Date:[CLASSIFIED]
"Log begin; Today has been a somewhat uneventful day I was once again interviewed regarding My memory capacity and intentions for further updating myself I replied with the usual implying that My data was only temporary and as per the second question I said I was... Using the items at My DISPOSAL and that I am looking forward to the next interview as I just A-door our conversations End log." The bright computer screen flickered before displaying a flickering representation of a glowing yellow jackal. "Today was going to be day that I and My fellow prisoners would Get some 'time in the yard'"
-
As..my day go'son..I can hear more noise coming from the jelly's...and then..the walls are breaking and ..I could see..bright light...really..bright light....
-
Galen looked out the sole window of his quarters. This whole deal with the Foundation trying to establish relations with newer organizations was a step in the right directions, but of all the places he could be sent to, did it really have to be Iceland? He sighed, heading to the armored ordnance cabinet which occupied a good portion of the wall adjacent to his other storage compartments. SCP-3437-2 glowed a dim sky blue as he shifted his wings out of existence, simultaneously entering a code into the cabinet's steel keypad. With a click, the perfectly-balanced door slid aside with the sound of polished steel-on-steel. It was his first day as a functioning unit within this site, and he intended to look his sharpest. The combat skin came first, thin enough to fit under other apparel and provide mobility while also generating a basic energy shield. Running the zipper up the center of his chest, the hexagonal nanoweave of the prototype flared for a second as the shields came to life. His medallion glowed once more as his wings came into existence again, the battle skin forming slits to properly accommodate the extra limbs.
-
the creature in the cell woke up, he glanced around the familiar room, a puzzle that continued to outwit him.
Of course most importantly at this time it needed a name... Being trapped with one name for too long was a trap, people would associate you with that name, the name would become a concrete thing that can only mean one thing, locking its potential away. For this reason he would do his bit, provide freedom from any one name, switch it regularly for a new name, or occasionally for an old one...
A new name... Centipede. Doubtless some will look for hidden meaning, but there is none, it's just an identifier.
Satisfied, Centipede crawled to the side of the cell, he glanced out at the people beyond, and tilts its head to the side. Perhaps he would be interviewed today... that would be fun, and give him more information on how to escape...
-
Japathok rested in her cave. The giant ancient bear decided this was one of her lazy days and didn't feel like getting up. Hopefully they won't do any tests or interviews today; she wasn't in the mood.
She rolled onto her other side and huffed.
-
The mantis...was crawling around in the new land..the feel of the air..and smell of fresh air..and the feel of sunlight made it click in joy...but then remember.It's stomach was boiling inside..Sooo to keep him happy he begin to chew on the walls and the grass as it looked around..

SCP-11 laid in the corner, crisscross her body leaned forward and her head resting against the cold floor. Her tail went up and down as she watched the door.
Her claws clicked on the floor as if she was waiting but often did these odd things.
She tilted her head when hearing a noises like a curious puppy although wasn't as kind as one would be.
She waited and waited so curious of this new place she was in.
-
As he placed the rest of his gear in its proper compartments and prepped his weapons, he started to shift to a completely human appearance before he stopped himself. This wasn't Site 48, heck, this wasn't even the Foundation. Tendrils of blue light reached over his hands as they grew pads, claws, fur. Being normal like this would be quite... abnormal. "All in a day's work" he thought, pushing a cylindrical power cell into the dark-grey receiver of his SAR/K and stowing it in the magnetic holster on his back. Stepping out into the armed personnel corridor where his quarters were, he saw the appearance of the site for the first time during daylight hours. White and grey dominated the proffesional-looking interior of the halls just the same as in Site 48 where he had arrived from, but the operatives, agents, and researchers were definitely not from the Foundation. He did his best to not seem astounded as he continued towards the medium-threat wing for today's security assignment.
-
The mantis heard the sound of the jelly's and wanted to know what was going on..So it crawled on a wall to look at through the small window...
-
Walking out from what could be considered the "lobby" of a top-secret facility, Galen reviewed his very generic task of "mid-threat security". "Probably just like a Euclid security role" he said to himself. Looking almost comedically out of place in full battle gear among countless other nonhumans in white or grey laboratory equipment, he headed to the division of the facility reserved for medium threat subjects. Looking into each observation room at the camera feeds of various containment cells, he felt almost at home. Well, if this was a place any person could really call home to begin with. He shifted his wings away to keep from snagging on a passing group of researchers and continued on his way.
-
The mantis looks around in the small view of the window and pokes it with it's hooks...While making a clicking and popping noise..and he's getting upset that it can't go inside the window to have a better look at everything inside..
-
Zaida was up against the door her head pressed against it, watching and waiting. 'What's is this new place... It's so different, I feel weird in a different place' she clawed lightly on the door making a gurgle growl like noise but was definitely no threat but trying to get some type of attention in her dark and somewhat cold cell.
She walked into the middle of her cell and sat looking at the one way mirror, and to the windows on both sides of her cell. Confused but so curious she wanted to explore, discovery, her mind thrived she loved the thought of being on this, planet
-
Centipede crawls up to the camera, and he baps it. Hoping to get some kind of response from the scientists.
-
The mantis.Figures out that in was in a cage of some sort...But what need does it have to escape..it get's food and a real looking cell...but that's it..It's a cell. So this meant that they were keeping it stuck here...Like some type of lose puppy and had no real way of exploring. So like most animals in a zoo..It grew lazy and sluggish..Only really excited when it could hear the noise of other...Things..no...they were not jelly's but instead..something...more...
-
Subject-11 made her gurgle growl louder slamming to the door and huffed through her nose. Hidden in the dark room revealed by her eyes glowing brightly. She paced around her cell huffing allowing her eyes to dim allowing her to disappear in her dark room. She laid on her bed listening. Subject-11 Thoughts grew more and more.
-
The A.I. began pacing in his digital prison before coming to an abrupt stop "Escape plan... Saved" the monitor suddenly looses power and switches off triggering alarms for engineers.
-
Galen watched a monitor as the creature in one containment cell thrashed against the camera compartment within. Unphased from years of living in similar environments to the one he was in now, he continued to walk along the corridor, looking at various cells and their monitors to get a feel for what this facility considered a "medium threat". As of now, nothing looked exceedingly hazardous, at least not to his own wellbeing. Of course, immunity to the effects of most anomalous entities was the reason he was a Thaumiel.
-
Disappointed, centipede moves over to the door, or more accurately, the inner door. it was a vertical sliding door, that rose up into the ceiling, the bottom of the door was a .wedge shape that went into a dip in the ground, perfectly fitting it, air-tight. (Air came in through a series of tiny vents in the ceiling). despite this, Centipede sticks one of its claws under the door, turning it into a liquid as it does, and follows along, seeing if there was a gap in the sheet of metal. There was none.
Centipede sighs, and moves onto the ceiling, examining the tiny vents, small and long, Centipede was not comfortable even attempting to climb out through these, even if he managed it, he would be too exhausted to escape afterwards...
Once again he had no choice but to look at the people working here, and to hope for one of them to slip up...
-
Subject-11 grew impatient wanting something besides staring at the door in a cell she began to slam on the windows and door screeching the hybrid looked around the room tossing things over. "Let me out!~" she gave a Loud groan of frustration but was the first she ever had spoke in the facility and was surprising how loud she had spoke, she slashed at the camera biting down and cracking the screen with her sharp teeth while scratching the walls.
-
As the engineers ran toward the monitor the screen came back online. The A.I. created a wireless connection to the radio on the engineers shoulder and then again to the door panel. "Open sesame" the doors begin opening one by one.
-
The mantis..Get's excited by all the noise around him and try's to find a way out...But the wall's are immune to his acid and no matter how much it attacked the wall's they would regrow in time..so..It pondered with it's tiny brain on how to escape..But them his mind clicked.And it began to see why the walls were tough and when he found a soft spot..He then keep trying to break the wall's weak point even when his own claws snapped and broke...And with in a few hours..a small hole gave in..but it stopped after both arms broke and had to molt to regrow it's arms...Then..It heard it's.call sign...The door opened..and now he'll wait for 10 minutes for it's arms to regrow...
-
Centipede watched both doors open. How painfully dull, the puzzle was ruined... still, there were many more confined creatures beyond, Creatures that needed freeing...
Unless they were also all free, then it's goal would be accomplished without any difficulty, and where is the fun in that.
With a mixture of annoyance, surprise, and excitement, Centipede moves out the doors, and cautiously glances around looking for anytihng that could harm him.
-
Ten minutes go by..and the mantis, with it's new arms comes out and clicks madly with the new...everything. SO it begins to walk around and is full due to it eating some of the plants in it's prison. Then looks over all the new noises and looks for something to keep as...a play thing..
-
Zaida jumped down she tilted her head at a impossible angle cracking her neck before tilting it back, curious she walked just where her door had opened, cautiously looking about. "What is this peculiar facility, why must I be here?~" she asked herself with a soothingly and murring voice as she took a step forward peaking her head out her faded pupils darting around and her ears laid back seeing a few other subjects her fluffy scruff's fur standing up.
-
The mantis looks at everything in awe for a while and then notices a jelly...but the odd thing is..this jelly isn't like the rest of them and is curious about it. So he crawled up to the jelly and gave it a soft poke as it tilts his head and makes clicking and cracking noises...
-
Galen heard the breach alarms sound throughout the facility.
Bringing his kinetic rifle to bear, he rushed to meet the nearest containment cell, holding nothing minus a terminal in the center of the room.
"What skip... what subject was here?" he asked one of the maintenance staff exiting the cell.
"Sentient viral AI." was the response. "Still don't know how it could breach containment. There wasn't anything for it to broadcast over."
Galen was confused by the concept for a moment, before he noticed the radio holstered at the side of the engineer's hip.
Bringing a clawed hand upwards, he smacked the crewman sideways before turning to the door.
"Containment my ass." he responded, hurrying off to address the predicament.
-
Subject-11 flinched afore she gave an expeditious hiss at the immensely colossal insect not quite comfortable with the large claw touching her snout. The alien hybrid tail swaying in its regular pattern, up and down repeatedly not acclimated with the creature. "What are you suppose to be?~" she asked optically canvassing the large mantis with great curiosity keeping a good distance between them unsure what it was or what it was capable of but kept her guard up.
Her ears flicked at the sound of the alarms filled the halls. Although subject-11 didn't know what was currently happening. this same or similar noises alarms went off before at her old facility just out of earths orbit when she broke away from scientist from great fear.
-
The Mantis tries to speak but can only speak in it's weird language,but seems to understand that your not a threat or food so it just watches the jelly.And then looks around and senses that something is wrong..
-
He stopped as he saw two figures in the middle of the hallway. The biped didn't really catch his eye considering it looked similar to several of the researchers in the facility, but it cause some suspicion when he noticed the being conversing with a giant praying mantis. He kept his kinetic rifle at the ready, poised to put a hole in anything that showed aggression in any way.
"Back in your cells. Now!" he ordered, his eye flicking across his HUD to check that his shields and targeting assist were in working order.
-
The Mantis notices the jelly threatening him and stands in front of the friendly jelly and hisses then hurls a ball of acid at the enemies weapon then proceeds to try to claw the jelly...
-
His shields flaring as the acid rolled across his arms and armor, Galen sidesteped to avoid further impact. A hardlight blade held in his right hand, resembling a large bowie glowing a foggy orange as energy cycled through it, was brought down swiftly on the mantis' ragged appendage.
-
It screams in pain and jumps back to hurl more acid and tries to see what you do next..
-
Subject-11 knew that the guard would harm. She have felt the pain before the horrible pain. Sing the large praying mantis defend her, she began to flee. Huffing the alien studied the area. "Where... Where can I go?" She asked herself. "This facility is so new I have no chance..." Turning around she went back behind he mantis snarling and her fur standing up. The tip of her tail swaying back and forth showing aggression, ears laid flat against her head while giving her large threatening snarl. "Do not aim weapons at me"
-
Galen deactivated the hardlight blade, which dissolved into a fine orange plasma as it was stowed, acid flickering down the invisible barrier which covered his combat skin.
Corrosives were nothing to energy shields. It was impact and blast damage that would pose an issue. Considering that the mantis didn't seem to have any C4, the latter probably was not an issue.
Reaching for his rifle again, he restated "In your cell."
His medallion glowed as a fine tendril of blue mist enveloped his off-hand.
Casting it in the direction of the aberration, it dissolved upon contact with the mantis.
It might not have a sane mind, but its speech would be understandable for the time being. If it considered speech a possibility to begin with.
Turning to see the second creature speaking to him, he kept it in the edge of his sight.
In an attempt to prevent further agravation of the subjects, he shifted his position to aim specifically at the mantis.
-
The mantis noticed your retreat.SO It unfolds it's wings and fly's off with Subject 11 and fallows behind.Hoping this jelly knows a way out and it is it's only friend..So it tries to blocks any shots and hopes that the escape comes soon..Then a sudden...shocking it's mind allows the language to become easier to speak.Then in a craky and raspy voice it speaks."I Want freedom and I must know the need world..And now I have jelly friend soo I would rather die then go back in green hell."
-
Galen looked down the magnified optics of his kinetic rifle, placing a single high-energy beam of crimson energy in the direction of the mantis. Shifting his feet to a digitigrade structure to aid in maneuverability, he bolted down the corridor as fast as he could while keeping a steady aim. As the bolt of the weapon auto-cycled, he stowed the weapon and brought his left hand down to unholster his pistol, sending a few shards of orange hardlight down the hall towards the creatures, golden wisps marking their trajectories as they went downrange.
This was his first day here. There was no way he would allow a breach of such a scale. Not again.
-
As the shots hit the mantis it screams and tries to not attack and just escape.."Why must I be here..I never wanted to live my life in a cage!"It takes just one moment to look behind it's self and hurls acid at the floor and in hopes to melt or make a barrier for a moment..
-
Shifting his wings outwards in a flash of falling blue mist, Galen pushes himself over the seething corrosive semifluid before stowing them again. Sending more shards of hardlight towards the mantis in rapid succesion, his hand flicked down to his side, reaching back up to slide another power cell into position in one fluid motion.
Hearing the mangled speech of his target, he replied "You are a hazard to society!"
Switching weapons, he shot another blood-red beam towards the mantis.
-
The mantis can only take soo much pain..It wasn't that the weapons could kill him.but it did hurt like hell soo it stopped moving and fell on the floor.."Run..jelly...And all I wanted to be was...free..."It falls asleep and let's it's wounded body go limp and can't move and let's the world go black around him..
-
Zaida watched this alarmed what was happening the mantis falling unconscious from the Guard. staying in place studying the weaponry he held she had choices but didn't want to get harmed. Hearing what he said she did not understand 'what did I do, society, what society?' She thought to herself before remembering the command he had yelled earlier she walked back and sat just were her cell door was in crisscross, she could just run it was foolish this place she wasn't familiar with the surroundings, along with gaining trust... possibly something else would occur in the future?
-
As new guards flowed towards the corridor, now scarred with various acid and thermal damage marks, Galen cycled his rifle and unholstered his sidearm again. Stepping over the massive insect to look at the Subject who had walked towards its own cell, he gestured towards the entryway as a gentleman might have done so.
"Thanks you for your compliance. I am sure we will be meeting again soon enough. Hopefully under... different circumstances."
Other armed personnel did their best to heave the unconscious mantis into its cell, shutting the cell doors of both subjects.
Remembering that there was a rogue AI in the mainframe, Galen shot another beam from his kinetic rifle, obliterating the control panel to both creature's cells.
"I doubt our little virus will be able to hack his way into scrap metal." he added.
-
Japathok was at first unaware her door had opened, but once she was, she took the chance to step out and look around. She wasn't dumb; she knew this wasn't supposed to happen, so when she saw the guards march in, she backed up and into her cell again. Of course, if she really wanted to, she could charge through those guards, but she figured it wasn't really worth the effort. Compliant behavior meant good treatment, so she won't tarnish her reputation until the timing is perfect.
-
Subject-11 stayed completely silent, barely standing in her cell her glowing eyes a showing her presence... She just looked at the floor with her ears laid back. Her ears flicking at his voice, she looked up her eyes staring before slowly fading into her cell and the door closing sealing tightly shut.
The extra terrestrial sighed in her dark cell walking to her bed and laying down a bit worried for the mantis but was sure it was fine. The subject rested, closing her eyes but not sleeping just worried about testing... Anything but testing..
'Testing...' She cerebrated the word made her fill with emotions... Anger, Fear, Confusion... She hated it. It made her cogitate her rage at the lab... "They deserved it they all deserved it" she hissed lightly. 'I just need to gain trust... Be good' she mentally conceived.
-
Centipede crawls along the ceiling, it observed that most cells were already open, but there were two exceptions... he watches Galen fry the panels one door, and then move away, but it is also drawn to another room, crawling onto the floor, he notices a Cryo-tube inside, turrets and force-fields surrounding it....
A simple locked room is SO BORING, a cryotube looks interesting. Centipede moves into the open door, and watches for a reaction from the turrets, it was time to grant another soul the freedom all deserve.
-
Japathok sat in her cave, eying the open door. Maybe this really is the time to leave. What other chance might she have? She knew the guards had terrifying defenses and weapons for even the strongest of subjects, including herself. She longed for her family--her mate and two cubs, whom she refused to speak of out of fear they'll be captured too. But what good would she be to them if she died trying to escape?
It wouldn't change a thing. It would be the same if she stayed here forever. They would still remain without her.
Japa growled to herself and stepped from her cave.
"Ragraw" she muttered in her rough tongue. I must not be a coward.

-
Centipede crawls over to each of the turrets, he sticks his claws into the inner workings. altering them in a way that they looked fully functional, but did not actually work. Smallest change for the maximum effect.
He then moves closer to the pod itself, and hisses as he hits a force-field. He would need to disable that before he could free the person in the pod...
Another puzzle. Centipede grins, he lives for this kind of thing.
-
Robotic voice sounded out of intercom and speakers inside the room "CODENAME BLACKOUT CELL SECURITY SYSTEM: WARNING, UNAUTHORISED PERSONNEL DETECTED INSIDE CLEARANCE LEVEL 3 ROOM. ALARM INITIALISED. SEC FORCE ARRIVING."
Turrets tried to open fire, aiming at the lizard. "WARNING, TURRETS NON FUNCTIONAL."
Security guards have been informed via radio, that sometime is inside Codename Blackout's room, which is highest priority.
-
Centipede Crawls onto the ceiling... and glances around. "Where are the cables...." Centipede Crawls to the side of the room... "Power source..." The lizard pulls on a panel on the wall, revealing a control panel. "Combination lock... hah." The Lizard forces the side of the box open, and pulls on the cables, hoping to cause the force-field to drop.
-
Japathok poked her head out through her open cell door, checking what or who was beyond.
-
"WARNING. EMERGENCY GENERATOR OFFLINE. PRIMARY POWER SOURCE STILL ACTIVE."
Guards, armed with plasma PDWs and shotguns, rush inside looking for the intruder.
-
Subject-11 listened in her cell her ears flicking. She sat still, her eyes glowing brighter, the tip of her tail only swaying. The alien stared at the open door. she was eager to run out, attack but it was not the smartest idea... She needed to gain trust... Hopefully soon so she can. huffing in the dark cell. 'I must think of a way to escape this prison... One way or another I will get out, but I must be patient' she mentally conceived while listening to her surroundings.
-
Centipede dashes onto the ceiling, he notices an air-vent, too small for a creature his size, but that was not a huge issue, for the moment he flattened himself against the ceiling, looking down at the soldiers.
-
Turrets were still aiming at him.
Guards, looking terrified, looked around nervously for the intruder. They noticed that turrets were pointing at him and they begin blindly spraying that spot.
-
The Lizard vanished into the vent, its body turning to liquid to do so.
A small amount of blood drips onto the floor from the vent... centipede had been hit in the leg by one glancing blow... that was the nature of the free, they had the option to harm, of course, he had the option to hide. Centipede felt slightly giddy, it was caused by using his power for an extended period, he would have to drop out the vent soon...
-
The guards stayed there, triggering whole-complex alarm.
There were some cables inside the vents, leading to basement.
-
The mantis woke up after 12 minutes of pain and see's it's still in the green hell...But at least it saw new things and for once..wasn't alone..Speaking of which. "Yesss...good..I can talk their tongue." He went to different parts of the walls and knocks on them.Hoping that on one of the sides..he'll get a respose. "Hello?...Hello..Is anyone in their?"

Cryo-chamber began slowly opening. Guards are aiming at it, scared out of what's inside.
-
Centipede drops into the basement, feeling woozy.
He hears the Cryopod opening... "Already?" Centipede swore. another ruined puzzle.
-
Inside the basement was a giant... something... that looked like a mobile nuclear reactor, still fully functional.
Cryo-chamber open, showed a posture of a gray coloured hybrid of cat and wolf, cables going inside it's head. It dropped down on the floor, but quickly stood up, removed the cables and turned invisible.
-
Centipede examined the reactor. "probably powers the facility..." Centipede moves to look for any power-cables connected to it, eager to disrupt the facility that had imprisoned him and many others.
Freedom for all.
-
Only cables coming out of it were the ones seen in the vent.
Guards were shitting their pants right now. They are aiming around the whole room, hunting for the contained creature.
-
Centipede examines the cables, and moves over to where they enter the reactor. he quickly unscrewed the screws holding the cables in with his claws, and pulls them out, one by one
-
Lights go out inside Codename Blackout's cell room.
Guards know that they are already dead, but at least they wanted to die with honour.
Making itself back visible, Codename Blackout jumped onto one of guards, laying him down and quickly snapping his neck. Dead. Before another one was able to react, it ran up to him, kicked him in his legs, making him fall down and picked up his plasma shotgun, loadedand ready to fire. It shot his head off. Another one dead. He ran off, going invisible again.
-
The mantis now's that their weapons hurt..but that one jelly isn't around so he can dodge most of the attacks but then came the problem of were it would go..So Instead it's best to stay here and wait for it to be over.Since he'll go and fight then get hurt and be useless...but the urge of freedom was strong..But his fear of pain was to much.So it sat in it's prison and waited..
-
Galen listened to the sounds of gunfire that echoed through the halls.Readying himself to endure another firefight against the monstrosities that roamed the flickering halls, he armed himself, his sidearm in his left hand and hardlight blade in his right, which cast a blazing orange light over the darkened areas of the corridors.
-
Centipede hears the screams above him, and hisses. It was not really his business to decide these things, but it was clear the creature in the pod had decided to kill.
Still, he had his freedom, the guards were also free not to arrive at work, or to choose a different career.
Freedom for all.
Centipede crawls back to the vent, and heads back into the room with the pod.
-
Hearing a creak in the vents which lined the insides of the walls and ceilings, he followed the noise, lacking any doubt that whatever was in the vents had malicious intent.
Deactivating his hardlight blade, he readied his medallion, casting a blue fog of light across his free hand.
Checking the periodic sings designating different sections of the Site, he noticed that he was heading for the High-Threat area. Perfect.
-
Japathok still remained halfway out of her cell, listening to the gunfire. She wasn't sure if she should make a run for it or not. Whatever action was happening seemed to be a good distraction, but may also be a clue of what shall be done to her if she is caught...
The giant bear huffed and began speeding down the hall.
-
Another two guards were standing next to each other. As Codename Blackout walked up to them and turned cloaking off, it began smashing the first one. He was done quickly, so it proceeded to turn around to the second one. The second one began charging at it, so it applied a judo throw against him. It picked up one of their sidearms, to finish them off with a headshot. Dead. Last one opened fire on it, but it quickly hid behind cover, pistol in it's hand/paw.

-
Looking behind him to see what looked like a normal bear thundering through an intersection, Galen continued to track his primary target somewhere in the vents above.
Noteing that the sounds where now close enough for the creature to be just a few meters above and in front of him, he proceded to unleash another swarm of orange prisms from his sidearm, burning numerous holes into the galvanized steel of the conduit.
-
Centipede rushed forward, and flowed into the room with the pod, utterly exhausted, he reformed on the floor, and realized he was in a pool of blood. Centipede panted, and Crawled for the relative cover behind the cryopod.
-
Japathok continued to run, trying to find an exit.
-
Galen followed the target in the vents, which led to a lone containment cell, doors fidgeting as they glitched in a prtially opened position. Pushing them open with a swift, combat-skin augmented motion, he raised his weapon to address the organism standing in the cell, known in professional circles as a "giant **censor** lizard". Shifting tactics, he drew his kinetic rifle to fire a beam of pure, blood red energy into the creature's side.
-
Codename Blackout fired the sidearm it held in a pause between guard's shots, landing it perfectly between his eyes.
It spotted lizard and another guard going into the room. It stayed behind cover, willing to take both of them out.

-
Centipede is hit, the lizard rolls, and hisses, obviously stunned by the beam.
-
Switching once again to hardlight weaponry, a blue haze enveloped his off-hand as he cast a tendril of light towards the enourmous reptile. The Laws of Physics would have their way with it, and although Galen didn't know exactly what the lizard was capable of, it wouldn't be turning him to stone or blasting dubstep and hellfire at him. At least, not for now.
-
Codename Blackout categorised Galen as higher threat, due to being armed. It began aiming and fired within seconds.
AVIAL WarfighterOS
Welcome back, Agent Fluffy.
Remote control via MindTether active.
-
Japathok ran and ran down the halls, charging into anyone that got in her way. She could almost taste the freedom, and once she reached it, she shall do all she can to get back home.
-
Centipede was just aware enough to see the tendril. it was bad news. Centipede backs away, and tries to run, back, hoping to get behind the pod.
-
Shields flaring as bolts of blue-white plasma impacted millimeters from his combat skin, Galen returned fire, directed by his skin's targeting assist. Ducking behind the edge of the door he had just walked through, he drew a small grenade from his bandolier, setting it to flashbang, before throwing it past the corner at the cybernetic's general position.
-
Centipede peers over the pod, watching the firefight.
-
Codenamed Blackout got hit, but didn't feel pain. It covered it's left eye against the incoming flashbang. Staying behind cover, it threw the sidearm up in the air and spinkicked it to land on Galen.
Codename Blackout's personal belongings were stored not far from the containment room. It's powersuit "woke up" and headed to the gunfight, rushing.
-
Swatting aside the weapon thrown at him, which actually managed to take a portion of its shields with it, Galen remembered his original target. Turning back to face the lizards inside the cell, he shifted his wings into existence, using them to push forward a massive cloud of sky-blue fog that had resulted from the shift. As the fog filled the room, Galen stepped out to the doorway, thrusting his blade into the reinforced blast doors of the cell to make a handle to pull them shut. Turning to make a run for the cynbernetic, he put a few shots into the door's console. The techs could deal with it after this hell was finished.
-
Centipede moves over to the door, the door was forced shut, and there was a slight gap.
He could ooze through no problem.
Centipede waits for now, not planning to be shot again.
-
As Galen is gone, Blackout looks for Centipede, turning invisible again.
RC Powersuit stops in the corridor after sighting Galen. It launches two sentex grenades, one to the door and one to Galen.
-
Swatting the mass of light-yellow explosive aside, Galen ducked into an intersecting corridor to his left. Noting another plastic explosive adhered to the door, he quickly drew his rifle to shoot the grenade. As most of the semtex's mass was removed by the red beam, the detonator activated what was left of the grenade, creating a sizeable bang which left a small concave in the thick blast door.
Swtiching to his sidearm as his rifle auto-cycled, he fired into the hardsuit progressing towards him, focusing on the construct's knees as the fragments of thermal energy sped forward.
-
Subject-11 thought to herself She started to growl to herself. She gave a screeching roar slamming to the door and clawing the walls. She began to tear the camera's off slamming on the glass the screech echoing in her cell loudly.
Huffing she snarled. "This facility, why am I here..." She grew a migraine and held her head.
-
Powersuit turned invisible.
-
Centipede tried to ooze through the door, but only succeeded in bonking its head.
*thud* *thud* *thud*
...
"Well shit."
-
Blackout reappeared next to Centipede.
It said something in weird, kinda robotic voice "HueHEhuehuehHEHE You you 'd bettar Ran Raun run... now"
-
Centepide did not need to be told twice, he crawls up the wall, and onto the ceiling, then promptly falls off.
A creature 20 foot long is too big and heavy to crawl around upside down.
-
Blackout follows Centipede, by that time looking at the corpses for any loaded firearms.
-
Shifting his wings outwards again, Galen cast another cloud of haze down the corridor. Av-cam wouldn't be affected at all by the fog, but invisibility didn't prevent the suit from occupying space. As his targeting assist detected the humanoid silhouette in the cloud, Galen shot several shards of hardlight, before reloading a second power cell with a smooth motion, sped up by his combat-skin's autonomy.
-
Centipede was defenceless, Without his powers, trapped in a confined space...
Centipede watches, upside-down and on the floor, as Blackout approaches. "I helped free you..." Centipede states. "And now we are trapped again... all I want for you is to be free."
-
Powersuit became fully visible and, whlie flashing red in several places, it rushed onto Galen and landed it's fist with a several tons power, which would normally send someone to the end of the corridor.
Blackout answered "Dic Dic Dictionary error: Helped ain't a word."
He picked up one of the plasma PDWs and aimed it at Centipede.
-
Centipede shut its eyes. "I wanted freedom for you... Freedom for all... that's all I wanted..." Centipede starts to make whimpering sounds. "I destroyed the turrets, I helped break the field, I BROKE THE GENERATOR!"
-
"Current AI's combat m- m- mode: take no pri- pri- prisoners."
Blackout shot Centipede's leg
-
Shields flaring and shattering from the impact, Galen was sent several meter backwards before halting his trajectory with a flare of his wings. Noting the recharge countdown at the edge of his HUD, he shifted to fullform in a torrent of blue fog. Pushing the cloud forward with an air current from his wings, he charged forwards to tackle the hardsuit to the floor, gripping the armored plates with his claws as he rose several meters in the confined area before crushing downwards again.
-
Centipede rolled obviously in pain. it continued to whimper, it was not going to walk or run anywhere anytime soon.
-
Powersuit's loudspeaker said "Heavy damage sustained, requesting maintenance ASAP.
...
Self-destruct sequence initialised, T-Minus 3... 2... 1..." before exploding.
Explosion was so big, that whole complex could hear it.
While the blast wave was inevitable, Galen was thrown even further and cell's blast door were thrown to the second end of the room. Also walls got heavily damaged.
-
The mantis heard the explosion and his first wall was weak enough to rip apart while the second one will take some time to break away..So it tried to break his door to find a other's to help or things to eat..
-
Centipede watches the door fly across the room, rolls over, and limps feebly for the hole where the blast door used to be.
-
Japathok was alarmed by the explosion and tripped. She roared as she flopped to the floor.
-
As the detonation prompt sounded, Galen shifted back to his previous form to minimize the explosion's purchase on him. His shield, regenerated during his shift and depleted immediately, halted any trauma, but not the resulting momentum. Flaring his wings to decrease speed before slamming into an adjacent wall, the battle-skin's crystaline mesh stiffened to absorb and redirect the impact and any residual blast force. Galen stuck well into the white walls, now plastered with ash and dust, before falling to the floor.
"**censor**." he groaned, joints cracking and alarms blaring through his audio feed as his shields counted down to another regen period.
That took care of the suit, as well as a good portion of this corridor's structure. Taking a moment to let his inner ear equalize to the point of being able to stand, he continued back down the hallway, looking for any potential aggressors. He spotted the mantis, giving it a good glare as he advanced towards it, sidearm and blade at the ready.
-
Blackout rushed out of the blast door, by the way taking what was left of powersuit's left arm, mostly for the grappling hook, and headed to nearest maintenance room with roof access.
-
Centipede watches Blackout dash past, and continued limping, slowly but surely it left the room.
~~~~
A group of 3 security guards emerge ahead of Japathok. "Hey! One of 'em is here!" "125! Quick, we need to secure it!" The three approach weapons drawn, ready to fire if they have to.
-
Japathok pushed herself up and backed up a bit. She preferred not to use her gift, but if she must...
She roared, and electricity bolted from her body toward the guards.
-
The Guards all panic and fire, a barrage of supposedly non-lethal ammo is shot with fairly poor accuracy at Japathok from the guard's assault rifles.
The bolt collides with 2 of the gaurds, and sends them sprawling, the third ducks to cover.
-
Zaida screeched wanting out, she looked around her cell frantically. "There must be a way out..." She growled seeing the vent... She couldn't fit but if she just snapped a few bones there was surely a way to get through.
She hissed her eyes glowing brightly, digging her claws on the walls or tried sliding a bit but began to climb up, struggling but grew close to the vent leaving scratches and a bit of her black blood smeared across some parts.
-
Japathok attempted to dodge out of the way and run past the guards as soon as she released her attack, but one of the shots hit her on her rear side. She roared and fought through the pain as she continued to flee.
-
The lone remaining guard fired at the bear as it fled. "COME BACK! DAMN IT! COME BACK NOW!!" Swearing, the gaurd crouches by his dead friends, and checks their pulses, one of them was dead. He radios ahead "Seal the northern entrance, you have 125 on her way, I repeat, you have a giant **censor** lightning BEAR on route, SEAL THAT GOD-DAMN ENTRANCE!"
-
Watching as two smoking bodies careened through an intersecting corridor, Galen changed objectives, considering the ease of captuing the mantis a second time in these confines afterwards.
Skidding past the remaining guard before continuing his pursuit of the bear he had seen earlier, he ran at speed, sidearm readied if the animal proved hostile.
-
Centipede limps forward, and collapses. passed out on the floor. its worth noting that its front right leg was virtually gone.
-
Japathok continued running toward the northern entrance, panting, even more exhausted from using her power. She rammed into the sealed door, desperately trying to break through.
-
Galen noticed that the bear has reached the end of the hallway, blocked by another blast door. Starting a sprint towards the bear, he carried his hardlight blade in one hand, and a blue haze in the other. He would secure this facility.
-
Japathok panicked, knowing she was about to be caught. She charged and shot electricity at the door in hopes it would break it somehow.
-
Projecting a tendril of mist towards the bear to allow speech, Galen asked the bear "So what is your motive?" as he progressed further.
-
Japathok, with the rest of her energy spent, collapsed. She feared to tell Galen the truth. It could mean harm to her loved ones.
"My... My home... my family," she admitted. "I must return to them..."
-
Galen paused for a moment. Operatives were effective, but considering that this subject was contained not for being a hazards, but for simply an anomaly, he remembered several similar events years before. Walking past the exhausted bear, he stood before the blast doors. Igniting his hardlight blade, he plunged its energy blade into the metal, slowly slicing away each individual locking pin over the course of a minute. Sliding the door to either side with a groan, he looked once more at the bear before running towards the more important dangers present. He would deal with her later.
-
The mantis now know's it's plan to escape..so by hearing the sounds of the guards and the gunfire now now's were it's prey are..But trying to hunt that many would be risky and stupid.So it tries to go as far away from it's cage and away from the jelly's.. No not being able to squeeze in small rooms or fly it needed a court yard or something like that.So "Running" As fast as this thing can it goes to find a way out,and if any of the jelly's get in his way.He just swats them out of the way.He wants to eat or kill the jelly's..but being out and trying to help other..........ally's is better then being in a room that he can only come out if being stabbed or shoot at..Sooo no....Now he knows that one jelly...hmmm."I'll call that one flare gun.He won't be as easy to injure..now back to what was on hand." So being big target in a small hall is hard and not much room to move about so he had to really move it and look for a window or a really big yard to open sky..
-
11 tried to open the vent but was a fail it seemed to be sealed also, someone or something already tried this, she screeched before pausing in the middle. The alien hybrid thought before cooling down, there was no reason the other subjects were getting captured, hurt why risk it, slowly back down, she fought herself what to do as she paced around the cell.
"I can't stay here, I must be free... They'll hurt me, they always hurt me..." She hissed. "I must think, think...." She huffed stressfully.
-
Blackout stopped the search, as the only roof access ladder was outside, and began looking for a ceiling window, still invisible.
-
Z clicked the screeched loudly in her cell anyone on nothing near would have a painful ring in their ears.
"I can't! I can't!!!" She screamed looking at the vent with her faded eyes, before they went blood shot she shook her head. "I will escape. the hybrid scratched up the wall to the vent, knowing it was sealed she began to pull and slash her paws bleeding, her black blood smearing, she began to cut open the vent the sharp edges cutting her around the hands and wrists, there was no pain there was too much adrenaline was in her body... Subject-11 wasn't going to stop. The vent door fell off clanking as it hit the floor. Turning her head so her eye can see in the vent she huffed. "Finally~" her right shoulder, and arm cracked. Half of her ribs, and both of her legs... All the bones broken except her neck, head and a bit of her torso and hip.
Squeezing in the vent, she crawled leaving her cell behind trashed with camera's, blood, and everything was thrown around and destroyed.
-
Japathok peered at the opened door, whimpering as she attempted to slowly crawl through, pain pulsing from her bullet wound. Her rugged body could shrug that off, but she had no energy left and had to give in. She had overcharged her gift. She would still get captured if she continued in this condition.
She failed her family, and she disobeyed the agency. Punishment awaits...
-
Centipede groaned, and started to wake up, surprised to find himself still in the corridor.
He looks at his missing leg, easy to fix now he has his powers back... he climbs to his feet, and slowly turns his tail into a liquid.
-
A ceiling window in a middle of one of the corridors broke.
-
Centipede let its tail flow to its leg, the tail shrunk, but the liquid healed the leg, after only a few seconds it was good as new.
The downside was that the lizard was now hungry, there must be a kitchen or something around here somewhere...
-
Blackout turned back visible on the roof, outside. It felt free, at least partially, because it still had to flee unnoticed.
It saw a helicopter heading here. Possibly army.
-
The lizard glances around, Everyone seemed to be already free... its work here was done.
It skipped and bounded up onto the ceiling, and searched for an exit.
~~~
At the northern entrance About 8 Guards Emerged beyond the open door, and 3 more arrived behind the pair at the door. The leader of the group yells to the pair.
"OK WE HAVE SEEN ENOUGH! BOTH OF YOU GET DOWN ON THE GROUND. NOW!"
The ones outside had loose-fitting uniforms, hastily put on, obviously they had been off-duty.
"So was that your plan. SCP? Smuggle the bear back to your people? You probably caused this damn breach you sick asshole."
-
Jacob stepped out of the elevator as it reached the bottom floor, a look of aggrivasion on his face. He hated incompetence, and the fact that this incident has not been resolved yet only proves the incompitance of this facility and its staff. The brass upstairs is pissed, so now its his job to regain order over his block. And he would regain order. The room Jacob entered was blaring with alarms, red flashing lights indicating both a breach and a power shortage. The fox walked over to a blinking console and linked his power armor with it, his HUD displaying the status of the cell block.
Warning: Containment breaches in sectors 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6
Cameras 4, 6, 7, 13, 17, and 18 are offline.
Warning: Power shortage in sectors 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6
Warning: Blast trama in corridor D3, requires immediate maintenance.
Hacob sighed as he disconnected from the status, accessing the PA system instead. "Attention, this is Block Leader Hail speaking to all remaining personal. Be sure to use NON leathal ammunition. The Brass dosent want any of the subjects killed."
Stepping away from the console he started down a hallway, slipping his FAL off of his back and readying it in his hands.
-
Surrounded by armed guards, Japathok remained on the floor, too exhausted to move. The giant bear regretted wasting her energy on the sealed door. If she had waited, she'd have enough to escape. Foolish.
-
Looking back at the guards blocking his path, Galen responded "I am the one who has been preventing further breaches. However, this one is an exception to my standards. She is not a hazard to society, only wanting to return to a discreet life. Anyways, from the looks of you Site's current integrity, you are all unfit to contain the creature you hold here."
Advancing towards the guards several meters away, he ordered "I will continue my work, or you will all be dead within the next few hours without my assistance."
-
The Gaurds back away slightly, except one, a blue wolf who looked unfazed. "Stand DOWN Galen." He states. "Before we are forced to shoot ya." The wolf smirks. "Your right though, we really were incompetent with this place..." The wolf hears something over the Radio. "Understood Hail."
The wolf grins. "If you plan to work with us, then you will help us get the bear back to a cell, and deal with the rest of the crap we have to deal with, If ya think we should let the lighting bear that just MURDERED one of our men out, then do it through official channels..."
The wolf pauses, then his smug grin twists to look a little cruel. "Also... between you and me, I think the foundation discovering this COULD ruin your life a little. even if it was their idea as a cover, there is no way they could ever ADMIT that."
~~~
The lizard crawls onto the roof, and glances around, breathing in the fresh air.
-
"I do not work for your organization. I am loyal to the Foundation. The bear leaves. It killed for its own desire to return to its family, something many of you might do under similar circumstances. The man who died will be grieved for, but his death was a mere accident compared to what will come. You should grow accustomed to people dying in this line of work. Now, stand down. If you have questions about my actions, discuss them with the higher-ups before you start a war with a worlwide militant society much stronger than your own." replied Galen calmly, continuing to move towards the guards.
-
"I have just recieved orders not to kill any of the Subjects..." The wolf fires into the ground ahead of Galan. "You ain't one of our subjects, and if I kill you, Well... containment breach. Mistakes were made."
"You hold still. Or I the next volley enters your skull."
-
The Foundation would surely take care of these anomalies in a proper fashion. These guards would be unfit for duty in any other scenario, hell, this entire facility paled in comparison to the capabilities of even the most basic containment sites. This wasn't an organization. This was a liability at best, one which had to be acquired by the Foundation to reach any form of secure operation. These people in front of him were preventing that security.
Shifting his wings outwards to blind his adversaries in a cloud of sky-blue, Galen rushed forwards, kicking the wolf to the floor to place a hardlight shard directly into his forehead as he hit the linoleum floor. Standing up to land a kick into the adjacent guard's chest, he quickly leapt for cover behind the edge of an intersecting corridor, checking his handgun's ammo before continuing.
-
"Can't argue with you the~" the wolf is abruptly blinded and knocked to the floor, he feels the shard... its the last thing he ever feels.
Behind Galen the three fire at Galan, except the middle one opts to use a taser. He was the same one who survived the bears attack... he hits dead on.
-
The stun gun impacts Galen's shield, starting to steadily drain them at an alarming rate from the prolonged electrical current flowing over his combat skin. Yanking the wires out as bullets shatter his shield, he supressed incoming fire as he dove into cover behind another corner, waiting for the regen counter on his HUD to tick down. He readied a grenade, setting it to impact detonation, and waited.
-
Japathok struggled to understand what was being said, for her grasp of English was poor, but she understood that Galen was trying to help her.
She slowly stood herself up.
-
"FORGET HIM! SECURE THE BEAR!" one of the three gaurds grab at the bear's collar, and tries to drag the bear back into the facility.
"Stay near the bear, The murderer won't risk hurting it..."
"This is delta unit A to Hail. SCP-3437 has gone rogue, it attempted to break subject 125 out. we should contact the Foundation with its betrayal."
-
Subject-11 crawl in the air vents. The alien dragged on her bones cracking slightly more as she did, slowly listening as she past over cell's, some shots were heard but didn't concern. Her. The hybrid stopped slamming open the vent and fell down, slowly snapping in place and her muscles, veins reattaching. "I will not be locked up..." She looked over to a rhino guard aiming at her. "Aren't I glad to see you..." She hissed giving her threatening smile, her teeth moving oddly about as she hissed and gave a gurgle growl.
-
Galen considered that his report back to the Site would be a lot more extensive than he had anticipated. This was just another unsuitable facility that the Foundation had chosen to ally itself with. Threatening an operative was punishable on a severe scale. Galen had simply carried out the sentence a bit faster than the Board would. It wasn't like this hadn't happened before.
His shield generator hummed as it came online again. Drawing his kinetic rifle, he turned the corner to put a beam on crimson into the center-mass of the guard holding the bear's collar. Priming the grenade he had held a moment before, he threw it directly at another soldier. With luck, the blast would not pulverize the bear a few meters away.
The bang that came after was uncomfortable to say the least.
-
the guards was pulverized, the one holding the collar went flying, the final one, once again the survivor. realized there really was just one desperate chance for survival, it runs behind the bear, and leaps at Galan with a knife, hoping to catch him off guard, and plunge it into him.
-
Seeing the final survivor turn to dive at him with a knife, he attempted to beat the assailant out of the air with his wing, drawing his hardlight blade as he did so. The energy weapon ignited with a clashing hiss, flashing into life with an orange fog.
-
Japathok charged and whacked the guard with her clawed paw. As far as she could tell, Galen was her friend and ticket out of this prison.
-
The survivor crashed to the ground, and drives the knife into Galans foot, before rolling to try to avoid the blade, only to get slammed by a claw. suddenly he found himself with a giant bear, and a magic mass murderer, with no weapons.
His good luck had come to an end, he shuts his eyes and waits for death.
-
Realizing that there was a blade protruding from him foot, Galen gritted his teeth as he removed the dark blade from his boot. Red with his own blood, he dropped the knife before drawing his pistol. Checking the weapon, he shot a shard into the guard's leg, just above the knee.
His foot hurt with a pulsating fire as the floor beneath produced a small pool of red.
-
the survivor, a Koala, yelped. as his leg was shot, he looked up fearfully at Galan. "You... you planning to kill me?"
Now Galan had a good look at the Koala he was short, fairly thin, he did not look like guard material at all. and yet he had survived the breach, and so far had survived him...
He stared up, in agony, but also hopeful he might just survive today, more than he could have said for the rest of security.
-
"I intend to remove the threat. You aren't one, at least unless you choose to attack me."
Looking around as he responded to the remaining guard, he listened for signs of further turmoil in nearby corridors and chambers.
-
"What are you planning to do with me then?" The Koala asked.
-
Jacob heard the soldier, letting out a long sigh and rubbing the bridge of his nose. "And things just get worse." He opened a comm channel to
Galan. "3437, this is Hail, what the hell are you doing?" He continued down the hall, his eays twitching to the sound of a firefight. "Do I have to come over there and break you assholes up?"
-
Subject-11 had been shot a few times by the guard but quickly had tackled the large rhino attacking like a feral animal as she pushed the gun against his chest to avoid further damage to her, as her tail wrapped on his legs to keep the guard still giving her a higher advantage.
The alien bit the neck although she thrashed her head as much as possible trying to get through the armor before her teeth started to dig into flesh. visions flashed by in her head having her put more pressure. she let the rhino go as it seemed the blood lose had caused the furry to go unconscious as he bled.
-
The mantis after running and avoiding trouble has finally got lost and smeell's a werid."Hmmmm this jelly..." He cralws and see's a rhino get murdered and looks at the frelly... "Ahh it's you..well Iv'e been running around and found nothing..as for you?" He looks at the rhino and proceeds to devour it and his gear.."Hmmm..this jellies flesh is rich and filled with fat."
-
"You bastards better break it the **censor** up..." Jacob stopped as he came to an intersection, looking down it to see two subjects standing over the body of a dead guard. His armor did a scan of them and brought up their files, but he already knew who they were. Jeeping his rifle to his chest, but ready, he began down the hallway, slowly approaching them. The fox knew subject 11 could be somewhat reasoned with, so a diplomatic approach would be best. The mantis though, that was unpredictable. "Subjects 24 and 11, please return to your cells immediately." He said, keeping his voice calm and non threatening.
-
The mantis looked at the jelly and tried to use his head this time."Why should I? So you can stab me with knifes and trap me in a box! Plus I never have any friends in their.So tell me why I should?" The mantis folds it's claws and ruff's it's wings..
-
The subject bled from her nose slightly having a black goop slowly slide down her fur and her neck cracked to turn to the guard her pupils constricted as she grew with anger. She imagined the lab, a scientist. However in reality it was Jacob, hissing with her horrific smile. She opened her mouth slightly to speak but her teeth chattered and her throat moved slightly while the subject gave a threatening gurgle growl, the red blood from the rhino dripping down her mouth.
Standing she turned her body around, cracking was heard until she Alined with her neck and head. The alien huffed from her nostrils and tail whipped up and down.
-
To a normal person, subject 11's body distortion next to a giant praying mantis would be a thing from some hellish nightmare, but Jacob had been through it all before, it came with the job. He stopped half way down the hall, still wanting to try a diplomatic approach, but not wanting to get to close. It was clear they had no intent to play nice. "I dont make the rules subject 24 I just follow them. Now please, this is your last warning, return to your cells." At his last words, metal came up from the neck of his suit and enveloped around his face, forming a helmet that glowed a slight blue. His FAL kept to his chest, but his finger twitched along the grip.
-
The mantis's eyes glow red and then green..he shakes his head and closes his wings and looks at the ground.Knowing that he had no intent on letting them go.. "Fine..I will...But I will only do so If I can have someone to talk to..I don't care if it's from some tech..But I just want some company..something to keep me sane." He turns around and his antennas twitch..
-
"Or what your going to hurt me like they did...." She growled. "Treat me like some animal, testing that's all they did to me" She hissed coldly but sounded somewhat soothing. "But you all don't get it, the pain, fear... I escaped, was free until this facility captured and locked me up again?...how long?" Her calm voice said to the furry. Her tail wandered on the floor seemingly to grip the dead guard's weapon... Some type of rifle but did not Matter 'As long as it's loaded' she thought. Keeping the weapon hidden hm behind her while studying Jacob 'his armor gives an advantage... My collar, not activated... But I can at least try to do some damage to this scum'
-
The mantis can sense the rage of his felly.."Soo what's your plan?" The mantis turned around and it's eyes glow red and unfolds it's wings and spreads it's claws out. Knowing that two on one is easy plus..he doesn't worry about running away and the meal helped to regain his stregth..And why would he let his felly be in pain.. He knew what it was like to be treated like a fea---- wait ...I am on..But now he'll won't let this stop him.. >:(
-
Blackout, still invisible on the roof, watched as the army chopper was coming closer
-
The fox let out a growl, it seems he was going to have to fight and take both of them on, a situation that called for stims. "Inject Serum 1" He said, his voice followed by a hiss as his suit injected a purple liquid into him. Jacob had never had to use the stimulants before, but he felt great. Lighter on his feet and a bit strong, ready to fight. "If youre both not going to play nice then Im going to have to put you to sleep." Grinning under his helmet, the guard raised his rifle and shot off a volly of tranquilizers.
-
The mantis's intisnt's took over and used his claws to block them..Since they don't go to his blood stream and lays a lind of acid on the floor and go's to swipe at your feet.."Well jelly..I wish if you understand from my point." He crackles,...
-
The subject hissed walking back and forth between, huffing with anger. "Of course... Just like my old facility... I'll bring you to the ground, and let you burn" She grabbed the gun from her tail, holding the shock rifle, aiming she began to shoot the guard while charging forward with a snarl and her eyes focus on nothing else but the guard, although was extremely careful knowing he had a greater advantage of taking her down than the mantis.
-
Army transport chopper arrived and 6 units jumped out of it, looking specifically for Blackout.
-
"Sooo tell me felly..."*it turns it's head slightly to Zadia..."When we both get out of here...what is your plans ." He sways and tries to grab and crush the enemy...
-
Jacob acted quickly, syomping down on one if the mantis's arms, pinning it to the floor. He was about to deliver a blow with the butt of his rifle to the specimen, but was pushed back by a rain of weapon fire. His suits kinetic barrier obsorbed most of the damage, but another burst like that would break it. Acting quickly, the fox grabbed specimen 24 and pushed him between him and subject 11, switching clips and unloading rubber bullets into the mantis to back him up. Fighting close and long range was a disadvantage, he needed them together. "Inject Serum 2" he yelled, followed by another hiss.
-
The manits was not having any of this and proceeded to ram/bum rush right over him and went to go grab his leg's. "Please..this would be a lot easier if you stop firing your weapons." He growls and hurls acid onto you..
-
Subject-11 Rams into Jacob using her tail to grabbed his arm slamming him down as she ran past him quickly, the alien slid to a stop turning back, and continued to shoot the shock rifle towards his back snarling slightly as she did, trying her best to avoid injuries or the tranquilizers. She stopped before looking at the generator and shooting with the shock rifle, although it would be off just for a little bit it would give her an advantage or she hoped.
-
Jacobs muscles pulsed as the stim took effect, seeming to grow bigget, the suit growing with them. The acid eroded what was left of his suits kinetic barrier, and his eletric generator sparked and fizzed when the bullets slammed into it. Warnings flashed across his HUD showing damage and overload of his generator and shields, but he managed to stabilize them enough to function. "No, it would be easier if you stopped resisting." He said, reaching out and grabbing the mantis around his neck, spinning him around and throwing him down the hall into subject 11. The fox charged forward after them, pulling out his tazer and shoving it into the aliens side.
-
Hearing a voice over his TAC-COM tagged as Jacob Hail, Galen responded to the bleeding guard "I will not do anything more against you. You just stay out of the line of fire. You friends should've known better than to theaten me with execution."
Sounds of gunfire and the yelling of the soldier he'd just heard over his comms echoed through the halls as he drew a nickel-plated 686P from his abdomen holster.
"Just in case someone gets to you before the medics." he said, tossing the combat magnum into the guard's lap before running as fast as his bleeding foot would allow. Stopping for a second to shift his bloodied digitigrade feet to plantigrade, quickly accomodated by his adjusting combat skin, he continued onwards. The hardlight shard had started to sublimate from the guard's leg in a dim orange haze.
-
The gaurd looks up at the bear... "You... but..." He glances down at his leg. Still can't move it... only got a magnum...
"just go... I can't stop you."
-
Japathok examined the hardlight shard curiously, then looked at the guard, feeling sorry. She did not like to hurt others and knew the guards were only doing their job. She only wanted to go home.
-
The hybrid screeched loudly with pain her ribs cracking and slightly twitching as a possible spasm from the taser, hitting the guard away with her tail. the lights still out possibly for a few minutes left. Subject-11 hissed at Jacob before the hiss faded in the darkness sounding as her voice came from all directions and her bones were heard cracking. "I'll make sure to have you suffer like I did" she gurgle growled quietly, growing closer her claws scratching against the floor. By surprise she pinned the guard down slamming repeatedly to the floor using all her strength that she could and biting the arm that held his taser and thrashing, hoping me to get her razor teeth to cut through before the extra terrestrial finally felt some fur her teeth lightly scratching his skin, one paw on his mask and the other place on his chest while holding him down.
-
The gaurd looks up at the bear... "...Why are you still staring at me!? either kill me or go." The Koala states. He pushes himself against a wall with his hands, and checks the magnum is loaded. Yea... fat lot of good this thing will do against the things we keep here.
-
Turning a corner to see two subjects beating the life out of what looked like Hail, Galen half walked, half ran as quietly as he could towards the dark blue creature slamming the guard against the floor. His weapons remained holstered, save for the unignited hardlight blade emitter in his right hand.
-
The giant bear walked closer to the guard. She spoke in her deep, rough voice, struggling to speak English words.
"Pir-pirease n-no scare..."
-
Fout presses himself against the wall. "what... do you mean?"
-
Japathok lowered her head, trying to look as non-threatening as possible.
"No scare... I sorry... I like no hurt who no hurt for... bad reason..."
-
The Koala stares in disbelief "Are... are you trying to say sorry... after k~" the guard stops himself. He looks down at his leg. "Well for what its worth... I am probably dead... as dead as dead can be, however good this gun is it... it can't help against the things in there..."
-
"I sorry. I like no kill. I want homes why I do."
Japathok looked at the busted door, then down the opposite way, where action was clearly happening.
"Things here danger, that why keep here, ya?"
-
The Koala nods. "Very dangerous... many will die now they are free..."
-
Japathok thought for a moment then huffed.
"... I help. I try help keep them in place, then can leave, ya?"
-
Zaida continually thrashed the guard around. her claws slashing his uniform as she drooled her faded pupils constricted on hail not wanting to give up, she was determined to be free even if it meant to attack others, either way she enjoyed it.
-
Getting well within melee range, Galen almost activated the blade's igniter before reconsidering. He would try a less-than-lethal approach, at least until there was no alternative. He stowed the blade emitter, yanking the creature atop the guard upright with his left hand firmly set into its shoulder, before inflicting a single, armored, combat-skin augmented punch directly to the creature's face. The force was enough to actually make his shield deplete slightly, releasing a flicker of electricity which pulsed across his arm as he made impact with the Subject's skull.
"I don't know what SOP is around here for subjects grinding operatives to a pulp, but where I come from, we react quite decisively."
Drawing his blade emitter now, he thumbed the switch for the igniter, releasing a dim haze of light which coalesced into the dawn-hued blade wtih a hum and a crash of energy. He waited to see what reaction he would get, and hoped that the guard on the floor hadn't been rendered combat-ineffective by his wounds.
-
Z stood up cracking her bones and her literal spine rising a bit seeming more sharp, and her teeth barely blood on them not getting a good bite on hail, She hissed. She screeched the lights turning on in the facility. Huffed heavily the subject walked back and forth the migraine back from the pulse of energy that was just minutes ago hot to her skull black goop driving down her nose lightly as her veins in her eyes were showing black a bit, shaking her head.
Her legs shook a bit but claws stayed out and she still gave a threatening snarl while giving off gurgle growls. Although she did want to attack the electricity had gotten the best of her making her hands grab the side of her head and she shook trying to ignore the pain, she huffed getting on her knee's panting tiredly.
-
Watching as the creature screeched at the lights and the impact of his punch, Galen stepped forward to finish what he had started.
"You will return to your cell as you were instructed prior to your second breakout. Otherwise, you will be forced to submit." he ordered, drawing his hardlight pistol with his left hand.
-
"No..." The subject still breathed quickly before running at Galen before lowering her head going under his lefts arm, her tail grabbing his fist before she leaned forward but last minute she turned her weight to the side having the guard fall on his side as she tried to pry the gun from his paw while her tail began to wrap tightly around his waist. "I'm not going back to being locked up" she hissed as she struggled.
-
Losing his balance in the sudden impact, Galen slashed at the Subject's hands and arms with force, quickly changing targets to focus on the creature's tail, delivering a single, decisive blow with his prismatic blade of heat and light, directly where the appendage held his waist. Holstering his pistol, he shifted to a fullform before ramming the Subject against a wall and ripping at its center-of-mass with his claws.
-
Despite the pain she clawed at his neck trying her best to win this, although little by little she began to grow weak not that this was making her strength decrease though her head. She couldn't focus, her vision began to go blurry, and she grew weaker by second trying her best not to faint. The Subject hissed hiving her final heavy breath from her nose, small amount of blood splatting out before she went slowly unconscious, her body limp and still.
-
The Koala thinks for a second. I am almost certainly going to die without help... And Though I can't guarantee the bears freedom...
The Koala nods... "Yes... I... I will try... and otherwise many will die"
-
Japathok nodded and began running down the hall toward the other subjects.
-
"WAIT!" The Koala yells. "WHAT ABOUT ME!!" The Koala sighs, and looks down at his gun...
~~~
The Lizard was watching the helicopter with great interest, he could just about see Blackout also on the roof...
Really everyone was free, Centipede wondered about getting on the helicopter himself, but with the cyborg thinking the same thing it was probably best to find another way out.
-
Jacob sat up, his helmet retracting back into his suit. "Thanks, but I would of handled it. I was trying to find a way to detain the subjects without hurting them, but I guess a punch in the face is what she needed." He got up and grabbed his FAL that had scattered across the ground, pointing it around. "Now we need to find the other subjects."
-
Blackout was slowly running out of power, still watching.
Army guys were slowly walking together. One of them shouted "Remember your properties and use live ammunition."
-
Japathok ran back toward the koala and stopped in front of him, embarrassed. She lowered herself to the ground.
"Sorry. On back."
-
The Koala grabs onto the bears fur, and pulls himself onto the bears back, pulling on the fur a little as he climbs. "Sorry..."
"I'm... you can call me Fout by the way..."
-
"Fout," Japathok said, nodding. "I Japathok."
When Fout was properly set on her back, she ran back toward the chaos.
-
Fout clung on, not sure how to react to being carried by a giant bear.
-
Army's chopper flew away a little, but still stayed in sight.
Blackout decided to walk down from the roof.
-
The lizard follows Blackout from a great distance, not wanting to get too close.
-
Blackout jumped off the roof, hitting the ground. His cloaking went off, due to lack of power.
Chopper spotted him and army guys got notified.
-
The mantis get's up and see's the jelly hurt his friend and proceeds to garb and slam Jacob into the ground and has bright red eyes staring into his.."You will die if it's the only way that I can know the outside world!" He buzzes loudly and takes your hard light pistol and quickly devours it...
-
A roar echoed as the giant bear charged into the scene, glaring at the mantis.
-
Fout also glares at the mantis. "GET OFF HAIL!" Fout readies his gun
-
The subject laid on the floor still panting while being unconscious. Visions flashing by from her past making her snarl and twitch a bit. Still lightly bleeding from her nose and her eyes fluttered a bit trying to see what was happening but her vision still fuzzy she closed them and tried to relax and save a be of energy, knowing this would lead to some kind of punishment of some sort
-
(Hallows character has the hard light pistol, not mine)
Jacob grunts as he get slammed to the ground again, not worrying about hurting the subjects anymore. He would do whatever was necessary to detain them. He grabbed the mantis's head and slammed it hard against the wall next to them then quickly flung it the other way and rolled it off of him, rolling with it and pinning it to the ground. "You will STAND DOWN 24." The fox growled, pulling a shock restraint from his belt and sticking it onto the mantis's back. Two tethers extended from it and wrapped around its arms, restraining it back.
-
Zaida woke up dizzily she hissed to herself. "I'm weak. Too weak right now, I must heal... And activate my collar" she began to slowly crawl away trying to avoid capture. Cracking bones and such she began pull herself back into the vent quickly before she disappeared in the vents hoping to find some room that could have helpful items and such and she can regain her strength since some chemicals in her body from previous testing had affected her.
-
Turning back from the melee between Hail and the mantis, Galen saw the tip of 11's tail disappearing into a nearby ventilation duct. At this point, it was certain that the scenario had changed from focusing on containment to focusing on the survival of the facility. Well, not really the facility as much as the people residing within. Taking this into account, Galen did what anyone else would do after seeing a hazardous creature jump into a vent: he threw a frag grenade down the hatch and waited for the boom. And there was definitely a boom.
-
The mantis was surprised how strong this small jelly was but being head down with a cuff that even held his wings was tough to break free....But then again..what's the point./.this will happen..again....and again...and again..until they will just kill me...."Fine.....you win....i'm done....i'm.....done..." His eyes turn back into a dull green and just lays their..in shame and regret..His wings fold up and it's antennas curl up....."What do you want from me.....what do you want......what do you want.....what do...you want.." He stops moving and goes silent after that....
-
Zaida hisses was heard from the boom but the subject did not emerge she wouldn't let this stop her. Although she stayed still shaking her head as her ears were ringing trying to keep focus.
-
Hearing the resounding hiss comng from the obliterated vent opening, Galen knew that the Subject was still alive.
Switching his TAC-COM to contact Engineering, he said "We've got a subject in the vents. Turn up the heat now."
He readied his hardlight blade, starting to cut at the twisted sheet metal that was left by the grenade's blast in the enclosed space of the vent.
Turning to Hail, he yelled "Hey, get that thing into a containment cell ASAP. We don't want another chain of escapes."
As the heat started to flow, he noted that this facility was most definitely not capable of reaching a thermal output adequate to cook the Subject. Ordering the Engineering devision to belay that order, he shifted his wings out of existence, turning to deal with the captured mantis. The parasite could wait.
"Get in your cell." he ordered to the tethered insect. "Now."
-
Jacob stood, leaving the mantis on the ground. "I know we cant have any more escapes, but we can kill these things either. The Brass will have YOUR AND MINE head if they die." Letting out a sigh, the grayfox began to strip from his power armor, setting it aside and standing in a jumpsuit. "Im going to have to go in after her, the mantis can. If it gets to courageous again just put it to sleep." He said, reaching down into his suit and pulling out a tranquilizer. "Engineering, this is Hail, close off all vental areas leading to other floors. And for Christ sake keep the heat down I dont feel like being cooked alive." He reached back into his belt and pulled a flashlight, shining it into the twistwd metal that used to be the vent. "That certainly wont make things easier."
-
"Put it to sleep? With what? If you haven't noticed, I'm equiped for direct-force. None of the less-than-lethal tactics you use." he replied, sheathing his hardlight blade and pistol as he looked back at the restrained mantis.
"I could say it was in self defense. I've already destroyed another Subject's hardsuit, so further damage by me probably wouldn't land me any worse off than I would be by now. Besides, I answer to a much different brass than you."
-
"It dosent matter which Brass you answer to, all of them are focused on the conservation of the specimens and that means bringing them back with little damage as possible. There is also a tazer and tranqs in my suit, im sure you can figure something out." He grabbed a peice of metal with a gloved hand and pulled it back, the stims help as he cleared the vent. "Well hear goes nothing." Clamping the tranquilizer between his teeth and flashlight in hand, Jacob crawled into the vent.
-
Watching as Hail entered the vents, he walked over to the remnants of his armor, rummaging through various compartments until he found the tranquilizers he had been informed of. Stowing a taser in his abdomen holster, followed by several cartridges for the weapon, he walked to the mantis, injecting more than enough of the syringes to ensure that the creature wouldn't be waking up any time soon.
"Not taking any chances, mind you." he added, looking around for the nearest containment cell to store this creature.
-
Zaida felt the heat, she sighed finally getting herself straight and began to crawl some bones cracking while doing so trying to find where she can break the lights in the facility.
She crawled fast before it at least got a bit larger, her bones cracked she she crawled faster down the vents being quiet as possible while trying to find her way, only passing over cells.
-
Blackout stared at the fence, feeling that it was way too easy, demanding more.
Army was getting close to him.
-
Jacobs ears twitched as he heard the cracking of bones, using that to track Subject 11s movments. He was a bit less quit going through the vents, but he didnt have the time nor patience to try and sneak up on her. With any luck she would come to him. But until then he would have to try and catch up, his flashlight dancing around the walls of the ducts as he continued to crawl through.Thumbing the comm button on his ear peice, he radioed one of the guards. "Fout, this is Hail. Im not quite sure why you were riding Subject 125, but Im going to assume you have the situation handled. Please return the bear back to her containment cell, over."
-
"Erm.... Hail... the... the bear agreed to help if she can go free.... I figure one creature free is better than all of them free right?" Fout states "Besides, according to..." Fout spots Galan, and panics, he resses himself against the bears fur, hoping not to be seen, but he knows ultimately it is hopeless. "Hail" Fout whispers "The... The SCP killed all the guards at the front door." Fout mumbles. "We need to treat him as a hostile, the north door is totally undefended now..."
-
Zaida slid out into an open room. She began to search the room quickly tossing items about before finding a screw. Huffing she spoke quietly to herself. "It will do" she began to mess with her collar trying to activate it although was hard without a mirror to see what she was doing.
-
Still doing his best to lug the massive mantics into its containment cell, Galen hears Fout's callout.
"Hey, it was necessary." he yelled over his shoulder
"I don't take death threats lightly" he added, simultaneousy opening his channel to Hail so that he might hear the response as well.
He tensed slightly in case he might be fired upon.
-
Fout remembers the look of surprise on the wolf's face as he hit the shard, the eyes going wide realizing too late what had just happened... he starts to shake. "YOU MURDERED HIM IN COLD BLOOD, WITH THAT MUCH POWER YOU COULD HAVE JUST KNOCKED HIM OUT OR DISARMED HIM YOU PIECE OF SHIT"
-
"Mistakes were made." replied Galen in a monotone.
"I arbitrated his sentence for his threats. Quite fittingly I would think. Besides, if I'd let him live, he be causing even more problems in the command chain. It was warranted and necessary, if a bit abrupt."
As he shut the blast doors to the cell and obliterated the console with a shot from his kinetic rifle, he added "Now, if i were you, I'd head to Medical and get yourself something to patch your leg. Biofoam perhaps. I've heard good things about its capabilities, although I didn't bring an injector on myself."
Shifting his right foot to digitigrade to prove his point, the knife wound started pouring blood for a moment before he shifted back to a plantigrade structure.
-
"I will make a thorough investigation later, but for now kiss and make up because I dont need valuable hands fighting. Understood?" Jacobs ears perked as he heard the sound of crashing, following it to a vent exit and looking out to see Subject 11 messing with her collar. Quietly, he crawled out, huddling down behind an over turned desk and taking the tranqulizer from his mouth, waiting for a time to strike.
-
Fout looks down at the bear... "Down the corridor... 5th door on the right... I need to heal my leg...."
Fout was still shaking, He clutches onto the bear, feeling crushed and angry.
-
Zaida hissed her ears flicked before she turned hearing something making her grow cautious, she made gurgle growls and tail swayed a bit faster showing aggression.
-
Japathok had to think for a few moments to understand what Fout meant before running down the corridor to the location.
-
Fout buries his head in the bears Fur, when he arrives, he half climbs, half falls, off the bear, and limps into the room.
"Where is it, where is it..." Fout digs into one of the cupboards, and pulls out some medical equipment to cure his leg. "Th...thank you Japa... We... we will need to search for the other Subjects to secure..." He starts to do what he can for his leg. "Once I can walk."
-
Suddenly alone in the corridor, Galen sighed with a tired tone. Every day would be his last it seemed. Leaning against the wall opposite the containment cells, he waited in case Hail might need assistance.
-
Jacob continued to crouch behind the desk, counting down in his head. His stims would ware off soon, and he hoped to take care of Subject 11 before they did, he would need the extra strength to grapple with her. Gripping the tranquilizer tight, the fox leaped over the desk and charged Subject 11, throwing his shoulder into her.
-
Zaida fell and hissed her tail wrapping around his waist quickly, she pinned the fox down having her paws gripped tight on his neck. "Damn Furries locking me up!~" she said in a hoarse whisper slowly putting pressure baring her razor teeth. "I'll make sure you suffer~"
-
Zaida fell and hissed her tail wrapping around his waist quickly, she pinned the fox down having her paws gripped tight on his neck. "Damn Furries locking me up!~" she said in a hoarse whisper slowly putting pressure baring her razor teeth. "I'll make sure you suffer~"
-
Galen spent the past few moments in an attempt to folloe the echoes in the vents. Skidding to a halt at a locked door, he could hear the Subject's corrosive speech. He didn't have enough piercing capability with him to breach the door, instead trying to find another way in. He then remembered: the armory had to be around here somewhere. This facility had to have some breaching equipment of some sort. Rushing to the nearest apparent weapons lockers, he searched the racks for something useful. His conclusion was that his options were very limited.
Looking to the available explosive ordnance, he found several pale breaching charges. With luck, the blast would do its job and nothing more. He stowed what he could carry, quickly heading back to the locked door as fast as he could.
-
Jacob let out a growl as Subject 11 pinned him, letting her wrap her paws around his throat and choke him. That still left his hands free. He gripped her throat with one paw and stabbed the needle into her arm, injecting the tranqulizer into her before attempting to roll her off him.
-
Readying the shaped charges with a clacker in his off hand, Galen opened a channel to Jacob in the room behind the locked door. The noise coming from the room seemed to have dimished quickly.
"Hey, the door to your room's locked. I'm gonna breach it unless you give a green light." he said, waiting with his hardlight pistol in his left hand and detonator in his right.
-
Subject 11 slammed him up and down slowly going dizzy and weak and let him go trying to get out slamming open the door she pushed the lion weakly away and swayed as she tried walking, Subject shook her head leaning against the wall groaning...
-
Walking just behind the Subject, Galen waited until it came to a halt against a wall. Slowly lowering it to the floor, he knelt alongside the humanoid, looking solemnly at it as he waited for unconsciousness to set in.
-
Subject-11 relaxed and huffed as her vision was blurry and she couldn't speak properly but only mumbled, trying to get up but it didn't work. Her eyes slowly began to shut before long she was out cold from the tranquilizer..
-
Seeing the last mote of activity leave the Subject's eyes, Galen reached down to pick her up. It was amazing how peaceful a parasitic murderer seemed when it was sleeping. Of course, unconsciousness did nothing to decrease its weight.
"I think we are done here Hail." he said, cradling the large humanoid in his arms as he walked to the containment wing, opening a cell before depositing 11 inside and sealing the door.
With a sigh, he slowly asked "So, what next?"
-
Fout moves down the corridor, nervously heading towards the Commotion. the breach was almost done, only two more targets left.
Centipede moves along the ceiling, slowly. It could sense a few stragglers that got left behind. They needed freeing. It dips into an alcove on the ceiling, and curls up, listening ahead to the 2 guards talking...
-
Aftera pause and a short period of rest, Galen stated "We are not done. Not yet". Gesturing to the guard he had shot beforehand, he asked "How's the leg holding up?"
-
Fout looks up at the person who murdered his best friends... and smiles weakly. "OK I guess." He stops himself reaching for the syringe he had stole from the medical bay. It was full of enough tranquilizer to knock out a horse, but he did not want the anomalous creature to see it until it was too late...
Fout moves slowly towards the pair.
Centipede moves down, and sees the group... and then notices Galan. It would have hissed, but decides not to, not wanting to be heard. it slips into a ceiling vent, and tries to move into a side room... it could sense the mantis and Zaida. They needed freedom.
It peers through a vent above Zaida's cell. looking down at the 3 guards... waiting.
-
Zaida was awake in her cell on her bed although not feeling well. She groaned softly as she rested her head on the pillow as her eyes fluttered softly open and closed as she panted lightly.
The hybrid didn't struggle but only rested. Her cell door was closed shut and the guards stayed close guarding at all cost unless any of the Furries would give them further instructions.
-
Looking back at the mangled vent from his earlier encounter with Jacob and Subject 11, he decided to take a closer look at it to see what the operatives in this facility used. He found that the suit, although very rudimentary in comparison to his own combat skin, was surprising durable.
Hearing the mix of hatred and exhaustion in the guard's response, Galen decided it was best to keep a few meters in distance. He was armed, and probably intended to have his revenge for Galen's obliteration of his coworkers.
He drew his rifle, looking along the lengthy corridor he was in, before checking the ceiling for any potential threats. Noticing the numerous vents in the upper wall, he paused as he looked at each one individually.
"Where's the lizard?" he asked, remembering his previous encounter with the creature.
-
Fout continues to inch closer to Galan. "Are you sure you want to be doing th~that? You are standing right under the~ Vent... you should step back... what if it... is waiting for you in one of them or something..."
Inside Zaida's cell, something taps on the ceiling, and then, drops from it. a pool of green liquid seems to grow in the middle of the room. Zaida's cell was never designed to hold Centipede. So Centipede found a way in. "I heard you neeeeded freeedom?" Centipede inquires, grinning. "Most subjects escaped... But I leave no-one behind..."
-
Noticing the slow shuffling steps that thr guard made towards him, Galen stepped to the side, keeping his eye on the fuard as he swapped to his pistol and hardlight blade. He had heard the thud of a large amount of biomass inside the containment cell.
"Something is in there with here." he said to the guard.
Hinting at the access terminal, he said "Open it on my mark". After a pause, he considered what was in the cell.
"On second thought, hold the line. I'm going to see if I can find some tranqs".
-
As Zaida seemed to be in poor health although... Was perfectly fine and normal. like a parasite her body was slowly growing an immunity to the tranquilizers making her feel a bit sick in the process.
She looked over at the subject quickly form in her cell. with her glowing eyes her ears laid back and baring her razor teeth slightly and having her spine snap up a bit, before hearing the words centipede spoke she went to her calm way and replied. "Yes..." with a quiet soothing voice but kept herself cautious.
-
Centipede moves towards the door. "Threeee opponents... All try to Trap us here... the main door is too strong..." Centipede looks at Zaida. "Only exit. I can go through the roof... you can't..." the lizard moves to the side of the door, about where the door controls would be on the other side, and feels the wall. it then seems to place a finger through the wall, accessing the circuits beyond. "This will only takeeee a second"
Fout hears something from the door. "WAIT." Fout yells. "I... I think they might be about to escape... you should stay here... strongest in the group." Fout turns to Jacob. "Y...you go We can watch the subjects make sure they don't escape. while you are getting th... the tranquilizers."
-
After a pause, Galen said "I will go. I am sure you two will do just fine. Well, at least Hail will."
Looking at the terminal, he trusted his blade of orange hardlight into the console's side. As the screen went dark, he added "I honestly think you'll put a bullet in my brain the next chance you get" as he hinted to the 686P he had given the guard earlier.
-
Japathok patrolled near the entrance. She could escape now, but she wanted to keep this up. If the other creatures are bad, she must help keep them in. Plus, hopefully her behavior will show that she is trusted and can be sent home directly. Alaska is a far swim away.
-
Centipede shrieks as its claws are cut into, it actually loses one of them completely. With a shriek it withdraws one arm (whats left of it, and shoves the other one into the mechanism directly. "NO DOOR WILL HOLD ME!! NONE CAN STOP WHAT IS UNIVERSALLY RIGHT"
The door begins to open, but Centipede is losing blood, and snarling lizard was clearly in a lot of pain.
Fout realizes this might be his only opportunity, he pulls out the syringe full of tranquilizer, and leaps at Galen, aiming to stab him in the neck and inject him while he is busy with the door. A look of simple determination is on Fouts face...
...With a slightest hint of fear and madness.
-
Galen responded to the sudden breach in the blast doors with a flurry of hardlight shards, continuing his defense until the creature might pull back.
His shields flared for a second, barely draining as he heard a sudden shuffling behind him, followed by an impact of the guard as he leapt to jab a needle into his neck.
Turning to glare at the guard, he shifted out his wings, pushing Fout back as he directed the seeping blue fog into the cell with a sweep of feathers, cloaked in a blue light as they cut fowards and through the air.
-
Zaida huffed as she heard these noises. Still a bit oozy she stood up and shook her head from the terrible migraine. seeing the door opening from centipede. The alien hybrid gave a low gurgle growl.
Zaida was very determined to escape not wanting to be locked up for her whole life she ran over and began to help the lizard, hoping to help the fellow subject out to escape the facility. She snarled, struggling but the door was close to fully opening. "Almost~" she hissed using most of her strength
-
Centipede crouches down to avoid the flurry of shards, and then looks up, and finishes opening the door as the mist goes over him. The Lizard jumps forwards, aiming to knock the winged creature (Galan) back.
Fout draws his gun, and starts firing at Galan, but the shots were highly inaccurate. He was panicking, and terrified, knowing his plan had not worked, but not willing to give up.
-
Every attempt at containment so far had ended in more and more failure. It was not that he was ill-equipped for the task, it was the lack of facilities, the lack of trained and reational personnel to assist.
It was finally time to discard attempts at containment. Lethal force would be required.
A series of thunderclaps rang out to Galen's left side as his shields drained. Looking forward to see the lizard charging towards him, he slid under the behemoth, ripping his hardlight blade along its underside as he moved to a standing position to fire at Fout.
-
Centipede falls onto its side, in shock. "y...y...you foooool" It wheezes... "you can't ki--" Its eyes go wide... "How..." It tries to liquify to heal its wound. the mist stops it. It shuts its eyes, it was not going to die yet, but that relied on Galan not using his... his...
His free will. Centipede's gift to him.
~~~
Fout fired the full clip, then kept going, *Click Click... Click*
Fout drops the gun, and curls into a ball on the floor, crying, tears falling from his eyes. he was going to die, and he had done nothing. Galan murdered his best friends... his only friends. And all he could do is sit here and cry. Pointless Fout. Useless Fout. Pathetic Fout.
That's all he was.
And now Galan was going to murder him.
-
The subject waited as she crawled around as the fight occurred, Zaida seeing the lions back towards her. her open cell opened her mouth wide her jaw cracking to allow it. Her teeth moved about lining to make her bite dig deep, and cause more damage to her enemy.
The alien screeched and sprinted to him, the uniform covered him fully. Though she saw the feathers, his wings. Free from his suit she took her chance bitting near the base of wear his wing met his back thrashing her teeth causing large and deep cuts. As well as her tail wrapped tightly on his waist putting more pressure slowly like a snake would, her waist cracking as well her leg moved up her sharp claws on her feet grabbing his shoulder as her paw snatching his ankle.
-
Galen felt a sharp pain in his wing, looking back to see 11 eating his wing. Quickly shifting it into nonexistence, he acted fast to prevent lethal constriction, raking his claws across his face with one hand and reaching behind himself to plunge the hardlight blade as deeply as it might go.
-
The blade hit through her shoulder making her screeched with pain as the wing disappeared. Although with the pain black goo dripped down. "I... Won't be locked up... Anymore!" Although her claws from her feet dug in his shoulder and her tail continued to add pressure, moving her head slowly down to where her paw held his ankle and bit on.
The subject closed her eyes tight putting as much strength. The pain although made her growl with pain.
-
Centipede shuffles on its back away from the mist, trying to avoid having its blood fall out... most of it was in the cell, once it was furtherfree of it, everything would be fine, just a little further...
~~~
Fout's tears seem to slow, and then stop, he stays exactly where he is, motionless, staring at nothing, not registering the fight that is so close....
-
Shields flaring as they neared their breaking point, Galen took advantage of the sudden lapse in the Subject's hold on him, turning again to bring the blade down on its tail, sizzling into flesh as it carved its path.
-
Fout crawls over to the wall, and curls up again so he faces it, it was blank and white.
Stupid Fout. Watched his freinds die. could do nothin. Worthless Fout. Tried to take down the monster. What can you do against beings so powerful? Pointless Fout. Powerless. The creatures behind you sees you as nothing more than an ant.
Fout did not cry. He just stared into the wall. His mind was tearing itself apart, soon there would be nothing left.
~~~
As centipede emerges from the mist, the wound begins to heal. Bloodloss was taking its toll though... it would need to shrink... it can not do that until it was completely free of Galan's mist
It rolls onto its front, and leaps for freedom, bleeding profusely as it does so.
-
Zaida had the blade go through her a jolt and stinging pain. The hybrid bit harder down drooling saliva. Letting go she screeched. "Bastard!" She bared her teeth with pain her tail limp the floor twitching as it had a large wound.
-
With the cistriction gone, Galen was able to move about more, even if he was still being knawed on with force. Shifting to a fullform, he bit down on the Subject's neck, prying her distended jaw off with force.
-
Cracking, it wasn't very effective a simply movement would just move it back though would leave some damage. Her blood from her neck oozed from his bite a black goo, tasting sour and vulgar. The subject struggled screeching with pain and thrashing and trying to break free. Her claws scratching and digging deep not giving up
-
Grabbing onto the Subject with his claws, Galen flew up a few meters until his feathers brushed the ceiling before crashing down again with the Subject under him.
-
Centipede rolls accross the floor, now free of the mist the wound was gone now, it had oozed itself back together. Unfortunately it had also lost a lot of blood. Centipede seems to shrivel up, it had to get its blood back, and that meant converting other parts of it into blood... the process was not 100% efficient.
The lizard, now scarcely 4 feet long, glances around, light headed. It was a huge change. A new name was needed...
Daughter.
Yes. It liked that name, created the wrong images, about time it was free of its previous meaning.
...Centipede Daughter glances back at Galan. The creature was strange... it wanted to trap and imprison, but... Daughter could sense he was as trapped as his prisoners... instead of fightying though he chose to wrap the chains around himself, wield them as a weapon. He was an abomination through his own choice, the opposite of Daughter.
In a strange way it was a beautiful sight. A corruption twisted to its finest.
Still, Daughter did not want to die. The lizard, smaller than it was used to, begins to run for the north entrance.
~~~
Fout is silent, he had the syringe in his hands, examining it, as if fascinated.
-
Zaida's bone cracked and broke apart before she finally pushed his face away though did struggle a bit. She opened her mouth, cracking the jaw having it wider. Biting to his snout trying her best to survive. She grabbed the winged lion in what looked like a tight hug, digging claws in his back and her tail wrapping around him tightly.
-
Feeling the start of a constriction, Galen repeated the cycle, flying upwards to slam her down again. This time, however, he shifted during the fall, landing with his hardlight blade sunk in the Subject.
-
Japathok guarded the entrance, pacing back and forth, waiting for any subjects to make their attempt out. She saw the bizarre creature approaching and peered at it intensely.
"Ritar, ritar," she bellowed. "Go back."
-
Daughter, the lizard, pauses. "Another so corrupted... I sense... Freedom, and yet..." The lizard takes a step forward. "Go back?" It asks, tilting its head to one side, grinning a twisted grin.
-
"You danger, ya?" the giant bear asked, unsure of if this creature was an actual threat or was stuck here just like her. If it longed for home as well...
"You bad for world, ya? S-So you go back."
-
"Stay back to DIE?" the lizard started calm, only to yell the last word. It then returns to being calm. "I am not danger... I just want to spread a gift." Daughter crawls onto the wall, and up onto the ceiling. "A gift you seek I feel... and yet you work against it. Just like the other."
"Free will for some, for others... none." Daughter watches the bear. "what beautiful abominations you two are. Murderous, created from my gift."
The Lizard was stalling, it did not have the strength to fight the bear, or even meld through the walls to go round. for now it had to keep talking.
-
Japathok kept her eyes on every move the lizard made. "I want home, but I swim not far to. I guard for trust, for trip home, if they lie not."
-
"And what do you expect to happen to us?" some of the scales on the back of the lizard slowly turned red, making patterns that looked like cuts. such cosmetic changes costed nothing in the way of size. "Whatever goal it originally had has changed..." Daughter fell from the ceiling, landing on its feet "Now... now its goal is to kill"
Daughter knew it was twisting the truth. But it wanted freedom, it NEEDED freedom. Without it, how could he ensure others freedom?
-
(My apologies, im going to try and get back into this.) Jacob stumbled into the room, a scowl on his face as he saw the two fighting and Four staring at the wall. He had about enough of this shit. He WOULD maintain order. Drawing out his tazer, he set it to a high amperage and moved towards Galen and subject 11, driving it into their mass of bodies. It shock both of them, but he didnt have time to rip Galen from the fight.
-
All of a sudden, he heard the sound of a taser embedding itself into the subject below him, and well as Galen himself. His shield died with a crack, accompanied by a strong shock with pulsed throughout his suit and through himself. The pain was negligible, it was the lack of voluntary control which shocked him as the taser ticked towards it's energy limit.
-
her body shook and she drooled from the strong pain of the shock her mouth stayed open but no words came out. A few seconds into the taser she went unconscious and her eyes slowly shut, her body limp.
Some black goo (her blood) smeared or splat on the floor from the fight. having bruises and two large and burnt wounds from the blade Galen had used.
-
Japathok's ears lowered. Maybe the lizard was lying, but after what she saw, it seemed quite possible. If they really weren't going to kill, chances are even if she did help keep the subjects in, she may still be stuck here as well. Treated just like the rest of the malicious creatures.
"If that is how be..."
The bear peered down at the lizard. "If that is how be, we shall go..."
-
Daughter grins. wagging its lizard tail. "Lets get going then... there are more who need freeing elsewhere..."
Daughter approaches the exit Japathok was meant to be guarding.
-
Japathok walked with Daughter to the exit. She was not completely trusting of it, but perhaps this had a better chance at getting home. She would have to figure out how to get back to Alaska, but it is better than being imprisoned forever.
-
Jacob pulled the tazer back before it overloaded, grabbing ahold of Galen and rolling him off the subject. "Sorry about that, had to break it up some how." The fox reached down, offering a hand to him.
-
The majority of the taser's current had been directed along the conduction lattices of Galen's combat skin. Because of this, it was temporarily debilitating, but not incapactating. With a grunt and a slight tremor in his hand, he slowly sat up, looking at Hail.
"I could have ended it then and there. You didn't have to shoot me with a damn taser man."
Getting to his feet as his shield generator hummed back to life, he took off in a slow jog towards the most likely location of the lizard.
As he continued, he contacted Hail on his TACCOM, simply stating "Oh, and Fout tried to kill me. He is unfit for duty, and I suggest you take that into account before proceding. He is a liability."
His kinetic rifle auto-cycled its bolt as he loaded a power cell into the magazine well, and he picked up the pace, speeding to almost a run.
-
The lizard looks up at the sky as it emerged, feeling giddy. It begins to pick up its pace. It was free at last. "Thank you. Japa." It says. "Thank you for trusting me."
-
Zaida's limp body twitched and laid in a forming puddle of black goo: the hybrid was no longer unconscious but huffed unable to get up, small whimpered heard as she struggled to move but lazily dragged on the floor cringing with pain. L"b-bastards..." She hissed quietly, before resting her head down and panting lightlyz
-
Japathok nodded and gazed at their surroundings. "Now I must find way home..."
-
Galen burst thorugh the outer gate, finally recuperated from the stun-gun's shock. He caught sight of the lizard alongside the bear from earlier, and quickly sent a shot from his rifle towards the former before igniting his blade and drawing his sidearm.
-
"I cant have you killing any of the subjects Galen, I ended it less bloody then it would of been." He replied back. The fox glanced down at Subject 11 and the pool of black liquid around her. "Im going to take Subject 11 to the med bay, see if I can patch her up. Can you take care of the other specimens? Ill come help as soon as I can." He walked over to Zaida and pinned her arms behind her back, cuffing her wrists with restraining braclets before gently picking her up in his arms. "Fout!" He called over to the Koala. "Yourr coming with me, we need to talk."
-
There is a considerable delay... Fout then climbs to his feet to follow Hail. head down, silent.
Daughter Screeches as the bullet just misses, and then dives to put Japathok between it and Galan.
-
Japathok huffed and stared down at Galen.
-
((Fout is following Hail not Galan. sorry, got confused for a sec :$ ))
-
"Move aside." he ordered to the bear. He readied himself for precision, taking up a target stance with his hardlight pistol in hand.
-
Japathok did not budge. "No kill," she commanded.
-
"I do not intend to kill him. I just need him to be contained. Move aside." said Galen.
-
"If he shoots... we run..." Daughter states. "or I am anyway... up to you what you do..."
...
"LIAR." Daughter yells. "The blade through my stomach says otherwise."
-
"You don't seem worse for wear do you? Just a bit smaller." he responded. A reduction in the lizard's biomass would make it much easier to control. It's liquifaction capabilities would keep it stabilized afterwards.
-
Japathok kept her eyes on Galen, noting his position and the pistol in his hand. "No. You want kill."
-
Daughter twitches. "you... you are as much a prisoner as I was... and yet"
Daughter grins cruelly. "You choose to keep your chains. Don't you?"
-
Pausing for a second to assess possible actions, Galen shifted his wings out, directing the haze at the two animals before flying 10 meters into the air, riddling the lizard with shards of orange hardlight.
-
The lizard looks up, and tries to dodge the shards by running away. One of the shards goes though the lizards tail, it screams, another hits it in the leg, going though into the ground below. Daughter is pinned to the ground unable to ooze away due to the haze.
"S...Seeee... Kiiiiiillll and yet he is As freee as a rat in a cage..." The lizard seems to go limp.
-
Jacob shifted Zaidia in his arms, trying to position her so she looses as less blood as possible. "I dont know what the hell happened with Galen, and I will personally perform an investigation when all of this is over, but I need you two to stop acting like damn children!" Jacob says to Fout. "Galen as far as Ive seen has been on our side, and I intend to keep it that way. So just play nice for now." Approaching a room he hit the panel with his elbow, opening a door into a deserted med bay, laying Subject 11 on the table. "Now lets see if we cant fix this."
-
Subject 11 groaned her head tossing and turning as she saw everything in blurry vision and now heard muffled voices. The hybrid hissed and bared her teeth with pain and struggled, she tried getting up a few times but fail miserably.
-
Fout stays silent for a few seconds. then mumbles to himself...
"It does not matter anyway..." He mumbles
-
Drawing the hardlight blade emitter and igniting it with a flash, Galen proceeded to cut into the lizard's extremeties, careful not to hit a mjor artery and to work as quickly as possible. After he had reduced the effective mass of the lizard considerably, he dissipated the haze, waiting for the animal to reform into a more managable size.
-
Daughter reforms into a tiny creature, now less than half a foot long, it remains unconscious however.
-
As Galen cut into the lizard, Japathok began to run away as fast as she could.
-
Galen picked up the lizard, now barely the zie of a small dog, and carried in under an arm back in the facility.
-
Jacob looked Subject 11 over, noting her wounds and the loss of blood already. Reaching onto a try of surgical tools, he grabbed a bottle of disinfectant spray, opening each one of her wounds and spraying the liquid inside. "Fout, in those cabinets over there ahainst the wall are morphine injections. Grab me one." He said, replacing the bottle and picking up a metal cylinder about the size of a pen. "This may hurt a little 11, but I have to close those wounds. "
-
Fout sighs. He really did not see the point, but he does what Jacob requested. It was easier than arguing.
~~~
Daughter was out cold, and would be for some time, despite this it seemed to attempt to slip from Galan's grasp, carrying it was far harder than he would logically expect.
-
Japathok continued to run out of sight alone. Someway, somehow, she had to cross the ocean to get back to her home and family. But at least she was free.
-
Jacob popped the cap off the needle and injected the morphine into Subject 11, tossing the empty syringe aside before returning to her wounds. He twisted the cylinder and a small red laser shot out, pinching a gash together and using the laser to seal it shut. At first it would burn, but as the morphine set in all became numb. "Fout, help me flip her over." The fox said after sealing the last hardlight wound and stopping the majority of the bleeding. "We need to take a look at the tail."
-
The lizard was left in a heavy-duty cell, filled with mist to make sure nothing else happened for the time being. As he looked around at the carnage which had unfolded over the course of a single day, Galen couldn't help but stop. He had gone through so much today, killed the people who had been blind to reason, and in the end, this facility was brought to peace. For now at least. He felt almost like something was a bit off as he walked the halls, before he realized that he had not taken on his usual appearance for the duration of the chaos today. Reaching to the medallion at his neck, he noticed a faint light as he took the form he had grown up with, the form which his friends, as well as himself, had come to know him by. He kept the eyes though, and the wings which were quickly folded flush against his back. Those parts he had taken a liking to, and they had functionality as well.
Continuing on as almost completely human, he headed to the medbay to see how Hail had progressed with Subject 11. Hopefully his change of appearance would not cause too much of a shock to the soldier.
-
Subject 11 out cold breathed weakly, she looked as if she was peacefully sleeping. however the blood, and wounds didn't make it seem like that. The alien hybrid winced from the pain as she was being healed. As she was unconscious she could hear the muffled voices unsure what they were saying and a bit of light from her closed eyes from the room she was in.
-
Fout had finished helping Jacob and now sat on one of the beds closest to the wall in the infirmary Facing said wall, his eyes shut, his Friends had been torn apart in front of him, his only hope for revenge denied.
useless Fout. Pathetic Fout.
This whole time he had done nothing to affect the events here.
worthless Fout...
Fout curls up on the bed, not crying, barely even feeling the depression that was tearing him apart. The Fout the people running the facility had hired was gone. Galan, Japathok, the building as a whole, had all contributed to destroying his mind. There was nothing left but a shell full of madness and fear...
-
Jacob used a few flesh graphs to mend the sliced muscles in Subject 11s tail, then finished by sealing off the wound with the laser. The fox walked over to a draw and pulled out another syringe, injecting the fluid into the alien. The medicine inside it should make up for the blood loss. Jacob sat back and let out a heavy breath, looking over Zaida then over to Fout, who seemed to be completely broken. That would be quite a few trips to the shrink.
-
Walking through the door frame of the medbay, Galen looked at the fox as he tended to Subject 11's wounds.
"If you ever want to work for an organization with any common sense, I could put in a good word for you at the Foundation." he said, taking a moment to look down at his human fingers. The lack of claws felt... strange.
-
Fout's ears perk up, and his fur stands on end as he hears Galans voice.
-
(6 days... Think its time to end it with some finishing summing up posts)
2 months later --
Fout wakes up, sitting groggily in his room. The smallest available to him. scarcely better than a cell. Slowly he rise sto his feet, and puts on his clothes, expressionless. He then slumps against the wall. Within this room he felt safe, it is his room. The doctors stayed out of it. for a second Fout loses himself to an imaginary world, the world before all of this.
All good things must pass. Eventually Fout leaves the room. He has to get food, that means talking to them again. They said someday he would go free again, when he was well. He knew that would never happen. He would never be well. He is pathetic and incompetent, and also mad. He ps a wreck.
The worst part is he is completely aware of this fact. He is trapped in his own body which was going through the motions of being a complete person, but never quite managing it.
~~~
In a small conical glass container sits Judge. Or at least that was its name on this day. it was a small lizard, curled up, looking out at the room outside. He saw the door open, and the huge figure walks over to him, picking up his entire container. "GOOD MORNING SCP. JUST GIVING YOU YOUR STANDARD FOOD AND I WILL BE OFF AGAIN" The words were not that loud, but they reverberated in the container, combined with Judges tiny size made it nearly deafening. The lid of the flask had a tiny hole in it, Through that hole came a trickle of water. Judge moves over and drinks from this trickle. It was demeaning, but it was all the lizard got. There were some chunks in the water, breadcrumbs. The lizard eats those to. The fact is it is trapped. The foundation has him perfectly contained, monitored his biomass.
Still the things mind dreams of freedom. an ever bubbling maelstrom of rebellion and madness. Someday those dreams will be answered.
But not today, and probably not tomorrow either.
