Chapter 3: Overwhelmed
Samus: Command, I need a lock on the SA-P1's position. That thing can't get off the station.
Deven: I'm searching. I found it. It is in organism containment and.... That son of a...it's releasing the specimens. They will be all over the station and that will make it hard to evacuate.
Samus: Send some level 2 offensive robots up there. Set the lasers for stun and bring all of the specimens you can bring on the departure ships. We have 13 minutes, how many people are ready to evacuate?
Deven: 30% of all personnel. Some are having trouble with their data hard drives. They are insisting on bringing all there research with them. Tell them to only take research that they have backed up on their portable hard drives, those idiot humans. They are more worried about there research than their lives.
Samus: I am going to try to stop the SA-P1. Monitor it for me as long as you can. Ok Samus.
I never spent time down here in the reactor core so I pulled up my map to find the elevator. My map said it was to my right, up a flight of stairs. I ran as fast as I could because I knew we only had 12 minutes now. On my way up to the habitation deck my suite notified me of another problem. The reactor had started to leak gamma radiation.
Samus: Command we have a radiation leak in sectors 19 and 20. Seal them off. Ok Samus.
I could barley see through my cracked visor. My map was distorted and all I could see were spider webs.
Samus: Security, extract my data arrays from my quarters and my work station and download them to a portable hard drive. I will need the data to repair my suite later. I will have it done in 3 minutes Samus, nothing to worry about.
One more thing, I will need Plantagenet, my personal assistance robot.
Taken care of, now go get that robot!
I arrived on the habitation deck. There were animals everywhere.
Command, where are those level twos?!
They should be there right now.
To my right I saw ten grey robots each with 2 lasers mounted on moveable arms. The emitters shot out streams of blue at each one of the running animals. After they were all stunned the robots picked them up and took a maintenance elevator to the docking bay for evac.
I turned on my x-ray visor and looked to my right and left. I saw no robot.
Samus: Command where is that robot? But there was no answer.
That was when I heard a crash in the wall. The SA-P1 was breaking the wall into space. I ran for the elevator and managed to get the doors closed before the wall was breached.
Samus: Security, are you still there?
Yes we are.
I need a lock on the SA-P1.
It is outside of the station moving up towards the docking bay.
Samus: is everyone on the station ready to be evacuated?
Yes they are all in their ships ready to be deployed.
Launch them as soon as possible. You have 7 minutes to do so.
Ok.
I was nearing the docking bay. I was ready for that robot this time. It won't be able to take a step towards me.
I arrived at the docking bay to see the ships had taken off and was near safety from the blast.
There it was, entering one of the evac ships. I shot a super missile at its back. But before it hit the SA-P1 turned around and shot the missile with a plasma shot, blew up right in front of it. Mo damages what so ever.
I was about to shoot its power arteries with a normal charge beam. But as I was charging I noticed that the SA-P1 had a charged plasma shot ready for me. It shot right for the barrel of my arm cannon. A shot right inside the barrel.
Before my cannon over-loaded and gave off a big explosion right in my face I thought, "nice shot."
As I was thrown backwards from the explosion I saw the SA-P1 climb into the evac ship and I heard it take off.
After a moment or 2 I blacked out, knowing that I wasn't going to make it.
There were three minutes left before the station blows up.
I have never been so close escaping from somewhere and not able too.
I thought over and over to myself, I am gong to die and there is nothing I can do about it.
