Chapter Three: Three Dead Men
-
Odysseus sees the video footage, and stops breathing for a moment, overcome with anger and grief. “SAL,” he cries, “the other worlds… Please tell me that they are faring be-” ‘Sir… I’m sorry.’ Odysseus slams the table, and stares down. “How many causualties?” ‘…’
-
“I’m sorry but this is something the both of us can do right now and you have to understand that and be brave, be strong, we all know life does not goes the way you want. People have a choice in what they want, right now you’re not giving her a choice, freedom to choose or live how she wants, please consider her feelings, a relationship is not one sided after all. I’m sure after all this things will get better even if it is uncertain.”
-
After SAL hesitates, Odysseus yells at him, “Tell me, SAL! How many estimated casualties? TELL ME!” <i>SAL seems to clear his electronic throat, and mumbles softly </i>’1.2 Trillion. They took about 12 billion children of varying races, but every other person they killed. The OGA didn’t even get a scratch. What’s odd is that this was not in any of the OGA chatter, indicating that this has been planned for several years covertly, with orders already in the ships themselves.’
-
Geralt steps back from Malice and Katherine. Alright, I get it, you don’t want me getting in the way and killing the two of you. Fine, if that’s what you really want. Geralt wuickly walks off to find a dark corner on the ship. I just need to sit down and collect my thoughts, maybe I can find a way to help them. Geralt reaches into his pocket and feels a rock in his pocket, he then realizes that this is the rock that allows non-Ascendii to mirror. Thank you Apollo.
-
Katherine heard SAL and shuddered a bit terrified as dark thoughts entered her head, “How could they just….”
Katherine bit her lip a bit worried as she saw Geralt left, but she didn’t dare move, wanting to here what SAL would say next.
-
Apollo slams his fist on the table. “A TRILLION OF PEOPLE?! DEAD?!” Apollo began pacing, obviously frustrated on the loss of life. [50 OGA deaths compared to trillions of innocents, and billions captured! If the Ascendii were in this, they would beat the shit out of the OGA. That is, until Midzog is killed. We need Midzog dead.]
-
SAL seems to be waiting, and Odysseus questions him, “SAL, what aren’t you telling me?” SAL continues to hesitate, and then responds, ‘Sir, do you recall their reports of experimentation in Omega Particles?’ “Of course, SAL.” ‘Well, they seem to have figured out how to… How to convert a planet with them… Into energy. They’re destroying the planet’s matter, and consuming the energy.’
-
Apollo, amazed by the news, instantly looks at the OGA flight map. “They are going to destroy Darmos-3. Gas giant, no life, but a fission reactor of a planet. Almost a star if it were any bigger. Go there?”
-
“HELL NO!, in all my years!”, Pandora’s wings thrashed angrily and her tattoo glowed bright, she honestly wanted to go back to the OGA guy her “shanked” and shanke him again 5,000 times to get her anger out.
-
*Pandora chouldn’t help her self as her right fist blazed with anger the heat level in the room raised, when it got to the point when her right wing started to smoke she opened her fist and shook it extinguishing the flame, her wings shook and a couple feathers dropped to the ground at the force of the jerk, her tattoo still illuminated brightly on her arm and leg, its light starting to filter through her pant leg, “I really want to kill a OGA soldier right now”, she though and started taking off the OGA armor she had on discussed at it*
-
Jack climbed into the cruiser, taking off. He saw that the gang was all here, once again. As Geralt flung himself on the floor, begging for Rose to take him, he felt extremely uncomfortable. Also by Apollo’s words.
“Look dude, she never even flirted with you. She’s not into you, this is getting kinda weird.”
-
“Sorry bud, she’s just a girl you got way too obsessed over. I mean, you guys have only known each other for what, two weeks? Chill the fuck out, man.” <i>Jack was interrupted by Ody’s news.</i>
“Okay, here’s the plan. We still need to rescue those kids, so we need to split up. Apollo, Ody, we go to stop that planet. Geralt, Faye, I need you two to find the kids and rescue them. And Geralt, keep an eye on her. ” Jack said, still distrusting of her ways but forced to trust her.
“If the OGA’s killed that many, then they’re planning something big. Fuck, I should have known.” Jack said, punching the dash of Ody’s ship and shattering it.
“Isn’t it strange that the OGA’s given us so much trouble out of nowhere? Plus all the ridiculously ballsy moves they’ve done recently…I don’t know what they’re doing, but…if they’re starting to need so much energy they have to start harvesting planets, then…they’re gonna have a very, very big machine.”
-
*Pandora turned to Jack*”Can i go?”, she asked calming her self down but her Tattoo still glowed bright with rage.
-
Apollo quickly tapped Pandora. “You’re coming with me. I like you, that’s why. Not anything else. Also, I think you might know how to destroy the machine, or at least incapacitate it.”
Apollo ran down to the hangar and chose a gunship with three seats. “I’ll fly. Pandora, you can be the artillery and gunner, and Odysseus will be the navigator because I have no idea what I’m doing.”
-
Malice talked to Rose a bit before they left together . Only Rose came back saying “I’ll help out a bit , but not for too long.”
