Shauni sat on the edge of a bench on one side of a Galactic Federation drop ship cargo bay. She looked around at each of the other troops. She looked at there guns. There really not going to shoot him right?
The commanding officer stood at the end of the room and looked at each of the soldiers and spoke. "Today soldiers we will be performing a simple task compared to your earlier missions. We will be searching this sector for a potentially armed fugitive. He has been on the run for the past 20 years and has finally come out of hiding. Your orders are to capture him and take him alive if possible. That is IF we find him." Shauni felt the ship begin to slow down and rotate. "You will be led by experiment 628. she is a creature specifically designed to search space debris you will not end your search until she is satisfied with your performance. Is that clear?"
All of the soldiers yelled out in unison "Yes ma'am!"
A large red light lit up near the hatch and a speaker next to it let out a loud buzzing sound as it flickered on and off. Each of the reptilian soldiers placed there helmet on and switched the safeties off on there weapon. Shauni reached over next to her and placed her helmet on tucking her ears in behind her head. The red light turned off and then a green one next to it light up. As the loading hatch opened up it let in the powerful vacuum of space, quickly tugging on any free hanging cable or strap in the cargo bay.
Shauni looked out at the chunks or rubble light up by distant stars and the sun of the solar system. For a moment her hopes of finding Kyle dropped as she saw how much of the lab had actually been destroyed then a speaker crackled in her ear. "Awaiting your orders experiment 628"
Shauni jerked her head. Oh right. Where would Kyle hide? Where would I hide? "Uh... start with the pieces of rubble with the most... amount... of... stuff. The bigger pieces!"
There was another crackle in her ear. "Yes ma'am." a squad of soldiers took a running jump off the loading ramp and drifted towards a larger piece of debris.
Shauni looked over at the other soldiers. "Well... go on... one group per chunk of junk..." The soldiers looked at each other and shrugged as they ran off the loading ramp and drifted in different directions. Shauni looked off at what was left of the lab. A huge hole had been blown into the base of the lab. Its outer shell and various other pieces of machinery were scattered about around the main structure. Shauni ran towards the edge of the ramp and closed her eyes as she slowly drifted towards the main structure. Kyle would want to be on the LARGEST chunk. And that's the lab.
Shauni drifted past the few groups of soldiers searching the debris. But the lab didn't seem to get any closer. Another crackle came out of the speaker inside her helmet. "Experiment 628, this is the quartermaster. Your suit is equipped with a rocket booster system. On your right handed wrist there is a button." Shauni looked down at her wrist. There was a small red button. "This button operates the small boosters on the feet of your suit. By aiming your feet in the opposite direction and creating a small burst you can send your self over great distances." Shauni leaned towards the destroyed lab and winced as she gently pressed the button on her wrist and was sent hurtling towards the lab. Shauni released the button and looked ahead. She was rapidly getting closer and closer to the lab. Shauni smiled at the thought of finding Kamikaze before the rest of the search team. She continued to drift towards the lab. Her smile disappeared as she noticed that she wasn't slowing down any. Shauni franticly pushed the button on her wrist trying to avoid hitting the side of the lab. She began to not drift but rocket around the crater in the side of the lab and hit one of the protruding girders. A hissing sound echoed in her helmet as an alarm went off. A small red warning sign blinked in front of her visor. "Suit pressure dropping" Shauni franticly looked around her suit. Her arm had a small tear in it. She grabbed the tear trying to seal it off but it was no use. She became tired and her vision slowly dimmed. She looked out of the crater towards the stars as a dark figure headed towards her and grabbed her.
Shauni slowly woke up in a small dimly lit room. She felt a tug on her suit and a slight warming sensation. She rolled her head over to see something in a small dark flame charred suit. It had a small torch in one hand and a roll of wire in the other. Shauni jerked her arm and body away from the figure. It shrugged and walked over to an air lock placing its hand on a console. The air lock opened with a hiss.
It reached up to its helmet and flicked a switch. A mounted speaker on the helmet let out a buzz and then a voice emitted from it. "You'll wanna get your helmet back on... there's only enough power left to provide four minutes of oxygen..." it turned towards the airlock and stepped in. "you'll also wanna tell them I'm dead." The airlock's door quickly shut and the figure lazily saluted her through a small window.
Shauni's eyes widened as she remembered the last time she had seen Kyle. He was hanging onto the frame work of the fusion reactor. He lazily saluted her. "Kyle!" She ran towards the airlock and placed her paw on the console next to the door but it only buzzed as the other side of eh airlock opened and sucked him into outer space. Shauni fell to her knees. And closed her eyes. He is alive!
Shauni got up and looked around the room. There was the bed she was laying on made out of a piece of foam and a stack of computer consoles with wires coming in and out of them. On one of the console was Shauni's helmet. She walked over and picked it up finding a console with a pulsating image on it. It's said "play" in Turian. She touched it and it disappeared. The computers all hummed and a small video screen turned on.
There was Kyle sitting in front of the console and there was Shauni lying on the foam bed. Kyle turned over toward Shauni and then looked back at the camera. "They cant know I'm alive Shauni. There looking for me because they think I'm an experiment with one purpose... to kill. There wrong... I'm a PROJECT with one purpose... to kill." Kyle's image became smaller and occupied a corner of the screen. The rest of the screen was filled with videos of a small creature running through the streets causing mayhem. As the camera zoomed in on the creature it turned around to face the camera and produced an evil grin. It was Kyle. He ran off into the distance picking up signposts and maiming or killing anything that got in its way. It finally picked up a rock throwing it in the air and kicking it as it descended sending it strait for the camera. The video became fuzzy and cackle. Kyle's image grew to fill the whole screen again. Kyle looked down at the console and began to read something" according to Hamsterviel's files I'm a 'natural born killer'. I am capable of fabricating makeshift weapons and using them with deadly precision as well as a couple other skills..." he looked up at the screen as it slit down the middle and another file appeared. It showed a three dimensional image of Shauni rotating on an axis. "It also has a file on you." he looked back at Shauni. "Your purpose is kinda degrading... least I think so... your ONLY purpose... is to weed out the imperfection in my genetic code in the event I'm a failure according to my design." he looked down at the console. "You're supposed to breed with me... your genetic code plus mine equals some nasty critter... I finally figured out why you're always trying to get close to me. It's because it's your instinct." his eyes narrowed as if he was thinking hard about something. "You need to stay away from me Shauni... I don't want another evil critter running around... there are other projects..." the three dimensional image of Shauni was replaced by another three dimensional image and quickly changed to other images. Kyle's image expanded to take up the whole screen again. "after you finish this video there's a line of cod in it that will delete ever trace of evidence in this lab that me, you and the other projects ever existed... the galactic federation will only be looking for me." the video shut off and then a status bar appeared on the screen it slowly filled up and displayed a percentage as well as the word "deleting" below it.
