X'Hre federation prison ship 'Nebod-Farar'
the Nebod-Farar was located in the Kunedil system, a system of 37 uninhabited planets orbiting a dying sun, with no mineral or planetary resources to speak of the Kunedil system served only one purpose, to hold 300 of the most deranged and dangerous beings that the X'Hre federation ever encountered, due to the danger of the beings held the ship had no weapons or engines, and had over 2000 guards at any time.
230 or so of the beings held where on decks 3-28, these were beings considered safe enough to placed in close proximity to each other, not to say they weren't dangerous but it simply wasn't logistically sane to hold them in separate containment units, beatings were common ,deaths less so, as most were highly resilient to physical damage.
Approximately 70 though were considered so dangerous enough to warrant separate guards and specialised containment units, collectively these 70 had killed over 20 billion lifeforms, all were convicted of mass genocide or similar and all were utterly implacable, in the event of a breach a containment unit could be flooded with highly volatile plasma, vented from the power plants, this would kill all but the most resilient of prisoners in under 10 seconds.
Finally there were five beings considered so dangerous, so powerful, even naming them was a capital offence, together they had killed over 45 billion lifeforms, destroyed well over 40 planets and countless ships, all of them were 'on ice', in actuality they were kept in solid nitrogen, unable to move breath of sleep, kept in an eternal prison, these all had guards numbers in the hundreds, and should any breach the room would be flooded with plasma and then bombarded by the battle cruisers guarding the prison ship.
Our story focuses on the most feared of the five, a being named Relativity, so feared on the ship that even though he was on ice many feared he was just biding his time waiting for the moment to unleash hell.
It was with this in mind that a terrorist group 'Judgement' a highly religious group, fanatical about destroying the X'Hre federation, decided that releasing relativity was the catalyst to there plans
"unknown ship, you have entered federation ship, state you name, intent and send your codes" the voice was that of 38 year old commander Kohanson
"this is the 'Cedug' we are en route to the 'Nebod-Farar' delivering food" this was true, the ship was a refitted third generation carrier used to deliver food to the 'Nebod-Farar' "sending the codes now" he pressed button and the carrier gave the battlecruiser the information it needed, with the code received and verified the commander relaxed visibly
"welcome back, proceed to bay 4"
"we have explicit orders to unload at bay 8, form the high commander himself" the commander grimaced, trust the high commander to make his life a misery
"ok, proceed to bay 8" the terrorists turned off the radio with a sigh, that was the difficult part out of the way. The helmsman switched to auto-pilot and they all starting putting on their HEV mark 9 suits and various weapons.
About 5 minutes later they landed in bay 8, as expected there was no military presence, so the set off a EMP and then killed the engineers, the hacker then went to the console and simply pulled out the wiring,m gutting the machine. With that done they opened the door and hurried out.
They had compiled a map from bay 8 to Relativity's containment unit, so it only took them 3 minutes to reach, of course it was locked, but the door stood no chance against their quantum charges, as it flew open, killing the 3 guards of duty and disorientating the others, the terrorists rushed in a killed all of them, ensuring the alarm wasn't raised, the terrorists spread out and around the room, which gave them a chance to inspect it. It was incredibly sparse, the floor was solid metal plates, except around relativity's pod where it was metal grille, the walls were again plate metal, as was the ceiling. around the edge were several computers all showing various vital statistics and monitoring the conditions. The hacker quickly loaded his virus, which over-rode the password and biometrics protection, he then started releasing the pod, the men gathered around the pod, weapons raised. The release procedure took time but eventually the door was pulled up and the rapidly liquefying nitrogen went through the metal grille, though the steam the men couldn't see anything until it cleared, a boy, looking barely older than 16 stood wide awake and watching them. the leader approached and the men tightened their grips on their weapons
"I represent Judgement, the group that has just rescued you" the boy only nodded airily taking in the room and the men
"you will come with us" the boy's gaze snapped back to the leader he tilted his head slightly and then shook his head
"you will obey or we will kill you" the boy shrugged and vanished, they all looked around in confusion, though it wasn't enough within seconds they all lay dead, Relativity came to a dad stop at the door, considering h next course of action before blurring out of sight, just second later a fire team rounded the corner and raced into the room, they surveyed the dead men and the unlocked pod before the leader raised his radio
"we have A2 6R, relativity has escaped, repeat we have A2 6R, relativity has escaped" just as he put it back the red alert was sounded.
Whenever possible British/American military terms are used eg fire team.
