Ba'al

[Tomtomrawr]

It was a normal day, nothing extra special or abnormal about it, and his Parents decided to invite him onto there ship. Karl being invited on his Parents ship was rare, he had only been into space 3 times before, and he was now 13 years old.

Karls Father, Richard, was loading the ship with its cargo, food rations. Him and Karls Mother, Jane, owned a small time delivery company, taking food rations from the plantations to the capital city. Sometimes they received a special job to deliver supplies to Pueblo or the Rio Grande Battleship, which they received big money for; well, it was big money to them, but to the eyes of Synth Foods they gave them a meer pitance.
The ship launched, Karl felt that oh so familiar burst of energy on the floor as the ship left the Planets atmosphere. This was the biggest job in the companies history, a delivery to Planet Manhattan, full of the best food rations Synth Foods could supply for them to take. If they managed to successfully complete the transporting of the goods, then the company would be safe from a financial crisis for a long time, hopefully long enough for Karl to start transporting goods aswell.
The ship left the atmosphere, and his father stopped the ship under order of a member of the Liberty Navy. The Officer requested to make a cargo scan, and soon enough the officer was back on the comms with the results.
He was an average guy, apart from some facial defects. Short hairs of stubble pierced from his cheeks and his short black hair wasnt able to go anywhere except upwards or flat down, but he kept it spiked up. He had a long scar running down his face, it looked like it had been burned on. His voice was low and because of the poor quality of the speakers in the ship it came out quietly, varying in pitch after every word.
Sir, please drop the contraband. The tone he said it in was one that was used to giving orders, possibly a squadron leader.
Contraband? Karls father asked, Theres no contraband on this ship, just a shipment of food heading for Manhattan.
Failure to comply will result in your ships destruction. The officers voice started to sound agrivated.
We are not carrying contraband, I checked the cargo myself before we launched, there is nothing there except food!
The comm shut off, and the ship shuddered.
My god, those bastards are shooting us!
What do we do!? Karls mother screamed, tears started to form in her eyes. The ship shuddered again, more violently now. The computer started giving its automated warnings.
Shield strength 65%.
Shield strength 20%.
Shield failure imminant.
Atmosphere venting in cargo hold 3.
Karls father was sitting down in the control chair, the automated defences were activated after the first shield warnings started. Karls mother was in the other chair, panicking. Karl was just stood in the middle of the control room, shocked by the situation at hand. Then his father stood up, grabbed Karl under the arms, and placed him in the only escape pod.
Be safe my son, he muttered so only Karl could hear, his mother hadnt noticed what was happening between them. There wasnt contraband in the cargo, weve been set up. Then again he said Be safe my child, be safe. He closed the escape pod door before Karl could complain, and slammed his hand onto the ejection button.
Karl was not prepared and was not on the seat when his father activated the detach sequence, so when the thursters engaged and initiated the massive jolt of speed to move away from the ship as quickly as possible he was thrown into the glass screen that showed the ship, with his parents inside, getting destroyed. As he drifted into unconciousness his last image was off his father, with his hand pressed against one of the windows, his eyes were closed and he seemed to accept he was about to die.
