one.
You should pass that on to the others. Until we get this war done with, showing
rank is necessary."
"Confirmed," said Amanda. Aleesha
giggled, and we both joined her.
The others came in progressively. I
absently noted that everyone had tooled up, over their Dress uniforms. I'd felt
strange doing it, but also felt compelled to. Looks like I wasn’t the only one.
Just before eight, we all trooped out
through the Cargo Bay.
My danger proximity alarm went off the
moment I stepped on the top of the ramp, my suit shifted to full coverage, and
I took a blow to the left temple that cartwheeled me backwards, landing on my
left side.
Ten handguns roared seconds later. There
was a thump in the distance. My medical monitor immediately gave me pain
relief, and I went fuzzy and giddy for a moment.
"You alright Jon?" asked
Annabelle.
"Yes," I replied. "I think
so."
I didn't move. Neither did my suit change
back.
"Are you getting up?" asked
Amanda.
"No, I'll stay here for a while. I like
it down here. It's very peaceful."
BA hauled me back up onto my feet. My suit
still hadn't changed. I took a step towards the ramp.
Another blow, even more powerful than the
last one, struck me in the left side of the chest, and I went spinning backwards.
Again, ten handguns roared, and there was
another thump in the distance.
"Jane, perimeter, use the combat
droids." I barked it out through clenched teeth.
"Confirmed."
Sixty combat droids came to life, and raced
out as far as where the two bodies were lying, forming a ring around the
docking area.
My suit changed back to Sci-Fi Dress.
The twins hurried over to me, and helped me
back on my feet. I was hurting all down my left side again. My heart area felt
like it was exploding, and my left knee throbbed where I'd come down on the
deck on it.
"FUCK THIS!" I roared, and limped
as fast as I could down the ramp towards the second body.
I found a tripod stand with a Meson Blaster
on it, next to an unconscious man.
I pulled out my right gun, extracted the laser
activator bolt from the holster, and armed the gun for full laser. This was
actually illegal, but I didn’t care.
I looked around. No-one had moved. All eyes
were on me. My eyes went looking for station cams. I noted three of them
pointed directly at me.
I looked directly at one of the cams.
"I know you're going to see this, you
bastard," I yelled. "I don’t know who you are, but hear this. I'm
coming for you! And this is what's going to happen to everyone you send against
me."
I put my gun against the head of the
unconscious man, and pulled the trigger once. Six shots made a mess.
I limped over to the other man, and did the
same thing.
I calmly removed the laser bolt, placed it
back on the holster, changed the charge to a fresh one, and holstered the gun.
"Collect the weapons Jane."
The nearest droids picked up the Pulse Rifle
and Meson Blaster, tripod and all, and carried them towards the ship.
As I turned to move back to the ship, a
group of security officers ran up. The youngest of them, who looked younger
than I was, found the nearest bush, and threw up.
The officer in charge looked me in the eyes,
and hurriedly looked down. I could tell he was shit scared of me.
"You want a piece of me Officer?"
I asked.
"Ah, no sir," he responded.
"I watched the whole thing on hollo as it went down. These two misguided
men tried to kill you, and their weapons malfunctioned, killing them
instantly."
I looked at him for a moment. Some of the
anger began to leech out of me.
"If you need me for a statement, I'll
be at the celebration."
"Yes sir. I won't hold you up any
longer, sir."
"Thank you."
I walked back to the ramp. Alsop looked
appalled. Vonda had the look of someone trying to control her shock. The rest
were smiling.
Aleesha turned to Amanda.
"I told you sis, you created a
monster."
Amanda laughed. I limped up the ramp. At
the top I stopped, and turned.
"Give me five," I said, and
carried on into the ship.
