A New Beginning [IC] Sci-Fi

[La_Reina]

The lights flickered and Love cursed as she went back to the team. "Their cutting the power. Night Gear on. You and You," she pointed to Com and Tech, "round up the hostages and put them over there. Do Not take your guns off of them. Fire any who twitch."

"Maam yes Maam."

"Gunner you're my 2nd defence."

"Maam yes Maam."

Love managed to put on her night vision just as the last of the power in the room delved them into darkness. She went out the door and straight across to the other side. Any coming down the hall would be shot and anyone who actually made it to the door would be shot in the back. This seemingly simple mission just went FUBAR real quick and she didn't like it.

Suddenly Love couldn't see. Shit! She pulled off her goggles. Stupid malfunctioning piece of shit. She shot and the spark from her gun gave her a little light to see two surprised faces. She shot again and saw someone go down before they returned fire. The firing continued for a bit before she stopped hearing a ... rolling sound. She fired, but didn't see anything, but the sound was getting closer. She had to reload.

"What the..." Gunner said.

"What is it," Love hissed as she quickly crossed the gap and towards the open doorway towards her team.

"Some sort of ball. OH SHIT!"

Sudden light and explosion knocked Love back across to the other side of the hall, through a wall, and into another. She felt something hard land on her and then black.

"That was my cousin."

"She was dead regardless. Now there all gone."

"Any survivors."

"None."

Love slowly opened her eyes to the voices. It sounded like someone was talking through a radio to another. She managed not to groan, but there was rubble all over her. The voice was getting further and further away.

"Gotta go Jills. Sirens."

Love managed to get free of the rubble. She stood and had to grab the wall to steady herself. Her head heart like hell. She placed her hand to the soft spot and groaned at the sting of pain. She looked at her fingers to see them sticky with her own blood. "Sonnabitch." Love staggered to the entrance just as UA ships landed.

"What happened here?"

Love stared at the stripes on the hologram and shook her head. She didn't have to answer to him. She was of higher rank. She got on one of the ships and demanded to be taken back to the main ship. She needed answers and she needed them now. Some one was going to pay for her losing another team.

Kris watched as Vivian scanned the card, he figured she must have been checking it to see if it was authentic or to make sure that the data card did not have any viruses. Kris was wondering to himself if he was next to be kidnapped. However, he had not seen anyone that looked suspicious that would be following him; maybe they were afraid what he would do if they failed.

Kris soon was brought back to reality when he heard her ask a question if he suffered from any side effects. He had to think about it he never really worried about it before but as he thought about it he only remember that he has no memory of his childhood.

“The only side effects that I remember is short term to long term memory lose to some of the test subjects. I can’t even remember what I did in the short war, but at times I will have nightmares of myself doing horrible things” Kris replied “ When I wasn’t on the drugs I can remember a few things but that’s it.” He added “ One of the major side effects is that for a few who took the drugs in time they will go insane” He added as he pulled out two vials with a blue liquid in them.

“ The UA Are still worries about me and the others going insane thus they gave us these” He replied as he put them away.

“the one I have is a milder version,” Kris said as he put them away “I don’t really need to take these but the UA government don’t want to risk it,” he added as he took a deep breath. “ But each side effect is different for each person.

“I would like to but you need to run it through the UA government first there still slightly upset when I knocked out one of their state department agents,” He added “ All because of the Rubicon Mission in BA (Buenos Aires)

Kris watched as she pulled out vial with a red tablet and quickly took it with out drink water.

“Are you alright” Kris? Asked her

Kris soon heard his badge com come on and a voice shouting on the other end of it. from the sound of it he heard that someone was trying to take off during the lock down. He quickly gave the order to bring it down, target the engines use a emp weapon but bring it down. To him if the ship was leaving then the suspects maybe on board.

“ You’re look like a nice kid” Aya replied as she looked at Jack “ But are you one of the types that want to get with a cute girl he sees. Or are you the ones who can waited till I’m ready” She asked as she gave a smile

The shots might not have been causing too much damage, but they were unnerving, nonetheless. Angus Bailey hated only three things in the universe: toy dogs, Monday morning and being shot at - the last one especially.

"Isn't that fucking thing ready yet!?," yelled the woman.

"Another second!," said Angus. She put her gun to his head.

"If you're screwing us around..."

"I'm not, I swear! It's... OK, it's ready."

"Then blast a hole through that door!"

Angus turned the ship to face the hangar door. That's when he saw it, right in front of him. The security guards had rolled out a large box with a modified "barrel" designed to target its waves to specific areas.

"Shit," muttered Angus.

"What is it?," asked the first man, looking out the cockpit window.

"It's an EMP weapon," said Angus. "They're gonna shut down the engine with an electromagnetic pulse. Those assholes, they'll destroy my electronics!"

"To hell with your electronics!," yelled the woman. "Get moving!"

"But-"

Angus was cut off as the woman forcefully pushed the thrusters to full acceleration. Angus screamed as the ship lurched forward, gaining speed all the while. In front of him, the guards were switching on the EMP weapon. Angus shut his eyes and gritted his teeth while guards leaped out of the way. There was a sickening sound of metal on metal as the ship crashed into the machine.

"The laser!," yelled the second man. "Fire the laser!"

Angus' eyes shot open as the hangar door loomed ever nearer. He pounded a button on the console and a shot of red energy shot out from underneath the ship. It hit the door directly, causing the metal to explode and melt. The Bouncing Betty continued moving forward, scraping against the sides of the hole as it shot out of the docking bay and blasted into the cold air outside.

Vivian smiled as she slipped the vial back into her pocket and swallowed. The tablets were not easy to swallow without water, but shit happens. Pressing the button on the elevator to open the doors she used the few seconds it gave them to explain.

"My side effects include headaches and migraines, my team knows all about them. Racing thoughts are ever constant in my mind, and when I get bored and don't think much they become even worse. Hence why at my age I have the military record of someone almost twice my age. It's predicted I won't live beyond fifty the way I am going, unless they find some way of reversing the governments work."

The doors opened, and she stepped out to catch the end of Aya's comments to Jake. Forever trying, but it showed he believed in the 'Never Give Up' attitude she constantly force fed her people.

"So, we are very much similar. You cannot remember the first half of your life yet you will live a long second half if you can help it, and I can remember the first half but will die on the verge of living the second half." Her tone showed she had grown used to this idea, mainly because surgery to remove the neural implant only have her a 10% survival ratio and only 3% of that allowed her to return to normal with no brain damage.

It was one hell of a price to pay.

Kris began to talk into his radio, it sounded as if something was happening in another sector of the city. "What's happened?" she questioned, giving him time to find out.

 

[knight713]

“ I’ve got a report that a ship is trying to leave during the lock down” Kris replied as he listen to what the voices on the other end trying to say. From what they were yelling about the ship just rammed the EMP Weapon. “ Who ever they are they just rammed the Emp device and cut a hole in the hanger door to escape.” Kris added as he let Vivian walk out.

As he walked out he saw Jack talking to Aya and from what he could see he was trying to get with her. If he knew Aya she wouldn’t straight out get with him, she would go out with him first and then when she was ready she would then sleep with him.

Kris listened to what Vivian was saying about herself and how she wouldn’t live past fifty, unless she found a way to reverse what the government did to her.

“ we’re running the registration on the ship, but from what I’ve been told it’s a transport ship, heavy hull, but it looks more like a junk heap” Kris replied as he told the voice on the other end to see if they had enough time to place a tracking device on it.

“ The ship maybe being used by those three, but I’m not sure if its their ship or one they hijacked” he added “ All that I’ve been told the ship landed during the lock down and disregard all orders to halt” Kris replied as he ran a hand through his hair. “ We should hurry up here and go after them, within the next 48 hours they may vanish completely off our radar.”

Vivian nodded, she agreed wholeheartedly with the recommendation. They would have to move fast and follow that ship, it's signature in space would give them a basic heading. The fact that it had just emitted a large burst of energy would give them some detection. But they would have to get lucky if they were to pin point it exactly. Clicking a button on her vest, she patched herself through to her ship, waiting in just out of orbit.

"Commander Knox to UAN Veracity, run a tracking scan on all vessels leaving the Caprocian system. When you find something, send it's heading through to Jack Slade, my tech specialist. We are going to follow them as soon as we get freed up here. Put a tail on them until we get there. I'll send through the identification now."

She punched in a few numbers onto her arm datapad before scanning through the docking history. Finding the suspect vehicle she flagged it. All military vessels would be on the lock out for it now.

"Let's get this interview over." Her words showed her want to get it over with fast.

She moved past everyone else and into the room, the Ambassador was searching through his desk and stopped when the Assistant called out too late that they were there. "Hold it!" Vivian said, one hand moving instinctively for her pistol to unclip it's safety lock.

"We don't have time to do a formal interview now, so anyone who has had access to this room is under arrest. We have visual evidence of you tampering with the crime scene, please do not resist. You will be detained by UA Security, you will be read your rights and can if you wish call upon legal representation. Kris, detain them if you please."

She called Jack over, the Veracity should be close to sending through a signal for the vessel they wanted to follow. "Get our ship ready, engines on standby with clearance to take off."

"Kris, your detectives can conduct the interview, get all feed and statements sent through as soon as they finish. But you, and the girl are coming with me. Get geared up, and meet us on the helipad in five minutes."

With that, the UA Military team stepped back into the elevator headed for the roof.

 

[knight713]

" Roger that" Kris replied as he pulled out a pair of handcuffs, he slowly walked towards the ambassador. once he saw the cuffs the man begain to sweat.

" You can't do this t me?" " Kris come on we're friends right i'll give you anything you want." the ambassador replied as he tried to plead with kris.

" You know trying to bribe me carries a sever offense just be quite and let me do my job." Kris replied as he cuffed the female assistant.

Kris watched as Aya put hand cuffs on the ambassador who held his head low, no matter what he said it wouldn't help him at all.

" I'll meet you on the heli pad shortly" Kris replied as he led his prisoners to another elvator. throught the entire ride the ambassador remained quite, but every so often he would look up and look at Kris and then Aya. The assistant on the other hand keeped her cool she didn't say a thing nor did she complain which was slightly strange. but it would have to wait for later.

 

[DormantEvil]

The elevator music was once again not fitting for the occasion, and as the team stood side by side the wait seemed to never end. Up on the helipad her shuttle was beginning to warm up, and not surprisingly snow flakes were falling from the sky. The seven people in the elevator made the trip slightly cramped, especially with a long barrel rifle sporting a bulky scanning scope, a box fed heavy fire rifle and each one of them carrying some sort of gear or technological equipment.

The doors opened onto the roof, and the back of the shuttle was down. Vivian headed over to the waiting space craft and jogged up the ramp. Her seat was waiting, and once her team was on board they only had to wait.

In the mean time each one of them went through and did a field weapons check.

It would take a few more minutes before everyone else arrived.

"Now, I don't need bad press from letting any of the UA Security detail die, so if the shit goes down you cover them. And if you get the chance to neutralize the capability of the fugitives to escape, by either restraint or physical force I authorize you to take it. The last thing we need is to chase them all the way across the Solar System. I've already put a block on that ship using the Relay Station, so we have the pinned somewhat."

 

[knight713]

As the front doors to the elevator opened he was met with the other security team. Kris quickly handed off the Ambassador to them and his assistant, Kris order them to send any info they get from the both of them. the man who seemed to be in the leader replied understood and escorted the two of them out of the building.

Before they left one of the men handed kris a medium sized suit case that held a heavy item. from the size and weight of the item it looked like it could hold a gun. Kris and Aya quickly got back on the elevator and headed towards the roof top.


" so what do you think of Vivian " Aya quickly asked him trying to pass the time as the elevator went up.

Kris looked at her and thought about it for a moment before he answered her. " well she seems like a intresting girl, she can take care of herself, don't take anything from anybody." kris replied as he waited for the doors to open to teh helipad
