[ZA]Tri Udent...personal logs

[Zoner-Trader]

Udent leaned on the empty cargo container, he watched as the docking bay crew prepared for the arrival of another shipment of supplies. He fiddled with his leather catch on his side arm holster, thoughts of the of the last meeting running through his head.

He heard the bases docking clamps lock onto the incomming transport, the machinery banged and whined down as the bases docking arm extended out and sealed onto the ships cargo hatch.

He raised his eye's as the bay doors opened, the docking arm corridor revealed at its far end the sealed doors of the transport.

The docking bay crew rushed with their anti-grav units through the corridor, to the still sealed transport doors to unload the cargo. As they did so the transport doors opened, then the chaos began.

From the darkness beyond the opened transport ships cargo doors came flurry of laser and plasma fire. The docking bay crew were cut down in a instance, their anti-grav units were hit aswell causing them to explode.

Udent pulled out his laz pistol and fired at the darkness fifty meters away. As he ran, he dived for cover; rolling forward till he smashed into several containers. He let loose another volley of fire, then he heard the roar. Looking over the container that protected him, he watched a wave of un-uniformed but armed men rush from the transport ships hold.

There was only afew armed Alliance gaurds in the bay and as they fired to hold back the charge, they were themselves cut down by the intense return fire of the invaders.

Udent knew if they wernt stopped here, then the station would fall and all his peoples hard work would be in vain.

He saw the only solution, but knew it might cost him his life and that of the remaining gaurds. But it would save the station from a hostile invasion and many of the crews lives. He ran from container to container eventually reaching the docking bay control station. He looked once more at the hundreds that poured into the cargo bay, regret for an instance showing on his face.

Then he smashed the emergency glass and pressed the red button within.

There was a wail and then the docking bay clamps and also the docking arm, released the docked ship into space. The vacuum of space then took hold of the sealed cargo bay and the rush of escaping oxygen, sent everything not sealed to the floor out into space.

Udent held onto the console for his life, his grip was slowly being torn by the pull of the escaping oxygen. He looked back and saw that the bay had been cleared, but there was no way he could reach the control switch to seal the bases cargo bay doors.

He lost his grip, watching in wonder at the control station. Udent knew it was over, he was a dead man and so like all men he thought of his loved one's.

As these thoughts took mere seconds the bases cargo bay doors shut instantly and Udent fell to the ground with a start. The wind was knocked out of him, he looked up through bleary eye's as figures entered the bay from within the station and he fell unconscious.
