Odysseus accesses the primary systems conduits, and shouts into the overhead speakers that trace throughout the entire ship. “Hello? Hello? Is this thing on? Ok. Here’s the deal. I have my sword set on top of the ship’s vital system conduits. If you don’t stop fighting, Ill cut them. That includes you, Andaluza. First thing to go will be the navigation and engine pathways, meaning we crash into the planet under the full force of gravity, in which case it won’t matter who we kill. Next is the power conduits, shutting off shielding so we burn up in the atmosphere of the planet. Last thing to be cut will be the atmospheric controls. Bye bye temperature control, oxygen and nitrogen. So, who would like to test me first?” Odysseus glances at the monitors, waiting for a response.

Odysseus enters the primary atmospheric and energy control panel, and accesses the wiring.

<i>Odysseus begins whistling, balancing one of his electrified knives on his knees in his seat. He glances at a monitor, and sees Andaluza boarding the ship as the docking bay doors open, and keeps whistling as the group argues, as he walks away down a cooridor.</i>

Odysseus steps into the cockpit, and sighs, shaking his head. “For people who claim to be experienced, you certainly have no subtlety or people skills. First of all, no game plan. Second of all, you just put a knife to the neck of the person currently piloting our ship. Which, mind you, is obviously dangerous.” Odysseus sits down in an adjacent chair and straps himself in, preparing himself for all hell to break loose. “So, Jack. Your proof?”

“Hey! Wait! How do you know? What is your proof that Kika is a traitor? And besides, killing her is a waste. We could get information out of her.”

<i>Odysseus, in a bright shimmering blue light, suddenly appears besides Apollo, and pulls a tracker off of Apollo’s back. Odysseus speaks into his arm monitor, </i>”Excellent, SAL! The trans-system teleport seems to work excellently!” A sullen, electronic voice with a mild Scottish accent, Odysseus’s AI SAL, responds through the monitor. “Yes, sir. I suppose it does. Now if you’ll excuse me, I plan to listen to opera and compose love poetry in silent solitude. Thank you, sir.”

<i>The shadowy Ozymandias looks at a row of monitors in a data room in the base, alongside Midzog, tracking massive fleets of ships across great distances and into numerous neighboring galaxies. </i>”Project Shelley appears to be coming along quite nicely. My my, we are expanding quickly. We need more power, but our forces are working efficiently. 137 habitable worlds taken. 1357 habitable systems … 147 billion casualties… But we need to work quicker. Earth is posing the expected challenge … But we cannot defeat her or Inversia yet. They will have to remain for last. Already I can feel the power flowing through my veins, all the energy of these worlds.” Ozymandias moves his hand, as it flashes brightly briefly and Ozymandias’ eyes glow for a moment. “Yet I am still so very unstable. You have been a good lieutenant, Midzog. Do not deviate from our tasks, and you will join with me for the new world. But now. I must return to my isolation and calculation. Good-bye.” Ozymandias steps out of the room, his hands shaking, as Midzog nervously shuffles his feet, contemplating the massive progress the OGA has before it.

(Geralt, no need to go to the hangar control room. The doors are opening.)

The shadowy figure responds, “your work is good. I admire that. Follow them. If possible, earn their trust. And trust me, if I could kill them, I would. But that’s not entirely up to us, or me. Follow your mission. And good luck.” The figure turns out of the shadows, it’s red eyes glowing bright in the low lighting, and Kika looks shocked, recognizing the face. “We have a glorious future in store for us, for all of us, my dear. We are going to change the world.” The figure smiles, then grimaces and coughs, stepping out of the room with Midzog, as his hands begin to shake.

(Heading to a hangar to escape. Malice is an old pupil of Rose in Magic, but forgot. I split off from the group to meet up with Gideon, and the backstabbing Kika tried trap yall before Ozymandias stopped her, telling her killing yall is not part of the plan yet.)
-
The shadowy figure presses a button, and the hangar doors begin to reopen.
-
A shadowy figure steps into the box, Ozymandias, along with Midzog, and sits at the controls, staring at the firefight below, and says in a familiar but raspy voice, “Let them go. We can’t kill them yet, and they are wasting our soldiers. They will die when they must… Midzog, I must say, surely your child knows that Jack and Apollo are not meant to be killed.”

Odysseus channels his weapon fire from the roof and leaps between roof levels and ground paths, incapacitating several OGA officers as he leads the charge to a central hangar. “Come on,” he shouts. “Get to the ships!” Odysseus pulls Apollo to the side. “I will be remaining behind on the planet. I have a meeting with your brother, Gideon, planning a resistance movement. Get a ship, and get off the planet with these new recruits. They’re promising. I’ll try to hold the other soldiers off; buy you a bit of time.” Odysseus winks and runs towards the remaining soldiers, brandishing twin electrified steel spathas (swords of ancient Mediterranean design, typically straight and narrow).

Odysseus takes up a higher position, scaling across rooftops towards the wall as he tracks the moving patrols and monitors the safety of his fellow team members.

“You honestly think that could kill him? HiFly, so naive. Stop fighting. We need to get out of here. Now.”
