Meanwhile, on another ship a slight distance away, it takes Two about thirteen minutes to break out of her ultra-high security prison cell, kill half the crew on board, and find the place where they stored the Android. That Galactic Authority officer had caved embarrassingly easy. She barely had to torture him at all before he was babbling out the password to her, his words barely comprehensible over the sound of his own gargling blood. It was a pity, really; she could have used the stress release.
A savage, animalistic rage laid dormant underneath her skin, alert and hungry, but not yet attacking. Waiting. As much as she hated Six for his betrayal, she had to stay focused. Her crew came first; revenge would have to wait.
With the ones who surrendered shut away in the airlock-she was trying to start over, after all-she activated the Android. The lights behind her eyes switched on first and she sprang to life, her rigid, stone-like posture the only hint of her non-human status. She looks around, as curious as any machine could be. Her gaze lands on Two.
"Have you been injured?" she asks, taking in her blood-soaked appearance.
Two shakes her head. "No. Listen-we've been betrayed by Six. The rest of the crew is on the other ship. I need you to block all transitions to Hybrion. I don't want them knowing the ship's been taken. I'll need the element of surprise. Can you do that?"
"Yes." Two nods, and she's about to get into an escape pod to go get the rest of her team, when the Android speaks again. "Wait."
She stops. "What's wrong?"
"It appears someone is attempting to break onto the ship."
"What?!"
"The invader should be coming in five…four…three….two-"
The door burst open. She attacked.
"HANDS UP BITCHES, WE'RE-OH SHIT!"
Three gave a yelp of surprise when she tackled him to the ground. A few feet behind, One stood, griping a handgun. "You! What are you doing here?!"
"Rescuing you." The mercenary wheezed out, his face contorting in pain. Two steps off of him.
"And you thought you could just break in here and take down the entire police force with two people? You morons would've gotten yourselves killed." She rolls her eyes. "Where's the others?"
"Four is a bit distracted at the moment, so Pretty Boy and I decided to come get you." She looks up at One, who is avoiding her gaze. He must be still be upset about the whole thinking-he-was-the-traitor thing. Oh well. They'll deal with that later. Right now, however…
"You mean to tell me you left Five alone in a maximum security prison?!" She looks ready to kill again. The men exchange a look and they knew they were in trouble.
"The kid's fine!" Three insisted, cowering in fear. "She's with Stabby McStaberson, no one's gonna touch her!"
Two relaxed a bit. She would never trust the young girl with the two idiots, but Four was at least responsible. He would watch out for her.
"Yeah," One spoke up. "If anyone should be scared right now, it's Six. Just wait until Four gets a hold of him."
And despite the situation, Two found herself smirking. Just wait, indeed.
