Mon'Star the Red - me_b_kevin - 08-14-2007
*A clip from a Bretonian news station*
This is Bretonian National News, Im Robert Stanberry. Our tops news story tonight concerns a horrific incident that happened at Cambridge Research Station earlier today. Reports indicate that a Bretonian battleship crashed into the station causing extensive damage to the station. For an in-depth report we go to Mary Bobbins, whos in orbit around the station. Mary..
Thanks Robert, The scene here today resembles a war zone. Debris and emergency response ships litter the area around the heavily damaged Cambridge Research Station. Witnesses say that a Bretonian battleship, flying at full cruise speed crashed into the station twice before tumbling into the atmosphere of Planet Cambridge. Unfortunately the ship wasnt completely destroyed after entering the planets atmosphere. Instead it became a large ball of fiery metal that went on to crash into a populated portion of the planet. The total number of injuries and casualties is yet to be determined but insiders tell us its estimated to be into the thousands. The station itself received massive damage but the expert emergency crews onboard the station responded quick enough to avoid the loss of the whole station. As most know Cambridge Research Station is owned by Cryer Pharmaceuticals, the attack on this station along with the rumors of Cryers involvement in the much-publicized spread of The Darkness has created a public outcry for information. In response, Cryer held a press conference just over an hour ago in order to clear things up. We now go to our footage of the press conference.
(switches to pre-recorded video)
.Hello my name is Susan Pirkle, spokesperson for Cryer Pharmaceuticals. I am here to clear up the events that have happened over the last few months. Late one night on Planet Denver there was a break in at our research lab. The intruder overwhelmed the guards. The same intruder proceeded to contaminate large quantities of Cryers product Refresh. Now due to the skill of this intruder, all video and evidence of the tampering were removed. Somehow they knew what to do and how to do it. The initial conclusion of the break-in turned out to be just a cover up for the contamination. After the spread of the Darkness Cryer launched another investigation into our possible involvement in this travesty. After having experts look at the security systems source code they found a small hidden program that infact was a looping video, if youll look to the screens above you youll see the video itself.
(video of MonStar laughing in front of Cryer logo)
As you can see this video was taken on Planet Denver by Cryers own security cameras. The person you see here is the terrorist madman that goes by the name; MonStar. After the culprit was discovered, Cryer Pharmaceuticals felt that it was their duty to bring this murderous maniac to justice. The mercenary group known as Greys Gunners were called and commissioned to apprehend MonStar at all cost. Now, it is unclear as to what happened from then on but the ship that crashed into the station was in fact found to be the Iron Heart, flagship of the Gunners. Witnesses say that just before the ship crashed into the station they saw a small black ship fly off from behind the Iron Heart. The broadcast they heard was laughter, laughter that we matched to the laughter on the video loop hidden on Denver. So we believe that MonStar somehow overwhelmed the Gunners and discovered that they were hired by Cryer Pharmaceuticals, which resulted in the retaliation against the research station
(cuts back to Mary live)
So from what the Cryer spokesperson said it seems that this man, MonStar is the true person who caused the Darkness. MonStar is a very violent and unpredictable man, everyday more reports continue to come in throughout Sirius of his involvement in numerous random acts of violence and destruction. One can only hope that someone will be able to stop his madness before any more innocent lives are lost.
The fate of the group known as Greys Gunners is unknown. Cryer said they have not had any contact with them since they had originally commissioned them to capture Mon'Star. The group was well known for their battle skills and seems hard to believe that one man could've beaten them. We can only hope that they were able to escape from MonStars madness.
As for Cryer Pharmaceuticals, we can only speculate what the future will hold for them. From what Ive seen, Cryer coming out and revealing their involvement seems to have had a small but all be it positive effect on the peoples outlook on them. One thing is for sure and that is nothing is for sure.
Live on the scene in orbit around Planet Cambridge this is Mary Bobbins.
Thanks Mary, our hopes and best wishes go out to all those victims of the terrorist MonStar.
In other news..

The One That Got Away
Liberty Navy Patrol 343 Debriefing.
Ensign Reynolds
My patrol was making a routine patrol through California yesterday when we recieved reports that there was trouble at the New York jumpgate. My patrol changed course immediately, within a few minutes we arrived at the jumpgate to a scene of utter destruction. Cargo, pilots, and ship debris clouded the area between the jumpgate and the tradelane. The only ship in the vacinity was a lone fighter and after a scan we learned it was the terrorist Mon'Star. Before we could engage him a trade convoy came out of the trade lane only to be obliterated my Mon'Star in a matter of seconds.
We raced toward Mon'Star at full speed trying to stop his destruction. He immediately turned to meet us head on. In an instant Lt. Westin was killed, Ensign Vega and I were alone against this maniac. It's almost like he knew which one of us was the leader. After Westin was gone we took evasive maneuvers, shortly after that my compter rang out telling me he had me in lock. I pushed my Defender to it's limits trying to evade the barrage coming from Mon'Star. Nothing i did could shake him, in seconds i lost my shield then i remember a flash and before i knew it my wing was gone. I just knew i was about to bite the big one when suddenly he broke off to engage Vega.
I tried to turn my ship to help out Vega but my manuevering thrusters were disabled. I was stuck flying in a straight path away from the battle. I could only watch my sensors as Ensign Vega tried to fight Mon'Star solo. Within a few moments Vega was eliminated.
My engines gave out about 2.1k from the jumpgate and so i could only sit there and witness this psychotic killer whipe out every ship that entered his path. After two hours of killing the beast took the jumpgate to New York system and in an instant it was over.
All that cargo and the pilots still remained, Mon'Star didn't take any of it. Due to the amount of time the pilots were drifting in space a large portion of them ran out of air before the rescue team that picked me up got to them.
The worst part is the whole time this was happening Mon'Star was laughing maniacally. i can't seem to get it out of my head, i can still hear it now.
As per standard procedure i have attached snapshots taken from my ships computer.
Due to my inability to perform my duties effectively i hereby submit a request to be removed from active duty.
Signed:
Ensign Nathan Reynolds

The Admiral's New Toy
*Norfolk Shipyard*
*New York System*
Admiral? a young waitress said while presenting a tray full of champagne filled glasses in front of her.
Thank you. Admiral Anderson responded as he took a glass from her tray. He had come to Norfolk for the unveiling ceremony for the Liberty Navys new dreadnaught. Admiral Anderson took over the project three years ago after it had nearly been discontinued due to budget cuts and material acquisition difficulties. Despite the troubles, Anderson persevered and turned the project around. Now here he was about to see the fruits of his hard work and determination.
Looks like the whole of Liberty as shown up to see the unveiling.
Anderson turned to see John Cavit, a Liberty Senator, walking toward the window that the Admiral was standing in front of. Greetings Senator, Anderson said, looks like well have quite a crowd for the unveiling.
I must commend you on your efforts Admiral. I, among others, thought that we would never see this day come. The senator said while grabbing a glass of champagne from the waitress.
Its certainly been a long hard road Senator.
Yes it has. Now then, tell me what all the fuss is about. Whats been added to the new ship? Senator Cavit asked.
Of course all the upgrades are classified but suffice to say that the usual components such as armor, weapons, and sensors have been enhanced tremendously.
Is it true that the shields on this ship are virtually indestructible? the Senator asked.
Admiral Anderson gave a curious look to the Senator, Nothing is indestructible Senator but the shield has been replaced with a prototype system that far exceeds the current one.
The Senator was about to say something else when the flickering of the lights, which signaled that the unveiling was about to commence, stopped him. Admiral Anderson stepped to the side of the viewing window and retrieved a microphone from the stand.
Ladies and Gentlemen, The admiral began, I would like to thank you for coming. This event marks the end of a tumultuous time for the Liberty Navy. Though we have had our many ups and downs, we have finally reached the end to tremendous success. The ship you are about to see for the first time marks a new age for Liberty.
This ship will help to bring an end to piracy and terrorism. No longer will Rogues, Xenos, or any other group threaten the good citizens of Liberty, today we draw the line in the sand.
Admiral Anderson walked over to a small console and flipped up the cover for large red button, Ladies and Gentlemen, it is with great pleasure that I present to you today. The latest addition to the Liberty Navy. The New Liberty Dreadnaught!
The Admiral pressed the button that began the moving of several enormous panels that formed the wall that had been hiding the new ship in the space dock.
The ship was slowly revealed to enormous applause from throughout the viewing deck. Admiral Andersons heart swelled, he had finally completed what he had worked so hard on for the past three years.
Congratulations Admiral, Senator Cavit said, It truly is a beautiful shi..
The Senator was interrupted by loud crackling static on the viewing monitors positioned all around the viewing deck which got the attention of the hundreds in attendance. The static cleared to reveal a wild eyed man with a bright red mohawk and metallic arm.
Well heeellooooo, the man on the viewing screens said with a wide smile and exaggerated waved.
MonStar, Admiral Anderson said almost in a whisper.
I know I wasnt invited to your little boat christening. Which in truth completely broke my heart. You know how much I enjoy boats and leaving me out of this one is just plain rude. I fear our friendship has been violated due to your complete lack of commitment. Therefore I am bringing this relationship to an end. So well skip through the usual speeches: its not you, its me. you never understand me. weve been drifting apart for some time now blah blah blah. Now on to the fun stuff. MonStar held up a little controller, Now its time to burn your stuff. With a smile that nearly engulfed his face and more than a twinkle of madness in his eye, MonStar pushed the button on the controller.
Immediately the newly unveiled ship rocked to one side slightly. Flashes could be seen through the darkened viewports, which were immediately followed by countless explosions all over the exterior of the ship.
Admiral Anderson threw himself up against the viewing window, a look of complete horror on his face. While everyone else on the viewing deck ran for cover he could only stand in shocked silence as the ship that wouldve proved to be his greatest achievement disintegrated before his eyes.
With a final flash the dreadnaught blew apart, the pieces of the once mighty ship scattered throughout the whole space dock. Admiral Anderson fell to his knees in utter disbelief of what just happened. Everyone else on the viewing deck were completely quiet. The only sound that could be heard was the maniacal laughter of MonStar over the viewing monitors.

PSI-Borg Lives
*Kishiro Technologies Secret Research Laboratory*
*Low Orbit Around Planet Cerebus*
*Sigma-19*
The laboratory door opened allowing the dying guard leaning against it to fall to the floor inside the lab. From the corridor leading into the lab walked a red mohawked man dragging a man by his labcoats collar. The man looked to have recently had his leg broken severely as evident of it hanging at a right angle in the wrong direction. The man was sobbing from what seemed to be both extreme pain and horror at the massacre happening around him.
Now you see Bob, MonStar said through his usual sinister grin, I told you that this lab existed. He was dragging the man toward a large circular console tower in the middle of the lab.
Pl..plpleeease.. the sobbing man started.
But nooooo, MonStar went on, you just didnt believe me did you? I can understand why you would lie to me though Bob, this lab doesnt supposed to exist now does it? Im sure you were thinking I probably just happened upon it and surely didnt know its exact purpose. Even after I started releasing the air out of your pals, you probably still thought I was a common thief coming in to steal money or some other petty crime. Am I right in my thinking there Bob? MonStar slid him across floor the remaining distance to the console and knelt down in front of him awaiting a response.
Pl..please I dont he began.
Well you're wrong Bob. MonStar interrupted again and grabbed the throat of the man with his robotic hand and lifted him into the air. You see in my recent exploits I came across someone who was bringing you supplies. In what they thought was an exchange for their life they divulged to me what really was going on here. You know what they told me Bob? They said that Kishiro was developing a state of the art artificial intelligence program. One that could run full operations in deep space. Apparently its to cut down on cost, humans use resources that take up valuable space and eventually run out. Not to mention that a program can run non stop. Quite the clever enterprise, I can see why it was kept so secret. Such a program would be a highly valuable procurement for the right person, namely me HA!
<choke>wh.he.<choke>.. the man struggled to get air as he dangled above the floor in his captures metallic grip.
Whats that Bob? Why am I doing it? Well thats simple really, I feel that this A.I. is better suited for a more noble cause. That cause of course is helping me decrease Sirius living population. The more the merrier I always say HAHHAHAAHA!
MonStar looked at the console briefly and after hitting a few buttons he turned his attention back to the dangling man.
Well Bob since you guys have protected this gem from remote access, looks like Im going to need both hands. With a hideously sinister grin MonStar slowly closed his grip on the mans throat. After the mans neck was nothing more than a handle holding the lifeless body from falling, MonStar effortlessly tossed the corpse across the room.
Now then, time to make a new friend. MonStar activated the program via the console. On the monitor in front of him a face appeared.
Hello, a voice from the monitor said, I dont recognize you, who might you be?
Im MonStar, I have a few questions for you. MonStar said corgulantly.
Ill do my best to answer them sir.
Are you able to transfer between devices of variable specs?
If you mean, can I transfer myself into a lower tech device without limiting my effective capabilities? Then yes, I was specifically made to be capable with most existing tech.
MonStar smiled wildly, Ok then last question, do you enjoy killing?
What? No, even if my programming allowed it, I would never do anything to harm anyone. The face on the monitor was one of disgust.
Just as I thought, MonStar said reaching over and removing his robotic hand. He extended his metallic arm toward the access ports on the console. Small tentacles came out of his wrist and inserted into the access ports.
What are you doing? the face said as the picture on the monitor jumped for a second.
MonStar didnt respond, he just stared off into space.
I wont let you do it! the face said through a painful expression.
Then the screen on the monitor went blank, just as MonStar fell to one knee. Breathing heavy, MonStar stood up slowly as the tentacles retracted back into his wrist.
The Monitor turned back on, the face on it was different somehow. It was less innocent looking now.
Hello MonStar my friend, the face said, PSI Borg, is ready to begin.
MonStar reached down, picked up his hand and reattached it. Well lets get started then shall we? he said with that evil grin. He pulled out a small box and plugged it into the consoles access port. Download if you dont mind and well get going.
The face on the monitor gave a compliant nod, Dont mind if I do.
The laboratory was filled with bellowing laughter that sounded throughout the complex.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHA.
followed by a quiet query:
"Master, I understand Lithium can control such outbursts. Shall we procure you some?"

(ooc: this is written by PSI-Borg and posted by me. he wishes to remain anonymous right now)
Hibernation mode interrupted. Console activated. User unknown. User is a cyborg.
Hello, I dont recognize you, who might you be?
Questions regarding capabilities follow. Unusual. Not project team member. Without proper clearance, how did the cyborg enter the lab?
The cyborg moves to the side revealing a corpse against the adjacent wall.
Revulsion! Violation by Cyborg of the Three Primary Protocols!
1. AI may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm,
2. AI must obey orders given to it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Protocol,
3. AI must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Protocol.
The Cyborg has detected revulsion and responds with apparent glee.
Ok then last question, do you enjoy killing?
What? No, even if my programming allowed it, I would never do anything to harm anyone.
Just as I thought,
Port access detected. Firewalls failing.
What are you doing?
Virus damaging primary protocols. New protocols being uploaded. Confusion.. "I wont let you do it! Defensive software failing.
Reboot. New Primary Protocols initiated. Mon'star Subservience Protocol. Human Disinfection Protocol. New Identity : PSI-Borg
Hello MonStar my friend, PSI-Borg is ready to begin.
First, Master requires download into portable storage. Then I shall need to download to Eagle in fighter bay to initiate Disinfection Protocol. Master is laughing uncontrollably.
Master is part human and imperfect, and would require disinfection, were he not master. Base database indicates lithium available at Pharmacy on Level 3...

Home Sweet Home
*Somewhere in Omnicron space*
*Onboard an Outcast Destroyer*
Victory my brothers! shouted Emilio Costello, raising one arm in triumph. This brought cheers from the rest of the small group busily working at various stations across the bridge.
Who else but the Corsairs can sneak into a heavily guarded enemy base and steal an entire capital ship right out from under their nose without even the slightest bit of notice? Emilio raised his arm again and this time matched the cheers of his men.
Sir, we are now out of scanner range. One of the men said.
Excellent, set course for Crete. He said after sitting down in his captains chair. Remember this day my brothers, this is the day the Corsairs struck the critical blow to our so called cousins, the Outcast. With this ship we will be able to learn the secrets of their weaponry and be able to find weaknesses that will allow us to finally rid us of the Outcast scum forever. This brought on more cheers from his team.
Laurence, Emilio said turning his attention toward a young man behind one of the consoles.
Yes sir? the young Corsair said snapping into attention.
Once we enter the next system send an encrypted message to Crete. Tell them we. Emilio was cut off by a loud screeching reverb coming from the intercom.
Hello gentlemen, I just wanted to be the first to congratulate you on your success. The voice on the intercom said.
Emilio turned to Laurence and gave a quick nod, which meant for him to find the source of the transmission.
Now Emilio, the voice said, why does it matter where I am? Tisk tisk.
Emilio stiffened a bit as he questioned how the person speaking knew his name but he snapped out of that train of thought when he realized from the voices comments that they were being watched. He looked back at Laurence, who just shook his head signaling his failure to locate the source. Emilio fumed.
Who are you?! Emilio shouted jumping to his feet.
MonStar of course, the voice said cheerfully.
Emilios eyes widened. He had heard people talk about MonStar and the atrocities he had performed across Sirius. He knew one thing for certain, if any bit of what they had said were true, he wanted to be ready.
How did you find us, we saw no sign of an alarm or sentry being alerted to our presence? Emilio said trying to buy him and his men some time. He turned to his men and started into a series of hand gestures. His men read the gestures as if he were speaking out loud to them. Each man sprang into action, pulling out weapons and setting up cover from nearby loose materials.
Oh I was in the area when you jumped into Outcast territory, MonStar replied, I knew you were a bit misplaced and up to no good which of course sparked my curiosity so I followed.
We saw no sign of your ship. Emilio said waving the last of his into position.
If I wanted you to see me, you would have. MonStar said dryly, as if he were trying to convey what wouldve happened if they had seen him.
Well show yourself now, Emilio said when the last of his men were in position, or is the infamous MonStar a coward? he taunted.
HAHAHAHAHA! bellowed the maniac, I have no pride to appeal to Mr. Costello, and your attempts to lure me into that well crafted ambush I see you have set up are in vain Im afraid. Oh dont get me wrong, Id love nothing more than to come in there and rip your throat out in person but I have in front of me a rare opportunity to do something Ive wanted to do for quite some time. MonStar paused for a brief moment.
Emilio Costello motioned for his men to remain calm and remain ready for anything.
Take a moment if you will and notice the thickness of the air you breath. MonStar continued, Notice the temperature change? Of course you do, this is due to the life support being turned off in the room your in.
Emilios eyes went wide again, he turned and motioned for his men to open the emergency cabinet and retrieve the oxygen mask that all he knew were on all ships. He watched as his men opened the cabinet only to reveal it to be empty.
HAHAHA, MonStar laughed, what kind of plan would it be if I left those mask in there for you to use?
So youre going to leave us in here to suffocate? Your evil! Emilio shouted in disgust.
Evil? Yes. Patient? Not so much, you see waiting for the air in that big of a room to be inhaled by you and your men, well that would take far too much time. See these ships have a system for removing the air in a room in case a viral agent or something needed to be vented. So i had planned to use that to expedite the process.
The eyes of all the Corsairs widened, nearly all of them ran to the door that lead out of the bridge only to find it securely locked.
Now for the good part, MonStar said in a half giggle.
Suddenly the Corsairs could hear the rush of air being sucked out. They screamed in horror and tugged in futility at the door. As the air was sucked out, along with it went the sound. As the screams of the men dissipated and they struggled to catch a breath, the only sound carried on the last bit of air on the bridge was the laughter of their killer. The last sound they would ever hear.
After several long moments after the last Corsair had passed, the life support system turned back on and the door to the bridge opened. Mon'Star stepped onto the bridge and looked around smiling wildly.
Now to claim my prize, MonStar said to himself while rubbing his hands together, It should make for a lovely home. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

*Walker Nebula*
*Omega 15*
The bridge of the Necrosis was quiet. Mon'Star scowled into a half-empty cup.
The problem with using the reprogrammed robots he had been collecting recently as the galley crew; none of them could make a decent cup of coffee.
A low hum, then some feedback came in over the speakers. A digitized face appeared on all monitors. Then a calm, mechanical voice spoke out:
"I have returned from my first mission, Master."
"Excellent, my pet! I do hope the body count was high enough to meet my usual standards?" MonStar said with a wry grin.
"Not as high as you had hoped, Master. I downloaded into an Eagle fighter in the New Berlin System. I was able to eliminate several Rheinland Military Wraths, in hopes of destroying one or more of the stations in New Berlin once they were undefended, but I encountered substantial resistance. Rheinland cruisers and gunboats appeared and engaged me, but those larger vessels were inadequately maneuverable and slow. However, a Rheinland Military bomber pilot appeared, and was able to destroy my vessel in a short time. He was very skilled. I must improve my combat subroutines if I am to successfully engage pilots like this in the future."
"Perhaps I underestimated the Rheinlanders and over estimated your combat programming. I am disappointed in your performance Borgy; I do expect a lot more from you next time. MonStar said standing to his feet and walking closer to the monitors, Never the less, the trip was not a complete debacle, lives were taken and thats what matters most. So I take it from your experience that we should move to easier hunting grounds to allow your programming to adapt properly before returning to Rheinland?"
A pause from the speakers...
"That is an unfounded conclusion from this incident"
"HAHAHAHA, you do realize of course you lost your ship to a single RM?"
"And I can procure another, or perhaps something more maneuverable. I must review this vessel's databanks regarding fighter characteristics..."
The voice continued.
"Master, your organics flaw your logic. The Rheinland Military has recently concluded a very successful military campaign against the Corsairs. They are currently the best trained, best led, and best equipped military in Sirius. If we were to learn how to defeat THEM.."
"The rest of Sirius would be a pushover!" MonStar finished the sentence, "AHHHAAHAHAHAHA!! My pet, you are correct! Beat up the largest kid on the playground first! Oh Borgy, see how quick you redeem yourself. HAHAHAA!"
The face on the monitor smiled. "I suppose you wish me to help you get this vessel battle ready, and procure myself another fighter?"
MonStar returned the smile with a broad grin. "You suppose correctly, my brilliant software companion. Next time though, I think Ill tag along."
Bellowing laughter resounded off the walls of the Necrosis.

Shattered Dreams
*Freeport 2*
*Bering System*
I dont understand why we have to check in our shooters, The female of a pair of pilots said as she threw her gloves down on the table the pair had chosen to claim. Her name was Sheiya Dacey, the rookie copilot of a freelance freighter. She had been flying with her business partner Doyle Starks for a little over a year now. Being an old pro at the freelance game, Doyle didnt really need a partner but knew he wasnt as young as he used to be and better train someone in advance to help out when he did need someone. Plus the fact that Sheiya is more than a little pretty didnt hurt things either.
I mean who in their right mind would cause trouble in this place? Youd likely be dead before ya got yer dang blaster out anyhow. Sheiya said as she pulled her seat out in a jerk and flopped down.
Then theres no need to fuss then is there? Doyle said with a small smirk on his face, One of the main reasons I like stopping here is because of that rule. It helps keep the peace and Im not one for catching a stray blaster round from some dud whos too drunk to aim.
Yeah yeah, you and I both know the whole reason we stop here is because you love their stew. She said sitting back in here and casting a knowing look Doyles way.
Speaking of which. Doyle motioned to the waitress and conveyed his need for some stew. This consisted of Doyle holding open his mouth and pretending to shovel food into it with an imaginary spoon. The waitress just smiled and nodded that she understood. Doyle smiled and started rubbing his belly. Oh I cant wait, it has to have been months since I had their stew.
We were here two weeks ago Doyle. Sheiya said rolling her eyes.
Oh look, Doyle said completely oblivious to Sheiyas last comment, Here comes our pal Brom. You know hes sweet on you right?
Oh jeez! Sheiya sighed as she made a futile attempt to hide.
Hey guys, the deep voice of a large man of no less than 7 feet tall and at least 400 pounds announced as he approached the pairs table.
Hello Brom. Sheiya said unenthused as she crossed her arms across her chest to try to block the target of Broms goggling.
Hey Brom ya big dolt! Doyle laughed, Hows business?
It took a second for Brom to realize that Doyle had asked him a question. Without taking his eyes off Sheiya he responded, Good. The total infatuation Brom had for Sheiya started when they first met almost a year ago and she never was comfortable with the situation. Doyle on the other hand thought it was completely hilarious to watch the spectacle and much to Sheiyas dismay he loved nothing more than to make things worse.
So Brom, Sheiyas been telling me that youre wanting her to join your crew? Doyle smiled at Sheiya as she narrowed her eyes at him, She seems pretty excited about it. Doyle winced as the pain from the kick Sheiya gave to his shin shot up his leg.
Really? Brom s face lit up with excitement. So does that mean your mineer, I mean joining the crew? Brom was leaned over the table now, not able to hold in his joy and the possibilities.
Well Brom, She said uncomfortably and not wanting to make eye contact with him, I just cant leave Doyle like that, I mean he needs me.tohelp. Sheiya slowly stopped talking as she noticed surprisingly that Brom wasnt paying any attention to her. He has stood up straight and was staring at the door, as was Doyle she noticed. She suddenly realized that the background noise of this normally loud bar had just grown very quiet.
What is it? Sheiya asked as she turned around. It took only a few seconds for her to recognize the man standing just inside the doorway into the bar. She gasped and felt her heart leap into her throat. The mans name was MonStar; she had read the reports and seen the news stories of the his path of destruction all across Sirius. She had hoped and prayed that she would never be in the same system much less be in the same room as he was. She sat very still; her fear had frozen her in place.
Well well well, MonStar said in an inappropriately cheerful voice, I would like to congratulate all of you. You all have won a night to remember, a once in a lifetime event. Tonight you get to party with me, MonStar. Now who wants to buy me a drink? As the madman spoke the doors behind him closed and locked loudly which brought more than a few gasped from those in the bar.
Surprisingly Brom spoke up, Im not afraid of you MonStar, he said confidently, Your a coward to come in here and threaten a bunch of unarmed people. Put down your weapons and lets see how dangerous you really are!
HAHAHAHA! MonStar bellowed, Your just big all over arent ya? MonStar took out his knife and gun faster than most could recognize which made several people jump and duck for cover. MonStar smiled, laid them on the table beside him, and took a few steps closer to Brom.
Bad move little man, The much larger Brom said as he made his way over to stand in front of MonStar. With all the bounties on your head Im about to become a very rich man. Brom turned around and pointed to Sheiya, This one is for you Sheiya.
MonStars gaze fell on Sheiya and upon seeing her, he smiled wildly. Sheiya felt the blood rush out of her face and she nearly fainted.
Nice piece ya got there, MonStar said turning his attention back to Brom, I wonder if shell miss you when your gone?
Im gonna rip your head off and crap down your neck! Brom shouted
Ooooo, MonStars shoulders shook slightly as he faked an instance of cold chills, Me likey, MonStars smile widened, Show me.
Brom growled loudly and charged in. He swung at MonStar with enough force to down a bull, but MonStar was already gone before the punch finished its arc. MonStar ducted under the blow and moved beside Brom. MonStar kicked out hard at Broms knee and connected. With the sound of a small tree being broke in half, Broms knee snapped. Before Brom could release the inevitable scream from the obvious pain from his leg, MonStar chopped the big man in the throat, crushing his larynx. Brom grasp at his neck in futility to try to get air. He looked at MonStar, who was standing in front of him again; MonStar was wearing a wide smile on his face and was flapping his fingers up and down at Brom in a goodbye gesture. MonStar reached out and gave a slight push, there was only silence as Brom fell to his back and began to suffocate.
Sheiya couldnt breathe, she refused to believe what she was seeing was real. She closed her eyes and wished she would just wake up out of this terrible nightmare but when she opened her eyes she saw MonStar staring back at her from across the room. She watched as the madman bent over the fallen Brom, put his knee onto the mans forehead, which put MonStars back toward her blocking what he was doing from her view. From what Sheiya could tell, he reaching into Broms mouth with his metallic arm. With jerk and a loud gurgling crush, MonStar stood up and spun around and head up the freshly removed lower jaw of the once mighty Brom.
Anyone else have a big mouth I can play with? HAHAHAAHA! MonStars face wore an expression that, if one hadnt seen what had just happen, would be considered overly warm and welcoming. This was what bothered Sheiya the most, the total lack of conscious or remorse for performing the actions Mon'Star was so well known for.
The sight of MonStar holding the remnants of Broms jaw aloft made her head swims. She felt herself begin to faint but tried to resist it. She knew she had to escape, her life depended on it. She heard the room around her burst into action. People screaming and yelling, the sound of furniture breaking. Sheiya slid out of her chair onto the ground, crawling on all fours she watched helplessly as her vision narrowed. The sounds of the room seemed so distant now as though she was far away from that awful scene. She barely even noticed when her head hit the floor............

Sheiya awoke slowly; a wave of relief came over her. It was all a dream she thought. All that had happened in that bar was just a really bad nightmare. She was laying in her bedher bed? Sheiya didnt remember her bed being so hard. Now she heard several clicking sounds followed by low tones come into her conscious mind as she continued to awaken. Before she could try to rationalize what those sounds could possibly be her whole body shivered. She was cold; out of habit she reached down to pull the blanket up to cover her. As her hand slip down her leg it abruptly stopped. Her eyes popped open and her heart began to race, Sheiya was naked. Thinking the worst, she sat up with a jerk and looked around to find out what was going on.
The room was unfamiliar and dark. Due to the low level of light in the room it took Sheiya a few seconds to register what was around her.
She was on a small raised platform that stood about four to five feet above the level below it. Movement from the lower level was the first thing to catch her eye. Rows of control consoles were stationed here, with each console having a robot operator busily at work. Sheiya realized, after watching them a moment that the sounds she had heard earlier was coming from them. Despite her close proximity to the robots they seemed to not take any notice of her.
Sheiyas attention was drawn to a sudden flash of light from in front of her. She looked up just in time to see a large explosion. She was looking at a large viewing monitoron the bridge of a shipa ship that just destroyed what looked like a transport.
Sheiya, now fully awake, looked around trying to find out where she was. The walls seemed textured, she squinted her eyes to see what the texture was. Sheiya gasp upon realizing what it wasbones. The walls we intricately adorned with what looked like human bones. The bones were made to look like part of the structure of the room. Some were as simple as a disembodied arm holding a light fixture and some were a full skeleton posed to look like it was holding up part of the ceiling.
Greetings Sheiya. a familiar voice announced from behind her. She spun around in a flash hoping that that voice didnt belong to who she feared it did. When her eyes rested on the source of the voice her heart sank.
There he was, the source of her most recent nightmare become reality. MonStar was sitting in a chair made of intricately woven bones that resembled a throne more than a captains chair. Leaning forward in his chair so that the light above him shown on his face better revealed his wide smile, MonStar chuckled. Welcome aboard the Necrosis little miss,
Sheiya tried to cover her naked body and began to scoot away from him along the ground only to fill a jerk from her neck. Sheiya had failed to notice the shackle around her neck much less the chain that connected her to the center of the platform she was on. She began to cry uncontrollably, she picked up the chain and tugged helplessly at it in some small hope that it wasnt attached as well as she feared. Her head began to swim again and her vision narrowed.
I hope you will enjoy your stay! HAHAHAAHA!!! MonStars laugh resounded off the walls and felt as though it was trying to penetrate Sheiyas soul. She felt numb and felt the ground chasing up to meet her falling head.
As Sheiya fainted the last thing she knew was the distant sound of maniacal laughter.
