeris regains consciousness
Zigeris: What the ...eh? What happened? Wheres the enemy?
Lezen over hearing the transmission from Zigeris he thinks to himself.
" The data my brother provided was incredible clearly the Alpha Centira and him were meant to be together no typical human can live while piloting that beast. HA who'd the thought that the man who written the basic functions of the combat system would have been able to use it himself."
Zigeris wasn't strong enough to dock the ship, his body felt as though it went through a full days run exhausting and Ill. Lezen had him taken to the Medical bay. Kimi finally being able to argue her way to the medical bay goes to visit Zigeris, despite the doctors imposed suggestion to leave him be she wakes Zigeris up
Zigeris and Kimi continues to talk as the doctors go over the medicate exam with Lezen
Doctor: It seems that his brain is completely conditioned to the brave waves frequencies the system puts out. Though like normal humans his body couldn't take it or well his body is not conditioned for it yet.
Lezen: I see, and it would be no use to us if he dies, what could we do to condition his body quicker?
Doctor: Well, Chemicals in Cardimine was extracted to speed up the senses in our Test pilots. We could attempt to do the same. Only it works better sense its build into their genetic DNA, I have no idea how it will effect an already grown DNA structure. I say if he is to walk within the hour it very well be that he'll easily be conditioned. Where did you find him?
Lezen: Heh a divine meeting Doctor... thank you,
Back to Zigeris and Kimi
Zigeris: Really I don't know, But I know I need to get to my brother with KNF being on our tails You and I cannot stay for long.
Kimi: Oh hmm well you should rest...and maybe we can leave after you feel better, I heard that most of the transports trying to get out were shot down..
Zigeris: I felt as though in my dream I could feel the people dying..as though my energy was being drained...its crazy
Kimi: Get some rest...
Kimi stands up and kisses Zigeris's forehead and walks down the hull to the lobby curious about her home system she changes channels to the Liberty CNS channel and watches.
Kimi looks on and with no surprise to the news she turns off the monitor to herself
"People are always killing each other! FOR WHAT! can't we just live together? You would think space is big enough. Zigeris I don't know whats happening since we got here you've been so cold, your emotions seemed to be blocked even when I look into your eyes its not the same. Could it be that visiting your past has cause you to go back to your old ways? What is here that you're really searching for? I love you Zigeris, I know you love me. I know you do just tell me. You are the only one who can."
Kimi sits down at the stations bar and crisscrosses her arms, rested on the counter, and lays her head down. The bar tender was not present She had the lobby mainly to herself and while faint sounds of people and objects moving she falls asleep
Lezen receives a message that a consultant is coming to inspect their progress on the contracted project. Lezen intrigued, and worried moves all the ships and their pilots to a secured viewing room. Such projects cannot been in the hands of rogue groups. Lezen orders everything to be cleaned up for the arrival of the clients. And told the guard to wear plan cloths, concealed weapons and keep watch for anything suspicious. Lezen receives a transmission in his office...
Hologram: Lezen I've heard what happened
Lezen: We lost alot of pilots we need supplies badly
Hologram: Aye, I have sent them with the consultant. He is a strange fella but never the less will do the work as required for little pay. This marks a historical day in our Operation.
Lezen: Yes, I too feel the sense that the new era is close to us.
Hologram: How did your brother fair with the Alpha Centira?
Lezen: It was remarkable you should have seen it for yourself
Hologram: Good, do you think you can trust him?
Lezen: He'll have to join our operation if he doesn't...
Hologram: Kill him...
Lezen: Yes, It would have to be done.
The transmission closes and Lezen stand by the window. The guard walks in and tell him that the consultant has arrived. Lezen ready his office and accepts the permission to dock. The transport docks.. The guards sees to it that the guest was escorted to Lezens office. When there Lezen was startled by the figure of this man. His hair long and dark, his eyes were covered with a red optical sensors, his coat was a long outer coat darken gray. His boot were ridged and black.
Man: Go day sir...
Lezen: Hi, I am Lezen Garmen you are?
Man: I am...Gothera
Lezen: Just Gothera?
Gothera: Yes.
Lezen: Alright have a seat. now I understood you were to look at the products right?
Gothera: Yes, that and to pick up some equipment.
Lezen: Oh very well then, We're experiencing issues so if ya don't mind we'll take the long way through lobby we'll pick up some drinks
Gothera: Heh that's all find by me
The guards, Lezen and Gothera walk down to the lobby, Lezen seeing Kimi sleeping apologizes to Gothera and wakes up Kimi she jumps at first, Lezen whispers into her ear to go back to the medical bay where Zigeris is. She looks around and in almost a scream she quickly covers her mouth. She just recognized who the man was that was standing behind Lezen. She nods her head and starts walking away slowly and when out of site she begins to run.
Lezen: Heh Kids eh? aha here what do you like?
Gothera: Anything will do
Lezen: Very well let us go
In the medical center Zigeris is vast asleep with some sleep aids administered from the doctors. He dreams of Kimi dancing around and the smile on her face
Kimi: ZIGERIS ZIGERIS!
Zigeris wakes up
Zigeris: Eh...i was just dreaming about you...
Kimi: Zigeris! that man is here...
ZIgeris: What? who your ex? what guy?
Kimi: No Dumbass that terrorist...
Zigeris: Terrorist? Where?
Kimi: I seen him in the Lobby with your brother!!
*Zigeris gets up*
Zigeris: **** stay here
*Doctors sees Zigeris get up and try holding him down*
Doctors: Sir you need to rest!
Zigeris: Doc there's a terrorist on board this base!
*Zigeris pushes him out of the way and runs for his gun*
Kimi to herself
"Please be careful Zigeris,"
Zigeris having not the slightest clue on what profile the terrorist had he carefully navigated to the main lobby. He peaks around the corner and sees no one. He creeps around the corner and listens for anything that could identify a direction, a clue to where the dangerous fiend must be. He hears glass breaking from the hallway parallel to the one he came from. He looks and runs to the entrance way. He pears into lightly lit corridor and finds nothing relating to the source of the sound. We walks slowly gun ready to fire at a moments notice. A cold breeze seems colder with the sweat bearing on his forehead. He sense something.
Man: Can I help you?
Zigeris quickly turns around and grabs the man forcing him into a arm locked position.
ZIgeris: Who are you!!
Man: EHH damnit Zigeris let me go, I am Dr. Kosak.
Zigeris: You work for my brother?
Dr.Kosak: Yes, now get off before I slug you a good one
Zigeris picks him up and brushes off any dust they may have gotten on his suit. Dr.Kosak seemed to have a long face, something was not right. Zigeris notes that the brief case that we was caring wasn't completely closed. Inside was millions of credits. Zigeris assumes he is stealing.
Zigeris: You come with me, and stay close we're at danger here,
Dr.Kosak: What? Danger from what? The Navy is gone, Look i would love to play the games with you but I have a meeting to get to. It is vital to the GADC operations.
Zigeris looks around.
Zigeris: Operation Dr.Kosak I was only aware of the ship productions
Dr.Kosak: Ah? You can't build experimental crafts designed for superhumans...if you don't have the super humans you twit. I am going to pick up new test pilots in order to complete more needed combat data.
Zigeris: From who? The people who ordered this project?
Dr.Kosak: Ordered? No this is our project read the memo, anyway I better be going ....
Zigeris: What is this project for? Again..I've been tired...
Dr. Kosak: War of course.
Zigeris watched him walk away, he is stunned GADC and his brother rather wouldn't ever have this much involvement in a war. Sure they built weapons and ships but this was completely different. He must find the terrorist he thought. He returns to the lobby and looks around seeing only a elevator he opens the door. And finds there is no cart to take him, he pears down in the long dark shaft. To himself.
"Well I'm not getting any younger...each level is about 200 feet apart...I can climb that I think."
Zigeris begins to carefully hoist himself on the cable and slowly inch his way down. the farther from the opened doors the less light there was for him to see. It wasn't long before it was so dark his point of reference was lost. He continues to creep downwards.
Meanwhile...
Lezen: You must be mad!!!
Gothera: DON'T INSULT ME!
Lezen: You want mox, and warheads? And you think I am just going to hand over our stock to you?
Gothera: Its been paid for already now do the good deed harlet and load my vessel. I have a business date in Liberty I shall not want to be late for.
Lezen: This is unacceptable, why not accept money. Or hell we'll give you locations on where you can buy some.
Gothera: It goes something like this, you believe in a higher authority and so do I. My god tells me I need to do tasks in order to harvest the ripe fields to feed him, so i do. I do as instructed and I DO not stop until I reach my goal. I can sense the fear in you, but don't worry the God of Fear is longing for souls who don't see the future as we do...
Lezen: Very well, I'll have it loaded at once, and not to be to subtle with this, when it is loaded I want you to leave right away and never return.
Gothera: Heh, there will be no need to return to this place. I'll be in my transport...ehh I'll leave here as requested.
Lezen: Very Good,
Gothera leaves the viewing room. Lezen looks at his guards.
Lezen: GET OUT and lock the damn door.
Guards: Yes Sir!
Lezen opens a transmission link
Lezen: Greetings Master,
Hologram: You seem annoyed
Lezen: Yes, it seemed your consultant wasn't interested in the product at all. In fact our supplies of MOX and our last warheads are now being transferred to his transport.
Hologram: Eh!? What?
Lezen: What you don't know? Huh? If you needed more weapons you can just ask not do this cue ****.
Hologram: Rest assure the instructions I gave Dr. Xiang Xong were too inspect the crafts...
Lezen: Dr. Xiang Xong? Not Gothera....you said the consultant was weird and surely the man i've visited was insane
Hologram: Dr.Xiang Xong is...well confused about his gender..I figured he'd be wearing a dress suit or something Gothera? I am not aware of that name. He didn't leave with anything of our operational data right?
Lezen: No, and I will take care of this,
Lezen ends the transmission. The events now caught him in between a state a shear anger and laughter. He sends out a command to his guards to stop Gothera and cease the loading of the weapons. Lezen quickly heads to the elevator gets in and begins to press the level of which he intends to go. Only 900 feet above Zigeris is still climbing down using the cables as place holders. Zigeris hears something.
Zigeris: What...the S****
The cables become electrically charged and burns Zigeris hands as he quickly uses his boots to hold him in place.. Hanging upside down he realizes the fate that awaits him. Which only moments to spare Zigeris attempts to swing the cable using his legs. In hopes that he could grab onto something. Zigeris quickly sees the light of the cart moving upwards the speed would clearly break bones if he stays there whtn the light filling the the gaps he sees a indented box big enough to hold him while staying clear of the moving cart. He swings his body as hard as he can lets go. He catches the edge with his burnt hands he shouts out in pain. Zigeris has only seconds to get his whole body into the gap. With every last strength he pulls himself just in the nick of time.The cart rushes pass him in such a speed it lifts him from the edge and sucks him back into the shaft falling feet first Zigeris is in danger.
Zigeris now falling quickly he again uses his boots as a friction press with the speed and weight of his body the method fails to slow him down quickly. As he sides his boots melt and some areas fuse into the other boot. Eventually he comes to a stop. Without a slightest clue on how far he fell he shouts out for help. But stops when he realizes it would do him no good. With his strength slowly being drained Zigeris is long from danger
Gothera had taken what he can, of MOX and one Warhead. This satisfied his motives and left.. a present at the docking bay. When the guards reached the unidentified object they couldn't help but to be disgusted. It was the be headed body of Dr. Xiang Xong. Lezen orders the removal of the body and contacts the Bounty Hunters Guild to hunt down the transport and kill him without any mercy.
/// This is the end of Chapter 3. I hope you enjoy your readings here. If you have any comments or questions feel free too contact me.
Right, this story has way more to go, anything that is left unanswered I promise you will be answered by the final chapter. Or withing the following chapters.
Basically to recap in all three chapters, Zigeris was relieved of duty in the LSF because of a potential danger to the squad when he started day dreaming on a a mission.
