Riley distractedly and one-handedly reached into her shirt, handing it too him. "Here's your boob disk, blah blah blah, go away. I'm working." In fact, she barely paid him any mind. The slowness of the unit was close to making one of her blood vessels burst from impatience as she wrote out her program without stopping. "If you can, since my last batch was destroyed by those morons, make another pot of coffee please?" It was odd to hear her say please but for Tran, she was willing to be polite. Van walked into the room when Sessue finally arrived. "Sir!" "Van, restrain this man. We'll be interrogating him later. Doctor! We have a few injured!" Van took the prisoner and dragged him off somewhere, cuffing him to something. |

Tran took the hard drive and walked back into the makeshift medical centre and looked at the two officers now on the tables. He walked over to them and started examining them over to make sure nothing was serious. "Stun rounds to the leg and chest. They'll be fine after a few hours, best thing they can do is rest until then. Captain I trust if you need me for my medical expertise on your prisoner you'll let me know." He walked over to his desk and sat down sliding the hard drive into his machine and let it load. files upon files flashed up on his screen as he eyed only one in the list. Debating sending it to Jethro. He looked at Riley, he knew she must have known but he may not have. |

Riley paid nobody no mind, her fingers deftly and efficiently at work. The program would take another hour at least to complete, however, she'd have to test it first anyway before dubbing it finished. Sessue walked over promptly, eyeing the coding on her screen. "What are you doing?" She huffed. "How many times must I repeat myself? I'm constructing an anti-worm program." "And that will destroy the worm?" "It'll heatseek, it'll capture, and rape it to shreds. But right now I need to gather all the ingredients, pour it all in the bowl and mix the FUCK out of it! Now let me work!" Sessue had to admit, as annoying and rude as she was, he would have to depend on her skills as a programmer much to his chagrin. Her idea seemed sound enough, but would it work. He regarded Kelvin whom came to stand next to him. "This is what I have to deal with." |

"I see... well right now as long as what she does works and we can start pushing back faster the better." Kelvin looked outside the window towards the botany Bay and not a moment too late to see a massive fireball erupt from it. "Hal what the hell just happened?" Hal appeared again and looked at the fireball. "Scanning... it seems someone has either set off an explosion in the landing zone or something has crashed, either way there is now no way in or out of the colony short of the dead zone... oh my... I've just re-established a bio-link with Jethro. Approximately forty feet outside the landing zone, all readings show he is uninjured." Kelvin looked at the Captain. "I get the feeling he had something to do with that." |

Sessue glanced at the Bay, unsurprised. "Seems likely. I would do the same thing. Once control of the facility is reestablished, repairs can be done. I suspect he already knows that. I'll give Jethro one thing, he isn't Captain for nothing." He paused in thought. "Has the prisoner awakened yet?" "No sir," answered Van. "How are the injured?" "Still resting." "Keep an eye on them. I'll be damned if we lose anybody under my watch. I'm certain Jethro would also not be happy." "Hal," Riley announced suddenly, "reroute 25% remaining power to this room alone. Shut down whatever unused rooms there are." Sessue glanced over. "What are you doing?" "I'm helping, dumbass. I'm trying to be scarce with what power we have left until I fucking save the day." "You're an awfully slow hero," he said bitterly. "I'm a genius, but my perfection requires time." She barely saw the warden glaring at her disapprovingly from the corner of her eye. "And why's the pansy-ass suit here giving me the hairy eye?" "Same reason why I don't like you. You're not trustworthy." "This coming from a security chief with traitors of the system." Bitch, he thought. She just HAD to bring that to light, didn't she? "Keep in mind, Miss Tombs, you're still a prisoner of Savium, whether or not you're working for Captain Hunt." Her typing paused, she said nothing as she continued. |

"Jethro is rapidly approaching the office complex, if he's uninterrupted he should be here within two minutes." Hal added before turning his attention back to Riley. Tran walked in and looked at Riley he had heard her order a reroute of power to her room. "Hal reroute an additional ninety percent of power from the conference room to this room. that'll leave enough power to run the machines on standby but if wounded come in I'll have to divert some back based on a number of patient ration." Hal nodded at Trans request before returning to Riley once more. "Miss Tombs, if you or I cannot restore power to at least one generator within the next three hours after four the shield generators will go offline exposing the entire colony to the dead zone. I cannot do the work fast enough on my own." |

She sighed, pausing in her keystrokes. "Then I have no time to test the program. Twenty minutes, tops to write out this program. I'll need you to check the coding when I'm done then initiate it. The sooner we deal with the worm, the more likely we'll be able to restore the system. I'll be damned if I lose to those chumps!" She stretched and glared at the people behind her. "Coffee! I need coffee, or energy drinks! And no interruptions!" She went back to work, forcing herself to work faster, eyes darting between the screens and her agile fingers. She was forced to set everything up on the floor and sit on the floor, now hunched over and uncomfortable but she had sat in much less comfortable positions for longer periods of time. |

Jethro stepped into the office and stood behind the warden who turned to look at him, he opened his mouth to say something but Jethro simply shut him up. "You shut the fuck up and be lucky I don't feed you to the dead zone." "how dare you." Jethro smacked him upside the head. "How dare I? How dare I? your men are having a little riot spree that's destroying the compounds and putting every single thing here in danger, so before I do blast a hole in your head I suggest you shut the hell up, sit in a corner and stay the hell out of every ones way." With that he walked over to Sessue and Kelvin. "Report?" |

Sessue spoke first. "According to your ward, a worm is attacking the system and as such is crippling it. She's constructing some kind of anti-worm program to deal with it immediately so that she can focus her attention on repairing the system afterwards. After retrieving the warden, I met up with your team here, but we met with resistance on the way back here. A couple of men were injurred but nothing lethal. We managed to drag one of them bastards here for later interrogation." |

"I see. well once Riley can get the systems back under our control we can manually shut down and lock out all outside access, after that we can deal with what few ground forces there are in each sector one by one. easy as pie." He looked out the window at the landing zone, flames licked the sky still as he simply looked at it. He remembered his assignment before this. the battlefields on Risa III. Eighteen months dug into a trench system and being attacked from all sides. four hundred men to start, at the end when relief and evacuation teams came... eleven men. Aside from Jethro there was also Kelvin. Both left the regular army after that and Jethro signed onto chief of security on the prison figuring it to be an easy job. He had Kelvin brought in as his right hand man, he knew he could trust him and from there slowly and secretly built his own personal guard force, of course sessue had found out very early on but for some reason didn't interfere or call it in. He'd always wondered why. "Risa III all over again Kelvin." Kelvin looked at him. "But with better odds this time." |

"Sir." Sessue turned to his own trusted right hand. "He's waking up." Sessue gave an uncharacteristic smirk before glancing at Jethro. "Good, then we have a lot to discuss with him, don't we?" He walked into the conference room, eyes trained upon the restrained traitor. "Well, good morning." |

Jethro smirked at Sessues comment as he too followed into the other room and looked at the traitor. "so you know" He started. "By the end of this regardless of any information you give us, you will feel a rather large amount of pain but the question and overall thing you need to be asking yourself is... it is will the information I give save my ass? The answer? well we don't know yet, but rest assured this will overall end in one of two ways... Choice one, you answer everything truthfully and in full detail, you find yourself a resident here... permanently, or option Two. You lie or with hold information and well... I remember a lot of my medical training from Risa III but lets say it's very... very rusty, I'm sure I can keep you alive long enough for you to suffer a rather immeasurable amount of pain." He leaned in. "But wait there's more. you get an option before we start. either I can ask you questions and the Captain here can do the torture, or he can ask and I do the work with the tools. your choice." |

Sessue crossed his arms, allowing the man to weigh his options. "U-uh..." "Quickly now, we don't have all day. In fact we only have three hours before we're exposed." The man looked between the two. "It's not going to matter who I choose, is it?" "I don't imagine so. We both have our very own means of making our prisoners suffer. I assure you, by the end, you might be more inclined to vomit as a distraction, or pass out." The man looked twice as terrified now. The TRF Captain looked to Jethro. "I got an idea, let's switch roles every couple of questions. Might be more fun that way." |

"That sounds good." Jethro responded. "I'll let you question first. Five questions and pending answers will determine the amount of pain dealt." Dr Tran looked at the two men, while he is against this kind of treatment he did understand that sometimes things like this were needed, he also knew however that Jethro would respect his position and not ask him for assistance. "Proceed Captain." |

Sessue grabbed a chair, sitting on it properly. "I expect you to be thorough with your answers, even if they might be short. Now, first order of business. Who are you working for?" The man hesitated at first, eyeing them both and the evil glint in their own eyes. Jethro's eyes were intense to begin with, but due to Sessue's current predicament as an Upir-Sapien, his amethyst eyes held a much fiercer and colder intensity. "A cyber group." "Elaborate," he demanded. "They're called ZERO." "ZERO? As in?" "Zero-warning." "Who are they, exactly?" "They're the ultimate group of cyber terrorists. Not only do they destroy systems and create havoc, but they do other things like kill people, only indirectly. I heard once that they actually made a program that sends certain radio waves to the brain, driving people insane to the point that they go into violent bursts of murderous rage, killing anyone around, or killing themselves." Sessue's eyes narrowed. "That's impossible, but that aside, we're talking about the now. I assume you're just a pawn in what could be just a game to them." "Yeah, like so many others. They've got plenty of cash to flaunt around as long as we do our tasks right." "I see. Being a huge organized group of hackers, they would have a lot of money, wouldn't they. So then, what's the purpose of this attack?" "Fuck if I know." Sessue could only chuckle, knowing what came next. |
