Rex's became frozen in place once he heard a familiar word - intruder. The first thought was if there was a test, it would be this. Maybe there was no transport testing and the Outcasts were having some fun. The sounds of two bots locking and a buzzing charging matched the figures' stances, Rex started to panic. Why? He did nothing wrong. Maybe it was a mistake to ask the Outcasts for help. Should have gone back to Universal Shipping. Then his hope came back as the Starfleet member introduced himself over the PA system. During the verbal battle, Rex confirms that his exits were cut off and that he was stuck in this giant room. A Starflier up against two armed individuals. Rex shakily prepares his final words.
"I-I'm... not going t-to... die here today!"
The Starfliers' fight or flight response kicked in and his body chose to run and hide. For the next few minutes, a cat and mouse game had started. The two shadowy figures opened fire at Rex as he rushed to any safe position he could find. His mind racing, trying to piece together what he had just saw alongside analyzing what he should do next, Rex ripped off a panel from a server to use as a shield and ran behind one of the consoles to put distance between him and the figures. With no care for the equipment in the room, the figures continued to fire energy rounds at Rex. The server panel was made to contain hot air for proper exhaustion, not to shield oneself against energy weapons fire. One round impacted the shield and burned a giant hole when another round followed and hit Rex in the right forearm. Maniacal laughter is heard from the other side of the room as the figures slowly close in. Rex's panic sets in and frantically sees the area he is in become illuminated by the purple and blue glow. With no hope left, Rex closes his eyes and cowers wincing in pain from the burning hole in his arm.
