Fandom Project Freelancer: Through The Ranks

[Quillicious]

Colorado took off his helmet and ran a shaking hand through his hair. Pi's form started to grow to a lime green.


'Colorado...sir. I would personally request you to disregard all that you have seen at this moment. Are you not aware of the Director's specific orders to us?'


"Pi, everyone on here is special. We're not better or worse than any of them. Quill agrees with me."


Pi began to get more agitated. The spikes coming out of him grew larger.


'Agent Colorado! Quill is an unstable fragm-'


Pi stopped immediately and disappeared. Colorado tried to ignore what he said, but it still nagged at him in the back of his head.


"I'll risk it. Quill, just keep calm. The Director will never know."


In a few minutes, he had forged a mission statement by the Director and headed for the coordinates Alaska's AI was transmitting from.


"Shut up. This isn't a bad idea....I don't care if it's your turn, I'm doing something important...okay, after this."


After he got nearer, he activated the customized active camoflauge he had installed into the Pelican. They're prescence wasn't known. Yet. Colorado hopped out, using his magnetic boots to walk on the underside of the Pelican.


"It's just like a sim..."


He used a pulse to propel him downward, toward the exact position Alaska was in. He was wary that this wasn't because it looked abandoned, but that probably was the point. He made for a window in the side of it, and used another pulse to slow him down.


"Magnetic. Must be metal. I guess this is the place."


He quietly broke the window and dropped inside.

Wyoming-


Wyoming jumped out of the Pelican, as Theta said, "Strange... I'm picking up coords from another AI."


Wyoming acknowledged this and got back in the Pelican, hiding in the seating area.

 

[Quillicious]

((Crap, is Colorado busting Alaska or what? As in what is this in response to, or is it a new arc?))

 

[DarthCaesar]

(Dunno)


Wyoming piloted the Pelican to a quiet landing on the surface of the planet and crept silently up behind Colorafo.


"Why are you here?" He asked.

 

[Quillicious]

"Just checking this place out. I thought I found an AI, but I guess it was a bust."


He secretly activated a disruptor to block the signal of the AI.


"This place is completely abandoned."

In the base, Alaska cursed as he watched the feed from the exterior security grid. Standing next to him, the commander grunted, shaking his head. "Alaska, I need you top side, delay those two while we complete evacuation. Even if they aren't aware of us, the base has been found, we must pull out."


Nodding, Alaska reached over and grabbed his helmet, slipping it on before grabbing his battle rifle. Exiting the command room, he quickly set out down a hall filled with soldiers and technicians running back and forth, carrying supplies and equipment to the hangar.


Opening a hatch in the side of the hall, Alaska quickly ascends a stair case that lead to a large rock ceiling. Putting his hand against it, he gave it a strong push, quickly heading up.


Immediately coming to his feet once topside, he spun to face the other agents, his battle rifle held loosely at his side.


"Well, look who it is..."


@Quillicious @Dr Dovahkiin Church

 

[DarthCaesar]

Wyoming-


Wyoming pulled out his sword and charged it up, drawing an SMG also.

 

[Quillicious]

Colorado turned to Alaska. With a sidelong glance at Wyoming, he kicked him into the canyon, with a magnetic pulse for good measure. He went flying.


"Look, I don't have much time. I'm here to help."


@ArisenMoon @Dr Dovahkiin Church

 

[DarthCaesar]

Wyoming-


Wyoming activated his comm after he dusted himself off. "I need back-up. Here are my coords. Agent Alaska- and possibly Colorado also- has gone rogue." He heard the affirmative response. Backup would be here in a few moments.


Wyoming activated his grab boots and jumped onto the canyon wall, running up it.

 

[Grammatic]

"Well isn't this great..." Opening his comm, he quickly sent word to the commander.


"Commander, begin immediate evac, if it isn't in the ship's now, destroy it and get moving."


Turning to look at Colorado, Alaska looked him up and down, before nodding slightly, before running towards the edge of the canyon.


A loud roaring sound is heard, and pelicans begin to fly up from the canyon, peeling off in multiple directions. Jumping, Alaska activates his mag boots and lands onto one of the pelicans, turning and gesturing for Colorado to follow.

[DarthCaesar]

Wyoming-


Snarling, Eyominng jumped onto a Pelican. He quickly jumped to the next and then the next until he was standing a few feet from Alaska. He drew his sword and SMG, electricity cracking on the swords surface.


Above, he saw the Mother Of Invention begin to emerge from slipspace. It wouldn't be long now.

 

[Quillicious]

Colorado tossed him something instead. It was a drive of some sort. He shook his head, signaling that he wouldn't blatantly support him. He instead twitched slightly and jumped toward the Pelican with Wyoming, using his mag pulse to run on the underside of the Pelican, and was at Wyoming's side.


"Sorry 'bout earlier. I just wanted this traitor to myself."

 

[Grammatic]

Grunting, Alaska raised his battle rifle and began firing at Wyoming while the pelicans began to spread out. Emptying his clip, he quickly turned and jumped onto another pelican, reloading in the air, and turning, firing again while the two pelicans began to bank away from each other.


While he continues firing with his right hand, he turned and slipped the drive into his armor with his left, before quickly sending word for the pelican to accelerate. Igniting it's burners, the pelican shot away from the other one, before pulling off and heading for orbit with the others.

 

[DarthCaesar]

Wyoming raised his sword and deflected the bullets.


"Oh… and I don't think so. I'm no Einstein, but I'm not that dumb." He said, locking up Colorado's armor with an electric pulse and throwing him onto a nearby Pelican.


He then started advancing towards Alaska, shooting non-stop and slowly walking forwards, preparing his sword.

 

[Quillicious]

"Damn..."


Quill was in control now. He shoved his hand into the cockpit of the Pelican he and Wyoming were standing on. He ripped out the pilot, raised him into the air, and calmly asked a question.


"Where're they goin', buddy? You really don't wanna lie to me, or else this won't be fun for you, but it'll be great for me."


@ArisenMoon @Dr Dovahkiin Church

 

[Quillicious]

"Dammit, Colorado!"


Pi had his armor back up after a while.

 

[DarthCaesar]

As the Mother Lf Invention fully exited Slipspace, Wyoming sent for whatever backup he could get.


A moment later, a pod crashed into the Pelican. Yorky stepped out. He immediately opened fire on Alaska, then leaving Alaska to Wyoming, jumped toward Colorado and started unloading stun rounds.


Meanwhile, Wyoming jumped into the air and started bringing his sword down towards Alaska.

 

[Grammatic]

Climbing into the open bay of the pelican before it closed, Alaska nodded to the soldiers inside. No matter how this played, not everyone would be making it to the drop point.


Feeling the shudders associated with exiting the atmosphere around him, Alaska closed his eyes as the pelican banked suddenly. They were probably under fire. Leaning against the wall for support, Alaska let out a brief sigh of relief when he felt the pelican move into slip space.


Closing his eyes, Alaska sat down against the wall, and rested his head against it. It was turning out to be a bad day.

 

[Grammatic]

(Alaska has already bugged out. He jumped to another pelican and is out.)


@Dr Dovahkiin Church

 

[Quillicious]

"Come on, Yorky! I don't wanna hurt you!"


Quill jumped off the Pelican and onto the bottom of it.

 

[DarthCaesar]

Yorky teleported behind Quill and shot a stun round into his neck, knocking him out. "Neither do I. But I have to." Yorky said as Quill faded into unconsciousness.


He jumped onto the Freelancer Pelican, followed by Wyoming, and jumped in, dragging Quill with him as they took off for the MOI.

 

[Quillicious]

Pi activated a small mag pulse, ejecting the stun round. Quill woke up quickly, due to Colorado, but he didn't say or do anything.

 

[Quillicious]

((Yup. Late.))

 

[DarthCaesar]

Later, Yprky went to visit Quill in his rehab cell on the MOI. On the hall, Yorky asked, "Why did you side with him?"


@Quillicious

 

[Quillicious]

"I didn't. Colorado did. He just wanted to know what Alaska was doing. Don't blame him, he's just curious."


Truthfully, Quill wanted to strangle Colorado. He knew that Colorado wanted to find out everything, and that has gotten them both in trouble with the Director himself more than once.
