Who: Justin, John Bromin and Sgt B Trayal of the SpaceCorps
Where: Blue Dwarf
When: After Jay took the Phoenix
<snip>
Sgt Trayal came in, gave Justin a gun, and untied Bromin.
Justin immediately put the gun to his head "So John, which side are you on?" He
asked. "The SpaceCorps, or the rebel Jay Chrysler?"
<end snip>
"Hurry!" Ordered Sgt Trayal, who was getting eager.
"Time's up." Said Justin, raising his gun to John Bromin who still wasn't
decided. "If you're not with us... you're against us." He took a deep breath.
"Captain Chrysler has gone too far this time. Not only has he turned his back on
the SpaceCorps and the JMC, he's also turned his crew into rebels. Sorry about
this-" Justin fired at John's leg, causing him to scream in pain and fall to his
knees.
"Okay lets go." Said Justin, walking with Sgt Trayal and his men towards the
Drive Room.
"We've got to hurry." Said The Sergeant. "One of my men saw the Captain heading
towards the Flight Deck."
"Smeg." Said Justin, hurrying the pace. "If I don't stop this was... this is my
last chance!"
"For what?" Asked Sgt Trayal as they broke into a jog towards the xpresslift.
"My destiny." Said Justin. "This Time Traveller said I'll become a Captain of a
Hymenoptera ship... but it's looking less likely every day. We're going to go to
war and..." He stopped when he realised how ridiculous it sounded. "You probably
think I'm an idiot?"
Sgt Trayal raised an eyebrow. "Actually no." Then he pointed to the insignia on
his uniform shoulder. "Take a look at that."
Justin looked closely and saw a stitched Hymenoptera and Human Marine working
side by side.
"We're soldiers genetically enhanced by a company called TransMed..." said the
Sergant.
Justin recognised them as the medical company that accidentally turned Rosette
into a Hymenoptera, and he was incredibly jealous.
"...we're all genetically engineered using Hymenoptera DNA." He said. "We're
faster. We're stronger. And most importantly we-"
The soldier stopped talking when one of his subordinates came up to him with a
stern look on his face. "Sir, we've lost Chrysler. He's gone to the planet."
"DAMN!" Cried out Trayal, and punched the wall so hard that it dented the metal.
Justin's heart sank. "I've failed." He said. "I'll never be Captain now!"
"No, there's still a way to stop him." Said Sgt Trayal, wiping the blood from
his fist. "We can follow him in a ship."
"No way..." Said Justin. "He'll be in the Phoenix, it's the fastest Blue Midget
in the fleet! We'll never catch him now!" He threw his arms down to the side and
slumped to the floor, covering his head with his arms. "That's it. It's over.
I'll kill that stupid Smeghead Potential for getting my hopes up!"
Sgt Trayal pulled him up. "It's NOT over. We have a fast ship in the Flight
Deck. Trust me."
Justin stood up, and when he did he noticed the blood on Sgt Trayal's hand from
when he'd punched the wall earlier.
"Is that.... your blood...." Justin gawped. "Smeg me. You've got green blood.
GREEN blood!"
The Sergeant grinned. "Remember Eckerslike said future of Humanity involves the
Hymenoptera? TransMed made some modifications to us. We're the next step of
Human evolution."
It took a few moments for the words to sink into Justin's head. "Cool!" He
responded with.
"Sir!" Shouted one of Trayal's men. "The other SpaceCorps soldiers are standing
down. It looks like they're joining Chrysler!"
"Idiots!" Said Trayal. And then looked up. SpaceCorps soldiers started swinging
down from a platform above, and several marksmen trained their guns on them.
Justin noticed that they were working with Blue Dwarf security, he looked out
for Rosette.
"No. Stop! You don't know what you're doing!" Justin shouted. "Jay is a traitor
to the SpaceCorps!"
"Leave this to us lad." Said Trayal, pushing Justin back. "Just get to the
Flight Deck on Nivelo 388" there's a ship you can use.
"No, I'm not leaving... I'm staying and fighting with you!"
Trayal shook his head. "This is our fight. Yours is with Chrysler."
As he said it, Trayal started to change. His skin turned blotchy and green. He
grew taller, and his uniform started to bulge, and tear. Pointy legs broke free
from the clothing and Trayal's head expanded, several black eyes popping out of
his greenish skin. He was changing into a Hymenoptera.
"Cool!" Said Justin again.
Trayal and his men all changed into Hymenoptera and started attacking the other
soldiers and security department. Each of them took more bazukoid blasts than it
looked like they could handle. Justin wanted to wait and watch, but it didn't
look like Trayal would survive.
"Go to the flight decks!" Trayal screeched back at Justin, causing him to turn.
Justin ran, pushing his way through some double doors and running down the
corridor.
At the end of the corridor he saw some graffiti daubed on the door. It said
"Corridor of Infinite Perversions." Justin grinned, and burst through the doors.
It's back on.
<snip>
Davie took off on a quick jog down the corridor to find another elevator.
<end snip>
Justin barged into the Mercenary, sending them both tumbling to the ground.
Justin was the first back on his feet, and he stood over Davie with his gun
pointing at him.
"Drop the weapon punk. I'm in a hurry!"
<Tag Davie, do you want to try and stop Justin from getting to the flight deck?
Or perhaps you want to join him and stay on the side of the corrupt Hymie-loving
SpaceCorps? Don't post getting to the flight deck yet though, I've got a
surprise waiting there for us! Email me if you want more details>
