The Project

[Destroyeron]

He was the one no one knew about. He was the one no one cared about. He worked for the Terran Republic, and only he and one other person knew that. He was an infiltrator; designed from birth to kill, deceive and be undetected. He name was Starrider. This is his story.

He was born in the Terran Republic Sanctuary. His mother was an intelligence collector, stealth as normal people called them. His father, Sputty was a commanding officer. They were both highly respected members of the Dragonwolves outfit. His mother, at an early age, taught him how to be silent when walking and running. Sputty soon after taught him how to fire a gun; teaching him the correct grin to allow precise aiming and how to reload quickly. Starrider had his first gun at age 5. It was a Terran Republic Repeater that had a special switch that would allow it to shoot small undamaging pellets, but the gun could easily be switched back to the real thing. Starrider's marksmanship was amazing for a five year old. Everyone in Clan Draconus Lupus acted as if they were his parents, and Starrider spent most of his early years at the Terran Republic Sanctuary, where CDL returned after battles.

When Starrider was eight years old Sputty decided to take him to the Training Room. Starrider was very excited and ran after his father eagerly as they headed for the Training Room. "Pick one son," Sputty said as they entered the massive Training Room and motioned to the simulators. Starrider ran to the closest one and hopped into the pilot seat. Sputty laughed at his eagerness and then closed the simulator door, emerging Starrider in darkness. The simulators lights flicked on and light flooded the simulator cockpit. Starrider immediately knew he was in the pilot seat of a Marauder, the Terran Republic's heavy buggy. Sputty had showed Starrider all the vehicles, and how to work most of them. Then the rest of the simulation came to life, and suddenly Starrider was emerged in a bright, snow covered mountain. In dark red letters the words "get to the tech plant" emerged in front of Starrider. Then the simulation proceeded to explain how to shift, and to use the gas, but Starrider was already barreling down the road towards the tech plant. Suddenly a New Conglomerate soldier in Standard Armour emerged from the woods about 2 miles down the road. The simulation then began how the driver can use the gun to fire upon enemy units, and that the driver may be able to run over the opposition.

Starrider listened to the simulation then jammed on the gas; at about 500 yards the enemy soldier began shooting at Starrider. Starrider ducked as bullets bounced into and off the Marauder's armour. Starrider had the pedal to the medal and was barely able to keep control of the Marauder, and then suddenly there was a crash as the soldier smashed into the front of the Marauder. The soldier�s chest was indented and there was blood all over the Marauder. Starrider�s stomach churned a little bit, but nothing more happened. He swerved to the right to turn into the tech plant and the body flew off the buggy, Starrider not paying it any attention. "Mission Complete" came up in dark red letters, and the light went off and the simulation door opened.

Starrider hopped out of the simulation chamber and was immediately rewarded by Sputty with a few pats on the back. "Great job!" Sputty said pulling his son close as he ripper off the paper from the simulation explaining Starrider's score. Sputty looked over the paper and handed it to Starrider, "You did above average!" Starrider looked at the paper and didn't exactly understand all the statistics, but knew he did well. "Let�s do another one!" he exclaimed, giving his father "if I don't get it I'll cry" face. Sputty laughed and said, "Alright, you can stay here as long as you want, I'll be back in say, an hour?" Starrider nodded and bounded away towards the next simulation down the line.
Sputty walked out of the Training Area just as Starrider began to fly a Reaver over a desert filled wasteland.

After about an hour Sputty walked into the Training Room, and at the far end, saw the Basilisk Simulation going absolutely haywire. Sputty raised a curious eyebrow as the simulation suddenly went still and returned to its default position. The door opened and out fell Starrider. He stood up, wobbled for a bit, and fell down flat on his face. He sat up and leaned against a nearby pillar. Sputty walked over to Starrider laughing and said, "That the new skydiving basilisk simulator?" Starrider rolled his eyes in exasperation, "I don't think I like Basilisks Dad." Sputty laughed and lifted his son up and into the air. Suddenly Sputty's arms grew weak and dropped Starrider to the floor, and then Sputty fell to his side. "Dad?" Starrider said cautiously as he crawled to his father. He pushed on his Dads arm, but nothing moved except as it fell off Sputty's side. Starrider�s eyes went wide with terror and he leapt onto of his father, only to notice a Terran Republic Chainblade in the back of his fathers upper torso. It was right through the spine. Starrider was balling in tears. As he laid his head down on his fathers shoulder he noticed something jogging out of the Training Room. It was a stealth. Then the stealth disappeared around the corner.

After another 30 seconds of weeping over his father and crying out his name three Terran Republic soldiers ran into the Training Room and saw Starrider and Sputty. "What happened?" asked the soldier in front. Starrider looked at the soldier in absolute amazement and screamed, "What the hell do you think happened?! He died!" The soldier called for medics and the soldiers tried to comfort Starrider, but it was no use. Two medics ran in and quickly checked for vital signs on Sputty, there were none. They shook their heads and reported the death to the med lab. After another 5 minutes of crying, and being told everything was going to be ok Starrider finally slightly let up on the crying. The soldiers lifted him up, and the medics took Sputty away on a stretcher. Starrider clung to one of the soldiers who held him closely. "My names Cablekid, where is your dorm?" he asked Starrider, and he told him, "I'll walk you home. Is your mother there?" Starrider shook his head, but at that moment his mother ran through the doorway, so fast she had to be using the surge implant. Starrider and his mother embraced and sniffled over the loss of Sputty. Starrider's mother kept assuring him that everything would be ok.

After what seemed forever, Starrider and his mother finally made it back to their rooms. Tears were still swelled in their eyes as they entered the room and sat down on the bed, starrider's mother hugging Starrider closely. Then came a knock at the door and a Terran Republic social worker came in. "Hello, I'm a social worker. I've been sent down here to help you two in your current situation.

"My name is Squeeky," said the social worker. Starrider and Starrider's mother both nodded, sitting on the bed, still holding each other. "Now before I begin I have to ask you some questions," Squeeky said, suddenly becoming serious, "Do you know anyone who would harm Mr. Sputty?" Starrider's mother suddenly stood up, "We're in a damn war here! What do you think?" Squeeky sat still and nodded in agreement, "what I meant is anyone on our side." Starrider's mother sat back down and shook her head, "No, I don't." Squeeky scribbled a note on his notepad, then looked up and asked "Do you have an personal enemies?" Starrider's mother shook her head again. Squeeky nodded in acknowledgement and scribbled another note on his pad. "Now are there any questions you have for me?" Squeeky looked at Starrider and Starrider's mother expectantly. "Who was the stealth in the Training Room?" Starrider asked quietely. "I'm sorry?" Squeeky asked, eyebrow raised. "I saw a stealth run out of the Training Room when Dad died," Starrider said softly. Squeeky immediately scribbled down on his pad then stood up, "Thank you, I have to go report this." With a Salute to Starrider's mother Squeeky was out the door, sprinting down the hallway...

It has been one month since Squeeky left Starrider and his mother in their room. Still, the killer has yet to be found, and Starrider begins to learn the feeling of anger... "Why can't the find whoever killed him?" Starrider erupted out of fustration as his mother looked at him. "I don't know honey," his mother replied and they embraced with tears. "I miss him too," she said. Then came a knock at the door and a Terran Republic soldier came in, of the same rank as Sputty was. It was Cyber. "Cyber?" she asked. Cyber took off his helmet as a sign of respect, and nodded. "Come in," she motioned. Cyber stepped in and closed the door behind him. You sense something was uneasy about him. "Cyber are you allright?" she motioned for Cyber to sit down. Cyber sat down and placed hit helmet on his lap. "I don't think Starrider would appreciate to hear this," he whispered to her. She motioned and Starrider went into the next room, but then crept back in and his behind the couch where he could listen without being seen.

"I probabaly should have told you sooner..." Cyber started, and Starrider's mother listened intently, "Before Sputty...left us, he told me that he had suspicions of someone being leaking information to the New Conglomerate." Starrider's mothers gaze drifted from reality then she said, "Why didn't he tell me?" "He didn't want to worry you," Cyber answered, "He also wasn't exactly sure because the person he suspected was a high ranking official." "Who?" Starrider's mother asked softly. Cyber looked at her and then his gaze drifted into thought. "Hamma," he finally answered creakily. Starrider's mother face fell grim. "Your joking?" she asked quakily. Cyber shook his head.
