The Revolt of Loxius

[Taurik]

Taurik weaves a calming effect into Zayan's brain.

"I can provide some assistance, if necessary."

[Mark Travis]

Lt. Travis looks around the room.

"Anyone who doesn't need to be here should leave, i promise to call you when its over."

He comes to his patient's side with his tricorder.

"It won't be very long now. Your doing a fine job." Travis was clearly not used to this but was using his best bedside manner.

[Taurik]

By this time, word had been spread of Colonel Woltax's death. Taurik had abandoned the colonel's uniform in the stead of some civilian clothing. He had managed to gather some information on Compound 23 before the military had closed Woltax's access account on the Loxian info-net. The area was highly restricted, surrounded by a 100-kilometer no-fly-zone. This meant he would have to forcibly hijack transportation to make his way there. It took him a while, but he found a civilian transportation center, where there were several shuttlecraft of personal and commercial nature, both large and small. Taurik realized a flight would take too long to reach Zathia, and that he needed to be there very soon.

Using his psionic ability to augment his speed, Taurik ran past the gate guards, and leapt aboard a parked military dropship. He quickly keyed an ignition sequence, but the console gave a negative tone. He bent over to remove the paneling under the pilot's console, and spliced a few wires to bypass the security lockouts. After keying the same ignition sequence, the ships engines roared to life.

Several guards had already made their way onto the ship, but Taurik had already lifted off. Suddenly, he realized he had miscalculated his plan. The compound was sure to have powerful air defenses, and he would be shot down immediately. However, those guards could be his ticket in.

He kept the ship on course, at full speed, until the guards were able to cut open the cockpit door. He then turned around and dropped to his knees as the guards readied their weapons.

"I'm sorry!" Taurik exclaimed, while influencing the guards' minds. "I didn't want to, but they forced me! The rebels forced me to steal a ship for them! Please, don't hurt me!"

The guard grabbed Taurik by the arm and yanked him to his feet, tossing him into the aft troop compartment. "Save it! We'll deal with you like we do all the other rebel traitors!"

Taurik tried his best to hide his contentment as the dropship changed course to Military Lockdown Compound 23.

[Blaze]

*Once Ardeth got to Blazes side*

"Up you go.  Ill follow suit.  Once on top of the wall do a sensor scan and find out where the prisoners are exactly." Said Blaze in a whisper.

[Ardeth Wildcat]

"Looks like that may be a bit of a problem.  My scan is picking up someone moving much too fast to be human, but too slow to have Cybernetics.  I think I may have found that Hybrid.  He was with me when it happened." Ardeth whispered.  He lifted the kids up, and took them outside.  Ardeth growled at them, making them quiet down and stay, fearing the worst of this Cat-Creature who looked so much like the one that had come in with them, and turned sides against them.  Ardeth's soft footsteps had a cat's grace, as he searched for some sign of the Hybrid.  "I remember my Blood Hungers before, but this is ridiculous, even for a Hybrid.  I only killed what I needed to live, couple animals every week, but to kill a human is purely an animal's work." he said, pacing slightly.  He knew he'd never kill a human for no reason, because he knew he was part human.  Though his animal side raged and fueled him with pure hatred energy for a normal increase in strength.

"Whoever did this is more animal than human." he growled out.  The children shivered with fear, seeing this creature who was so reminiscent of the one who murdered their mother.  Ardeth hoped Blaze could handle them.  He'd always hated kids.  Robots didn't normally backtalk, listened to everything, stayed silent till spoken to, and didn't stink.  "If I see that Hybrid, I will lose my temper.  I'll need you, Blaze, to restrain me so I don't go ballistic."

[Blaze]

*Blaze climbed up the wall then jumped down to the other side*

"Hmmmmm, no guards except for that one." Blaze looks around expecting trouble at the almost deserted prison yard.

"Lets go.  They should been keeping the prisoners in one spot so they can be easily watched the lazy bums." Blaze said as the 2 raced across the prison yards to the door that kept the loxian rebels indoors.

"You know anything about busting down doors, or unlocking them.  Scans say this is one tough lock to crack.

[Ardeth Wildcat]

Malcolm hadn't expected this.  "I'll join you, so long as you keep Ardeth and I together.  I wish my revenge against these loxians for their torture of me, locking me in that room without any food suitable for me to eat, and waiting for me to kill off people when my blood hunger peaked out.  The both of us, Ardeth and I, get blood-hungry, but he can control it better.  I don't kill people for fun, but to live."

Ardeth, however, hadn't expected this either.  Ardeth knew his brother was a maniac with a thirst for blood, just from what he'd seen in that room.  He knew, though, that this was brought on by years of whipping and torture.  That's why Malcolm was missing fingers, scarred, and had a bad eye.  Malcolm's ear was also clipped, ruining some of his hearing.  However, he had a super-keen sense of smell.  "Ardeth, are you metallic as well?  Something doesn't smell right about you.  Too much metal.  I know you lost your legs, but I thought that was it.  I see you've still got your tail.  I do, however, know that you have wounds on your arm, unless you are cybernetic from your duels." Malcolm said, knowing he could smell the extra metal on Ardeth.

Ardeth shrugged off the question.  "Your questions shall be answered later."

[Zayan]

*Zayan complies with Taurik's request and grabs on to him with both arms.  With each contraction her grip tightens, cutting off blood flow.*

OFF: we probably have to slow down the story line a bit and let Sanchez and the rest catch up.

[Zaphan]

Zaphan woke to a clunking sound and the bradges Intruder alert signal soung off.

"I don't believe this, intruders on my ship and they didn't even have the courtesy to say hello."

Zaphan went to the Bridge's Armory locker and grabed a Type Compression Rifle and Tricorder.
She headed to where the intruderss were and decieded to place the Compression Rifle on rapid fire, level 6.

She had always loved gymnastics and with her strong athletic body, was very good at it, winning many first placed awards as a young girl.

The Tricorder sounded a proximaty alert, the intruders dimensions were bigger than her but she knew that with her cat-like reflexes could easily take it.
She round the corner where the big intruder was and decided to go through a nearby ventilation duct, although the intruder was fast and obviously a warrior, but Zaphan took him down with the Compression rifle.

Back tracking, the Tricorder indicated an intruder not far from the first, at the other end of the Cargo bay.
She flipped herself up on to the Cargo bays crisscrossing gurders, flipped around many and ran across others.
The Tricorder sounded off and she took out the other intruder after several blasts from the Compression Rifle, no matter even that this next one was a little more agile than the first, with grim determination she took out anymore intruders that were on her crippled but beloved ship.

Panting, but exilerated, she went to the engineering deck to see if she could get the shields up and running, seeing as nearly everything else was offline and irrepearable.

*Another Loxian tank battlion hid themselves behind a hill as a reserve, they moved up when they were notified that the other tanks were destroyed.  They took a defensive position behind a hill and began to barrage the freighter several mortar rounds from the tanks came flying in and the freighters shields began to fail under the constant barrage, Blaze saw this happening and got fed up with it, he picked up his quantum launcher and picked out the most destructive round he carried, <Blaze pets the Round he called Oblivion>, He loaded it up into the launcher and sighted in on the middle tank of the 100 tanks that moved into position, he centered it and fired it on the middle tank, the blast destroyed 5 tanks that were in range.  The Aftermath had 2 effects, 1) destroyed the 5 tanks, 2) started to make the surviving tanks and soldiers begin to get so ill that they couldnt pick up there weapons to fight or control there tanks, several minutes later the Loxian soldiers began to spew and vomit there own innards as the poison ate away at there insides, making them die a slow painful death*

=^= "Blaze to any and all space craft if you have any more torpedoes on board load them up and fire them at these coodinates." <The coodinates indicated tanks on the far side of the hill on the otherside of the valley barraging the Frieghter>
