Hi!People please review or I'll freak out and start to sing and thats the first sign of the Apocalypse -.-

This chapter is about Blackfires escape,nothing more,nothing less.All standard disclaimers apply

The Escape

Blackfire was pleased.Ensis did a good job on deactivating the security systems.Otherwise,the sensors would scan her immediately and that would be it.But speed was crucial;the AI of the prison computer was highly developed and it will soon realize that something is wrong.

Blackfire tried to open the door to the upper level.Locked.Luckily she found a air lock and crawled through it all the way to the first level.It took her fifteen minutes,and when she finally stepped out of the dusty vent the alarm went off.It was a horrible sound that reminded her of howling zorgs during mating time.

She was lost for a moment,unsure what to do.A sudden wave of resignation flooded her heart.

''So what if I fail?And I probably will…the guards are coming…I hear their boots making stomp,stomp on the metal floor.Soon they'll catch me and then they will…kill me.Why should I live anyway?…''

She asked herself similar questions and was so preocupied with them that she didn't even notice that she was running like mad through hallways and doors.She has going to the roof.

Thanks to the fact that the prison was on a asteroid it was possible to jump from a 50 meters tall building,land and stay alive and unharmed.Gravity was too weak.Inside the prison it was artificialy magnifyed to a much greater value.

Blackfire heard voices behind her.The guards were catching up.The door infront of her locked.It seemed that the AI has recovered from the virus infection.She tried to knock it down but knew it was impossible.They were four meters wide and 50cm thick.

In a moment of inspiration she slammed the control panel and began to hotwire the system.

Yellow to blue,

detach the relay

connect the conductor…-

Her voice was calm and it sounded like she was chanting.The door opened and Blackfire squealed with joy.Suddenly a laser ray burned a hole through her shoulder and she screamed in pain but didn't stop running.She felt her blood dripping and the smell of her own burned flesh was something she will never forget.Fortune in misfortune,since her wound was immediately burned she didn't lose much blood.

Rooftop…-she said with a weak voice and ran towards the edge of the building.Laser rays missed her and while she was falling she could hear the guards cursing and in the moment when her feet touched the ground she saw them jumping down.

Blackfire ran towards the biggest 'mountain'.There should be a small space ship there.The rocks around her were exploding,melting under heavy fire of furious guards.She remembered the time when she went hunting with her father.Now,she knew how was it to be hunted.Her legs and lungs were hurting and she (again) sweared that cigarettes are history.She hid herself behind a huge cliff and threw a bigger stone to the opposite direction.She hoped the guards are stupid enough to follow the false lead.And they were.She smiled and once again started to run.

Ten minutes later she was on the agreed position.And there it was…her space ship.A old decaying Tamaranian vessel with a impulse engine.But it was her own ship and she wouldn't trade it for anything.

The prisons AI detected the vessel and sent hunters but it was too late.One flash and it was gone.

Blackfire inputed the coordinates of Ensis's home,swathed her wound with some gauze she found in the med pack and gave herself a injection of pain killers.With 'Maru' on autopilot,she smiled and went unconcious as a free person.

There it is.I hope you liked it.Please review and let me know!
