Gameplay - Section 1

"ah, Mr Van Toren, welcome back. It is so nice to see you again."
Humperdink paused for a moment.
"Make him forget what comfort was. As for the other one, bring him to me."

"Great. This is just great." Tertius is pacing back and forth in his cell. "I have to get out of here. Time to test the cloaking belt." Tertius pushes the black button on his belt and cloaks. The he pulls out a little blue ball and throws it into the hallway in front of his cell. The ball explodes, disentegrating the bars in front of him. He then knocks out both guards in front of him, running towards the engine room.

the security gaurds rush down to the cell, only to see cindering remains of the bars. one of them tapped their comm "sir, looks like tertius has escaped, whereabouts are unknown!"

"All security to Helm or Engineering. Shoot to stun."

Tertius reaches the engine room. He places an emp charge on the engine to go off in 5 minutes. He then rushes out right before the guards got there, heading for the helm.

(Sorry. I don't think we'd have been as careless to not notice you had a mine)

While the crew was occupied, Van Toren sprung into action. He went to one of the lights, and pulled it apart, revealing the circutry. He yanked out some wires, and connected them with ones across the room. He puled them to one of the bars, and started saughtering at the meatl, eventually weakening it enough for him to break free. He snuck down the corridor, until he reached a weapons locker. He pulled on the handle, when a mechanised voice said "Security Clearence Only" He smashed his hand into the console, drawing a little blood around the knuckles. He then yanked open the door, and pulled out an assault rifle of sorts and a laser pistol. He shoved the pistol into his belt, and then headed for an escape pod. Two gaurds spotted him, yelling out. Van Toren swung around, loading the two guards with holes. They collapsed to the floor. In the command center, a weapons alarm activated, triggered by Van Toren's shooting. Van Toren climbed into an escape pod, just as Mike ran around the corner. The hatch was closing on the escape pod, when he pulled out his pistl, and shot Van Toren in the chest, just as the pod door closed. The escape pod jettisoned into space with a pre-determined course. Van Toren fell against the back of his seat, with blood pooling all around him. The escape pod increased speed and was gone.

Van Toren slowly opened his eyes. The room was so bright. He squinted, and blinked his eyes a couple of times. A voice yelled out: "He's awake!" A medic rushed over and took his pulse and temperature.

"What, where am I?"

Van Toren striggled to sit up, but the nurse pushed him back down. Suddenly, Van Toren had a flash. It took him by surprise. It was gone as quickly as it had come. He looked around, his #1 was standing there

"How long've I been out?"

#1: It's been three months. You've been in a deep coma"

"What?"

Suddenly, it came back to him, the gunshot, the escape pod

Back on board the Nightcrawler, Mike watched 2 of his men pull a resisting Tertius in front of him

"we caught him messiing with our engines sir.we managed to trap him by closing doors."

"good."!he punches tertius inthe face "Take him to his Cell, and give him civilian clothing.remove anything he has on him."

"Sir!we lost 2 men to Van Toren!"

"damn...pursue his ship when we are able.he may have a headstart, but we are faster.Now Tertus, you will go back to a Cell, and if you dont tell us anything usefull, i will have you shot."

(yeah, i know.im posting what happened after he escaped.)

Ok.

Tertius collapses before he reaches his cell, then all the lights go off.
