PART FOURTEEN:
THE VAULTS

(fade from black as they stop out side of a large red door with the icons XV on it)

"what do they mean?" said Klik pointing at the icons on the door

"huh? There's no time to explain come, also you might want to put on a bio suit" then Draconas threw a white suit at Klik they then opened the door to reveal a blue room then Draconas stepped on a pair of yellow foot prints on the floor and Klik did the same then the room filled with a white gas then it got sucked out then Draconas opened the next door and it lead to a room that white it almost hurts your eyes, Draconas then walked up to a computer and checked the read outs "hmmm she's progressing nicely"

"where is Tika?" said Klik looking at the seemingly empty room

"that is a trick question, she is over here..." then Draconas opened a morgue draw with Tika on it "...and at the same time she is underneath you" then Klik stepped back and could faintly see a seam on the floor

Draconas pressed a button and the floor opened up and a green tube with a feature less irken was floating in the tube

"what madness is this?" gasped Klik

"the madness of one of our previous tallest's" said draconas looking at a readout

"do the current tallest know of this?" said Klik while he was looking at the tube with one hand on it

"no, nobody knows about this except for me and you, if you check this read out you will find out why I haven't told anyone" then Draconas handed Klik a portable screen then Klik's expression became a focused one and he went to the nearest wall and sat down Draconas then looked over his shoulder and saw him sitting on the floor pressed a few buttons and out of the wall opposite Klik a table, chair and coffee machine slid out

"thanks" he then crossed the room made a coffee and continued to read the notes.

(begin fast framing with Klik drinking his coffee and Draconas occasionally injecting nano bots into the tube crafting the features on the irken inside slowly making it look more like Tika then after a while Klik joins in as well until the body is complete)

"draining fluid...draining...draining...the subject is now complete...please select PAK for grafting"

Draconas went to the bench he was working at and picked up Tika's PAK and gave it to the robotic arm the arm then spun it's head to a pair of drills and then measured on her back an distance of 8 inches then drilled into her spine then the head turned to a claw with a pair of silver cones then bored them into the holes in her spine then the head spun to the claw with the PAK and connected it then shocked her she sat there on the floor for a few seconds with a glazed look on her face then she looked at Draconas then at Klik then her expression became one of a scowl then she started growling and crawled her way towards Klik and he pressed him self to the wall and she was a foot away from him then Draconas picked up a large barreled gun and shot her sending her flying against the wall

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT FOR! DID YOU JUST BRING HER BACK TO LIFE JUST TO KILL HER?!" Klik screamed at draconas with his hands in fists at his sides

"look over there" said Draconas pointing to Tika with his chin when Klik saw her, she was failing on the ground like an eel and hissing violently trying to get out of the net that bound her body leaving only her head and feet exposed

"how are we going to explain that she's not dead?"

"she's good at playing dead isn't she, good doctor"

"uh, yeah, good at playing dead, but how are we going to explain that to the people who operated on her?"

"they have already been taken care of"

Klik then raised his eyebrow and said "what did you do to them?" expecting the worst and fearing for poor sputnik

"I just wiped the last few days of their minds"

Klik then ley out a small sigh of relief "so in theory I haven't returned Skitzatos Seven"

"indeed which is why I had your office moved up here"

"so we can go now?"

"oh we have been heading to Devastis since you came on board"

"WHAT! That's smeetnap!"

"I have the tallest's permission to take you and Tika"

"fine, do you have any thing for her to wear?"

"yes I do" then Draconas went to a panel and took a sack then threw it at him and said "I've had my tailors repair it for her"

(fade to black as Klik starts to dress Tika while trying to avoid her claws and teeth)
