Emily was looking at Aira-ty who was kneeling next to the droid getting a good look at him. Emily decided she would to. She walked around the droid getting a good look at him. It looked like he was shot by a blaster at some point in time, and was slashed at by one of the creatures, he was also covered in dirt, and blood. Aira-ty chuckled. "He has been shot by a blaster at least four times, got slashed by the creatures at least two or three times, and was hit by something big and heavy, he also has a lot of components as well. How is this possible?" She looked at Emily. "I've seen R2 and R3 unites get torn apart by these creatures, but this little guy, not only survived them, he fought back, how is this droid still functional?"
Emily chuckled. "Like i told you he is an engineering variant. He was designed with the idea that he was going to get hit, by large objects going at a fast speed, they also figured he will be crushed, and be going into hot temperatures. Hell, i've seen an M2e unite be right next to an Explosion, and be perfectly fine, i mean his lenses were cracked and he was knocked over, but other than that he was fine. I've also seen security units use modified M2e as security droids. These droids are very good. And by the look of it, he is an M2e2 unit so his armor is very superb to the R2 units, and the other M2 units. I guess the reason he is what he is helped him stay out of the droid scrap yards. We are lucky to have him, He should also have a bolter on him, so we could modify it so it could shoot harder and faster.
When they got sucked out, they were almost immediately attacked by a series of slasher, they managed to fight there way through them, but they were still being chased by them as they made their way to the elevator. One of the main reason they had to retreat was at least four of them were covered in torn up, and bloodied Storm Trooper armor, and were very hard to kill. When they got in site of the elevator an some thing exploded sending them all into space. they managed to seal their helmets in time and got onto the hull. Emily looked at Aira-ty. "I hate space walks" they looked back as the slashers that were in the hallway were now being sucked out into space. They than continued on till they found an airlock.
Aira-ty went over to it and pressed the button, but the door wouldn't open. Aira-ty backed away from it in frustration. "It's locked due to a quarintein. But little M2 can unlock it." M2 using his booster moved over to the little plug in, and plugged into it. After a few short seconds and the door was open, and a slasher come out, but dude to the air being sucked out it was sucked out and away before it could do anything. Emily just watched as it floated away swinging it's arms around. When they entered the airlock Emily unsealed her helmet, as did Air-ty. She looked around the air-lock but there wasn't anything of interest so they continued on their way.
As they opened the inner air lock door they entered a gore filled hallway. The amount of dead people, and the gore made her trip to the com station look like a vacation. "What were they all doing here?" She tried her best to walked over them but to no prevail. M2 was having a bad time, so he went to using his thrusters, as they walked on they came by a droid maintenance place. Emily smiled and walked over to it. "This tells me were in the Droid shop. Come here M2 I'll give you a little modification that'll help you here." It took a few minutes but she modified the attachments on M2 so a small plow that was meant to be put onto M3's could fit on him. She also modified his bolter.
She looked down at the droid as it plowed it's way through the bodies. She looked at Aira-ty, "Why were there so many people here? What could be here that would make them all come here?" she looked around."
Aira-ty than said. "The colony had a Space capable military Gun ship that was used to transport security personak around, and to help with security, well it docked at the air dock that we just came through, so people came here to get off the ship, what they thought was help was another form of death, the Security troopers locked down all escape routs around here, they evan put 6 inch thick metal plates over the vents saying 'it was to keep the monsters out' that was only half true. After all that was done they open fired on them killing them all. Me and my team tried to get in here, but with no luck. I just wonder how we'll get out."
Emily nodded. "That explains why all these dead folks aren't trying to kill us. The creatures can't get in here to infect them... but if we find a way out, they'll have a way in. That means they'll be able to infect all these bodies. That would be... one two three... to many more slasher, there has to be at least a hundred bodies in here. We should go find another air-lock, than we wouldn't have to worry about more of them."
Aira-ty was nodding. "We could Do that, buuut... the other airlock we would use is about a 3 hour space walk, and neither of us have that amount of air. So it's here, or we'll die."
Emily rolled her eyes. "M2 has thruster he can carry us to the other air lock in no time."
Aira-ty walked over to M2, she looked him over. "He doesn't have enough fuel."
Emily walked over to her. "What tells you that?"
She pointed at a little putrid of liquid. "Cause his fuel tank is busted."
Emily glared at her. "We're at the Droid maintenance. I can fix it."
Aira-ty sighed, "Yeah that would be all dandy. You know how to replace fuel tanks on an M2 series?"
Emily walked over to the bench and picked up a tool. Yes in fact I do. I happen to be an engineer mind you." It took her about 5 minutes to get his fuel tank replaced. There now we can use him to get us-... were's the fuel charger?
Aira-ty chuckled. "This is Droid maintenance not fuel recharging station.
Emily grumbled and they headed down the gore infested hallway until they came into a snag. It seemed that the people wielded the door shut. Emily walked over to a dead security trooper, and took a grenade off his belt. She than threw it and ran for cover. The other did to and than it exploded. She saw that she made giant hole in the door, they went over to it, and helped M2 threw it, but it seemed like they also shut the bast door as well, but lucky they only used security codes to remotely locked it, and didn't wield it. "Go on M2 go to town." He went over to the door, and plugged into a socket. After a few seconds he made some beeps.
Emily sighed and shook her head Aira-ty looked at her. "What is It what's wrong?"
Emily walked over to the door "M2 doesn't have the codes needed to open the door, we need to find one of the security guys to get the codes."
Aira-ty glared at her. "Do you forget I'm the security chief, I know all secirty codes. M2 plug in 443276charlie678 if that doesn't work, plug in 44328Aldrean."
M2 made another beep and did as told, he than opened it, and guess what was there, not one, but two of the giant creatures Emily named Brutes. M2 than closed it before it noticed. Emily turned to Aira-ty. "Well we're not going through there" as Emily, and M2 moved to go find another way out, Emily noticed Air-ty didn't move. "Ummm you may be all big and bad, but starring the door down won't change anything."
Aira-ty than turned around to face Emily. "Emily I know you can use the force, I used to be a Jedi in training, I can sense the force in you, And by the way you professionally hide it tells me you never left the order."
Emily felt a jolt go up her spine. "Ummmm..."
Aira-ty took her helmet off and glared at her. "Don't tell me no bull shit I know you were a Jedi, and why you. Aren't rejoining the order over in the New Republic is beyond me. But if the markers are controlling these things, it has to be threw radio waves, so we may be able to disrupt that control, and kill the creatures but I need your help."
Emily sighed. "Fine. M2 go open the door," she looked at Aira-ty, "focus on the same one as me ok?" Aira-ty nodded. The door opened and this time the Brutes noticed, they came in slowly and M2 ran for dear life. Emily and Aira-ty held out there hands and with all there might commanded the force to separate the control link. They backed up every so often, but Emily got impatient, and used the force not to separate control, but to take control of the creature. It took a few seconds, but when she got control he eyes snapped open.
Aira-ty was looking at her hand. "I lost connection with the beast. What's going on?"
Emily closed her eyes. "Don't worry. I got this." She than commanded the creature to attack the other one, she had it rip it to bits, it first grabbed it's head and ripped it off, than grabbing one of the arms and ripping it off, and used it has a club to beet the other Brute with, one by one she had it rip the limbs off the other brute, and the other Brute didn't even try to stop it. When it was dead she let Aira-ty kill it. When it was dead, she released control. Aira-ty looked back at her. "How the hell did you do that, you should do that more oft-"
Emily felt a familiar light headiness and fainted. When she came to Aira-ty was over her, she seemed to have moved her to a wall. She looked at Aira-ty who backed off when she saw she was awake. "How long was I out?"
Aira-ty went and helped her up. "Not long, about a minute or so." She looked at Emily "You ok? I mean that was cool what you did, but when you fainted... It looked like it hurt."
Emily nodded. "Yeah it did, and it gave me a bad headache. I hate doing that. And to answer your question how I did that, the markers use some sort of brain control to control the creatures, so that means I can use the force in a way to control them. I can also do it to others to, but never do for I faint, and leaves my head throbbing."
Aira-ty nodded. "Let's go beofore more come and turn all of them into more." Emily nodded and they hurried to an elevator, and use it to get to the tram. When they were on the tram she went and sat on a seat. Aira-ty sat next to her. "How old were you when the Jedi order was taken down in order 66?"
Emily looked at her. "I have no idea, But I was still a padawan, but in a latter stage of training, i was soon to become a knight, but the clones came. I first tried to reason with the., for some I fought with, but to no hope, I had to kill the men I trusted. It hurt me, but I thought we could repel them, but than came the Clone assassins. I have never see them before than but I could tell they were made purely to fight Jedi. I tried to fight them, and i did well, but I retreated deeper into the temple, that's were I found Ani-... Darth Vader, standing over a small pile of dead younglings. I yelled at him saying that he will regret what has done. Than engaged him, my master came to my aid and told me to run, to get out of the temple, but I wouldn't listen, Vader badly injured him so I took him away, I used the force to destroy a bridge so Vader and his troopers couldn't follow. My master told me not die, for old times, than he died, I than did something we were never suppose to do... I let my anger control me, but I never felt more alive. I rushed out and killed all before me, and when I had a pile of 32 trooper under my boot, I couldn't help but laugh, I wanted to fight Vader, make him pay, turn the Dark side, but the memory of my master turned me away. So I ran away, went and hid with my parents, and than joined the Imperial Engineering corp, for I thought the best way to hide from the Empire was within it. And here I am now..."
Aira-ty nodded, "I worked with a couple of Clone assassins in some missions after the Purge."
When the tram stopped, and the door opened there stood Ghost, and Dem. They smiled when they saw Emily, but when Ghost saw Aira-ty he than looked surprised, and came to attention, than solutes and said "Hello Commander Aira-ty."
Aira-ty smiled. "Hello Captain, long time, I expected you to be dead by know."
Ghost smiled. "No i found a formula that made my ageing normal for a Human. It's just me and Richard now. We're all that is left."
Aira-ty gestured for us to keep moving. "How are you Doc?"
Ghost chuckled. "Doc? Man I haven't been called that for years, I'm called Ghost now. And to answer the question I know you're going to ask, I was called that when the recruiter for the position I'm in now said he didn't hear me coming up, and said I was like a ghost. And the name stick."
Emily looked at Ghost. "Why did they call you Doc? Were you their medic?"
Ghost chuckled "Yes I was. Aira-ty always said I was the best she had."
Aira-ty chuckled. "Still an assassin or did you becoming a pilot stop all that?"
Emily than spoke before Ghost could answer. "You were an assassin? I mean I had my theories, but I wouldn't think it was true. what was your first mission?"
Ghost sighed. "The same as the rest... Operation Night Fall, the night when the 501st attacked the Jedi temple, Me and some others were there... I was told the jedi were tough I found that out, but they never said anything, about being pure freaky. This one was standing on a pile of dead troopers, the tbing that made me leave before she could see me was she was luaghing.. insane like, it creeped the hell out of me. Come one we should get to the bridge, the other's will be waiting."
Aira-ty was looking at Emily, and Emily was feeling dumn founded. She than said "Please don't tell him Aira-ty ok?" She nodded, and the continued there way onto the bridge.
