Project: Starborn. Chapter 6

[Khaos King]

Later that night after both G.E.N.E. Grunts have been given their final physical exam, Lycan is standing in front of the tank watching the latest test subject floating inside the tank. The scientist have all headed back to their living quarters on the other side of the compound asleep in their beds. Lycan turns away from the tank as he heads out to the main area, on the right the unknown craft still covered by a large tarp as he walks passed it before stopping to scan the area with his enhanced sight. he zooms in on all the guards position across the hanger inside and outside. he focuses on the large steel tower designed by Nikola Tesla. Sgt Maj walks up behind him staring to see what it is he is looking at before asking Lycan a question.

Sgt Maj: problem?

Lycan: yes, new mission.

Sgt Maj: details.

Lycan: prevent future World War.

Sgt Maj: how?

Lycan: prevent production of new super soldier models.
prevent the rise of future army.

Sgt Maj: Why?

Lycan: no honor, no commitment, no Respect.
they must not be.

Sgt Maj: how?

Lycan: destroy unknown craft. activate Tesla's Tower, overload and destroy compound.

Sgt. Maj: ppl will die.

Lycan: minimal collateral damage, sufficient warning will be given.

Sgt Maj: we cannot.

Lycan: if we do not many noncombatants will die, women and children.

Sgt Maj: plan?

Lycan: stealth mission.
objective: reach craft. analyze, destroy technology.
remove ability to make more soldiers.
activate Tesla Tower allow to reach critical destructive output.
power interface will destroy stored data in lab cause explosions.

Sgt Maj: when?

Lycan: now.

Sgt Maj: if questioned?

Lycan: deny knowledge, lie.

Both men return to their section of the hanger and wait for the guards to change shifts before proceeding with the plan. Lycan stares at the test subject one last time as he mumbles to himself.

Lycan: no more......... no honor.
no commitment.
no respect..

Lycan and Sgt Maj wait to move as the guards change shifts rotating around the compound and make there way to the craft unnoticed as they reach underneath the tarp. They touch the hall as if a response their implants light up scanning analyzing the craft as if a connection having been made. the hieroglyphs glow as the hatch opens up allowing them access as they enter the ship and their alien nano control implant begin to interact. the hatch closes as the men look around the control area scanning the panels the hieroglyphs glowing as they are memorized and stored inside their mind.

Sgt Maj sees a panel placing his hand down on it, a light construct appears showing a rotating human and next to it various animals as they are super imposed among each other creating a new creatures. The Craft begins to interact with the implant placing key information of the craft into it, both men stop moving as it their implant and mind starts sifting through million terabytes of information. Their mind barely able to cope with a few images at a time as the rest are send to the implant as a safety buffer, finally the two are able to move once the ship stops downloading. Both looking at each other they begin to operate the controls turning on the crafts engines and begin the overload build up.

Finishing they both exit the vehicle unnoticed as they proceed to the next phase of the plan as they watch the soldier walk through the open area they realize they cannot get through without being seen. They instead return to their section, Lycan slicing the hanger wall pulling it open as they exit into the night sky. They begin to run to the Tesla Tower realizing they must hurry or be discovered they run past soldiers too dark to be seen as the soldiers light their cigarettes and talk among each other.

Reaching the Tower they enter the control booth beside it flipping switches activating the tower as it hums to life drawing power from the other and it's atmosphere. Once done Lycan breaks the controls with his superhuman grip. Sgt Maj removes the access cover and rips the remaining wire. The Tower starts to grow louder and louder, the two G.E.N.E. Grunts watching begin to run into the night to escape the coming explosion.

alarms begin to sound in response to the tower drawing electricity which is now visible providing light to the compound, massive amounts of electricity begins to travel through the ground and over head, cables leading to the various hangers, most importantly to the main experimental hanger. Guards begin to run blowing their whistle as they begin to evacuate, the few scientist awake run to the tower to shut it off to their horror realizing they cannot. The experimenting area begins to fire electricity from the rafters and wall striking the various experiments in their water tanks lined up against the wall as the water begins to boil. The Craft and the growing magnetic field begin to interact with one another it's engines becoming unstable systems frying as it begins to radiate unknown forms of radiation. the hall of the ship begins to glow as a result igniting the tarp. The latest experiments in their tank begins to seizure as it is struck by the radiation and electricity, nanites activating and multiplying at an incredible rate activating their neural pathways forcing them to finally awake and open their eyes. The water tank begins to heat up as the liquid begins to boil, test subject: King awakens and in pain stares out at the glass his eyes shifting from the human normal pupil to catlike slits, in pain it lashes out breaking the glass tank as the water pours out along with him. on his knees and in pain his skin begins to heal also fighting off the radiation from the ship, looking around he sees the slashed wall and the smell of open air, it raises itself as it roars in pain his senses struggling to cope with the new stimuli of the chaos around him. the animal fear and rage in full control made worse as errand sparks of electricity strike him.


finally the Tesla Tower reaching it's peak begins to whistle a high pitch sound of generators spinning out of control the craft and the electrical magnetic forces clashing have reached the height of it's tolerance as the craft begins to shake glowing brightly radiating dangerous levels of radiation and finally igniting destroying the majority of the base. The light stretches out like a small star on earth, it's incinerating everything in the immediate vicinity, the wind of the detonation blowing soldiers scientist and workers off their feet most dying immediately when struck. Lycan and Sgt Maj watching are struck by the force of the explosion as both G.E.N.E. Grunts are struck and send flying back their skin and muscle peeling back revealing their alien metal bonded bones as they are slammed into the ground. Both men unmoving not even breathing as they smolder and smoke rises from their body.
