Infinite Improbability Driver

[INFINITe IMPROBABILITY DRIVE]​

Alcatraz-Attica, a planet named for two of the famed prisons of "Earth Before". There was no mistaking this sector of the universe, it was a backwater planet, no real resources at least not liveable anyway. The water was a sickening green color like swamps and marsh lands; hardly worth the gag effect it put on normal humanoid bodies but what could anyone do when you lived on such a planet? There was no mistake in the name, appointed thusly for the many inmates incarcerated for various criminal and unforgiveable acts. Even so there were those inmates that had not committed a crime at all but were sent here to be "silenced" more or less for political gain.

This fine evening was spent catching up on a long over due maintainence inspection at the Alpha-Zulu Space Facility for criminals. And who would be the inspector for today but none other than the Fleet Admiral himself. Called in as a favor to a friend he stopped in on his way home from a previous mission. Surrounded by his personal guards along with facility personnel and the Commanding Officer of the facility itself. There were workers all over catching up on over due maintainence work... but it would seem the Admiral was stuck watching one man closely.


Standing stoicly by as an worker fidgeted with the wirework before him. "I believe this is the problem sir..." the man spoke his voice shaking with nervous fear. He knew he was upsetting the Admiral but what could he possibly do? He was new to this work, called in at the spur of the moment. Where was Tomkins? He should be here doing this, not him...

Sighing the Admiral arched a brow this was taking far too long. "Is there something you should be doing there son?" He asked, his voice low but holding a warning. A slight shuffle of feet near him alerted the Admiral to his prized possession, a strange woman by all rights.

She had been standing by idly the whole time silently observing. The man was definately incompatent, she could tell by his quickened pusles, the way his hands shook and how much persperation was pooling down his face. This man was not at all knowledgeable in his work. The Admiral choose that time to come near, Iid took a measured step back, her skirts shifting at the movement... she hated the confinement of these garbs the Admiral insisted she wear. Longing to return to the ship she turned cyan eyes upon him glowing even in the dim lighting. "We should return." she said evenly.

He knew what she wanted but it couldn't be helped it was after all a small favor. "Soon Iid soon, I must finish up here." He said and turned quickly to access what the man was doing. "Truly, how long is this going to take. I've come to see if everything is up to speed and apparently it is not, if that is the case get someone who knows what he's doing, now!"

"Y-yes sir..." the man jumped up with a squeak his foot tangled in the wires that were strewn about. In his excitement he tripped pulling one of the wires clear from the socket. In an instant that sector of the facility was thrown into darkness. Everyone stood silent in the dark before minutes later the auxilary lights came on, thrown into dim red lighting the Admiral growled making a quick movement toward the man but he managed to skuttle out of arms reach. "That man is to be shipped back to the primary planets immediately!" He growled just as the commanding officer came over to calm him.

"We've been looking to do that for a while now sir, just haven't gotten around to it."

"Well see its done." He seethed and turned to make sure Iid was safe next to him. "You are alright?"

"Fine sir, we should leave." she said however, eyes glowing in the dim red lighting. "The sector has been breeched." With little to no warning on her part, alarms went off, soldiers coming to the ready.

"Sir, the defense system went off line, cells in this sector have been open and it appears the inmates are loose. We have to get you back to the ship so we can handle this... please sir this way." The commanding officer was quick to take charge as he ushered the admiral and crew back to safety of course it would be quite the obsticle with a bunch of inmates on the loose, hopefully they wouldn't run into any...

[Okay guys take over, I'll post something more later...]

The sky much like the murky water of this planet shared a similer hue of putrid green from various toxic gasses in the atmosphere. Though it was unfit for most humanoid life to breath it still shared it's own unque beuaty that captured Caid's attention to no end as he watched the swirls of deadly colors through a small bared off window positioned high above and out of reach.

His room resmbled that of an old earth style cell, small and square shaped with dirty floors and walls from many unkept criminals who had once resided within this room, which created an unpleasent stench of sweat and urine throughout the entire prison. The small wire framed bed, that was the only peice of furnature within the room, was positoned in the far most right cornor of the room where Caid currently sat and stared up into the green glowing sky with his red eyes.

The portal from which sealed Caid in was the only uptoday form of technolgy, concisting of nothing but lights and lazors that fromed into a wall or barrior and gave a nasty electrical shock through anyone foolish enouph to mess with it.

Caid knew better then to try and even if he did escape his cell the probablitiy of escaping the rest of prison and into the swamps was only 14%, while his chances of actully living in the swamp was next to 0%.

The lights blinked for a second and slowly Caid looked up to the light above him as it flickered again and then adruptly went out. The low hum of the door died next and Caid turned to stare at the now open portal.

Calculating this new turn of events Caid found that his chances of escape had increased significantly while the chances of an event like this happening again were slim. Standing up Caid then steped towards the portal and left his cell.

(Portal = doorway)

Jack had left his cell a few days before, he'd been on the lamb since then, before he'd left he'd managed to scrounge up a canteen of fresh water and a sharp object --an old school shiv. He'd drank his water sparingly, and stayed in the shadows in and around the prison waiting for the perfect opportunity to jump a Transport Corvette or anything off this rat hole excuse for a prison facility. The escape had been a fairly lucky one, a guard came to check a noise in his cell --he was digging-- when a fight broke out in another part of the prison. He'd been lucky enough to get the guard who forgot to re-lock the door. Sheer dumbluck, but Jack had never been above taking sheer dumbluck.

He'd lurked away from the Docking Bay for about eight hours to find a meal and a quiet place to grab some shuteye...and to hopefully get a more suitable weapon. He'd had no such luck in any of those ventures, but he managed to catch a nap in an empty supply crate.

Climbing out of the crate, in the shadows, he scanned his environment for guards or other prisoners. For the most part it wasn't a tight facility in terms of prisoner control, a hundred guards for a few hundred prisoners. The docking bay was the only tightly secure part of Alcatraz-Attica, as that was the only area likely to provide a route of escape; the marshy planet surface dissuaded many from attempting to leave that way. And since it was uninhabited the suicide venture wouldn't be worth anything.

Jack crept back towards the docking bay, slowly moving in the shadows and waiting for foot traffic to disappear before he moved through sparse pools of light.

Tumble

Airdrie was washing dishes. An hour ago he had been making breakfast, but now he was washing dishes. It was amusing really just how much time he spent doing that, cooking or washing dishes. Sure it was in a prison but he seemed to rarely spend any real time in his cell. And at least the smell was somewhat dulled down here. A guard came up behind him never wise really but they did that all the time.

"Hey Tumble will there be entertainment with our breakfast today? HA HA HA"

Why god. It was like the moment any person became a guard here in Ol' Double A they lost 40 IQ points. Had he done one thing since he got to the prison? Why did no-one ever forget him falling off that chair. Griggs only ever remembered him it seemed when he was at the counter.

"No Griggs, just the same spit in your eggs that you've been gettting ever since they let me cook."

He was slammed up against the wall again. They were trusting the shackles again. Those silly electronic things that tightened his wrists if they moved past a certain speed. An ingenious design really but still not wise.

"What was that Tumble? Are you not happy here? Wanna see if there's a better life after?"

The shackles clicked off in the dishwater, and distantly an alarm sounded, Sounds like that with failures like this meant something was happening. Something finally good for Tumble. After five years something good. it meant he was going to have to have a little scrap with griggs but there really wasn't any other way. Besides what were they going to add to what would pretty much amount to a life sentence? Not like Death was any worse.

"You know Griggs, I never liked you." Airdrie snered as his hands lashed up a sturdy prison issue frypan in his hand, It didn't even dent the helmet but Griggs fell over from the bell rung in his head. he hardly but up a fuss when it was taken off him and put up no fuss after the pan acame down on his skull. Blood dripped slowly from a scalp cut. All Airdrie knew was he had to get the uniform off him soon. Moments later Griggs was in an oven, Still unconscious.

Griggs' uniform was actually a pretty good fit and the weapons while off seemed fine. He left the visor up and walked to his block. Without a good look at him most of the guards just milled, a few "Griggs don't be a hero" called out but he kept going. One Two One Two till he was back in his Block. People were on him instantly till the helmet was off. Then he was good old Tumble. Good old Tumble. Pilot; and posessor of flight clearance codes courtesy of Griggs' thumb.

"Boys I think we may have a way off this rock."

(OOC alright Tumble is not a leader but if anyone wants to be part of the boys, and people I'm gonna escort out feel free. It's just a plot device to get us closer to this admiral person.)

How in the name of Katos had Juniper allowed herself to be caught? She was now stuck on this shit hole of the universe planet in a fucking prision with fucking spiders. She was not the sort to put up with bullshit and the guards found that out pretty damn quick when one grabbed at her ass and despite the cuffs and the other guard's firm grip on her she had him on the ground and was attacking him.

She had spent her first week in solitary for that 'stunt' as they called it.

The beautiful girl then was forced to spend the next week in solitary due to the fact that the ugly butches of the joint decided they wanted a pretty little bitch.

Bullshit...

She was pulled off of the women by more guards screaming something about how if they ever think about touching her again their families would cry when they saw what she'd do to them. Juniper was out of solitary and began running the show. It only took a major scuffle to get it underway. She didn't like how some of these girls rocked it and she sure as hell wasn't putting up with that shit from these little pisses.

And she let them know that.

The day came when the cells opened...

"Beautiful," she said as she walked out and right into the guard from the first day that had grabbed her. "Payback's a bitch," she said as she put down her shoulder and tackled him to the ground. She scratched him to pieces before taking his gun and finishing the job. She tucked it into her pants and ran like hell for where she knew the ships to be stashed. She planned to take her ship back to find those mutinous little shits... oh... they would pay.

East wing of prison (male block 24)

"Boys I think we may have a way off this rock."

There was a loud cheer as a few of the other prisoners that had managed to escape flocked to the one known as Tumble and started getting ready, grabing what ever weapons they could fine or make in the short amount of time that they had before the big dogs were released to "collect" them.

In fact to be precise they had approximately four minutes and thirty-two seconds, Caid calculated as his internal programs started to collect various suspended data from within the prison. The power outage had saped most of the electronical devices, leaving him unable to gather any efficant data however computer signals and radio waves were still being transmited through the air from which Caid was able to capture and recode for his own understand.

Caid's blood eyes survayed the others in their mad dashed to collect weapons and this caused Caid to unconciously look down to his own right arm where his pulse gun was hidden away. His face then displaced a slight frown, the gun wouldn't be much use here since the guards had dismantled most of his offensive operating systems, leaving only his defensive cyber assult systems locked down.
Luckly for Caid in his time in the prison he had managed to create a small virus that caused the lockdown file to decay and eventully fail, brining his defensive and cyber assult systems operation.

"It would be wize for us to relocate ourselves at this time..." Caid said as he steped forward past the other inmates who either ignored him or gave disgusted faces.

"Lets use the android as a distraction for the guards!" One inmate yelled

"yeah he's useless to have with us anyway" Another said.

Caid's face was stotic as he ignored their insults which held no value to him. After all Caids survival rate was higher then any of theirs and the only other inmate with a significat survival rate was none other then Tumble.

"The guard dogs will be released in three minitues." Caid said looking into Tumbles eyes with his biological yet artifical souless orbs.

"Boys I think we may have a way off this rock."

Juniper wasn't going to stop running. A lot of the women had been rounded up already because they were just confused, they were not the born survivor that she was. She looked up at the man in the guard's uniform and knew that he was no guard.


"It would be wize for us to relocate ourselves at this time..."

"Lets use the android as a distraction for the guards!"

"yeah he's useless to have with us anyway."

She was unnoticed as of yet and she had to admit that that was a pretty stupid idea. Like the android would just take it and she bet that half of these idiots didn't have an escape plan like she did. Even if she sold him off for spare parts he could be worth something.


"The guard dogs will be released in three minitues."

"I hate guard dogs..." She whimpered no more than four feet away. "Come on... we have to get going now... Leave the idiots to their weapons... We have to get to the ships... Show me the way and I'll get you off this rock," she said to both of them.

"I hate guard dogs..."

Caid's eyes shifted to someone he hadn't noticed before, a female humanoid in fact, which was quite interesting considering the prison block for the females where located on the west wing of the prison.
For a female to have reached the male prison block...unscathed even, Caid could only assume this female humanoid contained a certain level of survival skills that surpassed that of the other inmates and would increase their overall chance of escaping.

"Come on... we have to get going now... Leave the idiots to their weapons... We have to get to the ships... Show me the way and I'll get you off this rock,"

Caid agreed nodding his head lightly before looking back to Tumble.

People were all babbling at him, voices from each side most useless calls to throw away the android, who'd hack ship systems then? Mentally Tumble did some quick acrobatics. The woman was more than useful, he'd watched her go in and out fo the Hole almost every month since she got here. The way she crawled up a guard to Boston Kiss him, even if she couldn't fight he'd keep her, and boy could she fight.

"Three minutes doesn't leave us a lot of time. Now I know where personal Guard vehicles are kept and I can fly us anything, so anyone willing to shut up and follow some orders can run that way, and me the robot and the bitch will run a distraction and join you. Everyone else head past the mess hall and through the main canyon."

Not surprisingly most of the other inamtes ran in the direction he was promising was freedom. Most of the other inmates were stupid but they'd cause a bigger riot and to be fair there were a lot of them, they might get out on the planet. But almost all the craft Tumble knew on site were only built for 6 maximum, and that didn't leave a lot of room for passengers. And while it was nice to be popular in prison he'd rather be free.

"Alright so time really is a wastin' and docking for civvies is on the other side, so I suggest we pick up some form of transprot and get the hell out of here. I figure my odds are better with useful people. And if someone was willing to work for me, they weren't that useful."

Tumble turned up and keyed Grigg's thumb in the pad it was a half kilometer to the Docking bays which didn't leave any time to waste. Hopefully he could actually keep up with that.

Jack hadn't committed any acts of irredeemable violence since the beginning of his internment in the rat-infested shithole that was Alcatraz-Attica, but he was about to. Silently he lurked in the shadows, the guard around one of the many gates into the docking bay was thinning as a disturbance elsewhere in the prison complex needed their attention. As the last straggler lingered, wondering if he should stay at his post Jack struck; clamping his hand over the poor man's mouth he shoved the small, four inch sharpened piece of rusty metal into the man's spine.

The man struggled painfully for a few moments before falling limp in Jack's arms; dragging him back into the shadows he removed the keycard to to the docking back and set about the task of removing one of his eyes for the retinal scanner. It was grizzly work, he was sure nightmares would follow, but if his attempt at gaining access to the docking bay were successful he'd be having those nightmares while smelling the sweet air of freedom.

From his pocket he retrieved a thin piece of plastic and wrapped it around the gory organ, holding back vomit as he did so. It was something he'd stolen from the kitchen, mostly it made sure he wouldn't crush it holding it in his fist or leave a trail of blood dripping behind him. The eye safely in hand, and the man's rifle slung over his shoulder, he peaked out around the corner and looked both ways. Ducking back in swiftly as he heard the sound of a transport vehicle headed in his direction, that was bad, if more guards were stationed it would make it nearly impossible to breach security. At least without immediately notifying anyone waiting on the other side with weapon fire.

Juniper was ready to go, the fur on her tail was tingling because she knew that the dogs would be along shortly. She hated dogs... especially guard dogs. The men all seemed to think that giving up the robot was the best plan of action and while she was getting irritated she didn't want the men to know to much...

It would be much harder to manipulate them later.

"Three minutes doesn't leave us a lot of time. Now I know where personal Guard vehicles are kept and I can fly us anything, so anyone willing to shut up and follow some orders can run that way, and me the robot and the bitch will run a distraction and join you. Everyone else head past the mess hall and through the main canyon."

As soon as the men were running, seemingly blindly, to their fate the neko looked at the man. "Did you call me a bitch?" She asked. A tiny smile came to her mouth. "If it weren't true I'd rip your head off and make it into a decorative ashtray..." She said. Wow, she was in a good mood if she was only threatening.

"Alright so time really is a wastin' and docking for civvies is on the other side, so I suggest we pick up some form of transprot and get the hell out of here. I figure my odds are better with useful people. And if someone was willing to work for me, they weren't that useful."

"Cut throat..." She said eyeing him with a smirk. "Survival of the fittest I see." She looked to the android. "Interesting hunk of metal..." She said before watching the man press the severed thumb into the scanner. She watched the door open and she had to admit that it was brilliant thinking ahead like that.

"Hm... How long have you been carrying around a fucking severed thumb?" She asked sounding intrigued and disturbed at the same time...

"Three minutes doesn't leave us a lot of time. Now I know where personal Guard vehicles are kept and I can fly us anything, so anyone willing to shut up and follow some orders can run that way, and me the robot and the bitch will run a distraction and join you.

"Did you call me a bitch? If it weren't true I'd rip your head off and make it into a decorative ashtray..."

Everyone else head past the mess hall and through the main canyon."

After a few moments after the other prisoners had moved out Tumble spoke again.

"Alright so time really is a wastin' and docking for civvies is on the other side, so I suggest we pick up some form of transprot and get the hell out of here. I figure my odds are better with useful people. And if someone was willing to work for me, they weren't that useful."

"Cut throat...Survival of the fittest I see."

"The chaos of the other prisoners increases our chances of escapeing by 15%..however due to their primitive weapons and lack of training will not last long against the automative torrets."

Caid said calmly as he followed behind tumble.
"Interesting hunk of metal..."

Caids stoped and he turned looking back to Juniper but he remained quiet as Tumble pulled out the stolen thumb from a guard..

"Hm... How long have you been carrying aro.."

Junipers voice seemed to fade away as Caid's eyes closed slightly and his internal networking sensors reached further out into the air around them.
A picture slowly formed in the back of his mind as a layout of the prisons schemnatics were downloaded and stored within his partially robotic brain.
His body released a highpitch frequency then (similer to that of a dog whistle) and forms began to take shape within the map of his head. He could see them then..the movement of the guards and prisoners thourghout the facility. Already a battle had taken place between the guards and prisoners. He could see the transports Tumbles was talking about and he could see the docking bay on the otherside of the facility.

Caids eyes opened fully again as the door to the next room opened.

"...two minitues remaining."

"The chaos of the other prisoners increases our chances of escapeing by 15%..however due to their primitive weapons and lack of training will not last long against the automative torrets."

She actually laughed at the thought of those oafs running into torrets. Well, she just thought about how they would go about this whole thing... would they actually try and get past those machines? And apparently the android didn't like her calling him that.

"Hunk of metal... it's not a bad thing..." She said thinking it better to bac down a little considering that this thing would be doing more of the computer work down... She couldn't hack... she was a leader and a fighter.

She was really glad she could see the docking bay. Her heart skipped a beat at the thought of freedom. But then the robot seemed broken or something... and then his eyes opened all the way.

"...two minitue remaining."

"Well chop off my legs and call me shorty we have to go and now," she said as she looked at them. "I hope you can keep up..." She said looking at the android for a moment longer before running for their only means of survival. She was sure that she would have been dead without them so... she wouldn't kick them off of her...

"Where the fuck is my ship?" She asked sounding completely pissed off. All she could see was a bunch of the dinky little escape pods with beacons on them... And then she saw it.

"Oh... I'm in love," she said as she looked at the huge ship.

Tumble turned over to her as he opened the lock. "I think about 6 minutes ago when I cut it off the guard in the kitchen. Shackles came off I hit him with a frying pan and tossed him in an oven."

He looked thoughtful half a moment as he started to move, damn but she was fast. It was an 800 m jog and she was pretty much there within a minute or less. Even the android didn't keep up to that. As it was it was three minutes later when Tumble got there to see them both looking at ships and pods. he was out of breath armor was heavy.

"I don't know, But they don't hold ships here. Anything that they get from someone else becomes Navy property if it's good, Prison property otherwise. I was strippin' em the first two years I was here. And the big one is a laundry freighter she looks mean but she steers like a cow and runs about as well as a fish on dry land. Besides as I'm sure the Andy knows, we need to be on the other side of the complex in order to get out of here, Anything we take off out of this side we ain't gonna get off world. That's why there's no ships here. But we can get into the Guards hover bikes. and find something on the civvie dockets, wasn't there some sort of big to-do with a visiting admiral? With the riot and the release we might be able to get offworld with some hostages, We take off here and what if there's fifty ships in the sky? I didn't come all this way to die."

Tumble had hands on knees catching his breath. It was about the limit of his connections to know that their was someone visiting, he was making a guess on the admiral, after all who else came here? He got himself over to the docket walls and began pulling off a guard platform. At least the thing had weapons. Grigg's thumb still worked but he wondered how long it would sooner or later the fat bastard would crawl out of the oven, it wasn't like Tumble had turned it on.

"So is everyone getting on, I need someone to watch for things other than traffic."

"I don't know, But they don't hold ships here. Anything that they get from someone else becomes Navy property if it's good, Prison property otherwise. I was strippin' em the first two years I was here. And the big one is a laundry freighter she looks mean but she steers like a cow and runs about as well as a fish on dry land. Besides as I'm sure the Andy knows, we need to be on the other side of the complex in order to get out of here, Anything we take off out of this side we ain't gonna get off world."

She frowned but it was better to listen right now. "Fuck me..." She said as she rubbed her forehead irritably. She was ready to go and get out of this hell hole.

"That's why there's no ships here. But we can get into the Guards hover bikes. and find something on the civvie dockets, wasn't there some sort of big to-do with a visiting admiral? With the riot and the release we might be able to get offworld with some hostages, We take off here and what if there's fifty ships in the sky? I didn't come all this way to die."

"Ok fine... We'll go with that one damn..." She said. Of course she knew that now was not the time to be looking but he was looking pretty good.

"So is everyone getting on, I need someone to watch for things other than traffic."

"Come on," she said as she sat right behind the one who seemed to know where he was going as opposed to her who got out of the Hole, very rarely. "you'll have to lead the way... I don't get out much," she laughed.

"I don't know, But they don't hold ships here. Anything that they get from someone else becomes Navy property if it's good, Prison property otherwise. I was strippin' em the first two years I was here. And the big one is a laundry freighter she looks mean but she steers like a cow and runs about as well as a fish on dry land. Besides as I'm sure the Andy knows, we need to be on the other side of the complex in order to get out of here."

Caid caught up then and his souless eyes looking over the two first before falling to the broken mess that was the laundry freighter. It was made of steel and layer of rust covered every visible edge on it and no wheels could be seen since it was a type of hovercraft. Wasteing no time Caid walked calmly over to the hovercraft.

"Anything we take off out of this side we ain't gonna get off world. That's why there's no ships here. But we can get into the Guards hover bikes. and find something on the civvie dockets, wasn't there some sort of big to-do with a visiting admiral? With the riot and the release we might be able to get offworld with some hostages, We take off here and what if there's fifty ships in the sky? I didn't come all this way to die."

As Tumble continued to talk Caid had moved around to the other side of the large laundry freight and pulled open its control box. Extending his left hand into the machine's wireing. Small latches on his wrist opened up then and an aray of tentical like wires with various ends spread throughout the freight tearing and rewireing circuts and old wires while replacing them with diffrent parts of the freight that wern't needed for what Caid intended.

A few sparks was seen before abruptly stoping and growing quiet once more.


"So is everyone getting on, I need someone to watch for things other than traffic."

"It would be wize if we also took the laundry freight at this time. The bikes will not provide much cover from the guard dogs or the guards gun fire.Their is also a matter of a blockade. seperating us from the docking station.

Moving over to another motor bike Caid pulled it free and then proceeded to completly rip the gun from the bike with his hands.

"leave now..I'll be right behind you."

South Wing (Block 55, Docking Station)

"The east wing has been breeched. Inmates are loose in the male block 24... get the Admiral to his ship now!" Came the blare over the transmitters (walkies).

"Roger that. Lets go Admiral things are heating up and we don't need an galaxtic-incident with you onboard." The commanding officer was hard pressed to get the Admiral back to the civvie docking station where he'd be safest. The guards in charge of his protection were huddled in a tight formation to keep he and his 'guest' of sorts from criminal hands.

The Admiral however had his own plan and quickly pulled out his transmitter. "Hey! You idiots onboard better have that ship ready. I'm on my way!" he shouted.

Iid remained deathly silent through all of this, the skirts given to her by the admiral making it quite hard to run or keep up for that matter. Each guard was strategically circled around them leaving no room for error. However, she could see a slight mishap in their formation, easily she could escape or the admiral could be shot. These men were admirable in their work but they were not sufficient...this mission was doomed to fail. She thought to speak up and correct their formation for them, after all she wasn't simply a power source but a well trained strategist and logistics anaylists. She had to be in order to direct the crew of the ship when in deep space. She had to know how to think on her feet and take over control of the ship when she felt the crew was incapable.

Even so, she followed silently along. Her cyan eyes scanned the surrounding area taking in things that normal eyes could not see. Through the panneling of wires and metal she could see guards milling about on the other side, no doubt rounding up a few of the inmates that had found their way around. They would be dealt with accordingly she assumed. Tripping slightly on her skirt she grimaced and looked to the Admiral.

Being pushed along was no fun but the excitement taking place was definately new to her. A part of her felt... elated. An emotion she wasn't very familiar with, was she allowed to feel such things? The Admiral had told her such emotions were dangerous and that she should detatch herself from anything pleasant. And yet he liked to touch her those were definately not pleasant moments.

"Sir..." she spoke finally but didn't wait for a response. Stopping in her tracks she glared at the hideous skirt and ripped it from her person but only half of the confining garment ripped free, it would do for now as long as her legs were not hindered. "Nevermind, let us proceed." And with that the entourage of guards quickly made their way to the docking stations.

"Damnit Iid! Don't be such a whore!" The Admiral shouted, halting his procession. "You are a lady, not some half nude little tramp. Wear this."

The Admiral draped his massive uniform jacket over Iid's slender shoulders, the girl slumped slightly at the sheer weight of the heavy fabric laced with metals and badges of accomplishment. The admiral was displeased very much at Iid's constant desire to run around nude, it simply wasn't proper. She had been created to be a siren of space, a forbidden pleasure known only to him. Not a naked little minx, allowing any incompetant guard or inmate to oggle her perfectly smooth, pale, slender legs. His jacket was more than long enough to regain her modesty.

"Much better." The Admiral sighed out of relief.

This entire prison was a shit-hole, nothing about it was precise, nothing symetrical. There was even an odd number of wings on the thing. Wires were visible in inopportune places, paint had chipped from corners, and the Admiral didn't even want to think about the floors. The Admiral's massive hand clasped down on the back of Iid's neck, his sausage like fingers closing almost completely around her throat. Though his grip was surprisingly gentle for such a giant of a man, the push forward that he gave to Iid was anything but.

Once they reached the civilian docks the Admiral pushed himself and Iid up to the front. He disengaged the force field that led to the docks. Then he engaged it again. Then he disengaged it. Then he re-engaged it. Disengaged. Re-engaged. disengaged. His hand touched the holster of his side-arm as he thought he heard one of the guards snicker.

"Let's go you fucking misfits, you're supposed to be protecting us."

The snicker however was from Iid who managed to hide that fact very well as the Admiral would never expect any such emotion from her. No one did for that matter. The jacket was confinning yet again and she wanted to hoist it off her slender shoulders and back at the sausage of a man. Sighing she instead followed instructions as they were given. This whole escape plan was doomed to fail and she turned cyan eyes to the Admiral. "Sir..." the single word was easily understandable. He would know that she didn't approve of anything going on and that their odds of success was quite slim despite the security detail.

However the ship was close and just knowing that brought a sense of elation to Iid that no one would understand. Home was the ship and nothing more. Being away from it for too long put her in a mood, one on the foul side indeed. "Should we not hurry?" she asked scanning the surrounding area. It was then she heard the faint sound of metal agains metal a loud screeching sound that wasn't normal by any means.

[Give Jimming time to catch up...]

North side of the prison facility.

~~~Elsewhere~~~

To the north of the facility and past the prison cafeteria a giant gate remained closed. A bright red light was currently flashing on and off making the guards armor and skin appear red in color with every flash.
As they stood around nervously with loaded guns and pulse weapons they continued to look out for any escaped prisoners while two others were kneeled down to the right side of the gate and worked diligently to supply power to the gate.

"How long until that damn door is able to open Jekkle?" A voice yelled over the transmitter while a tall and muscular man raised the transmitter to his lips.

"Any second now sir, don't worry we have things under control here."

"Good, once the dogs are loose this whole incident will be settled in a matter of minutes and hopefully the admiral won't be too pissed about this."

"where is the admiral now?" Jekkle asked.

"He's fine we're escorting him to his ship where it'll be safer for him and the prototype."

The Jekkle nodded and sighed lightly.
"Alright see to it that nothing happens to him and we'll do our part here, over and out."

Placing the transmitter back onto his belt Jekkle turned back to the two mechanics that continued to work on the door. Jekkle was a big man, one of the senior guards who had been working at the prison for years, things like this didn't happen often but he wasn't afraid of the prisoners here. He was part of the intergalactic navy and was trained to handle situations like this.

"Got it!" one of the mechanics yelled as the light above them turned green and the doors started to rise as a loud siren went off and the sound of moving metal could be heard from within.

The other guards turned then looking towards the opening door that gave way to a completely pitch blank room. After a moment of silence multiple pairs of red glowing eyes suddenly flared to life and a sudden horrible screech, that resembled something similar to metal scraping across metal and someone screaming, was heard echoing throughout the entire prison facility. A long tentacle like arm with a claw like hand shot from the darkness and impaled the first mechanic who gave out a blood gargled scream as the mechanical claw riped through his stomach and yanked him into the darkness.

"the fuck!" Jekkle yelled as blood splattered onto him and the other guards from the unfortunate mechanic.

Another tentical like arm came out towards Jekkle but his surprised moment had already fade and he dodged it just in time while another unfortunate guard took the hit and his head was smashed into the wall behind him causing a large splatter of blood and bits of his brain to drip from the wall.

"There out of control?! fall back" Jerkkle yelled while as he rolled himself over to his feet again and lifted his automated gun to take a few shots at the mechanical dog that was suppose to be on their side.

Moving back with the senior officer a few of the other guards started opening fire as more of the mechanical monsters emerged from the gate and flew at the retreating guards with unreal speed. Another set of gunfire was heard followed by more screams as other guards were being shredded apart by the monsters tentacle like arms of the guard dogs.

What was happening? why were the guard dogs attacking them? in all his time here there had never been been a catastrophe like this before.
Jerkkle's eyes widened then as he turned the corner and saw a few of the loose inmates with weapons in hand coming towards him.

"hey! it's that guard who treated me badly the other day. Lets mess him up too before we leave!" one of the inmates shouted and ran towards him while the others followed.

"I don't have time to fuck with you." Jekkle yelled back as he ran head long into the first inmate and simply head butted him which caused the man to go flying back.

With the other two inmates shocked at how fast their friend had fallen Jekkle continued running past them.

"ugh...you mother fuc..guhhh!" The first inmate said as he started to get up only to suddenly have a claw impale him through the back of his spine and then spread apart separating him into two parts.

Jekkle could hear the screams of the other two inmates but he didn't care he needed to lock down this section of the prison. It was bad enough the prisoners had escaped but if the dogs managed to get into the other area's of the prison everyone could be endangered.

~~~

Rounding the last corner Jekkle saw the the door from which he could seal off this part of the prison and dashed to it as fast as he could.
Almost, he was almost there, he and everyone else outside the northern sector would be safe where the prisoners could be controlled and the dogs could eventually be shut down manually through a computer.

The sudden sound of screeching was heard again followed by an explosion as one of the guard dogs smashed through the wall directly in-front of him.

"Fuck!" Jekkle said aloud as he dodges another deadly tentacle just as it passed him and scraped against his skin which caused him to wince in pain as a large gash formed on his arm. Another tentacle came at him again and Jekkle swung the butt of his gun to smash it away. Now only a few feet away from the dog Jekkle raised the butt of his gun again to smash it down over the many eyes of the dog with all his strength.

A cracking sound was heard and a few sparks flew. Much to his relief the security dog stoped moving for a moment giving him enough time to slide around the dog and make it to the door control panel. Using his identification code Jekkle entered the lock down code and quickly moved to the other side of the door as it started to shut. The door suddenly stopped and Jekkle looked down to see a large mechanical tentacle had wedges itself between the door and was now forcing it open.

"Fuck no!" Jekkle yelled as he aimed his gun at the guard dogs tentacle and opened fire. The tentacle squirmed as bits of metal and bullets flew in all directions and the door started to close again.

The sudden sound of moving metal from behind him caused Jekkle to inhale sharply and turn around slowly to see five more guard dogs surrounding him.

"...well fuck me.." he said before his world became dark.

(Back with caid)

Caid continued to stare indifferently at Tumble and Juniper.

"The dogs are loose now.."

Tumble

Tumble looked back at the Cat thing, and the android. Maybe they were tough enough to consider that a statement of fact, But he wasn't. in point of fact he was pretty much a squishy sack of meat and he knew it.

"Loose? well joy then." Tumble kicked on the motor to the guard platform, and let it idle, whoever the kitty was she was already on it, and the droid Was firing up a bike. Guess if he wanted to take his chances he could, but he was right. there was not enough cover on one of those. And if the Dogs were really out, there wasn't enough cover anywhere that wasn't in a cell. "I'm making a break for it anyway. 5 years was a little long in one of the cells."

The engine purred nicely, at least it was full and charged. "Miss I'd hang on these things aren't known for being smooth. Andy we'll keep up no worries."

He kicked the platform into gear and began tom kae off it was only a few Km to the Docks and he trusted his piloting. He only hoped things on the docks were clean when he got there. And they were for a moment then he saw them all.

She listened to the android talk of the security that came with the frieghter. She knew that it would be wise but then it might be troublesome too.

Juniper looked visibly worried now as she stood on the platform. "Aren't the platforms faster?" She asked. Of course they were... it was just the way that it was.

She had to weigh out the options.

"The dogs are loose now.."

"Loose? well joy then. I'm making a break for it anyway. 5 years was a little long in one of the cells."

"Fuck..." She said. "Alright," Juniper growled. "Android get in the freighter and see if you can't provide some cover for us..." She said thinking that sounded right. "This has a gun so we will need the little firepower it has to fight back so really it makes sense to take both..."

"Miss I'd hang on these things aren't known for being smooth. Andy we'll keep up no worries."

She didn't need to be told twice and so she hooked her tail around him from under his right arm across his chest diagonally to just above his left arm. She had her gun out and ready. "Yeah I know... Just go..." She hissed.

She wasn't startled as he took off like that... She just held on to keep from falling off. She knew they could make it and she wasn't afraid to fight anything... but she would really hate to fight those damned dogs...

Tumble

The opening was uneventful, that was god. then it finally started. Tentacles of coiled steel, flashing forward, like intelligent tripwires. Intelligent but uncreative, and usually only one. Ducking up and down was easy and Tumble did nothing but continue to gather speed. then it really started. he ducked the corner taking it in a tight spin that caused the little platform to drop 10 meters in a hurry.

Webs of them Running forward and and small wave of them behind. Just like a race he didn't even look back, it only lost you ground and what did he need to know how many there were for? It only took one to kill them all. Then there was a wall of people in front of him, a wall of people with guns. And they were all firing. he had onyl a moment as he shouted with some mad glee at his passenger.

"This is where you learn why I have this nickname"

Firing at him at what was behind him it didn't really matter, he cut the thrust. Then each turning thruster at a full power in sequence, causing them to spin, a crazy cirlce while they dropped. Only inertia kept him goign and he was rapidly driopping Beams coming closer as he turned and turned and turned, the craft tumbling in the air. Like some crazy meteorite he was heading for guards while Dogs came out behind him to be cut down. At the last moment he jetted straight up letting Machinery and people smash together in a sickening mess. The craft stuttered a little a fell forward almost skipping off the ground at a low speed.

"Alright this is where you get off and get in the ship, I'm better off lucky than good, and you aren't. Go cause some havoc miss."

Everything was going smoothly, just dodging in and out, until shit hit the fan. He wasn't looking anywhere else but she did. They were chasing them. She was going to waste her bullets but was sure she would need them so she hung onto the man who was driving and gave a gasp and a quick string of swears when she saw what was happening ahead of them.

"This is where you learn why I have this nickname"

He seemed much to happy to her and it was with the mad series of movements that nearly sent her flying from the platform that she vowed to punish him later. She screamed and buried her face into the back on his neck and shoulder hoping to live through it. And suddenly there were explosions and they were jolted sharply as she platform hit the ground. She gasped when she realized they were still alive...

"Alright this is where you get off and get in the ship, I'm better off lucky than good, and you aren't. Go cause some havoc miss."

"You..." She said locking gazes with him... "I'm going to have a few words with you later..." She promised and she didn't sound pleased as she noticed the guards that were heading up to the ship. They hadn't exactly made a quiet entrance and now... people were fucking shooting at her.

She was running at full speed attacking the guards that were at the base of the stairs before slipping past and running to where they were boarding the ship. She caught a bullet in her arm but it was clear she didn't even feel it as she took out four guards within moments. She saw the huge Admiral and found herself chuckling as she broke one of his men's necks.

Well this changed everything now didn't it. A small band of inmates had actually made there way here and with the dogs out no less. To say she wasn't impressed would be lying but Iid didn't care either way. That simply meant more cargo and less manuverability if it came down to it.

That would not do... a slight smirk came to her lips at the sight of the strange feline woman. She was taking out the guards pretty easily, that deserved a measure of respect. For Iid she didn't care she hated the military and with every guard taken out less cargo on her part it also made more room for the inmates for she wasn't going to sit here and have a chat with the Admiral about moral backgrounds while the dogs were only a stones throw away.

Shifting slightly she stood idly by standing behind the Admiral his larger frame would have her hidden but for a time until she slide from behind him. Discarding his coat she gave it back to him and looked up with a rather blank glare. "Sir we should hurry to the ship." she stated walking ahead of him. The commotion taking place with the cat woman and the other lucky inmates didn't concern her at this moment. Once the ship was online she was taking off with or without the Admiral or anyone else in this backwater facility.

With the sound of banging against the reinforced bay doors she knew the dogs were here and they were pretty much surrounded. Any time now people... it's only your lives you're playing with.
