Momentum chapter 2
Not so nice
I slowly gained conciseness, my head pounding. I tried to bring my arms up to hold my head but found that they were firmly bound to a pole behind me. There was also the uncomfortable feeling of dried blood on my forehead.
"So much for the hospitality" I thought
"So your awake…" a voice purred from somewhere in the shadows of the tent.
"Who's there?" I called out a slight bit of fear tinged my voice.
In response a cheetah wearing a black cloak stepped out from the shadows, his eyes a deep piercing red that sent shivers down my spine. The way he stared at me made me cringe, it was like I was a mouse.
"You see… playing the good guy is no fun, evil, now there's a game to play."
I just stared at him with the look one stares at a person who just lost their mind right in front of you maybe that was because he did, and the fact that he sound like a raving fucking lunatic.
The cheetah stopped his raving with frown; he just stared off into space before a few seconds later growing a large smile. Not the type of smile when you're happy, more like that really twisted smile that a daemon would have.
It only began to get worse; the cheetah pulled a wicked looking knife from behind him. The knife blade was intercity designed with red markings that looked like bloody vanes on the sides of the knife.
The cheetah knelt down in front of me and grabbed the top of my helmet, holding my head steady as to speak to me one last time.
"My master has no room for problems in his plans and you my friend are a problem."
Before I could even blink the cheetah plunged the knife into my chest, the pain was so intense that my scream lost voice. My eyes wide and mouth drawn open but no voice just gasping. My vision darkened, the cheetah pulled the knife from my chest only to plunge it in a second time. This time my scream had voice the pain coursed through my body. The armored vest did nothing to stop or even slow the blade as the cheetah plunged it in for a third time leaving the knife in my chest embedded to the hilt.
Pain and the cheetah barking a command to a group I couldn't see was all I could remember before blacking out.
"Dump the body in a ditch; we can't waste time trying to hide it."
In orbit above the unknown planet V-195673 floated a ship. Her hull scared and pocked from a battle long, long ago, across the crystallized titanium hull was a name. 'Momentum' Inside, on the command deck lights began flicking on and ancient computers began rebooting. Words began scrolling across a computer attached to the front of a large chair

A large round console in the middle of the command deck flared to life, holographic particles began to swirl around almost like a tornado, rearranging into a holographic Human. The hologram looked like a world war II pilot, wearing a leather jacket and a leather pilot's helmet with goggles on top of the head.
"Looks like we're back online"
