Forsaken

[Implosion]

Bravo team and Lea entered the storage area at sublevel C. There weren't any hull breaches or signs of boarding. The hull was intact and the cargo was stacked neatly. Interestingly, the cargo itself wasn't what one would expect. Instead of crates full of supplies and ammo, the hold was full of self-contained stasis chambers. Most of them were occupied, except for one. It was located at the far side of sublevel "C" and the word "MANUAL OVERRIDE" could be read on the screen.

Suddenly, the marines stopped in place, their leader was receiving orders through his earpiece. He kept replying with "Yes sir!" and "Understood." When his briefing was finished, he nodded towards Lea and the marines aimed their weapons at her.

"End of the line for you, lady. You should've kept your nose out of our business."

The passage of time suddenly slowed down to almost a halt, their fingers were slowly, but surely, on their way to a complete trigger pull. And then boom. But the guns didn't fire. The sound came from a maintenance panel, exploding in the distance. The lights went out. Two blue eyes crossed the room at inhuman speeds. The lights on the marines' armored vests were flickering in the dark like fireflies, as their owners were tossed around the compartement. The two blue eyes systematically went from one marine to another. There were gunshots, but not many. There wasn't enough time. In less than thirty seconds, everything was over. The silence, and darkness, were both broken by a flare going off, a few meters from Kaufman. The room was once again illuminated, albeit dimly so. The person holding the flare was no other than the Guildmaster himself. He was wearning only a pair of stasis pants, with the rest of suit missing. He was visually unshaken and unscratched by the events that had just transpired.

"Hello, Ms. Kaufman and welcome to hell." -He paused for dramatic effect-"While you compose yourself, would you mind turning around? I want to get his damn suit off and it seems like this guy here is the same size at me."

Daniels kicked the lifeless body, as if he wasn't sure enough the marine is already as dead as he can be.

"I doubt he'll be needing his stuff anymore, don't you think? What's it called...ah yes, legitimate salvage."

He quickly slipped on the jeans and navy shirt, strapped the armored vest around his chest and took the marine's gun.

"Not an APM Atomizer, but I guess this primitive laser pistol would do. Now then, I assume you have lots of questions and this is starting to look like a monologue, so please, use your words Lea."
