Chapter 1: Opening the Box

(Roman sneaks into the museum on Sentinel III and enters the "Pandora's Box" exhibit of the museum. He then takes the key out of his jacket inserts it into a keyhole and the marking of a left hand appears, Roman sticks his left hand onto the marking. A sharp rod stabs his hand and he lets out a painful grunt. The box opens and the mythological beasts are released into the universe, Roman's left hand is freed and he has the Signet forged onto his left arm)

Melfina: (through earpiece) Roman, what's going on down there? We need to regroup and hurry.

Roman: (responding) don't get your panties in a bunch, I'm on my way.

(Roman exits the exhibit and makes a break for the security exit, unfortunately, it's blocked but Roman had a lucky break, another door had no debris in front of it and Roman used his hotwiring skills to override the doors access code

Jim Hawking: (into earpiece) Hey Roman, we're surrounded by a lot of these creatures here…

Roman: (responding) they're beast of Greek mythology, somehow when the box opened; the box released all the beasts inside.

Jim: (into earpiece) where's Melfina? I thought she was supposed to be with you.

Roman: (responding) she's at a safe place, 800 clicks from my position. (Walks out the front door and sees a giant golem) (To himself) Oh snap! Is that a golem?

(The golem is made up of huge rubble vehicles and all held together by animus energy)

Gene: (into earpiece) hey Roman, what's your current position?

Roman: (responding) I'm at the northwest exit of the museum, and we have a big problem there's a golem that's destroying most of downtown.

Gene: (into earpiece) Listen, Me, Suzuka and Aisha will be waiting for you about ten meters from your current position.

Roman: (responding) alright, I'll see you guys when I get there. Over and out

(Roman goes into the buildings and exits them to see the three in an adjacent building)

Aisha: What took you so long?

Roman: And who the hell are you, my fucking mother or something?

Aisha: Grrr, Why you little… (About to strike Roman)

Suzuka: (stepping in front of the two) the two of you enough, we've got more important things to take care of.

Roman: Exactly, like how to get to Melfina and Jim.

Gene: Hey Jim, you there?

Jim: (Into earpiece) yeah I'm still alive Gene, Is Roman there?

Roman: (Responding) I'm here with Gene, Aisha and Suzuka. Where Melfina?

Jim: She's here with me on the Outlaw Star. Do you think that you and the others can make it to the Spaceport?

Roman: How far is it?

Jim: (Into earpiece) it's about 847 kilometers southeast from your current position.

Roman: Okay 847 click southeast of our current position

(125 clicks in, Black Order solders appear and jump off an aircraft)

Black Order Commander: Spread out! Find Roman Rideout and kill him!

Roman: (Pulling out his katana) great, just what I need. A swift kick in the ass from the Black Order.

Suzuka: Let me and Aisha handle them for you. Let's go Aisha!

Aisha: Right!

(The two women use their abilities to kill the Black Order Solders; one of them snuck up on Roman and shot him in his left butt cheek)

Roman: Aw, shit I got shot in the ass!

(Roman retaliates with a shot to the head of the Black Order Solder)

Gene: Are you all right Roman?

Roman: I won't be sitting for a while because of a bullet to the ass.

Aisha: I suggest that you shouldn't move for this.

Roman Ow, ow, ow, ow, oooow! OW! That hurts!

Aisha: all done. (Flings bullet)
