Commonwealth [Inactive]

"You're still worried even after what you've just seen? You know more than you're letting on, and I still don't know your last name."
 
"You leave me at a tough dilemma, but I want you to show me where this man is. I'm assuming he's the same as the man that hired those thugs because of how you referred to him. You really do need to be more careful about what you say."
 
"You go in first, missy. I'm not risking my neck if you intend to lead us into a trap." Thomas glared at her, this wasn't the first time she had behaved suspiciously.
 
Lilly didn't say anything, she just gave Fuller a nervous look. She had planted a movement activated force field trap just inside the door, if she went first her own trap would backfire.
 
Vex had been going through the ship, pausing occasionally to watch the self-repair mechanisms in action. He chuckled a bit to himself, wandering his way towards robotics. He had a little surprise for Alice, if he could commandeer the right equipment. "Having fun in there?" she would ask, a playful tone in her voice. "Yeah. It's interesting in here... Oh, I have a surprise for you, if I can find what I'm looking for." he said, finally finding the robotics area. "Really? That's awfully nice of-" she said, pausing. "Uh, Vex? I'm picking up something on the proximity sensors. I can't tell what it is, it's moving too fast." she said urgently. Vex stopped where he was, staring down the hallway he just came down.


"And... it's gone. That was weird... It was organic, that much was certain. My sensors aren't malfunctioning, it was there one second, and gone the next. whatever it was, it was heading straight for the ship. Be careful." she warned. Vex nodded and pulled one of the assault rifles from his bag, loading up a full magazine. Whatever it was, he wasn't going to get caught off guard.


----------------------------------


Nullisar was tearing towards the ship, bounding forward on all fours. The speed that he could move easily matched that of a hovercraft, so it didn't take him long to follow the Captain's scent right back to his downed ship. He came to a stop at the treeline, letting out a low growl as he watched the scene in front of him. The ship looked just like the ones that razed his homeworld, and it took a lot of willpower not to find enough explosives to just destroy the ship outright. No, he was given a perfect opportunity to take his revenge on the Commonwealth. He scanned the area, noticing that the Commonwealth ship wasn't the only one there. There was another, a bounty hunter's vessel by the looks of it. He began to move slowly through the treeline, circling the ships as he made a plan to get on board.
 
Captain Fuller thought for a moment, then said, "Thomas, why are you doubting? All the things she has done pretty clearly points toward a trap. So we're left with three options. Run like cowards, spring the trap, or Lilly isn't lying to us -- she's just doing a bad job of telling the truth then. Well I think it's time I sprung the trap before someone else does." Captain Fuller pressed a button on his belt buckle and there was an electrified 'whir'. Then Mark walked toward the opening. Suddenly there was a loud noise and the captain was launched backward, knocking Lilly to the ground as well.
 
Another plan had failed, Lilly had no backup plans after this, she only hoped the security in the house could deal with Fuller or her boss would likely kill her for her failure.
 
Thomas stepped back to avoid the two as they fell, "I told you it was likely a trap. Look, she's the perfect wolf in sheep's clothing, everywhere she's led you you've been ambushed."
 
"Oh would you stop trampling the low down deeper in the dirt Thomas?" replied Captain Fuller as he got up and brushed off his clothes. "I'm completely fine, I had turned on my reflector. It seems there is some sort of energy blocking the door. That's one of the oldest trick in the book Lilly. Can you deactivate it?" he asked, grabbing her by the arm again, this time with his assault-pike pointed at her.
 
Her eyes went wide at the sight of the assault pike pointed at her. She decided that her first priority would be making herself look innocent. "Wh . . . what are you doing?" she said as she looked at the weapon.
 
Nullisar stalked around the forest's edge, not seeing much of a threat anywhere. His skin seemed to take on a duller appearance, partially to allow him to blend in better with the surroundings, and partially to hide his biological signature from any scanners that may pick him up. This defense mechanism was exactly why his kind was so hard to kill; they would rarely show up on electronic scanners or motion detectors. He probably wasn't the only one who escaped the massacre, but if there were signs of others he couldn't find them. The creature would stifle an enraged roar, finally finding an opening.


The ship was obviously repairing itself, which meant the Captain would have to come back to it at some point, and these Commonwealth ships were a wealth of maintenance passageways and ventilation shafts. If he didn't want to be found, he wouldn't be once he was inside. He quickly closed the gap between the trees and the ship, climbing quickly up the side. He pulled himself through a quickly closing hole in the side, sliding into a ventilation shaft. The hole he just came through closed, locking him inside as he moved deeper into the ship. He would find a safe place to burrow into, and wait.
 
"Oh don't play innocent with me. I know an android when I see one. Just shut off the trap and I won't do anything to you, got it?"
 
Lilly tapped a button on a security panel to the side of the door "There, it's off. Now, if you could explain these accusations"
 
Mark pulled a scanner out of the tattered cloak he was disguised in and ran it over Lilly. "Just as I expected, you're an android. Very expertly crafted. In other words, you're and AI in a synthesized body. These scanners don't detect any anomalies, but your thought patterns are exactly the same as Rogue's."

Mark shook his head. "I've already explained it to you. If you want to know more about this, more about yourself. I can show you. That is if you help me survive this encounter with your master."
