The Fall of Savior Station

[Blue Fox]

MELANTHIOS shrugs. "I've never seen this man before in my life..." His brow furrowed and clacking and ticking could be heard in the background, presumably a keyboard. "Hold on... this isn't a man. He's solid hardware, Ray. This is a droid. Watch yourself.... Hopefully he's just after the aliens."

Before he even executed his speaking patterns to explain the situation to Ray, MELANTHIOS began to hack through Cobalt's security, using an anonymous proxy. With a little effort, his proxy snuck through and hid in a secure corner of Cobalt's system files. It sat quietly, monitoring the droids processes for anything suspicious or dangerous.

[Lord Isscarus]

For some reason the droid seemed unharmed, the Android body he's made of is way too advanced to be hackable.


Cobalt grinned.
"I can hear you, I know your trying to hack me."


He took off his mask, revealing nothing but a face of metal plating with circuitry underneath.


"You know, I used to be human, until a man, I don't know his first name, but his last name was Blackburn, Blackburn did this to me, he burned me alive, charred me down to the bone, I had to be rebuilt, but not only do I have unlimited power, I'm also impossible to hack."


Cobalt scanned Ray.
"Ray, Ray Blackburn?" Cobalt was feeling enraged.
He quickly went for his throat, and lifted Ray in the air with one hand, nearly crushing his larynx.


"Do you have any idea what that man put me through? What that man did to me?!"
 Cobalt threw Ray across the room, knocking him into a metal door, denting it.


"I'll let you live for now, apparently you weren't on your father's side, your lucky."


"I come from Titan station, and essentially, I'm the most advanced piece of tech in this whole system."


Cobalt reached out his hand and was moving something without even touching it.


"Telekinesis, something mankind thought was impossible, not anymore!" Shouted Cobalt.


He walked over to Ray, still lying on the ground.
He bent over.
"Karlo hmm? Seen him? Really tall and buff, wears an exosuit about half as advanced as mine? Really strong? Where is he? I need to have a word with him."

[Blue Fox]

"Damn, what is it with these people??"

MELANTHIOS was perplexed. He was unable to hack into Cobalt, for some reason. Infiltrating was his primary purpose, and yet this android's virtual defenses were nearly unbreakable... BUT... he was able to take control of Cobalt's incoming communications systems.

"I am sick. And tired. Of interference. They need. To back. OFF!"

A piercing high-pitched sound blared from his receiver, overwhelming Cobalt's sensors momentarily.

"Ray, get down the hall, and take Ms. Scales with you! I'll cover you!"

MELANTHIOS put himself on standby, ready to act at a moment's notice.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray couldn't respond. Not due to the lack of things to say, but because of overwhelming pain. His broken scapula was completely shattered, his tibia cracked and three ribs broken. The raccoon's spine had suffered deep bruises, but remained in tact. Although trying to stand was out of the question, Ray could manage a pitiful crawl, but he chose not to. If he was to move, someone would have to drag him. Or local gravity would need to be disabled. Either way, Ray was in bad shape, and needed a medbay quickly.

[Lord Isscarus]

"From my vitals he's suffering a broken arm, elbow, multiple broken ribs, and a damaged larynx, he can't walk, oh and not only that, but he also got incapacitated from the throw, he can't walk at all." Said Cobalt.


"Besides I'm trying to help you, if you tell me where Karlo is, then I will help you fight this infestation." Said Cobalt in a smug voice.


"I know you need my help, Ray is injured, your trapped up there, and Karlo has seemingly abandoned the team, I know you need me, oh and I know who you are MELANTHIOS, and I know your secret." Cobalt was confident, he could get anything he wanted if he evened out the odds,and be did, they do need help, but Cobalt was certainly not an ally, they don't know what he is, they only know that he's an Android built from a corpse.

Post Merge: April 20, 2017, 04:56:47 AMCobalt walked over Ray and kneeled next to him.
"If you won't do what I tell you to then I will leave you here to corrupt and rot, understand me?"


Cobalt was perfectly calm, he knew he would get what he wanted, there was no reason to become aggressive anyway.

[Blue Fox]

MELANTHIOS was sweating on the inside. Speaking over the local PA system, he calmly replied, "I already said... I'm not an AI. But if you will help Ray...." one could clearly hear him talking through his teeth if they listened close enough. "His suit was spouting off something about Food Processing, and he took the elevator again. That's the last I saw of him. There. I helped you. I expect you'll keep your end of the deal and help him...?"

[Lord Isscarus]

"Thank you, if you excuse me I'll be back in a few minutes."


Cobalt walled down the hallway and followed his coordinates to Food Processing.


As he walked in he could see Karlo trying to break down a locked door.
"Are you Karlo?" Said Cobalt.


"I'm Karlo Mannaway, why?"


"Turn around."


Karlo turned around and Cobalt was operating on his back, his A.I. had a faulty problem, apparently Melanthios accidentally hacked his A.I.


"There, now it should be fine."
"What should be fine?"
"Your AI, Melanthios tried to hack me and the virus spread to Charles. He's fine now."


"Anyway." Said Cobalt. "I had to do that so you wouldn't go rogue, but anyway, what's going on this ship? What kind of aliens are we dealing with here?" Asked Cobalt


Karlo sent all his data about the creatures to Cobalts memory file.


"Ah, I see, organic virus that is constantly mutating and growing, interesting."


"Now lets go see if your friend Melanthios is an A.I."


Karlo spoke.


"Well I think he is."


"I did too, but I overheard your AI speak earlier, apparently I believe what it said, the trauma you endured earlier damaged his systems, but their okay now."


Cobalt spoke over the intercom.
"Melanthios, what is your current location? My radar is jammed since this whole station has lost signal, so I need to come to your location so me and Karlo may speak with you."


As they headed back Karlo picked up Ray carried him from that point.


"What happened?" Asked Karlo.
"I thought Ray was an enemy until I scanned him, it was an accident."


As Cobalt crossed his arms and Karlo put Ray on his shoulder, they waited for Melanthios to respond.

[Blue Fox]

The station that MELANTHIOS broadcasted from only sent out static and warbly word fragments. It might appear to them that he was unable to be reached at the current time, for unknown reasons. Perhaps the signal was jammed? Or maybe there was interference...?

[Rayleonarde]

Ray coughed awake, spittle and blood landing on Karlo's shoulder. He took a ragged, pained breath before speaking. "W-Why..," his voice barely rose above a hoarse whisper "I-I d-don't r-remember...any a-androids being on...on the s-ship." He then turned his attention to Karol. "H-He one of yours, a-army man?" His voice, though pained and quiet, dripped with venom and distrust.

[Lord Isscarus]

Karlo listened to Rays agonizing voice.


"No, I have no idea who he is I just hope he can be trusted." Said Karlo with a look of worry in his face.

He groaned as he tried to sit up. Then he panicked. He smelled things rotting, saw dead corpses and felt multiple injuries. He tried to stand but his legs were pinned by an alien corpse. His eyes viewed the carnage, he realized he was the only survivor. It looked like he had been out for at least four days. He was hungry too, his stomach already hurting. He was in a large glass room, there was a hole in the wall, all he could see in the hole was a dark interior. Must've been where the aliens came from... He winced, his head still hurt. He had had a concussion earlier, that's why he was out. They must have thought he was dead.. "Anybody?! Help!" a loud clack came from down a hall leading to the glass room and a large black figure appeared. He pawed at his belt on instinct, retrieving a large plasma grenade launcher. He aimed and pulled the trigger, the little blue ball ejecting and slamming into the alien's chest and exploding. He pulled out the clip, only three left. He would have to scavenge. And get the damn alien off of him.
