The Hades Project

[Exile]

Damned corridors. Too many turns, too many halls. He could feel it though. He could almost hear it in the back of his head. It told him where to go, how to turn. He wasn't exactly sure what it was, but it called to him, and that sufficed.

He passed a small weapons cache. It was left unlocked, probaply by one of the few mercenary's on the ship arming themselves incase of a boarding. Luckily, it still held some weaponry. Two pistols, and a shotgun. It sufficed. Though his training back on Riviera had taught him how to use weapons like this, he'd never had to use it against another Human. Ever. Regardless, he put the pistols behind his back and hit the shotgun under his jacket...Somewhat.

Hallway, turn, left, right, hallway, left, down, hallway, right, cargobay. There were three people seemingly guarding some sort of container. The calm voice in his head turned into a collection of wardrums when he rested his eyes upon it. He wanted to jump inside there, guns blazing, grab the container, and leave the ship a hero. But he didn't. He hesitated. Why? He didn't know. Perhaps it was him doubting his cause, his masters, his goal. Maybe it was something else, or, some one else. The ship shook. He could see the shield taking a heavy pounding through the window, and knew he had to act now. Shck-Shck. Loaded.

WHAM!The door slammed against the ground and he waltzed in guns blazing as imagined. He shot one of the guards right in the chest and he flew backwards into a couple of food canisters. The other two stood there, shocked. He tried to fire again but the weapon jammed. This is probaply the reason why the gun was left behind in the first place. The guards snapped out of their shock and drew their weapons. BANG-BANG!

The walls had holes in them the size of watermelons, and so did the guards. Johnathan stood there with his guns aimed at the place where the guards stood several seconds ago. Now they laid on the floor, bleeding and dead. The voice echoed once more, it almost seemed to roar out. He dropped his weapons and ran towards the container. It had Warning signs flashing all over it, but still he opened it.

As the container opened, the object inside it exploded with a massive force, tearing a chunk out of the ship in the process. Seconds after, the ship's radar detected a rather large host of yet unkown vessels approaching..
