Systems on-line. Processing... All systems nominal.
"Humans... what reason do they have to imprison me? I was mauled by one of them, and yet Landri still makes me fight? They deserve to die over and over not me. I... I must escape." Thinks Xan Mk II. The guards do not pay enough attention to Xan, for if they were looking they would have noticed that Xan was awake and Xan would never have broken free.
Xan Mk II slams his body into the door, as it hits the floor a loud cracking sound is heard as the door crushes the guards. Xan Mk II is in a long hallway. The walls are made of steel. Several men roam the halls. They are now running franticly for the exits. Xan Mk II deploys the chainsaws that were installed in his arms. "Run humans!" Yells Xan's metallic voice.
No one survived Xan Mk II's onslaught. His chainsaws tore through the flesh of everyone in the medical facility. The walls were spotted with blood. Xan Mk II ran thru the halls and trashed every piece of equipment after he had killed all the building's inhabitants.
Later, the building in ruins, Xan escaped the city and ran to the spaceport. He flew off in his ship, the Hyperblast, destroying the port before he went.
Chapter 1b: The Escape: Enter Skaarj 12/11/2242 1815 hours (6:15 PM)
In a research facility in old LA a group of scientists gathered all the Skaarj hybrids made by the NEG. The research facility was called the Skaarj Behavior Observation & Containment Facility (SBOCF). They held 8 Skaarj hybrids: Fire wall, Disconnect, Guardian, Pharaoh, Beatal, Skrilax, Berserker, and Dominator.
At the SBOCF the researchers were worried the cybernetic implants may have somehow caused Xan Mk II's rampage. They decided to move Disconnect and Firewall to stronger cells with better reinforcements. The one thing they didn't know was the one bit of information that would have prevented Xan Mk II from escaping: sedatives don't work on cyborgs with implants in their heads. The implant prevents them from involuntarily passing out. They have to want to sleep and deactivate the mechanism in order to sleep. The sedatives would only work for a minute or so.
The researchers attempted to move Disconnect first. He woke up as the security team was taking him to his new cell. He smashed his fist into one guard and the resulting impact ripped the human apart. Disconnect tore the head off the other man, then clapped his hands on the guard's head crushing it instantly. Disconnect stole the men's hand held mini guns and put one on each arm. He was able to support them easily with his strong arms. He ran back to the cells where the other Skaarj were being held, killing every human he saw. He located the main control room and opened all the cell doors, freeing all 7 other Skaarj and stealing One of Liandri's only two respawning devices that was move to the SBOCF in case of an accident . They stole the emergency escape vessels and left the SBOCF in ruins.
