Chapter 9: Aussehen
Third Act: Doppelschlag
White Lightning, Bridge:
Everyone was resting in their bedrooms except for Tails who was monitoring the ship's systems from his command chair ...
"Master you should be sleeping, what are you doing here yet?" - Said R.A.M.P who was entering the bridge
"I just check some things ... AAAAGGGHHH ... before going to sleep" - the fox Yawned
"Let me finish that, go to rest Master"
"All right" - But then an alarm was heard...
"Someone tries to get into the ship!"
"Intrusion in the 7G sector"
"Activate all the sensors" - Tails Ordered, But Nothing appeared - "What is happening ?!"
"They are making a hole in the hull of the ship" - And indeed RAMP was right, a hole had been drilled outside the shield of the WL - "Sir, there must be a ship attached to the WL, but it must use a kind of special phase camouflage we can not detect "
"Put all the droids on alert, remodulate the sensors, seal all access to the 7G sector, alert the crew to meet on the bridge IMMEDIATELY"
Moments later, on the bridge of the ship:
"What's going on Tails? It's too early." - Fenrir said something sleepy while the others nodded.
"What IS going on? the ship is being invaded for a second time" - replied the fox
"And you say it so quietly?" - Isis Said
"I do not gain anything from panicking and we have to be cautious, they seem to be using a kind of bio modulating field that makes them invisible to our sensors and our eyes. However we cornered them with in the 7G sector, hopefully everyone will be there "
"What does that all mean?" - Coeruli Asked
"It's just ... we do not know how many they are, we're scanning the whole sector trying to defuse their camouflage; The droids are using the ships to deactivate the camouflage of the intruder ship. "- Then Tails placed on the main screen the video of one of the ships, they were bombarding with their weapons what appeared to be a kind of transparent mass, the magneto bombs were adhered to the hull and exploded and for a moment the appearance of the intruder ship was seen - "Apparently the ship is susceptible to magnetic weapons although their systems are restored quickly but we can not use them inside without damaging our own systems"
"What will we do then?"
"The important thing now Cosmo is to be prepared for anything, you all will go back to your rooms with a group of droids as your escorts in case any of the intruders have not been locked inside the sector 7G" - Tails answered to the Seedrian but ...
"Wait ... how will droids protect us if they can not see the intruders?" - the Seedrian Asked
"Weeeeell, with oil bombs"
"Oil?" - They all said
"Yep, the black oil is not easily removed and if something happens the radius of the bomb will cover it. Their devices will not save them from a trap like this "
"Aha and we will also get smeared"
"It is only until we can disarm the bio modulating field Fenrir, and whoever they are, I do not think they came for us. We will also see how many people are trapped in the sealed area using the oil trap. you can go now your escorts await you"- And while they returned to their rooms ...
"Are you sure this is a good idea Master?"
"Do not worry R.A.M.P, I am aware of the risk. The droids that accompany them emit an EMP field that must cause interference in their systems if they get too close and the oil compound that was prepared has a curious reaction to the black light, we will find them no matter where they hide "- Tails responded ...
Meanwhile in the 7G sector, some voices were heard ...
"I can not believe they trapped us here, and we can not use the ship"
"Why not?"
"Because these people broke the engines with their attacks and soon they will damage the shields and the camouflage"
"I told you this was a bad idea"
"We could try to talk to them instead of invading their ship"
"They would not have helped us, look how they have us" - At that moment from the ceiling appeared several conduits of which rained the mixture of oil covering them completely ...
"What the hell ...!" - Then The black light covered the whole sector - "They can see us!"
At that moment sentry droids appeared everywhere aiming their weapons ...
"UH OH" - ... And the intruders received electric shocks that left them unconscious and also damaged their artifacts
Meanwhile, on the bridge:
"OK that turn out very well"
"Yes and almost fried them in the process, I did not think they were so many" - R.A.M.P Said to Tails
"There are ten of them, do you think there are more R.A.M.P?"
"I do not know, but we should do something to make sure there are no more of them"
"What is the status of the enemy ship?" - Then the ship appeared on the main screen
"We managed to deactivate its bio modulating field, however we used the power of the disruptor canon to deactivate the field. What will we do if there are still intruders on the ship? "
"R.A.M.P isolate them in the sector 7G, Let the droids deprive them of their technology to analyze it, DO NOT LET THEM MOVE A MUSCLE"
While that was happening all the others were being escorted to their rooms but Fenrir and Isis were being watched ...
"Linok here Skady, what is your position?"
"I find myself following a female of plant origin, we barely escape from that trap. Are you ready to proceed? "
"Yes but it will be a problem my objective is guarded"
"Mine too, we'll have to find a way to get to them without being caught by those mechanical monsters"
White Lightning, Bridge:
"R.A.M.P What is the status of the analysis?" - Tails Asked by the communicator
"Its damping field seems to be a mixture of technologies although we have not been able to analyze it in depth because the discharges fried some of the circuits, but we are close to finding the way to disable it"
"Keep me informed of everything" - The moment he cut off communication with R.A.M.P He received a warning signal from one of the droids ...
"Master, we have a problem!"
"What happens now?"
"Master... Fenrir and Isis!"
"What?!"
Both were in the sickbay of the ship, there were strange stains on the body of Isis and Fenrir was losing fur from some parts of his body ...
"We do not know how Master, but it seems that they were attacked in their rooms and are presenting strange symptoms in their bodies ..."
"What about Cosmo and Coeruli?" - Tails asked the droid.
"They are in their rooms"
"Gather them and bring them to the bridge of the ship, do not leave them alone ... I will go to the Sickbay to know more about the state of the others"
Moments later ... with Cosmo and Coeruli ...
"What's going on?" - The Squamollian asked as she and Cosmo were escorted by a group of sentinel droids
"There are loose intruders inside the ship and they attacked two crew members, the Master ordered us to take you to the bridge so you are safe," - replied the droid
At that moment some of the droids of the escort were attacked but there was nobody in sight ...
"Proceed with the maneuver" - Then the droids released a cloud of the oil compound which adhered to all present, but at that time
"Cosmo!" - Little Coeruli had been held by the intruder who could barely be distinguished
"Let her go!" - Then Cosmo held her while one of the droids shot him with a discharge of energy temporarily damaging his camouflage, then without further choice the intruder had to run ...
"Are you ok?!"
"Yes but my arm hurts"
"We must take you to the bridge, there you will be safe" - And following the orders of the droid they resumed their way ...
Meanwhile in the Sickbay:
"According to the analysis their bodies were infected with an unknown pathogen, we have isolated it and we are trying to find a way to stop it" - Said one of the droids
"What's their current status?" - Tails Asked
"They are severely weakened, apparently the pathogen was in a very concentrated amount so its effects appeared in a matter of minutes"
"Like a vaccine, but with the opposite effect. Why would they do this to us? "
"Master, the Mistress and the little girl are on the bridge but we were attacked on the way" - A droid reported by the communicator
"Did they do something to them?"
"No, we managed to cover the attacker with the tracking compound and damage his camouflage before he could do anything"
"Look up into the air vents if necessary, but I want you to find the responsible for this disaster." - It was all Tails managed to say before he left ...
"Where are you going Master?"
"To chat with our guests"
7G Sector, Isolated Zone:
All the intruders were well tied and the sentry droids were aiming at them with their weapons, they all wore black masks and suits and many of them were unconscious ...
"Let us go!"
"You can not hold us this way"
"You are not in position to make demands" - Said one of the droids while loading its weapon
"I DEMAND TO TALK WITH YOUR CAPTAIN!" - One of them shouted and his request was fulfilled when he saw Tails walking among the droids carrying his halberd ...
"I'm here"
"Release us now!" - demanded one of the two intruders
"You come here, you attack and infiltrate my ship, you infect my crew, and now you are trying to give orders? You are not the first idiots to attack my ship. Now why did you come here? "
"And what makes you think we're going to tell you?"
"If you do not tell me ..." - then Tails used his powers to suspend him in the air and be face to mask - "I'll make you talk one way or another" - he said in a creepy way as he "caressed" the mask with the halberd - "How many of you are total?"
The other intruder observed this and believing that he would do something horrible to his partner ...
"Enough, We're twelve, We're twelve!"
"What?"
"Shut up!"
"Our leaders managed to escape before you caught us"
"That's useful, but it was not what I asked you. What do you want here? "- Tails asked the other intruder but before he spoke, he got a headbutt from his partner leaving him unconscious ...
"Sorry but I can not let you ruin things more than they already are"
"Since they do not want to cooperate, we'll have to do this the hard way." - Then Tails approached the intruder and made his eyes shine as the intruder began to scream and squirm ...
Meanwhile one of the leaders ran through the corridors of the ship trying to evade the droids as the tracking compound made it visible under the black light, and now that light covered almost all sections of the WL ...
"A blind spot, here I will be safe ..." - but at that moment she received a call ...
"Skady, what is your situation?"
"Very bad Linok, I'm hiding in a corner because my bio modulating field was damaged and all these robots are looking for me since my second attempt of infection failed," - Skady Said
"I wondered why all the robots were acting like lunatics"
"And where are you Linok?"
"Hidden in what appears to be a greenhouse, it seems to be the only place they have not come to review"
"If they are as suspicious as I think, it will not take long to search there. Move and beware "- At that time only shots were heard and one of them hit her generator device deactivating the bio modulating field and discovering her ...
"We found it!"
"I have to go!" - And without any choice Skady had to run, but now everyone could see her
7G Sector:
The intruder had already been subjugated and was lying unconscious on the ground ...
"What did you find out Master?"
"They have been jumping from ship to ship, attacking their crew and infecting them with the pathogen, seeing their results, seeing if they can survive. So far no one has succeeded ... But I could not figure out why they do this! "- Said Tails very annoyed and confused at that moment is contacted by one of the sentinel droids ...
"Master we found an intruder and we are hunting it at this moment"
"Excellent, do not let it get away. Bring it to the 7G sector once it is captured, if these pawns have nothing of what I need in their heads, surely their leaders do "
White lighting. Greenhouse:
"Skady respond , SKADY!" - But there was no answer - "Skady, please respond"
At that moment the droids that guarded the greenhouse moved out of their positions causing Linok to follow them
"One of the intruders was located we have to go immediately to the sector 4F"
"No." It was all he could think of as he stood still as he watched the droids walk away ...
And meanwhile in the 4F sector :
Skady had been cornered and could barely defend herself from the ruthless ambush of the droids, evading the shots, hitting them with her own hands, but in the end they were too many for her and she was knocked out of a discharge ...
"Master the mission has been a success, we capture the intruder and it seems that it is a female" - Said one of the droids by the communicator ...
7G Sector:
"Excellent, custody and bring it here" - Tails then connected his communicator to the ship's audio system ... - "LINOK !, That's right I know your name and your partner's name, which by the way was already captured by my droids and unless you want to see them all in one piece it will be better for you to be present around of the place where your colleagues are, otherwise I will leave them all inside a capsule adrift in space "
"Master does not think seriously do that, does you?" - one of the droids asked
"Calm down, she's being transported here. He must believe that we already have her here and I do this because the time is is running out for Fenrir and Isis "
At that time Tails is contacted by R.A.M.P ...
"Master I have good and bad news: The good news is that I found a way to counteract the pathogen and reverse the damage caused by it"
"What are the bad news?"
"That I need a genetic sample of what I suppose is the host organism to synthesize an antidote"
Meanwhile on the bridge:
"Being here is boring"
"We must stay here to avoid another encounter like ..." But before Cosmo could say anything else, she felt a stream of emotions: Anguish, Fear, Guilt, Desperation, Hope ... Cosmo was called by those emotions so she left to see and saw that the droids were carrying someone ...
"Droids stop!"
"Mistress we have orders to transport this prisoner"
"OBEY!" - And so they stopped leaving the intruder on the ground ...
7G Sector:
"HEY FURRYTAILS!" - Shouted Linok as he approached the surrounding area, watching Tails and a legion of droids who were about to attack him when ...
"STOP! Do not shoot him ... not yet. I am happy to finally see the person responsible for all this madness. Why don´t you take off the mask to battle face-to-face? "
"I want you release Skady and the others"
"You're not in a position to make demands so let's make a deal" - Said Tails catching Linok's attention
"I hear you"
"Face me in a one vs one match, if you win I'll let you and your teammates go"
"What if I lose?"
"You will have to tell me what you did to my friends and how to reverse it, you will also receive a severe reprimand for messing with MY CREW"
"As you wish" - Then Linok pounced upon Tails who dodged him quickly
The fight was almost even, the fighting skills of linok were very similar Tails´. It was not necessary to use his powers or hiss magic but Linok was using his bio modulating field to hide between each blow and to be able to damage Tails with his own weapons ...
At the laboratory:
"Sir, we managed to find a way to override the intruder's bio-shock field" - A droid told R.A.M.P
"Perfect, emit a pulse of energy with frequency to the whole 7G sector and its surroundings. Let's give a hand to the Master"- And so the wave of energy flooded the sector , removing Linok´s bio modulating field
Returning with Tails:
Without his field to hide Tails charged against Linok with a series of blows in the chest and in the belly leaving him defenseless ...
"I think this is the end" - And just before Tails dealt the final blow ...
"Tails stop!"
"Linok!"
They were Cosmo and Skady next to the droids that arrived from the other side of the corridor, Skady was without her mask, she had the deformed face but it looked like a canine species ...
"Cosmo? What are they doing? And why isn´t she tied? "
"I'm sorry Tails but I ordered the droids to let her go, there's something you should know" - Tails could not believe what was happening, Linok took off his mask while Skady helped him to stand up. Once they had done that they were taken with the other members of their crew and there Skady began to tell their story ...
"Our species has lived for many centuries apart from the rest of the galaxy, we have lived quietly without disturbing others but according to history a couple of centuries ago a horrible disease attacked our people. We never knew where it came from but quickly infected our population and eventually became somewhat chronic even our children were born with the disease. In our search for a cure we made great medical advances, but none that could help us with this ... plague "- Narrated Skady
"What were you trying by attacking us?" - Tails asked inquiringly and Linok continued where Skady had left the story ...
"Our mission in recent years was to collect clean genetic material. We discovered that by grafting new DNA into our bodies we could partially restore them but the effects were temporary. A few months ago the council decided that we should take another course of action and began attacking ships and infecting members of their crews with the pathogen with the hope of that some of them would develop antibodies that we could replicate ... but we have only obtained negative results "
"Why did not you ask for our help?" - Asked Cosmo
"YOU SEE?! I told you we should ask!"
"Shut up, if you were in our position, you would have done the same. All this was for helping our people "
"Linok Where do you get the pathogen to infect your targets?" - Tails Asked
"We extract it from our own bodies"
"If that's true I think I have an idea that would benefit us both." - Tails comment aroused curiosity in Linok and the others
And so it was as Linok and Skady gave the final component to cure Fenrir and Isis, after a blood sample R.A.M.P managed to synthesize the compound that would save them ...
7G Sector:
"My droids inform me that the cure was successful and the pathogen is disappearing from the bodies of my crew. And you will be able to keep a copy of the machine that was used to synthesize the antigen "- Said Tails
"Will you give us this freely?"
"No Skady, I already took your technology camouflage and you can go with only one condition"
"What would that be?" - Asked Linok
"If I ever find out again that you are assaulting ships or continue harvesting DNA ... I will chase you until I find you and I will not have mercy From any of you! Is that clear? "- Tails warned them in a threatening way, Linok and the others just nodded, And so his ship was separated from the WL and while the hole in the hull was sealed they left ...
"I hope I do not have to encounter more visitors like them in a long time" - declared the fox as Coeruli peered out at the place
"Did I miss something?"
"No , nothing"- And so the White Lightning took a new course, but behind the ship was a small device that emitted a tracking signal ...
