Chapter 1: A Long Road
NC Sanctuary FC Base Searo was bored, horribly bored. The doctor wouldn't let him fight for another two weeks. How would he pass the time? Also, Shimmer was gone on a mission, and he wouldn't see her for a while. The base was practically deserted, everyone was out attacking. Searo decided to train in the VR sims for the whole time, so his skills wouldn't get rusty. He clicked on AGN, "In other news, a Vanu base was ransacked by New Dawn, rescuing Lt. Colonel AztecWarrior. We'll go to war expert Bob Murphy on the invasion of Searhus two days ago." "Thanks Linda. The Terran Republic forces mobilized to take control of the warpgates, and block off the New Conglomerate troops from leaving. But, a massive NC force HART dropped from the air, saving the cut off forces of New Dawn and Freedom Corp. The New Conglomerates then began to withdraw, when a massive quake on the Riechter scale shook the continent. The lull in the battle prompted the Terrans to flee, although nothing happened." "That's very odd, Bob." "Indeed Linda. Now to Greg-" Click, he turned it off. Aztec had been captured? He hadn't known that. Maybe that's why Shiver had to leave so soon. The earthquake was strange as well, he had left before it happened. Searo shook his head and wheeled himself into the VR room. ============================================== The Galaxy hurtled towards the tiny base, and Shimmer glanced back at the passenger bay, loaded with explosives. She pushed the dead pilot out of the way, and opened the teal and purple cargo bay doors. Shimmer jumped out, dampeners flaring behind her, as she controlled her descent. She watched the Galaxy smash into the bunker lab, totally destroying it. Recon had gathered that there were no less than three Vanu crystal artifacts in there, meaning there was now only three left. Gorilla would fail, and she was the 1 woman army to stop it. ============================================== The man cursed, another three down. He watched the global readout showing the furiously burning research base. He turned to a high-ranking soldier. "Make sure you stop her next time, we can't afford to lose any more crystals. We must be re-united with our teachers." "Yes sir." The soldier strode out, his teal uniform clanking with medals. ============================================== Shimmer approached the base carefully, by now they would have grown more cautious. Spotlights blanketed the ground, guards were everywhere. Only the main door wasn't unlocked, and to go in there would be madness. But Shimmer had a plan... Spider was bored, this guard duty sucked. He wanted to go attack, go kill. He glanced at his watch, another hour of this. A teal and purple ANT was approaching the base. Idlely, he waved it by, without checking for ID. Who cared? Shimmer kept going, speeding by the guards, and parking the ANT in the shadows. She slowly got out, and cat-like, crept to the door. It opened automatically, and she stepped inside. Shimmer had not gone more than five steps down the hallway, when she felt a Force-Blade to her throat. "Going somewhere?" She tensed, drawing her Cutter. "Drop the knife, or I'll cut you a second mouth." It clanged to the floor. She heard the other infiltrator's Darklight vision whirring, and then it stopped. He pulled out a commlink, "Security, we have an NC spy in Sector 2, can I have some guards over here to escort her?" "Roger that, they'll be there in 15 seconds." Shimmer went for her Scatter, the knife dug deeper. "Try it." She tried to laugh, the knife jabbing at her windpipe, "You won't...kill me. I'm too valuable." He kicked her Scatter out of the holster, and chuckled, "Maybe you're right, but I can make life for you an endless hell." Shimmer knew he wasn't lying. The Guards clanked into view. "Good work Dharkbayne, we'll take 'er from here." The infiltrator saluted, smiling, and stepped away. He faded into the shadows, and Shimmer heard the whirrr of Darklight going again. The guard disabled her suit, and handcuffed her. "Search her." The other guard began searching the suit for lockpicks and suicide pills, he found around 20 of the former, and 5 of the latter. "Holy, look at this." The other guard peered at it, a tiny nuclear bomb, powerful enough to kill everything within 30 feet. They took the suit off, and searched the civilian dress underneath as well. "OK, I think we got everything." They roughly threw her into the cell, and flipped a switch. Lasers formed a grid-work of impenetrable bars. They closed the steel door, laughing. Shimmer slumped over, spitting out the lockpick she kept in a false tooth. It wouldn't help her here. Her jammers had been taken, suicide pills, explosives, everything. She was trapped. |
