Chapter Five: Retribution
-
Andaluza wakes Apollo and prepares for the gunslinger fight. “Let’s take him out.”
-
The spherical object had been sliced in half, but had gotten what it had needed. The Gunslinger, having restrained Faye in her chair and knocked her on conscious, pulled four men in his battalion into the computer room. He then placed a small device on the chair, and it projected a 3-d model of Katherine in the chair, collected by the sphere and completely indistinguishable from the real one except stationary. Using a small pad, the Gunslinger modifies her position to make her look tied up and unconcious. He then taps into the nearby video monitor, and suddenly a live video of him is projected on the monitors throughout the facility. “Hello, Keepers. As you can see here, I have two of your friends, so why don’t we talk things over?” The Gunslinger leans in. “At the first sign of resistance, one will die. Your move.” The Gunslinger pulls out his revolver, waiting.
-
Andaluza stares at the gunslinger intently. “So, you’re using threats, hmm? What do you want us to do?”
-
*Pandora yelled at the sudden flash of the screen in her room, she staired at Katherine and Faye worriedly, she was very protective of her friends*”Let them fecking go or I’ll melt your face”, she muttered standing still her wings twitching, with furry, her Tattoo glowed brightly illuminating half her body in the bitch black of the room.
-
Apollo held Pandora back. “Both of them are not on our side. Katherine left us and Faye was previously loyal to the OGA. But we can’t let either of them die. Tell us what you want.”
-
The Gunslinger is unphased by the others’ response. “What I want is simple. You will come down the hall, one at a time, once every hour. We will secure you. If each of you comes willingly, your friends live. If not, my men will kill you, and I will secure you myself. You have one hour to send your first volunteer. I imagine that you will choose wisely. Nobody has to die… Today.”
-
Apollo looked at Pandora and Andaluza. “Andaluza, you have access to Protocol 33. I’m not letting anyone die. I’m going to go first.”
-
Andaluza nodded and pulled out the tablet. “Good.”
-
*Pandora started to panice, she turned to Apollo and jumped up clutching his should so she could whisper in her ear*”I don’t want to be captured again, not ever, I rather die, I think I can kill this guy if I can get to him”, Pandora whispered, feeling semi trapped once again, her tattoos light was lessening a little out of fear that was spreading though her of the though of geting captured again.
-
Apollo subtly pointed to Protocol 33. “Do you think we’ll actually play by his rules? No. We run the show our way.”
-
<i>The Gunslinger waits at the end of the hall for the first volunteer, along with two other soldiers further back. He still has 35 soldiers guarding the entry to the ship, along with the OGA hoplite cloaked outside the shield and his four commandos in the computer area securing Faye. As he waits, he sends a message to Ozymandias regarding his status.</i>
-
Apollo walks in. “Hello.”
-
Andaluza looks nervously at Pandora. “If you and I combine our electrokinetic abilities with Apollo, we can do some lethal damage. Stage one of 33, we free the hostages.”
-
*Feeling like a trapped bird for the first time in forever (yes I did make that reference :D) she hopped down from Apollo and gulped, her palms started to sweat. Pandora paced nervously, her wings sparking slightly, she could feel her self slipping away from reality slowly going into a state of pure panic, the state she knew all to well*
-
The Gunslinger pulls out his revolver, pointing it at Apollo’s head. “Have your team lower the shields.”
