Escape from Pandora instalation (the RP)

[Kimmolito]

On the lower maintenance decks an engineer is looking into some wiring.
"Hey, Frank... come take a look at this."
His colleague walks up.
"What?"
"Look at this cable..."
The cable looked as though it would break at any second.
"Shit... we need to replace this thing... what does it go to?"
"Don't know, I left the wiring chart in the tram."
Suddenly in a rain of sparks the cable snapped.

At this moment all of the specimen restraining collars stopped working.

Meanwhile in Dr. Hess's office.
"Yes, we have a prototype, but it's nowhere near ready to-" Another call buzzed annoyingly in his ear. "Just a moment, I have to answer this call." He switched to the other channel. "What?! I'm busy, this had better be important."
He heard the voice of the guard captain on the other end.
"You better come down and take a look at this."
"I doubt it's important."
"The collars aren't working..."
He knew what it meant... the specimens would be able to get loose.
"I'll be down there in a second..."
He switched back to the other channel and informed the general that his report would have to wait, then he threw on his lab coat and ran as fast as he could towards the security office.

[Insanity]

"Dance, dance, the butterfly of fate... Dance in the wind..." His eyes were closed, a guard passing by banged on his door "Hey, keep the poetry in your head, will ya'?" Sai opened his eyes and looked at the steel door "Struggle, struggle, the worm of destiny... Struggle for your life..."

The guard was just about to bang on the door again, but to his surprise the baton hit nothing. He looked at where the door was supposed to be, but all he saw was the inside of the sell where Sai was standing "What the-" The baton suddenly bent down and the guard felt a sting on the back of his hand, what he was holding was a cobra "Aaaaah!" he quickly dropped the snake who slithered away.

Sai slowly walked out of the cell and looked around "Looks like I'm free... At least for now" He looked back at the guard and smiled "Don't worry, you still have a few minutes left, if you're lucky they'll have the antidote at the infirmary... If you can make it there in time" The guard was horrified and confused about what had just happened, but began to run towards the infirmary.

Stretching his arms, Sai took a deep breath "Feels good" he said and smiled even wider than before "Now then, what should I do first?".

[Trance Kitsune]

Chestel found that her hair was coming back to life while she was resting. The second she found out that she could make the tips of her light blue hair twitch again, she was awake and had torn off the collar with her tresses. Her glassy blind eyes were open as she padded her way towards the door and then managed to wriggle a few hairs through the cracks, it was only a matter of time before the door was suddenly on the floor, its hinges frayed and torn apart as she walked around calmly.

She sought no special direction, she had no intended place to go. She was following her sister's voice. Her beautiful, kind, wonderful and dead sister.

Her sister was telling her to fight, and kill everyone. Feel the blood on your skin. Feel it matting your hair. Listen to the way people gasped as they begged for their lives.

She listened to her sister, the imagery that her sister had created.

It was a beautiful idea. She could already anticipate the congealing garnet liquid on her body. The way it was so warm, and full of lief as it left a body, then how it hardened and cracked and darkened and grew cold.

It was exquiste.

[thesouleater]

Will was sitting in a corner, quietly laughing at nothing in particular. He picked at the dirt in his fingernails and rocked back and forth. A crazy grin plastered his face. Out of nowhere, Will began laughing loudly, like a maniac.

The man outside, standing guard by Will's cell, walked over and frowned, seeing Will on the floor thrashing around laughing. "Shut up!" He punched the door.

Within a millisecond Will was staring in the guard's eyes through the tiny window that showed through the door. "Why should I? Maybe you should be the one to shut up?" His face flickered to a frightening picture and a second later and the guard lay on the ground dead, his face torn up so that he would not be recognizable by his peers.

After sticking his arm out the tiny bared window and picking the lock on the door, Will wiggled his fingers and swiftly cut off the collar that previously disallowed his powers. He morphed his hand back to normal and ran through the building, speeding by guards and cells, laughing.

[PantsTheReaper]

Tepin blinked. The constant tug on his neck was no longer there. His energy wasn't being harvested as it usually was, nor was it stopping the build up. He smiled and waited.

Not five minutes later, Tepin slid his hands behind the collar and focused. There was a resounding crack as the two halves of the collar were blasted into the walls. His personal guard jumped and quickly turned around, gun ready. Tepin raised his hand and gave off another blast. Heat was concealed inside of the concussive force, enough to scald the guard and send him to the floor in agony.

Tepin blasted the door from its hinges and moved to the guard. After taking the gun he placed his hand on the guard's head and blast one more time. The man's head exploded as the force crushed it against the floor.

With the guard dead, Tepin was almost free. He made his way to the weapon's testing lab and overloaded the electronic lock, destroying the magnetic fail-safe in the process. He slid the door open and gave a grim smile as the scientists inside panicked. "How about a quick field test?" he asked.

[thesouleater]

Will was getting bored of running through the hallways of the Pandora research facilities. There were multiple dead-ends and they were starting to frustrate him to the core.

"Not another dead-end!!" Will screeched. "Screw dead-ends!"

Will spun on his heel and continued running, constantly bumping into people and smirking as he started small brawls in that area. So instead of watching where he was going, Will was making sure he didn't get involved in any of the brawls and ran straight into another person with orange/red hair that kept muttering poetry.

[iamaninja]

Today’s tests had been...interesting to say the least, Subject 158 had been put through hell and back, the damn beaker’s had been constantly putting him through his paces and now that he was back in his cell he was bored.
Not to mention his muscles were sore from the rigorous testing, he grunted and let out a snort, the only highlight had been drowning the other unfortunate subject that they had dumped in the half-flooded chamber with him.

Supposedly testing the combat abilities of two subjects pitted against one another, Aquila reckoned that they had just wanted to see how long it took a pair of experiments to tear each other apart.
If he recalled correctly the other subject had been able to...to do something with...heat or whatever, the scald mutant hadn’t cared and had only suffered minor burns but had been shocked heavily by the scientists when they realized he had meant to devour the other; alive.

158 grunted, disturbed from his reverie, and reached up to scratch his scales beneath the collar, oddly enough it didn’t itch like usual, even the ever preset buzzing of the shock system was gone. A toothy smile split Aquila’s maw, looks like the flesh-bags had broken something important.

The reptilian mutant approached his cell door and stood there, waiting with great patience, he was rewarded when, a few minutes later a guard walked past.
He slammed his fist into the door, causing the guard to jump and walk cautiously over. He peered through the barred window
“What the hell do you want, freak?”

A slow crocodile smile spread across the freaks face, he took a step back and answered in a guttural tone.
“Yer flesh, yer blood, yer life”

As he said life he shoulder-rammed the door, tearing it off its hinges, the guard barely managed to dive out of the way, but he was dead anyway, Aquila had his scent.

The young guard ran but did not get far before Aquila snatched him by the scruff, he sunk his teeth into the guard, enjoying the screams and struggles of the human. Only a short time later he left a mangled partially eaten body in his wake. It was time to go kill some of the sadists who had hurt him so much. One thing about Tomas Aquila, he barely had any memory left of what his life was like before he was kidnapped, tortured and experimented upon, all he remembers is that he was hurt, bad, by these people and they were gonna pay.

He murmured a half remembered rhyme to himself as he stalked down the corridor, hunched a little to avoid brushing his head on the roof.
“Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream”
A half-grin was on his features as he muttered it
“If ya see a crocodile, don’t ferget ta scream”

As he rounded a corner he spotted another subject, the number came to him a moment later; 002, Sai. Aquila didn’t know anything about any of the other subjects nor did he really care, as long as they didn’t mess with him he cared not what they did to get here.

He continued walking, but paused and tilted his head as another subject tore around another corner and bowled over 002, Aquila grunted in amusement before a couple of test subjects decided to attack him, he simply grabbed them both by their necks and smashed their faces into the wall, effectively killing them in a welter of gore.
The brawling subjects or those looking for a fight; avoided the hulking scaled mutant amongst them, they had seen what had just happened to the two who had confronted him. Though mostly they seemed to be rushing about in a mad, howling frenzy, trying to find hapless guards and scientists to kill, although some were still huddled in cells.

He absently licked the blood from his claws and lent against the wall, his gold-coloured eyes narrowing as he sized up the other subjects, he was momentarily curious as to what would happen with 002 and the one who had crashed into Sai.
Aquila knew Sai only because the man would never shut-up with his poetry, which annoyed him when he was trying to sleep or fanaticizing about disembowelling some squealing scientist, other then that he didn’t care.

An arrogant smirk appeared on his face.
“I see yer already makin’ friends”
He bounced his now removed collar in his hand.

[Insanity]

The screams echoed through the hallways, and it was as if they were getting more and more in sync with each other, to a point where they sounded almost like a choir "Songs of glory, song of honor... Songs of everlasting torment" Sai said softly. He didn't take more than a few steps before a man bumped in to him, almost falling down, an arm shot out of the wall and grabbed him "I'm sorry, I seem to have been standing in your way" As the arm raised him back on his feet, Sai corrected his vest a bit "I do hope I did not cause you any mayor inconvenience"

The sound of skulls smashing against steel made Sai look to the side, somewhat curious about what the sound came from. A little further down he could see a large creature with a wide grin, who apparently had defended himself against two other subjects. The creature spoke to him, saying something about making friends "I am uncertain of whether this man is a friend or not, and I see not why you would have any interest in the matter... Although, it does seem like you know me, have we met before? I can't seem to recall ever seeing you before" His eyes moved up and down the creature, while he was trying to remember if he had ever met it.

[Kimmolito]

"My god... they're loose... we... have to do something!" Dr. Hess was standing in the security office, sweating like mad.

The woman next to him lit a cigarette.
"You're damn right we have to do something, we have to kill these freaks."
"What!? But these are-" Before he could finish the sentence a strong hand was closed around his throat.
"Listen you smart ass piece of shit, you're not in charge any more, I am. I'm going to kill these fuckers, actually, I'm going to feel damn good doing it."
She let go of the Doctor's throat.
"And... just how, do you plan on doing that?"
She grinned.
"You're going to help me."

Meanwhile special attack teams were assembled to mount an assault on the cell blocks.
"Alright, remember, stick close together, we're authorized to use deadly force so shoot to kill."

[PantsTheReaper]

Tepin slid the door shut behind him and magnetized it, effectively fusing it shut. "Now which one, which one?" he mused. Looking around, he drank deeply from the scientists' looks of fear. One, however, was either extremely brave, or extremely stupid, as he threw a prototype grenade at Tepin. The second it touched him, his body sent it straight back several times faster. It connected and lodged itself into the scientist's chest before exploding, completely obliterating him and killing a few that had been either too stupid or scared to move.

Tepin frowned. They were showing resistance. He placed his hand on a nearby computer, no doubt loaded with results, and overloaded the circuitry, causing it to spark and smoke. Breaking the outer shell, he tore out a circuit board and charged it to the point where the energy was visible. He propelled himself forward and held out his improvised weapon. The circuit board hit several people, releasing it's charge and killing most of its victims. The charge, however didn't last.

Tepin frowned again. His weapon was worthless if it wasn't consistent. Made his way over to the weapons vault and again disabled the electronic lock. When inside, he could hear the scientists screaming for help. He smiled. This was going to be fun. After rummaging to find the one weapon that suited him best and stealing a grenade for good measure, he stepped out of the vault and saw that they were not only screaming, but using the PA system.

Subject 724 raised his weapon: a seemingly normal pistol. Soon a low humming sound was heard and Tepin pulled the trigger. With an enormous cracking noise, four scientists who were conveniently lined up fell to the ground with large fist-sized holes in their abdomens and the wall behind them.

The screams rose to even louder volumes a one near an intercom cried: "OH GOD, HE FOUND THE GAUSS PISTOL!" Tepin fired again and again, some shots killing several while others killed few. Blood splattered, screams resounded, and limbs flew. Eventually the magazine emptied and he dropped the gun. Everyone in the room lay either dead or dying. He walked to the storage closet and forced the door open.

Inside were five scientists, cowering. Tepin's face twisted into a snarl as he tore open a crate of batteries and filled a few of his pockets with them before stealing some spools of conductive thread. He kicked over the crate as he walked to the doorway and removed the grenade from his pocket. Pulling the pin he tossed it to the middle of the room and stepped out, sealing the door shut. The trapped people didn't even get a chance to scream before the grenade exploded.

Tepin reopened the door to examine his handiwork. The storage room was absolutely destroyed with ruined supplies scattered everywhere. The grenade was concussive and sent objects flying everywhere, several of them finding their way into the cowards.

He walked away from the site and began to destroy any electrical device he could find. Computers were destroyed and the data lost, several grenades were blown up inside the weapons vault, and all locks and notes were sabotaged. Tepin smiled and left the lab.

[thesouleater]

Will stared at the man before him and frowned. Most of his senses came back to him and he replied calmly. "No inconvenience at all."

He now also stared at the large man at the other end of the hall, ignoring the gore on the wall, and a thought hit him. They would never make it out alive on their own, but if they were to work together, maybe...

Will coughed, trying to grab the attention of the two men before him. "I- uhhh..." He stopped, but then continued in a more confident tone after taking a deep breath. "Do you guys want to work together?" He spat it out and, in an attempt to look casual, shifted his finger into a thin blade and started picking at the dirt in his teeth.

-------
OOC : Sorry, quick comment. Just saying that I'll most likely comment/post frequently. I tend to have tons of spare time.

[Kimmolito]

"This is it... this is all we have..."
Dr. Hess held out a small syringe towards Chiquita who took it, smiling.
"Much appreciated doctor. It's not like this little toy was the main purpose of your experiments anyway."
"H... how do you know that?!"
"I've been reading your files. That little pet of yours... I'd really like to kill that."
"You can't! That's the entire reason for our research!"
She starts laughing.
"I know, don't worry, I'll control myself."

She slowly walked out of the small lab, she came face to face with one of the specimens. Before it could even react she had plunged her knife into it's throat, sending it gurgling to the floor.
"Boring..."

[Tarent]

At the time Sypher was arguing with a guard at his cell door. But, of course the side effect to the experiments was going wild again. The confused guard could only yell at him as Sypher blasted him with words in another language.
"Hey, why can't you just shut up for once? I can't understand what you are babbling about." The guard yelled at Sypher.
"Không, tôi sẽ không đóng cửa. Tôi muốn ra khỏi tế bào này. Các thí nghiệm đã cho tôi khả năng nhìn thấy trở lại, nhưng cổ áo này giữ cho tôi mù. Nó không phải như tôi có thể làm bất cứ điều gì khó khăn. " Sypher yelled back.
The guard yet again understood nothing he was saying.

The guard became infuriated and hit the cell door.
"Shut the hell up!" The guard yelled with a crimson face.
Just as the guard went to hit the door again the door opened. Sypher felt his collar loosen and he slowly took it off. As his sight came to, he smiled happily before looking at the guard.
"Hey, guard I can see." Sypher said in his thick English accent.
A few screams were heard from farther away.
"It seems the specimens are escaping, at least I don't have to worry about you." The guard said.
The guard pointed his finger at Sypher as to say. 'Stay put.' But as the guard walked to the end of the hall to see what has went on, Sypher had followed him quietly. Sypher took the baton from the guard quickly hitting the back of his head harshly. When the guard hit the floor Sypher loked for a gun, but the guard wasn't carrying one.
"You guards don't carry guns...perfect." Sypher said disappointed.
He started running down the halls, baton in hand desperately looking for an exit.

He could smell the blood from far away, and hear the other escaping. Sypher thought to himself, 'I'm to weak to escape myself I should find someone to help me.' Sypher was looking around for people trying to stay away from any guards.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Translation: No, I won't shut up. I want out of this cell. The experiments gave me the ability to see again, yet this collar keeps me blind. It's not like I could do anything harsh. - The language is Vietnamese.

[iamaninja]

The reptilian mutant looked over at 002
“Cell not too far fr’m yers” He jabbed his own chest with a claw. “158, yer never shut-up ‘bout yer damn poems or riddles or whatnot fer ages”
A cough grabbed his attention, he turned his cold gaze to the meat-sack, who had just now suggested ‘teaming up’, he racked his foggy memory for the number or alia of this one but could not remember, perhaps he didn’t even know.

Aquila snorted, the grin leaving his features “Work together wiv you fleshbags?” He shrugged; he had nothing to lose and might even gain something from it, after all he could always leave ‘em to their own devices later if he needed to.
“Why not? Could be easier ta get round”

He stood away from the wall and stretched his arms over his head, relishing the feel of the joints stretching and popping, he glanced at the others and growled before realizing the couldn’t understand that
He cleared his throat “Get movin’ den eh?”

[thesouleater]

Will's eye twitched. He had one man... mutant... working with him. He knew that he would have to be careful, to make sure not to anger them. But with the dozens of scientists and guards running around, working together would make their chances of escaping better.

Will felt a slight rocking sensation and guessed that they weren't on solid land, having been put to sleep on his journey from Earth to the Pandora Research Facilities. He had a vague memory of freaking out when a man had walked up to him holding a needle and passing out after the liquid was pushed into his blood-flow.

"One second..." Will held up a finger towards the mutant at the other end of the hall and turned towards the man that he had run in to. But before he could ask his question he saw the tip of a baton sticking out from around the corner he had ran around. His eyes narrowed and to anyone else watching, he just dissapeared from where he was standing and when he dissapeared, a high pitched scream was heard from around the corner.

Will walked back around in to the hallway with the mutant and the man. His right hand's fingers were now blades, soaked with blood. He licked the blood on his index finger and spat it out on the floor, frowning. "Gross. I hate that type of blood. As I was saying-" He flicked his hand, the blades turning back in to fingers, the blood gone. His eyes were focused on the man he had run into. "-are you going to work with us?"

[Kimmolito]

The alarm sounds through out the cell block as the special attack teams begin their attack. Heavily armed and armored soldiers charge in, and at the head of it all, Chiquita Espinosa.

She undoes the safety on her assault rifle.
"Kill em all!"
She put a bullet in the head of a specimen.
"COME ON! PUT UP A FIGHT DAMN IT!"
She shot another one.

[PantsTheReaper]

Tepin stopped. There was gunfire. The attack teams had been rallied. He almost panicked. It didn't matter how many scientists he killed, they were helpless. Without weapons, he wouldn't stand a chance. Tepin took off in the opposite direction of the noises, giving himself a boost with a large bang. With each turn, he held out his hand and gave a series of short blasts to redirect himself.

After the fifth turn, his eyes widened as he saw a group of three people. At this speed, collision would do major damage, so Tepin tried to improvise. He put his hands out in front of him and began rapidly applying concussive bursts. However, it didn't slow him down enough and he crashed into one of them. His actions did brake enough so that the impact wasn't serious, though.

[Insanity]

Sai looked curiously at the creature as it spoke, apparently it was specimen 158 who had been incarcerated a few cells away from his. And it seemed like it complained about his habit of speaking to himself "I feel that I am obligated to portray my sadness, and apologize for disturbing you with my-as you put it, damn poems and rhymes" he said and bowed towards 158. The man who had bumped in to him interrupted the conversation by asking if there was any interested in cooperating to escape, and apparently 158 was somewhat interested. But before Sai was able to answer the man disappeared around a corner, and apparently killed a guard.

When the man returned after the sudden diversion, his fingers had been turned in to blades, Sai tilted his head a little and eyed the strange looking hand until the man decided to turn it back to normal. He looked at the man, turned his head to look at 158, and then back again "Well, seeing as our combined strength would increase the chance of getting out, I can not come up with any reason to decline the offer" He bowed his head slightly and smiled.

[thesouleater]

Will nodded and grinned. "Alright then let-"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was smashed into by another man and fell over, an obvious 'OOF' escaping himself. Will frowned as he got up, muttering something along the lines of "I hate karma." and grabbed the man's arm, pulling him to his feet.

"You okay?" He asked, not actually caring if the man was or not. So before the man could actually reply, Will turned towards the other men. "As I was saying, lets leave. After that high pitched scream there are bound to be other guards coming this way."

[Higurashi]

Jack blinked. She could feel the power slowly re-entering her veins. It was that which had re-awakened her. Now she was pissed, and she wanted out of this damn cryo cell. The reason she was in cryo? Well, she may or may not be one of the more dangerous specimens in the entire facility. The poor bastards that were soon to die has learned that lesson well. Now Jack pushed with her power, and the door on the cryo cell broke, shooting outward, and casting electic pulses everywhere.

The mechs guarding Jack turned, only to find her already gone. The first mech looked over to the second, and shrugged. That was all it could do before it crumpled into a mess of fuel, parts, and eletric sparks. The remaining mech backed against a wall, aiming wildly with it's arm cannons. That didn't help it one bit. Jack was already pounding it's head in with a powerful electric pulse. THe two ton mech simply fell over, and blew up. Jack dived behind the first mech's, remains, and was sheilded from the blast.

In the hallway outside of cryo chamber 37, five guards turned only to meet their doom walking out the door. Jack simply raised her arm and crushed their heads in before they could even say shit, or any other cuss word for that matter. Jack walked dow the hall, blasting open cell doors and prying open cryo chambers as she went. The mob she assembled took various improvised weapons, and the guard's own captured guns, and began pouring down the halls in a hail of death.

[iamaninja]

Aquila grunted, he didn’t really care about whatever 002 talked about, if the man wanted to spout poetry he could, and then the man had. Of all things bowed to Aquila, odd little guy, must have had his brains scrambled at one point.

He snorted in bemusement as another subject tore down the hallway and slammed into the one who had originally suggested teaming up. He heard something muttered about Karma.

158 frowned, he could hear gunfire he raised his snout and sniffed the air, the new guy had brought the scent of guards with him, not to mention alarms had been blaring for a bit too. Indeed it would be a good idea to leave, Aquila put his thoughts into action and headed down the hall way, away from the sound of gunfire, he paused at his cell and stooped to lift the heavy door that had once held him captive.
It would be a good shield if he got into a fire-fight, and could be used as an offensive weapon.
A grin split his features; no-one liked having a nice heavy door slam into them.

He looked over is shoulder at the others “C’mon” He then resumed walking; holding the door with one hand like it was nothing. He wasn’t going to wait for the others and would rather get moving, they were probably gonna run into Espinosa’s ‘special attack team’ sooner or later.
He’d prefer later, paused once more at the end of the hall, glanced once more at the others to see if they were coming before stepping round.

[thesouleater]

Will jogged to catch up with the reptilian man and continued walking behind him, a few meters away. He decided not to say anything and kept in his own world, trying to figure out where they might be. After a while he came up with two different solutions. They were a) on a ship in the middle of the ocean, or b) on an aircraft very high in the sky. He came up with one other solution, but that was illogical.

"So, whats your name(s)?" Will asked, eventually getting bored of the silence.

[PantsTheReaper]

Tepin grunted as the other man helped him up, not answering his question. He took note of the people around him. A large reptilian mutant, a man in a tattered suit, and another man with orange/red hair that kept muttering poetry. The classic rag-tag team. When the mutant walked away, Tepin followed. There was strength in numbers, after all.

Tepin looked at Suit when he asked his question. "My name is Tepin," he replied in a monotone. "Subject No. 724, power generator No. 3, AKA Organic."

[iamaninja]

Names? Now they wanted to start getting to know each other, did they? He shook his head ruefully, the more people knew about each other; the harder it would be to make the hard decisions. Like leaving someone behind if they slowed him down or got injured.
He snorted in response; they had his specimen number; but he supposed his name would be easier to say then ‘158’, it wasn’t like he was giving them his life story, that of it he remembered anyway.

“One Five Eight. Aquila”
Aquila kept walking, he came to an open space, he paused at the entrance
Odd, there were no inmates or guards in this area, not even bodies. He could have sworn that inmates had rushed down here while they were rioting and trying to kill each other. Now there was no sign at all of anyone or anything.
“Strange”
He stepped aside to allow the others to get through the door

[Tarent]

Sypher heard gunfire...and smiled a happy smile. He quickly ran towards the gunfire stooping at a corner. He peeked around seeing three armed guards. 'Perfect.' He thought to himself. As he stepped around the corner the guards took aim.
"Stop right there, specimen." One of the guards said.
"Don't worry it's te one that wasn't given dangerous powers." Another said walking up to Sypher.
The guard nudged Sypher with the barrel of his gun.
"Alright, go on back to your cell until all of this is sorted out." The guard chuckled out.
When the guard turned to the others for a quick laugh, and to brag about him being brave. Sypher grabbed the gun fast turned it and shot the guard in the stomach. As the guard started to fall, Sypher shot the other two before they knew what was going on. Sypher looked around before taking the ammo from the other two and running off again.

He finally slowed down and was hecking out the gun. He wasn't paying much attention. He was stopped by a brick wall...no a reptile man. He fell back looking up at the other specimen.
"Hey, you're a big one." He said with a chuckle.

[The Magnan]

Jericho was sitting cross-legged on the floor, simply looking at his enlarged, purple-blotched hands. It was the same all other his body, he was almost completely deformed and he had only a few strands of hair left on his head. His eyes were twisted red and his cheeks looked pale. He was a long way from his past life as an engineer on the research vessel Xscalibur. That was how he became this monstrosity.

The scientists on board had been experimenting with a new form of element. Though to be capable of bring the dead back to life. However, in the host bodies parasites formed, and after an outbreak on the ship, the E-humans managed to take control. The Xscalibur became the first Hive Ship as the Hive's physical presence had merged itself with the ship’s system. The ship however was later destroyed and one the E-Humans later to be known as Jericho was taken to an installation called Pandora.

Being severed from the Hive allowed the E-Human to regain some of his human personality. He was however, kept in confinement to avoid a similar outbreak occuring. Jericho learned to talk although being severed from the Hive saved him, the emptiness in his mind left without purpose. He felt his life was over but instead he was pet to the scientists.

[thesouleater]

Will frowned at the mutant man after he saw him shake his head. "Would you rather me call you 'reptile' or 'mutant'? Or would you like me to call you by your name?" He turned to Tepin and took in his appearance. "Do I remember you from somewhere?"

Will turned back around as to not walk into Aquila if he decided to stop, but he already had and Will's face wasn't even a centimeter from Aquila's back. He slowly moved backwards slightly so that he could stand normally. "I'm Will. No. 604."

Watching Aquila turn, Will peered into the unusually empty, plain space. "What's with that? You would think this place would be crowded with guards and..." He stopped what he was saying, remembering some of the experiments placed on himself. He then saw a man with a gun walk into Aquila.

[Kimmolito]

Dr. Hess was standing at the console. He knew what he should do, get Alpha out, load her on a ship and leave for Earth. But to get to Alpha he would have to leave the security zone...
"What do I do?"
He was tempted to blow up the station... but he knew they'd have him shot for it... he had to somehow get to Alpha.
He slammed his fist into the console.
"I don't have a choice do I?"
He grabbed the gun laying on the low table and stared wwalking towards the security doors.

The attack teams had made it to the first cells, they had taken casualties, but these were crack troops, trained to contain outbreaks like these.
Chiquita was at the front, thoroughly disappointed this wasn't the challenge she was looking for.
"Damn, aren't any of these shits going to put up a fight?!"
The other soldiers were getting a bit nervous, the captain was getting very loud and some of them were a bit worried she might start shooting them soon...

The mob turned the corner and came upon the secruity troop's advance. The poured down the corridor into the killing ground, firing theirs weapons in the Security forces general direction.

Meanwhile, Jack was heading for the one place that she knew she would eventually find the Doctor, if he didn't get himself killed. Jack ripper down a survalince camera, and wired herself into the system. She scanned the halls, looking for the right place.

[iamaninja]

He snorted as the man pretty much bounced off him, Aquila glared suspiciously down at the man who had walked into him, arms folded across his broad chest, why didn’t people watch where they were going? Then a slow smile split his face, revealing jaggedly sharp teeth, big one, eh?
“Dun nobody watch wheres they goin’ no more?”

He then stepped past the man and into the room, glancing over his shoulder at 604, at Will, and grunted softly before answering
“Fulla guards? Maybe, but dis a testin’ area, thought there’d be sumint in ‘ere”
He turned back to surveying the room, occasionally raising his head to sniff the air, he was being cautious, and having no desire to end up dead or back in a cell.

[thesouleater]

Will nodded. There should be no reason that there was nothing in the gap of space. The building was large -that was obvious- but they could have easily used all of the rooms. They could have even used this for extra boxes of stuff.

Will was surveying the room another time when he noticed a tiny, thin crack in the floor. His eyes followed the crack all the way around the room.

He came up with three solutions; a) it was a trap, b) this was a garbage chute that had been cleaned or c) the crack was just a crack and it conveniently went all the way around to room, making said room unstable. Will almost automatically ruled out the third solution and went with the first two.

"You might wanna get back on to solid ground." Will crouched down, running his fingers over the crack. "Theres a crack running around this whole room. It looks to me that its either a trap, or a cleaned garbage chute. The trap seems more likely though." He stood back up.

[The Magnan]

Jericho only just realised his cell door had opened. He felt a stinging feeling in the back of his head. Could it be, he was mutating into the Hive Mind, with a station this big, it would spell disaster for all life. He allowed his E-Humans senses to kick in as he exited into the corridor. He could pick up life, their heat signature would be his greatest advantage. He crept slowly down the corridor and turned right. All around he could hear weapons fire. His best chance of survival would be to infect the guards.

Or us the air vents. He would need somewhere secure for when he does become the Hive. Jericho stopped how would he know if he would become the same Hive as the one Xscalibur. He sighed nervously and continued forward.
(sorry about this im trying to jump into this roleplay as quickly as possible)

[Kimmolito]

Dr. Hess had walked through the security doors, he saw the dead bodies of the specimen, Espinoza's assault team had been thorough. He remembered the number of every single one of them... his mind worked like that. He was extremely nervous, he was a scientist, not a soldier... he was supposed to study these things from behind glass, in safety. He had to get to the elevator to Alpha's holding cell... that was still far to go... and what if some of the specimens survived the assault team's attack...
He could hear the gunfire up ahead.
"At least... they're still alive." Meaning, they're still clearing the way for him...

Chiquita had taken four soldiers with her to head down a branching corridor. She came upon a cell with the door ripped loose and supposedly brought with them...
"I know who did this... you scaly mother fucker..." She grinned, specimen 158, she had seen it, hulking brute, she had wanted to kill him since she came to this place.
"Come on boys, we're going hunting."
She loaded a grenade into the assault rifle's grenade launcher.

[The Magnan]

Jericho sensed others were nearby, a female unarmed. Four other males armed. He looked around for any possible ambush spot. He saw a tinted glass window too his left, he forced the door open with his claws and entered. He crouched behind the window. They must be getting close. The thought of company conforted him.

[iamaninja]

Aquila took a cautious step back into the hallway; if it was a trap then he had no wish for it to go off while he was in there. That seemed just like the scientists, leave all kinds of booby-traps and whatnot all over the place.

He nodded his thanks to Will for alerting him to the possible danger, if that room was a trap then there was only one way to go, and that’d be the corridor to the left, unless they wished to head back through the cell block.

“Either that way or head back ta cells” He turned to look at the others
“Whaddya’s think? Which way?” It wasn’t that hard a choice really, either back the way they had come, go left to who-knows-where or try to cross the room.
Aquila wanted their opinions and he certainly had no wish to lead this little rag-tag group everywhere.

He scented the still air once more; everything seemed a little…easy. No guards, no scientists and the other subjects seemed to have disappeared into the woodwork, he growled softly to himself, not liking it one bit.

[The Magnan]

Jericho also sensed other mutants, but he waited patiently, he attack when least expected. He just hoped the glass was not bullet proof. Otherwise his plan would fail and it would be the end of him.

[thesouleater]

Will thought about their situation for a moment. Either way there was a chance that they would run into guards since they didn't know the layout of the building all too well. But if they went back through the cells, they were back where they started and Will hated going back to the start.

"I say the corridor." Will voted, motioning towards the hallway. He shifted one of his fingers into a blade and started to pick at his teeth again. The blood from the guard a little while back was still tainted in his mouth and he enjoyed the taste of metal more since he was used to it.

[Kimmolito]

Chiquita shouted at the top of her lungs as she kept walking.
"158! You scaly son of a bitch! Come out!"
She squeezed her assault rifle tight in her hands, she wanted to kill that freak and skin it... no, stuffing it, keeping it as a trophy.
"Ma'am... are you sure you should be calling for it..."
One of the soldiers cautiously added. Chiquita looked at him and grinned.
"Yes, I am." The she shouted again. "You damn freak! Come here!"

Meanwhile Dr. Hess had almost made it to the elevator, he just had to walk around the corner. As he peeked around he saw one. Specimen 498, he healed, very quickly... and he was holding a lead pipe.
"What do I do..." He whispered to himself.
As luck would have it 198 started to walk away and when he had passed around the corner Dr. Hess rushed up to the elevator and called it.

[The Magnan]

Jericho left the room, and continued forward, not knowing the layout of the facility, he followed the heat signatures. He was unsure of whether or not they were hostile and if they were, then he would have to use his speed and strength to overpower them, which should not be too difficult.

[Higurashi]

When Jack found the appropriate place, she started heading for it. There was only one obvious way to Alpha's cell, the elevator. She started running for it. In her way stood two guards, five mechs, and one officer dressed up in riot control kit. None of those mntioned lasted for more than a second. It was a close fight however, as the officer was holding a shotgun specially tuned against her powers. Apparently they had heard of her rampage, and they wanted the credit for killing her. After she had sufficiently dealt with them, Jack continued running.

When she reached the elevator on her level, she found the sliding door panel ripped open by an enormous force. She looked into the elevator shaft, and saw total destruction. The elevator she could tell was stuck on Alpha's level, and with it being the mess it was, there was no way it was going anywhere. She heard a chime from a few floors up, and she shot a powerful feild its way.

[The Magnan]

Jericho, found an air vent, and pulled the grating off it. It was cramped but it would be the best way to travel the facility. And after navigating he came out on one of the levels above. Guards turned the corner. He stood up and ran forward. they readied they weapons and fired. Jericho leaped over the hail of bullets and using both claws landed, and sliced each throat. They were now infected. He waited a few minutes. The two E-Humans got to there feet. It was hard now to believe that Jericho had once been one of them

[iamaninja]

Corridor it is, Aquila stalked cautiously down it and came to a dead stop as sound came to his ears, as he listened; his lips pulled back into a snarl. Espinoza. Of course she would come looking for him, he had known that she had been wanting to kill him since day one, bruja probably wanted to mount his head on a wall or something.

He turned to the others "We're bein' hunted" He looked away, returning to his cautious listening
“Listen”

[The Magnan]

Jericho and the new E-Humans kept moving. Jericho noticed a few things on the wall nearby. Something to do with Alpha. He felt his head, the mutation with in him was spreading rabidly. They could hear his thoughts and he could hear theirs.

[thesouleater]

Will stood and listened. He had to focus a lot to listen for who was hunting them, since he had lost a little bit of his hearing from gunfire and concerts when he was still a normal human. But he still heard them. The leader was shouting at the top of their lungs.

"Making a trap would take too long. We should keep moving." Will said. He scratched his arm which still had needle puncture wounds along it and accidentaly made one bleed. "Dammit!" He exclaimed, covering it up with his finger.

[The Magnan]

(Some much is happening, i don't know who too bump into)

Jericho pressed his hand against the wall, it began to turn dirt brown, pulsated like a heart. Jericho suddenly released he was different Hive Mind. The dirt brown E-wall began to spread, not just along the wall but also the floor. Slow and almost unoticable. Jericho now knew how the Xscalibur had been overrun so easily.

[iamaninja]

"Hmm?" Aquila glanced down at Will, who had managed to hurt himself.
He whispered disapprovingly at him.
"Keeps it down wills ya? Tryin' ta get away 'ere"

He ushered them down the corridor, careful not to scrape the former cell door along the wall or floor, he’d put it down but he reckoned that if he did that then he would end up needing it.
He was not looking forward to a confrontation with Espinoza

[thesouleater]

Will sneered. "I'm pretty sure you don't want a blood trail either." He replied.

The corridor was plain. The rusted metals creating it creaked slightly when too much pressure was put on one point. At one point Will nearly fell over when a piece of metal made a loud sound. He ended up jumping off of it instantly and losing his balance.

Will was starting to get bored, so he squeezed past Aquila and dissapeared. Or, that was what it looked like. He had actually just ran up ahead to see what was going on. The corridor was empty as far as Will could see. He appeared in behind Aquila again. "Nothing up ahead. But I'm not so sure about behind."

[Boss-Lolita]

((Oh my, I'm late ._.))

Vissen had been chilling in her cell, not really caring she could leave. Not like she had anything to go back to at home. Finally, she ripped the collar off her neck, stood, and disguised herself as a sweet little girl. Standing at the door, she started crying " Help! Please, someone help me!"

Her personal guard stood and opened the door in alarm. He was quickly disarmed and killed. Vissen stepped over his body and walked silently down the hall, her looks changing to that of a guard. She easily glided through the passages, stopping only when she turned a corner and found herself far in front of Aquila and Will. Vissen blinked, not moving.

[PantsTheReaper]

"I will scout the back," said Tepin, turning. He pushed himself against the wall and edged towards the corner. He peered around the bend, laying flat on the floor to create a smaller target. Nothing. He scowled. This was too quiet, too safe. Either something even more dangerous than most of the subjects were loose, or everything was a trap. Cautiously, Tepin made his way back to his "allies".

"There is nothing," he told them, "but that must mean danger. We should have been confronted by some sort of assault force by now. They must be waiting. We should keep an eye out for people, and attack anyone wearing intact everyday clothes. They can't possibly be subjects."

[The Magnan]

Jericho's Hive infestation ws starting to spread quicker, soon he could control various areas simply with his mind. Xscalibur was lost in very much the same way. He wondered however, how long it would take for security to take notice. But the parasite's lodged into the walls emerged and scattered around the facility. The two E-Humans picked up a scent. Jericho halted and sniffed air.
