Tech

( *) denotes tech that is apllied across ALL load outs.
cybernetic combat body.

* The CCB mod 7 : A modular base cyber body. a fully cyberized body. Able to lift and carry ~ 600 KG of weight and a top physical movement speed of 25 mph.
Aside from the humanoid styled hands , the center piece of the suit has 6 cable " tentacles " which are housed inside the chest and can be individually controlled. The soles of the CCB's suit can be magnetized, allowing it to attach it self to various metal objects, additionally , There are various ports which o2 can be used to affect moment in 0-g if the user doesn't wish to use the short range boasters.

Defense wise, the armor plate which over 85% of the "body" can withstand 2 .50 BMG APDS rounds near point blank, resistant to heat based weaponry
such as 40 seconds of direct laser exposure,and mild plasma burns.
weight : 350 lbs per unit.


* Closed shell communication systems:
A communication system that is not connected to any outside source, the communication is wireless, but encrypted by a near random number generator that
runs in tandem with 6 others to provide a one time cypher per each individual communication. CSC can be used for user only audio, optical sharing, and sensations so long as the user has a cyber brain case.

Outside communications are giving a different channel and have no connection, what so ever, to the CSC


* Infrared-optical camouflage: A visual/thermal cloaking system that changes the thermal signature of the user to the nearest surface to the user * within 15 meters* or can be changed manually. Visually, light is bend around the object giving it a nearly seamless illusion of what is on the other-side, while stationary, the slight disturbance might be seen as little more than heat mirage near sharp edges, This can also be manually manipulated for general purpose camouflaging.

The IOC it's self is actually a paint , magic based, that can be applied to various surfaces, and only when charged is it activated. This is done passively as to not give off an electrical signature, During the initial charging sequence the Infrared spectrum is still visible , but fades shortly.

* Hazardous Environment Analyzation and Scanning System.
H.E.A.S. for short.
H.e.a.s uses passive indicators to check various environmental conditions. Ranging from o^2 to harmful radiation.
H.e.a.s has an active mode in which it detects the levels of magic being used in the near area( 200 M Dia circle from the user)

* HUDS
HUDS is an on board system that lays out a map based on optical information , it is then transposed into a topographic map.
It can be used to set various markers, way points, and references superimposed onto the user's vision or just as a 2-D render.
HUDS is part of the Closed shell coms network.

1 hour prior to the current events on Jarrako Downs.





Inky blackness, seemingly thicker than the dust that lined the station, waited, as if poised for sudden---violent movement. T he soft sound of a cautious boot easing over floor panels was the only thing drifting through the blackness. The already dead station seemed to have whatever life left in it choked out by the stillness that threatened to engulf the two Cyborgs sent to
this crypt.

“ Six “ The cyborg, standing watch at the door , more out of habit than reason, stated.

Six, Sara Tamers, HCU-001’s Linguist and Technical officer, was eye deep in stale computer logs.

“ What Maverick, and stop calling me that, we’re alone here and this isn’t a combat situation.” She replied as she puzzled out the final bits of codes opening one of the former Renev’s study.

Maverick Al’thor, Two, HCU-001’s demolitions technician rolled his non-existent eyes.
“ Do you think there is any merit to any of those stories about this place?”

“ Probably , tho not at face value, This place was abandoned how long ago?
And then all of a sudden some looters start poking at this place; then an already weakened nation pays hand over fist for some logs that may or may not still be intact?”

Maverick shifted his rifle, uneasy nonetheless. He had seen far too much of the universe to put it passed . “ I like how you left out the part of me being supposed to blow up half this scrap heap.” He added sullenly. As much as he enjoyed all things explosive, he couldn’t wait to leave this dead station, it gave him the willies.

Sara shook her head, laughing a bit to herself.
The final bit of code was corrected applied at the Lock on the door released, tho , the door didn’t slide open.

“ rusted shut.” Sara cursed whoever built this piece of shit, nothing ticked her off more than something that was built like crap. Good thing their Combat bodies were infact, not crap.

Cautiously Sara approached the door like she would have a bomb. She checked the seams of the door for any visible trip wires or pressure plates. Mavrick moved into the room, watching their back as the Technician worked.

“ H.E.A.S, reading clear, active and passive. No magical traps, not here at least.” .Nothing on this side anyways
 Sara took a steadying breath, figuratively, before gripping the door hand firmly.


With minimal effort , and a shriek that lanced the silence the rusted door gave way.
Mavrick swept in, only stopping long enough to double check the other side of the door for traps.

Nothing, just more ruined living space , dust and a skeleton half hanging out of a ventilation shaft.


“ Clear
. The fuck happened here
?!” Mavrick said, sweeping the dank room with the flashlight on the end of his weapon. He eyed the skeleton with mistrust as Sara moved in after him.

“ donno, The Renev’s didn’t bother to say
 Tho I’m sure we'll find out considering what we’ve been sent here to recover.” She answered, sweeping the room herself after Maverick entered.

Maverick moved wordlessly from the skeleton back to the doorway and watched through the room they came from, aiming at the doorway incase anyone
. Or anything, wanted to know what that sound was.

Sara meanwhile started in on another terminal , the last 3 they had picked through were little more than letters to home, or documents on mining, things of a homely nature.
Being so old she had to jump start this one , using her suit’s generator to power the terminal. This hard connection gave her a bit more access to some of the files , at least a bit quicker since it was acting as a back door. Scanning over the files she noted strange chunks of code seeming heaped in there at random. Tho upon opening it , it seemed little more than a personal letter to a co-worker. Sara dug through the personal files to figure out exactly who this was sent to. The recipient wasn’t registered on station.


“ I think i’ve found something, tho I can’t say what it is for now. She frowned prodding at the background code. Whomever sent this wanted the real message to be seen only by this Talos An’kor character




“ Take your time, it’s not like anyone is on this rust bucket.” Mavrick answered, still watching the doorway with his weapon, flashlight off.

And with that, both cyborgs were again swallowed by the darkness that ate away at this station
.. until the lights flickered on.

The lights flickered on, Marick’s weapon snapped to his shoulder , watching for danger.

“ Was that you?”

Sara shook her head, her own weapon snapping to the doorway as well.

“ Somewhere else on the station, hold on let me check for any other access points that are currently active.”

Sorting through the code that flooded her vision, she quickly found a few live terminals, only one had been near a docking point however. She logged the terminal location on her H.U.D and disconnected from the server. She would now have a visual marker placed on the approximate location of the connection that she and her partner could see.

Thought we were supposed to be the only ones here.”


Survivors? Renev sending a back up team? scavengers?


Probably the latter, Lets proceed with caution and stick to the primary focus, I’ll play the audio logs as we move. Take point under thermoptic camouflage and keep soft contact. Should we need to we can remove any threats. “ Sara said.
Roger, staying soft.

With that the two cyborgs flashed bright white, then melted as if made out of thin air. Standing still it was almost as if they were never there. Only when they moved did a very faint shimmer appear from their combat suits.


Mavrick took point , and pushed the hallway. The faint warm light sputtered and flickered , a short no doubt that gave the hallway a shifting feeling. Sara followed watching their backs, keeping track of Mavericks movements with the H.U.D.

The audio logs started playing softly , as if in the background of the cyborgs minds.
Captain Nimmara Log:1 '< report>

Test, test, one two three, Ah there we go. As upon the request of Admiral Hume, I am logging the events around Eros 4 and the Penta alliance. The treaty was signed today by the five ambassadors of the surrounding territories; The Renev, Macluan, Scry, Adnormen, and us ; Burdokians.

I actually have high hopes for this endeavor, The Renev are leading in the scientific area as normal, Macluan are providing security, the Scry labor and mining equipment, and the Andormen transportation , communications equipment, and we have the easy job of bank rolling it all, Thankfully our nation has such a high trade profit, even more so now Jarrako Downs is completed, This will likely be a new age of prosperity for all involved. Finally a lasting peace brought on by a common goal, profit.



“ Pushing right, marker is 700 M to our 245 azm, “
“ So this was a tradeport? I wonder what went sideways here
 Judging by the decor I would assume some sort of riot.”


Mavrick ignored Sara’s musing as he picked his way through the hallway. It looked like someone had barricaded some of the living quarters and set up a checkpoint to prevent traffic from getting to one side of the station. This hadn't been a riot.

“ two dead bodies up front, long dead
watch your step” He said stepping over the decayed corpse that still clutched a weapon, and some sort of crystal charm.



The next audio log clicked on.

Captain Nimmara Log: 2 <report>


It's been 8 common cycles since we've signed the treaty, I'm surprised how quickly we've managed to set up this mining operation, the Renev's scouting equipment must be much more significant that we ever understood as they seem to have gathered a large amount of information in a short time. They have narrowed down the area proving to be abundant in high density crystals and ore to a 3 km grid square. The Andormen have set up a ring gate from the station to the main mining site allow for easy transport, not gonna lie, It was really strange being torn apart and put back together... Anyhow, there are reports of some dwellings on the moon, which seems odd all things considered ,we thought this sector was dead space.
Hopefully things keep going well.



Sara frowned, Teleportation tech, that old? Now that was interesting, she would have to find this thing and get to the surface, it might lead to some more information about all this.

They had closed the distance greatly , only 250 meters away from the last active terminal now.

Feeling terribly uneasy, Daisy heard from her communicator that Seth just saw the doors close. Immediately she began to hyperventilate. It was well too much all at once, she had been prepared for certain problems, but this way beyond what she had imagined. Let it be said, Daisy was not green, nonetheless she was quickly agreeing with Rei. The fact she had touched the rock was making her panic even more.

Less inclined to relax, she whimpered with general disquiet, her body shivering, while she gripped herself much like a jacket of some sort...

Emotive elicitations escaping her throat like sounds of strangled cat or mouse. Biting her lip and all confidence gone.

So scared was she the gun dropped with a clatter.

Safety still on.

Next she fell and started to weep speaking to herself, "Rei... I just wanted to find out what happened here... I just wanted to understand... just like know... I am barely related, but I had heard stories of them... I had heard how they strived... strived to be a force of unity... I believed..." sniffling she looked up tearfully at her, "I did not want to trap you all... I did not know half of this... all I knew is this station was abandoned and no one knew what happened... I just believed I could find the logs and everyone would get rich from this... This was not even my first salvage, it was just my most ambitious... but the doors are sealed in Hanger and I doubt they can be hacked this time..."

Sighing she suspected Rei would feel no sympathy for her, "I know I seem naive, but please understand I did thoroughly study schematics of this station I could find. I even took a lesson in the tech. I was prepared... I just..." turning away she picked herself up, "I'll see if I can crack the security from my knowledge, no promises though..." with that she walked over to console and once more switched to controls, silently praying that she could hope to break this advanced security.

"Well you found out, and it wasn't pretty. Now what are you going to do? Recall everyone and leave? Last I checked you weren't so great at emergency procedures under pressure." Rei snapped, her patience having reached it's limit with Daisy. "Barely related? What the hell are you talking about girl?" She asked dropping down into a squat next to Daisy, impatience evident on her face. "You haven't made a lick of sense since we got here."

Rei didn't so much feel sympathy as rather annoyance with the entire situation. Daisy hadn't been exactly level with her when she'd gotten her to agree to come on the trip. "Gods help us if you can't do shit... we're already as good as spaced." She grumbled hopping up to peer over Daisy's shoulder as she went back to the console and it's controls.

While Russian was busy hacking the door to the army, he began to listen as Daisy began to cry and begin to talk about how she got them all trapped on the station. Frankly he did not care if the doors could not be hacked but he decided to speak up. "Hey! Hey! Hey! Captain! I want to have a few words with you so listen up Damey...Dilly....Daisy! Right now you are breaking down on us which is understandable since we are trapped on a station with something that might kill us, but for gods sake woman if you plan on doing more things like this you are bound to kill yourself. So next time when you think of investigating a abandoned space station I suggest you stay at home and in the kitchen where you belong because if we are in a life or death situation and you break down crying you are going to get people killed. I hate to say it, but I have to say it." HE finished speaking and took his attention away from the device on his arm.

The second he took his eyes of his device to groan in annoyance, a warning label came up but before he could react to it the armory door exploded sending shrapnel in his direction and destroying the contents in the armory. The door was rigged with explosives set to go off if the door was opened and unlucky for him he was dangerously close to the door. His reflexes dodged the metal shards that would have went through his skull but in doing so some shards landed in his arm and his gut, he did not cry out but he did let out a pained groan as he fell to the floor. "Dammit...took my eyes off for a second, piece of rigged explosive trash!" He angrily swore at the blown up door as he stood back up, not risking removing the pieces of metal from his body without proper medical aid. He would have healed himself, but however he just so happened to leave his medical items back home. This is what he got when he turned his attention to a crybaby. At least he still had his rock and items he nicked from the crates.

Text [ i ] and ' together are only heard by the two cybrogs, as it is over coms, not spoken.

A sound that could only be defined as an explosion ripped through the silence, air vents emptied their contents of dust and mildew into the hallways thick enough it might have been smoke grenades tossed down them instead.

‘ What the hell was that?!’ Sara’s mental shout echoed’ in Mavricks mind.
Never before today had he been more thankful for the combat body than he was now. The noise probably would have caused hearing damage to either one of them, but they were no more worse for wear than they were now.

‘ Sounded like a pound of CB, however deted that’s doing some serious work.’ He answered , shaking off the dust from his gear. ‘ Dust off best you can we might be invisible for all intended reasons, but that dust outlines it’s pretty well.’ he cautioned.

‘ Yeah yeah, We need to figure out who the hell did that and what they are upto, looking at the map the Renev provided shows a Macluan armory by the last access point
. Well the last known they disconnected.’

Wonder if they are still alive, shit was probably bobby trapped


The two cyborgs came to a 4 way cross, one with a sealed door, on the other side of the wall was the group, tho they only had guesses to how many were on the other side. The lighting here was good enough that the cyborgs could still see faint bits of dust on each other, not that they could fix that at the moment.

'Want to make contact with whomever
?' Sara asked.

' I don’t see how it’s any of our business to make contact with them.'


'They might have found some information, after all that place was booby trapped. Hell we don’t even know if they are alive or not. We could just open the door and find what we need and be off.' she said.



'... Fine, but we do this my way first
. If they respond we can attempt to make clearer contact' Mavrick answered. ' I am going to stay cloaked, I want you to beat on the door in morse, Three short, three long, three short. If they do anything stupid when you get that door open , I will open fire and we will fall back to that barricade.'

Moving back away from the door about 5 paces, hiding in a shadow that gave him clear line of sight to door , and gave him a way to cover the dock, no need having someone bite them in the ass. He aimed at the center of the door, ready to open fire.

'Alright, sounds like a plan. 'Sara agreed, with that her cloak snapped off and she was visible again.
She hit the door fairly hard, enough for it to be heard more than likely, three short, three long, three short. It was an SOS , most people should have known that, but if not it was odd enough to get ‘some’ sort of reply from the other side.

After Soulburst came out of hyper space Sin began ordering it's crew to start scanning the large space station in search for the Asphodelian Hive. It is his mission as the leader of the Reaver Core to deal with them at all cost. The hive has been indoor-mint for over 50 years do to not having lifeforms to eat.

"Prince Sin, we have detected 6 humans and 2 cyborgs in the station but no hive yet what are your orders?"

Sin stands up from his command chair and take a look at the 3D-image display in front of him that shows the station

Image

Knowing full while that the hive could awaking at any time Sin went into action, "Have the an team of 10 Reavers and my 4 guards meet me in the teleporter-pads and ready to go when i get there."

With a blinding blue light Sin and his team teleported in the same room where the humans are at waving a white flag hopeing it wont freak them out. Smelling the blood from some of them being wounded in the air he know the hive would awaking soon. "You are in danger being here, The hive may already know your here..."before Sin was able finish his words and large roar sound deep inside the station enough to send chills down anyone's spine.

Her anger quickly got the better of her as she began to speak hurriedly with venom, "You try navigate the Criterion Cluster with 1% of fuel." the fear had vanished for now, instead replaced with rage, "Or how about you somehow raid a quarantined mine colony without attracting attention.... Or how about this dear Russian, stealing core from Prison Planet without anyone realizing where I was... If anything from that loud noise I am far more capable." of course it was bluster, but if it stopped her panicking then was better than nothing. With her retorts back she immediately set about working on the security. Despite her clumsiness and lack of knowledge, Daisy did possess a surprising intelligence. Nonetheless even her tinkering with the console was proving futile. Whoever had coded the entire system had made sure that even if someone got in, they would never get out. Effectively everything was locked down and only flaw in the system was an Auxillery Port which connected to the Generators powering the Space Station.

Even that would be difficult to reach, thus she had to try patch a quick fix in the form of faux identification so the person bypass the doors... Worse from her look at that area there was little light in the area. Daisy sighed outwardly brushing her fringe back while staring the different details. Until it was there. The anomaly it was located on Deck 78 in West Quandrant, not near at all to the Auxillery point... Even now her scans were revealing this anomaly was sending out massive waves, almost overwhelming.

As she scanned the monitors, a teleport sound initiated and out of nowhere there was suddenly a group of people holding white flag. Immediately Daisy reached for her gun, with jobs like this it was utterly illegal. There were laws and this group appeared official, "Just let us go and we will have no problem..." her hand reached back on the panel and tapped a sequence of buttons, her eyes staring at the group.

Although just to add to the drama, her constant scan now picked up two other life forms... wait... not life forms, "This place has been abandoned for hundreds of years... what makes you think this nest is here... the door was sealed..."

Rei was now genuinely confused, and getting more and more annoyed by the moment. "If you two can't navigate your way out of a wet paper bag we're sunk." She groused looking at the pair with disgust. "I don't give a flying fickle finger of fate what you've done little girl, get us out of here or I will." Rei added before the explosives Russian had been giving his now currently divided attention went off.

Shards and shrapnel from the metal doors had made judicious use of the confined space the trio had found themselves in. Coughing as the smoke began to clear, Rei felt something warm trickling down into her eyes. Swearing in some unintelligible language, she plucked a rather vicious looking, but piece of metal out of her hairline. "WHO IN GODS NAME GAVE YOU EXPLOSIVES?!" She asked furiously while grabbing Russian by the shirt collar, so that his feet barely touched the floor. There was obviously something that Rei hadn't told the group about herself, be it cybernetic or other enhancements allowing her to do this with moderate ease.

"Between the two of you idiots I'll be lucky to get out alive! Death and I may be familiar, but that doesn't mean I want to.." Rei started to berate Russian and Daisy before someone or something started pounding on the doors to the room. Annoyance had quickly escalated to anger, and she hadn't had contact with any of the minerals on board. The ragtag team was barely hanging together by a thread, and it was very much apparent by the time the banging on the door started.

"What the...?!" She said as she unceremoniously dropped Russian onto the hard deck of the station, blinded and surprised by a sudden bright light. Rei was beginning to wish she had never agreed to this whole debacle. "Who the hell are you?" Rei asked as she blinked away spots from her eyes, and focused on the new visitors in front of them. She hadn't heard half of what Daisy or the other individual said, her mind as usual out to lunch if whatever was going on wasn't mildly interesting.

But, the noise from within the bowels of the old station quickly kicked it into gear.

If only the party could get more interesting.

Roughly 20,000km above the derelict space station nestled within what could be described as a stellar graveyard. Space itself bent and warped into a brilliant flickering sphere of white that shot forward, and then faded to reveal a 30km long Planetary assault carrier. It was the bulbous hull outline of an Imperial Aschen Reverence II Class Assault Carrier.

Settling into position, debris from the various ships within the Jarrako downs lightly tapped against the hull of the ship, displaced by the spatial distortion as the massive Aschen ship maneuvered into position.

"FTL Jump complete, confirmed sector K-45, Quadrantem Alpha, Onyx. I've traced the Zero-One signals to an installation located here, three nine seven carom two one niner." Lieutenant Sandusky reported as he turned towards Admiral Nash.

"I've confirmed replies from the rest of the fleet, they'll be stationed outside this region of space." He added, handing her the data slate.

"Very good. We have confirmed Zero-One activity in this sector?" Nash inquired, with a nod to the affirmative from her XO.

"Very good, Isolate the station and set condition one. I want marine strike teams ready to board as soon as we get that thing inside the main bay." She said, turning to face the large holographic readout of the station, with DRADIS pulses highlighting the wrecked starships in the area.

Two audible beeps signaled that the DRADIS had picked up something else, the Soulburst.

"Unidentified DRADIS Contact bearing two one nine carom one one six!" The Tactical officer called out, while alarms began to blare throughout the ship's CIC.

Nash narrowed her eyes, as the Helm officers maneuvered the massive carrier ever slightly.

"They're moving in on the station." The Helm officer replied.

"Gods damnit." Nash cursed. "Main batteries alpha through omega, acquire the target and hold your fire."

The massive Aschen ship slowly moved into position directly above the Soulburst, roughly a dozen or so massive Dual-barreled turbo-disruptor emplacements on the ventral side of the ship swiveled to life, adjusting their targeting onto the vessel below. Each discharge from these batteries exuded fourteen megatons on it's target once it fired. However these batteries did not fire, even as they powered up, and the Reverence II's shields flared to life.

From bow to stern, an envelope of light engulfed the massive bulbous vessel, it's computers ran their targeting parameters.

Soldiers moved to their defensive positions as the CIC Crew began to plan their next avenue of attack.

"We need to seize that Zero-One signal at all costs, get me a marine strike force on a Raptor in five minutes." Nash ordered.

Things were just fantastic for Russian, while Daisy the captain began to angrily talk in his ear about things that were rather simple compared to all the shit he seen. Stealing a prison core, raiding a prison planet unseen, Childs play for anyone with experience. Now try fighting your way through a demon infested planet and blood crazed cultists wearing power armour and wielding guns capable of destroying tanks or swords capable of tearing apart mech all with what you could find by yourself.

Now here he was getting grabbed by Rei who thought he purposely set off the explosives. It was understandable that he was irritated with all that was going on, but now he was getting pissed off. Rei who was shaking him and yelling at him made the shards of metal sticking out of him make his wounds even worse. "Are you serious you fucking moron! Like I would purposely set of explosives without warning you stupid lot! The fucking door was rigged and quite frankly the baby captain distracted me. Right now you are being a jackass by shaking me when I am injured here you bitch! And you dear "captain", you try fighting the shit I seen, I like to see you crash land on a demon infested planet with nothing but a simple pistol and survive for a few weeks without getting killed by said demons, blood crazed cultists wandering the planet holding guns capable of destroying tanks and swords capable of tearing apart mechs. I promise you would be dead in seconds!" He yelled at Daisy and Rei until all of a sudden he was let go when another group of people warped in waving white. What was even worse was when his arm device began to alert him when it detected more ships entering the area around the station. "One thing after another...this is why I work with people with brains...money be dammned at this point, at this rate I am more likely to kill my "team" then work together." Russian muttered as his wounds got worse thanks to Rei shaking him and dropping him to the floor.

What surprisingly caught his attention throughout all the madness was the sounds of morse code. A grunt could easily recognise the sound to be an SOS. He would have answered morse with morse but he was injured, bleeding and pissed off at the moment.

Sara paused after the first set of knocks, and heard muffled voices on the other side

Angry, arguing, then a faint buzz
 Something was going on over there


‘ Mavrick, what are the odds of a ship being able to detect us
?’

‘ Fairly slim
 Well for me anyways, you’d show up, if only faintly for organic life since you’re no longer cloaked.

‘ That’s what I thought
 I think we need to---’
She cut off as something roared through out the empty halls, Sara’s camouflage snapped back on and she returned to being all but undetectable, The ships might notice that a once barely visible life form had simply vanished, might have died perhaps?

‘ Lets fall back and wait this out, stay soft
 until we can place the demo charges, and get the hell off this scrap heap. ‘

Mavrick said , covering the door still. Waiting for the door to open still, not that they had made and effort on it.

Sara quietly agreed, and quickly moved about 25 paces back the direction they had come. Once she was in position to watch the door Mavrick followed her keeping his weapon trained on the door til he cleared the intersection, then moved quickly and quietly down the opposing wall Sara had taken. This gave them eyes on the only two directions and attack could come from.


Should anyone come through those doors, they likely wouldn’t notice the two cloaked cyborgs unless they walked into them, and even then they’d have to go out of their way to do such with both of them hugging the walls closely.
Should something unexpected move up on them they'd hold fire until they were sure they were being attacked.

Seth made his way back to the others, only to find far more than he had left.

"Ok, what the hell is going on?" he asked Rei was clearly ticked, Daisy was holding her gun, Russian was holding wounds, which explained the explosion Seth had heard. "I leave for two minutes and everything just gets shot to shit. And who the hell are these people?" he directed his question toward the new comers. "And where's the door you came through? Because the one I came through just locked, and I'm about ready to get the hell off this hunk of shit and cut my losses."

He edged his way over to the cryo-statis pod that he had claimed before everything seemed to go down hill, placing a hand on it. His fingers drummed absent mindedly on the box as he waited for someone to explain something, anything, that would make some of this make sense. The expression on his face wasn't a hopeful one.

Sin let loose a long sigh of annoys,"you need to leave here now before it's to late." ignoring the young women holding the gun at him he looks to his team behind him giving them orders through their mind-link. After few mins his team disappear into the shadows leaving only him and his two body-guards still in the room.

"Prince Sin we have company, an assault carrier just FTL in are sector and have position above us with weapons targeting us and their shields are up."

Without wasting more time than they have Sin order Soulburst to take action through the mind-link. Soulburst is a self-govern ship that runs mostly on AI control. At that moment Soulburst went into action an let loose a large EMP-pulse wave directed at the unknown warship overhead. Soulburst wont be effected by the EMP because it power source is't electric by nature or any equipment the Asphodelian have on hand. After firing the EMP Soulburst proforms a SSJ {Small Space Jump} appearing just behind the massive warship just a few leagues away just to prove a point. Powering up it's Displacement Shields and main-weapons as it waits for warship to make it's next move. Soulburst main weapons are the four large Dark-matter orbs located in front of the ship that able to fire cadence dark energy with the speed of light at any mutable targets.

Sensing the two scouts from the hive hiding overhead Sin walks in the middle of the room to gain their first attack, and just then they drop down to attack hoping to catch Sin by surprise. landing on the left and right of Sin holding short swords they try to slash at Sin neck but they were to slow even so there movement look like a flash of lightning. With binding speed Sin draw his own long sword purrying both of there attacks and slicing one of their head off in one motion, not giving the other one the time to run to report back to the hive Sin extended his left hand and blasted its head with a blue-flame based attack spraying blood all over the place. Putting his sword away he looks at the group of humans and with annoyed voice.

"Gess we have to work together get out of here alive, so can we not kill each other"

The crew of the Reverence II Absolution continued to work tirelessly as the opposing alien vessel made the first move.

The electro-magnetic pulse, like any other energy weapon washed over the shields of the Aschen vessel, from the ventral to the dorsal side, the pulse washed over the barrier and caused it to glimmer a brilliant white for the faintest of moments.

Aschen technology was naturally hardened against EMPs thanks to it's crystal based computer structure, hardened gel-circuitry and quantum positronic hybrid systems.

The EMP was detected, however, even as the alien ship made it's tactical jump behind the Reverence, Admiral Nash was tracking it's every move, a brilliant flashing red icon on a holographic display in front of her.

The sheer size of the Reverence II would make it difficult to maneuver and come about to bear in the tight stellar junkyard, so Nash considered her next options carefully.

"Tactical; aft batteries come about, direct hard-light shields to the aft section, engage and destroy the target." Admiral Nash ordered

Several dozen massive single barrel turbodisruptor batteries swiveled up and about from their recessed positions on the armored hull of the warship. Turning they garnered a firing solution on the Soulburst. AI Assist through the ship's central AI and targeting control came to life as information was beamed all about the ship.

"We have firing solution, rear quadrant." One of the tactical officers reported. "Enemy vessel is powering shields, and weapons."

Nash nodded slightly, all two-hundred and fifty Turbodisruptor batteries were reporting firing solutions. A few salvos would likely be sufficient to collapse the shields of the unknown vessel, a few more would assure it's destruction.

"Main and auxiliary show clear! Batteries locked and zeroed in!" A gun captain reported on the shipwide intercom.

"Planck Packs online and charging, we'll be able to inhibit their jump capabilities shortly!" Another tactical lieutenant reported.

"Very good, engage and destroy; execute." Nash ordered.

----

The Reverence II Slowly came to life, like an angry beast it powered gargantuan weapon systems, it's tactical and combat systems zeroed in on the Soulburst, and finally there was a surge of energy. Capacitors discharged into primary ignition systems, and the ship opened fire.

Turbodisruptors discharged towards the soulburst, each brilliant bolt of green light carrying 14.3 megatons of explosive force, the equivalent of a large thermonuclear warhead.

These weapons discharged in a single salvo, and then began to discharge in a staggered pattern that would wear shields down quickly. The point had been made, the Soulburst was tangling with a ship beyond it's class, and surrender would be the only alternative to destruction.

Glaring she walked over to Russian purposely and raised her hand before slapping him across the face, "I'm clumsy, what the fuck is your excuse retard? There is a reason you don't use explosives on old space stations, most of them were built to sense such disturbances." growling she marched over to monitor just ignoring the others as she franctically typed various details, but as she suspected the explosion had activated inner code, "FUCK! FUCK! Russian if I ever get off here you are being spaced!" muttering she indicated to Rei, "The whole station waking up, everything... but this is bad the core was never meant to last this long... yet something seems to be taking advantage of this surge..." putting her head in her hands she frantically tried to derail anything, but even if the protocol could have been reversed, something seemed determined to keep it going, feeding off the energy...

Letting out an aggressive sigh she tapped the console working on locating the threat. Just as she was doing the whole station shook with the chaos out in space, the escalation evident. Despite her expression growing colder she slammed her hands as the console refused to respond, "I AM LOCKED OUT, SOMETHING LOCKED ME OUT..." just then the consoles all around grew red almost like blood, but even in her worried state Daisy recognized something, "THERE'S AN A.I ON BOARD..." of course she had no idea who it was, she furiously tried to break through, but all she could do was open the door being banged on. Now she was locked out. Daisy was no hacker so in utter frustration she turned to Russian, "If you break through then you won't be spaced... But that A.I it's locked me out and preventing me doing anything else, except minor things..."

Pausing she added, "The core can't take all this power use it's old and was never meant to last this long..." exhaling she turned to the new arrival, "Hey you whatever you are, make yourself useful the whole station waking up which means all security systems will switch on... we need to deactivate the core... I have an idea how to do it, but I won't go on my own..."

"Not if I get there first.." Rei muttered in agreement with Daisy. Russian was really rubbing her the wrong way, and before she could start to make sense of everything again the station shook and lurched sickeningly throwing Rei hard against a console. "What the hell? Of course there's an A.I. on board." She groaned in irritation mildly distracted.Rubbing her now sore ribs and back through her jacket, she turned around to inspect the console near her. This was getting worse by the minute and someone's curiosity was about to kill several people. Sighing, she could see that she was no longer along just for the ride and fun. Rei forced herself to focus, she shoved Daisy out and away from the other console before swearing again under her breath. "Fuck it all to hell... We have company and they sure as hell aren't friendly! It's the Aschen!" She said worriedly.

Rei had a feeling that what they were there for, wasn't the rock but the computer system. "Okay here's the deal kiddo, you're going to take tall dark and creepy over here down the core. While I try to buy us some time.. the system's infected." It was hard to explain how she knew what and why the system was infected, but she had a sure hunch that that was what the Aschen had come looking for.

Looking back over her shoulder at the door, she could have sworn during the all the commotion she'd heard someone or something pound on it.

A series of blasts would strike against the shields of Absolution with no small degree of force, as a black vessel shaped in the general silhouette of a falcon swung into her visual range. The vessel had no distinguishing marks, carried no brand, and was not like any vessel on record. It was the size of a small frigate at only 40 meters in length, but it's unique silhouette and design clearly indicated that it was meant for maneuverability and speed. More curious, the crew of the Absolution would notice that it did not show up on any scanners or sensors. As far as technology was concerned, the vessel did not exist. It's dark coloration and lack of distinguishable features or identifiers clearly meant it was a stealth based vessel.

Whoever the vessel belonged to, they were clearly not friendly, as they strafed the Absolution with weapons fire again. The weapons fire, interestingly enough on it's own, had no known comparason in any database. The blasts were not nearly strong enough to penetrate standard starship shielding. What the Absolution's crew would quickly come to realize however was that the blasts were little more than a side effect. A sort of metalic gel was spreading rapidly on the outside of the Absolution's shielding, and had already covered half of it, essentially trapping the larger vessel in a cocoon of some form. At the same time, four pods ejected from the stealth ship, hurtling straight for the station. These pods bypassed the station shielding somehow before impacting the stations hull.

Inside the station, in the very room Rei and Daisy occupied, a set of four red circles appeared on the ceiling as the pods burned through the hull into the room. Once they had cut through, those four circles dropped to the floor, and through the newly created breaches individuals in a strange dark leather attire dropped through, sealing the breaches behind them. Hoods pulled over their heads, faces wrapped with scarves, their outfits giving the impression of hunters, with dark leather tunics wrapped tight, coattails loose and fluttering from their waists, belts with pouches and sheathes holding knives, swords, and even an axe. Every one of them had a quiver full of arrows on their back, though oddly enough no bow could be seen on their person. Two of them were obviously female, and one stepped forward and pointed at the console, commanding clearly in a strong voice. "Mnyala you take the console, Farii you and Shander take defensive positions, and all of you." The leather clad soldier gestured at the original occupants of the room. "My name is Di'Noa, do not be afraid, we are here to help"

One of the others, Shander, responded to his commander. "Sir, how long until the ship returns." His voice was light and youthful, no more than a couple decades for sure. Di'Noa nodded and said "Ex-fil is scheduled for five minutes, no more."

The station shook violently, but the two cyborgs were hardly phased physically by the violence going on around them. Mavrick took point once the shaking stopped and was quickly followed by Sara.



The two cloaked cyborgs moved from hallway to hallway while covering each corner until they had gotten halfway to the large barricaded area they had passed through before. Sara’s HUD flashed red on the upper right corner. Indicating there was iminate critical systems failure and a to the Ai controlling the system’s regulations and security systems.


Who ever was in the control room now might notice that some of the motion sensors were being tripped , but if they watched the live video feed they likely wouldn’t notice the two moving down the halls due to the advanced cloaking technology. Depending on if their was audio or not, they might have been able to hear footsteps.



“What in the gods name?” Sara asked as she took up a defensive position behind a hastily made barricade.

She began digging through the layers of warnings and code gathering what information she could about the core and the on board AI that was causing issues
 , then something happened she didn’t expect.
For a single moment fear like she had not experienced in many years ran through her mind. Something had attempted to Trojan her system. Thankfully the method of compartmentalization Sara used for digging through other computer systems had kept the Trojan out, out of her mind. Deciding not to fuck with it anymore Sara even disconnected the servers.

“ Mavrick, there is something fucky going on around here. We need to gather the last bit of personal information for the Renev. That old ass core is gonna burn itself out at the rate everything is going.”

“ Can’t you just shut it down?”

“ Not now, The onboard AI did something weird and tried to hack ‘me’.”

“ Hack you? Never heard of an AI doing that
 What do we do?”

Sara’s mind raced for an answer, but there wasn’t a solid one to be found


“ I think a hard restart would work but we gotta get to that core, we can collapse it with the charges to wipe whatever the Renev didn’t want anyone getting a hold off out of existence and we can leave. ‘

“ Good, i’m tired of this place
. Wait, didn’t you say something about teleporting to the planet's surface? “
Sara’s mind reached back

“ yeah there are short range teleportation rings onboard.”
“ Let’s keep that in mind just incase we can’t get to the ships
 “ Maverick said, tagging the location of their ship on his and her HUD. It was at the bottom of the current area they were at about 3 miles away.

“ Alright
 let’s start heading to the main core and AI control center”
And with that , they were off.
