Hope joyousness, relief; these were some of the emotions that Kima was feeling when she the trash compacting room on the SS Destroyer with its hatch open. She had a plan - and if only she could make it inside. A surge of Adrenaline suddenly coursed through her and she managed a quick burst of speed that landed her in the compactor room. Desperately, she hobbled to the exit hatch, which was also open and had just made it through to the outside when her pursuers burst through the entrance. Seeing that she was gasping on the floor, the 7 soldiers slowed down, predatory grins on their faces. "It sure took us long enough to catch you, Ms. Li," the one in the lead sneered. "I'm going to enjoy killing you." Then one of his compatriots whispered in his ear. An even more sinister smile blossomed on his scarred face as he looked down at Kima. "My friend has a good point," Leader said. "We want you alive for interrogation. His eyes seemed to light up on that last word. The entire group laughed, a sound that chilled Kima to the bone. "Too bad, morons," she said defiantly, even as the wound on her side began to bleed freely, "but I don't think you'll leave this ship alive." "What?" "You heard me, stupid. You see, you and the rest of the Idiot Squad are dirty, filthy lowlife mercenaries and people like that tend to be so obsessed with their bounty that they don't even know they've walked into a trap." With that, Kima pushed the 'activate' button, sealing the entrance and exit and sealing Kima off from her attackers. When the hatches were closed, they were virtually soundproof so she couldn't hear what the mercenaries were saying, which was just as well, she thought. This wasn't going to be very pleasant. Then the whirring of the compacting motors filled the air as the walls inside the trash compactor began to move towards each other. Kima heard faint 'pings as the soldiers tried to blast their way out, but to no avail. She regretted having been forced to kill her pursuers, she really did but when she thought of what they'd have done to her.ultimately, she'd had no choice. Forcing her thoughts back, Kima determined to focus on the matter at hand. She needed to get off of the ship. The sooner the better.
