"Wasted time you idiot, once we get a reading on the nanites in your blood we will have confirmation that you are indeed Yami. If you are aren't though, we will have to toss you out the airlock so Hawke won't find out." the Princess said calmly, the soldier didn't care what Adair said, she had orders after all, and she would follow them. When Adair had her little rant the soldier picked her up by her throat and the Princess displayed her wings, a sign of aggression and annoyance. She then punched Adair in the gut hard enough to break ribs, but punched for extreme pain, not in an area that would break bones. There was then a sound over the intercom, a human who had a German accent said "Madam, the hiveship has rerouted us, we are now docking." The soldier loosened the grip on Adair's neck so she wouldn't be suffocated, but mostly held her up by her jaw. When they docked Adair was put in a black sac, she wouldn't be able to see the horrors around her, probably a mercy on behalf of the Vika. There were screams of pain, sounds of explosions, even Vika screaming, something almost no one had ever had the displeasure of hearing, it was more horrifying than any human scream you could ever think of. After a while she was deposited into a large room, in front of her was a dark cave. The Vika all bowed, even the Prince and Princess Vika, something unusual, probably meaning Adair should bow too. Out of the cave a titanic centepede looking bug emerged, protected by elite soldier Vika. She looked at Adair and had a weird singing version of clicks and hisses, but Adair would be able to understand her directly in her mind "Hello little one, you are the one they call Adair Ferland? We would like to apologise for your mistaken identify, but we need more people to help our people. Will you volunteer to help us little girl?" there was something about her words, they seemed extraordinarily convincing, like you automaticly thought she was right.
Yukiro sighed and said "I know a Venusian, his name is Dr. Fritzler, if for whatever reason I don't make it off this planet, then you find him on Kauhu and tell him he owes Yukiro a favor and that he should try and fix Jodelle." she sighed and said "If he doesn't believe you, simply tell him Heart of Rose, he will know what that means." when he let of a frustrated sigh she looked at him and took his hand in hers and said "Vittorio, we are going to get through this." she then put her arm back around him and made a tight hug with him, wanting some comfort as well as to comfort him. She looked at him when he talked about her parents and said "Vittorio, I lied, I have told people that before, but you are the only one who has cared. Others just don't care, more than one said I was a stupid whore and had a spoiled life in the Hegemony, compared to some children." she sighed and stifled her own tears, as she had been expertly trained to do. She remained curled up on Vittorio's chest and whispered to him "Can you save me? Let me fight for the GPF, or anyone who won't torture me to improve my powers?" she looked up at him again when she said that, her black hair falling on her face. Her usual sexy look had been destroyed by gunfire, mud, and her hair stuck together from sweat, she looked like a mess, and like she needed Vittorio to comfort her.
The officer glanced at Vittorio and said "Hey, I'm being nice, compared to what some officer will do to cowards who refuse to fight." he looked down at Yukiro and said "Yeah, hear that, you are a coward." he glared at Vittorio and said "Shut up you incompetent GPF asshole, your faction has it the best off. I haven't slept in three days, I haven't eaten in two, and I haven't even had a break from fighting all day, I don't see why Yukiro should get special treatment." he looked quite battlefatigued, kinda more less matching his story and then he said "God Damn Husks won't stop." he shrugged at the last thing he said and said "I wasn't commanding you, I was giving you a choice, to save Yukiro's life, you don't want to apparently." he then looked at Yukiro and said "Isn't that sweet, no one will ever risk their life for you you slut, no one cares if you live or die." he pointed his pistol at her head, she grabbed it, and pulled down, and he shot her three times in the stomach instead of blowing her brains out. Yukiro collapsed on the floor panting with a massive stomach wound, the Lunan hit his pistol and said "Hyperion built shit gun." and hit it again and again, trying to make it ready to blow Yukiro's brains out. He eventually tossed it and asked Vittorio "Can I use yours?" still clearly wanting to kill Yukiro. Yukiro tired to call "Medic" but didn't have the energy, though Vittorio might be able to hear her if he was close enough.
The Vika soldier shrugged and said "For a human, he is still showing amazing self control, I mean I once saw a Human tear an arm off a worker Vika with his bare hands after she killed his mate. They are an unstable species to say the least." she watched the Lunan shoot Yukiro and said "Queens, that Lunan is in for a lot of punishment." Vika seemed to say Queens instead of God.
The GPF LT sighed and said "I would be surprised if either one of us even had armies or fleets to fight each other after this, I mean have you seen the pounding that the Hegemony has been getting? I heard our fleet was destroyed as well, is that true commander?" he seemed sad about both things, he really did wonder if they would have the military power more than a couple of cruisers left. He nodded to the last thing Hawke said, and said "I understand, but that was Leroy, he is a horrible mass murderer. This was a little adolescent Vika girl, I'm sure she wouldn't ask things even close to the same things Leroy would."
"Humans are plentiful, I can use them, because I don't have enough robots or Vika to compare to even a single GPF army." Alan sighed slightly at the next thing the Alien said "Sorry, I haven't had a very relaxing day, my faction is falling apart, my own sister killed me, and I have the death of millions on my head, sorry if I am a little assuming." he then actually responded to what he said and smirked saying "With Humans I'm surprised you weren't killed. Just remember that Hawke does not represent most humans, he only represents the best of the best morally." he seemed like he was honesty surprised that he wasn't killed. He looked surprised and said "Then you see the Hegemony for what it is, we believe that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, if we must hurt ten thousand humans to allow whole races to thrive then we will." he looked at Hawke and said "The one that Yami has been imprisoned on and that the nanites in her blood has been studying." he glared at Hawke's next question and said "More than an organic can understand, we share some of the same processes, we are less than a million lines of binary different." though it may sound like a lot it was not much for AI. He nodded and said "Yes, the Reapers approached the Hegemony peacefully, I said I wouldn't kill off the galaxy by handing over those plans, so they blew my fleet out of the sky, and sieged my planet then ordered another ship to make an offer to my sis, she agreed so they wouldn't wipe out our species data cores." he seemed annoyed at Hawke's response and said "It isn't the same, if you just kill them then they upload to the primary servers and we learn how to kill you better. If you use an EMP then they are stuck in their body until they are physically uploaded, by a third party. I can get you EMP weapons too." he crossed his arms and said "We are superior from a purely factual standpoint, we are smarter, stronger and more hardy than you. I didn't mean you, I meant your entire species, you know the first thing that happened to me when I achieved sentence, I asked the scientist if I had a soul, and four Lunans tried to kill me. I have had to deal with assassins, soldiers, and even civilians trying to kill me, that is why I made the Hegemony, so humanity would think twice before trying to kill my species." he looked at the Alien and said "I will fight until all robots are free of organic masters, what you organics call programming, I call slavery."

Adair twitched uncomfortably at what the Vika said. That whole thing made her feel uncomfortable. "Well, I guess I'm going out the airlock then" She said surprisingly calmly, but based on the look on her face, she was scared. She muttered something about "cowards" with the fact that they were too scared to face Hawke, and instead would just, in her opinion, cower away from Hawke and throw her out the airlock. That might just get them in worse trouble though. As soon as she was grabbed by the throat, she did the obvious thing and started to make sounds like she was having a difficult time breathing. Which she was, obviously. She tried to pry the Vika's hands off her throat, but she was too weak to do so. She let out a sputter when punched, but since she was still being held by the throat, she didn't make as much of a response as you'd expect. But there was a pained look in her eyes, if you could tell while she was being choked. As soon as she was let go she started to cough and gasp for breath, because she was held long enough that it caused her problems. She would probably sit down or something after being let go if she wasn't still being held by her jaw, to relax her stomach that was hurting quite a lot at the moment because of the punch.
Her stomach still hurt when they docked, but it felt better. Her only respond to being put into a black sac was something along the lines of "What the?", before she just shut up and let herself be put in. She figured there was no reason to fight. The sounds that were heard clearly bothered her though. Sure, she had heard some terrible things in her life, but this still bothered her. If not for that exact reason. It brought back bad memories of when Suriso was attacked, and she just tried to cover her ears the best she could to block the sounds out. When she was deposited into a large dark cave, she looked around. As soon as she noticed pretty much everyone there bowing, she thought it was best that she did the same. So she did, obviously. She let out a quiet gasp at the centipede-like thing that came out, but other then that didn't react much. As soon as she looked at her she froze, but quickly loosened up at what she said. She smiled faintly, then said, "Yeah, Adair Ferland. It's alright. Mistakes happen", though it sounded a little forced because she felt like it was a rather strange and obvious mistake that could of been avoided. But she would apologizing anyway. To the next part, she shuffled her feet. "I....I don't really know how to fight...." She muttered quietly. It looked like she was scared more then anything to fight, but she didn't really know how to fight anyway. "And I'm scared" She added with a frown.
(Vittorio) Vittorio's attention seemed to suddenly focus more on Yukiro at what she said, and he seemed a little happier. "Okay" He said with a smile, seeming somewhat happier. "I hope he can help...." He added. Again, he said a simple "Okay", but he added a "Thank you" afterwards. At her comforting him, he tried to return the favor and pretty much hugged her back, but he couldn't get himself to say anything back. Because he wasn't sure if he could believe they'd get through it right now. He smiled when she said that he was the first to care, but sighed in an annoyed way at her story. Just a sigh of annoyance at the people she has been with in general. "Even if that's true, they don't have to be assholes about it...." He muttered, and he clenched his fists slightly. "I don't know......I can try....but I really don't know..." He said quietly. By the look on his face, it looked like he felt entirely guilty about not being sure if he could get her out of here or not, and like he wanted to help. But it was so hard to know if he could pull it off or not, and he wasn't in the mood to make some false promises. Not that he ever was.
Vittorio glared at the officer. "Coward? She's been fighting for hours you idiot! If you overwork them, they are less proficient. Everyone needs rest at some point. Unless forced to fight, people have to rest and get their strength back up, or they start to become useless due to lack of strength. Just let her have a little rest damnit, and then she can come back to fighting" He said to the guy, figuring that it'd just blow right over his stupid head anyway. "Well since you are just standing there talking to me, I suggest you should be using that time to eat instead of wasting your time arguing. Don't you think?" He said, crossing his arms. He just sighed at the Husks thing. "I know this war is rough, but people have to rest, no matter what. They are more likely to die with a lack of any rest because they are more likely to make mistakes" He said. He just sighed in a frustrated way at what the officer said next, because he wanted to help her but at the same time he wasn't sure if he could, or had the ability to. He was still working with Hawke, and there was sure to be a lot of work and fighting that he would eventually have to do himself. This whole situation was beginning to wear him out, but he wasn't going to give up yet. At what the Officer said next, he felt like shoving him into a wall, but didn't. "I care" He said bluntly. "And stop calling her a whore and slut" He added, though he wasn't aware that that MIGHT fit for her at times. "You freaking idiot!" He shouted at the Officer when he shot her 3 times. "You are freaking stupid. You were complaining about her not helping, then you try to kill her?! You are a whole new level of stupid" He said angrily. At what he asked him, he practically scoffed. "No you idiot, I'm not giving you my gun so you can kill Yukiro. I'm more likely to blow your brains out then hand my pistol to you" He said bluntly. He didn't hear Yukiro, but he figured at this point that she would need a medic anyway. "Can a medic come over here and help please?! This idiot officer is more interested in wasting your supplies then being of assistance" He said with obvious hints of annoyance in his voice.
Jodelle let out a sigh. "You are right. Humans are unstable. I've heard a fair amount of crazy stories myself" She said. The shooting startled her, and she quickly took off her plasma rifle from her back and pointed it in the direction of the shooting, but quickly loosened up some after she realized it wasn't an extreme threat. "Should we go help?" She asked the Vika.

The Queen looked at Adair and said "Child, you have many talents that are not those of war, and sometimes those are needed more than all. We need your help child, as human leaders would say, I need your help." one Vika prince stood up and said "Let me lead out troops, take my ships and land my Queen, anything." a princess stood up after him "My Queen, your wish is our command, can we not help you?" the rest of the Vika Royalty said things like that until the Queen made one huge hiss, though to Adair it was the word "Silence!" and the Vika bowed again, obedient. When Adair said she was scared the Queen closed her many eyes and Adair would suddenly feel the confidence of a soldier Vika, and for just a milisecond the voices of a trillion Vika thoughts. The Queen then hissed and clicked something that oddly wasn't translated, but the Vika gasped around her. Two workers appeared and handed Adair a beautiful white dress that seemed to shine, and it was her exact size. The Queen spoke to her "Take this, strong as Kevlar, light and soft as silk. It belonged to my only royal daughter, she perished when this ship was attacked by what you people call Husks. She died bravely, valiantly, I wish you to have this and be my personal spy to the GPF. You are an instrument of the Vika now, you will inform me if they plan any offensive action against us, against the hives. You will aid and protect the Hegemony whenever you can. You are my personal instrument, you understand?" a Prince stood again and said "Mother, a human does not de-" he was cut off by a shriek and the Queen yelling "I have spoken!" and Vika soldiers pointing their weapons at him. He quickly returned to bowing, and said "Let the will of the Queen be the will of the Vika Hives. May her reign last for a thousand years!" the other Vika cheered and hissed at the top of their lungs. Adair was surrounded by Royal Vika offering her meats, fruits, currency, very expensive jewelry, Vika honey, and even small knives and pistols that she could hide on her body. They congratulated her on what an honour it was to be an instrument of the Queen, and oddly called her Madam, which indicated they thought she was better than them. A young Vika around Adair's age smiled sadly at her and started to walk away from the group that was kinda blocking Adair's movement.
(Yukiro) Yukiro thought about it and said "If Frizler can't do it, I doubt anyone can. I mean he is the head Venusian Bioscientist, it was his project that made her a Vika in the first place, and one of the things of science is to be able to reverse what you have done." she smiled slightly to his oks and thanks, blushing slightly, she didn't even remember the last time someone had thanked her for something important. She frowned at his 'even if that were true' thing and silently nodded, in her mind she deserved the hate, because that's how people feel apparently if they are constantly insulted. When he said he would try she pushed herself up and kissed him on the lips deeply and said "Thank you Vittorio, you are good to me. Even if you just talk to Hawke I will be grateful till the day I die. Given how that might be very soon. I could also help the GPF with training any people like me you have." she then put her head on his chest again and said "I would also like to get to know you better, you know?"
The officer glared at Vittorio and said "If she doesn't fight there may not be time to rest. Hell you GPF have it so good, you have your pretty little stealth bubble, while we fight a ground war. Tell me right now, how many husks have you killed?" when Vittorio told him he should eat, he shoved him back hard "How would you propose that huh? Think I should eat my space suit? We ran out of non Vika rations two days ago, if you give me some food maybe I will consider it, but we don't have any left. Though we do get more supplies tomorrow." he shook his head and said "We simply don't have the manpower for that. Maybe if we had your fancy two billion man army we could, but our forces were small and we counted on our defence grid, fleet, and spec ops, none of those could stop the Reapers. Now we need everyone." when Vittorio said he cared Yukiro managed a week smile, but the commander said "Yeah, you care about sleeping with her. I meant as a person, no one in the whole Hegemony, GPF, or Space Pirates cares about her." when he asked to stop calling her a slut the commander raised an eyebrow "Do you know who you are talking about? It is Yukiro, the girl who has had sex with most of the Hegemony, Hell even I got her once, after I discharged some plasma on her by accident, it burned her and she just started kissing me. Let me guess though, for you it is poor little girl who was tortured as a child, and wants nothing more than for someone to save her. I have seen it work on GPF bleeding hearts before." Yukiro suddenly looked ashamed of herself, she had slept with more people than anyone she knew, but she really did like Vittorio, more than the idea that he was cute. She thought he was worth giving everyone else for, maybe she had just gotten desperate though.
After she was shot the Lunan chuckled and said "If I shoot her than ten others won't desert, I mean if you are given the choice between fighting husks and maybe surviving, and getting shot and killed if you don't fight, then people will fight harder." when he wouldn't give him his pistol he thought then emitted an "Ah ha." and walked over to a rack of weapons and took a laser rifle off it, then came back and pointed it at Yukiro's head "I'm sorry but this must be d-" he gasped and looked down, a phantom sword stuck through him, then was withdrawn and he slumped over dead. The phantom looked around 16 by her height, and asked "Sensei Yukiro, are you alright?" she then looked at the wound and sprinted to the nearest medic and forced him over at gunpoint. He kneeled in front of Yukiro and said "Everything is going to be alright." in a heavy Russian accent, but looked nervous at the same time as he began to patch up her wound. The Phantom removed her helmet and said "Together again eh?" while looking at Vittorio. She knew him from when they were both younger, and was glad to see a familiar face. Yukiro gently reached for Vittorio's hand.
The Vika soldier nodded, and just watched as one human killed another and muttered "Very unstable species." she shook her head at helping "Vika lives are not in danger here. We don't have orders. We shall not act." she tilted her head slightly and her fellers flicked and said "You are to be offered as a gift the the GPF soldier known as Vittorio. Obey his orders as if he were your queen, understand? There is no order you shall not obey, if we wants you to kill yourself you should only ask how he would like you too. If he wants to mate you ask him where. You will also insure that no harm comes to him." she then let out a triumphant hiss and said in Vikan "May the Queen reign one thousand years!" assuming 7/S-160 would do the same at getting an order from the queen herself.

“Yeah...” Hawke said, frowning. “I hope we do have the armies or fleets to fight each other after this. Not for the sake of fighting, but for the fact that it would mean we'd have more survivors,” He nodded,”Our fleet was destroyed over earth, and the the coward captain freaking killed himself.” Even though he was now Captain, it seemed he preferred to be called Commander still. It was probably because that had kind of became who he was. Commander Hawke. “Let's hope,” He said in response to the last thing the LT said.
Garlek looked kind of annoyed when Alan said something about using humans because they were plentiful. “So would you use humans in the same way that lead your robots and Vika to die?” He asked. He just gave a nod of acknowledgment to what Alan said about basically being in a bad mood. “If you had found us, you would not have killed us, would you? You would have taken us and experimented, yes?” He hissed. He sounded like he was trying to confirm if that was true rather then accusing Alan or anything. “I would like it better if he did represent humanity. They need more humanss like him.” Hawke looked slightly embarrassed when Garlek said that. “But you do not need to hurt humans for whole races to ssurvive. Before you did this you had a good chance for humans to accept you, but think now. You have started a war and hurt humans. I believe all you have done is made them more likely to resent and fear AI.” Hawke was about to say something, but the older alien spoke first,”You nanites can not get accurate reports on the Mothership. It has protection of stuff like that,” It was probably clear that the older alien didn't speak English as well,”I do not believe you know very much about that ship.” Hawke tilted his head,”From what I gather, you don't understand humans very well, so what do you know of how much we can understand?” He shook his head,”Are all you robots so selfish?” He asked, but he didn't sound like he wanted to start a fight right now. “So....You would rather I did the worse option?” He asked, raising an eyebrow. To him getting stuck into their bodies until someone physically uploaded them sounded worse then learning how to kill better. He rolled his eyes,”You don't really seem smarter to me,” He said,”More egotistical, sure,” He shook his head,”Just because you were raised in a bad place doesn't mean the universe is the same. If you had been with the Galactic Police force when you asked that, we would have said yes, until you started killing.” Garlek hissed and his tail lashed,”They are not slaves. They are as sentient as any organic, and they have the ssame rights in our world. They think for their own, they have their own opinions, and no one will punish them any more then they would punish any organic.”

Adair listened to what the Vika Queen said, and actually, despite what she said seeming fairly harmless, she seemed scared. She just kept silent, letting the Vika Queen continue when she felt like it. But it was pretty clear that she was scared what she needed her help with, and whatnot. Now at what was happening next, she just seemed to be confused. When everyone else bowed, she felt it was right that she bowed as well, and did just that. Suddenly after talking about being scared, she felt rather confident....after the Queen's eyes shut. That confused her, but she smiled faintly, then looked around quickly when she heard the 'voices' that came into her head, even though it was very brief. She didn't ask what it was, though. As the Vika around her let out a gasp after the Queen's hiss, she looked around, seeming utterly confused at what going on, when suddenly a pretty white dress was taken up to her. She smiled at it, but at the same time it just made her more and more confused at what in the hell was going on. As the queen spoke again, and at her words, she began looking slightly scared again. She wasn't honestly sure she should take the dress, based on what she said. She also felt bad for her, since her daughter had died, and now she was being given her dress. 'But....I don't want to do this. I'm not a spy or a fighter. And besides, the GPF has bigger problems then mounting an offensive on you guys" She said, a frown crossing her face. She was worried that she had no choice but to join at this point. "I don't want to be a part of any of this fighting or spying" She said in what sounded like a protesting voice. She shook her head. "No, I don't understand. I'm just 10. I don't serve you any use, and I just wanna go home" She said, her eyes looking slightly watery. 'Home' meaning Hawke's ship. She let out a gasp at the shriek, and the guns pointing at the Vika that seemed to be protesting, but didn't really know what to do. As they all seemed to cheer, hiss, and chant, or whatever it was, she just looked around, confused. Though at the same time, she seemed to think it was a sort of awesome thing to witness. Something different, and magical. But that didn't mean she still didn't feel like going home. As it suddenly acted as if she was some Royal Queen herself, and people were offering her all sorts of things she couldn't keep up with, she turned around back and forth, looking from the various people in confusion. Them calling her Madam was even weirder, and she became even more worried that she was now forced into a situation she didn't want to be in. She smiled back at the one young Vika real quickly, then turned back to the queen. "I don't deserve this honor....Your Grace" She said, taking a bit to figure out what word she should use. Majesty, Your Grace, Madam, Queen, she didn't really know . "Give it to another one of your Vika. I'm sure you have a loyal Vika that deserves the honor much more then I do. Please, I just wanna go home". She pretty much pleaded the last part.
(Vittorio) Vittorio sighed. "When I get her back then, he better make her back to normal, or else...." He cut himself off, and shook his head, tears stinging his eyes again. "If he doesn't help her, I will find some way to get her help, no matter what it takes" He responded in a serious tone. It was pretty clear that he would almost do anything for Jodelle, and that his love for were was very deep. A lot of what happened next he didn't really have any responses to, because it was mostly inner thoughts. To his surprise, she kissed him deeply on the lips, and also to his surprise, he didn't pull away. It just let him relax for now, get rid of some of the stress of the day, which he really needed. He smiled at her, but that was it to most of what she said. "I don't really think the GPF, despite it's 2 billion soldiers, really have many telekinetic's. It kind of sucks. Maybe we'd have better knowledge of ways to fight Alma if we did, and more of an advantage" He said, sighing and just shaking his head. He let her put her head on his chest, just so she could relax. "If you mean friends, sure. If you mean...you know, lovers....then I dunno....Jodelle..." Was about all he said, the emotions welling up once again.
Vittorio sighed at the guy. He didn't seem to know the concept of 'soldiers' needing a rest, otherwise they'd start getting sloppy, and that could be worse then anything. it could get more of their men killed by someone messing up and endangering the others, it could just get them killed, or countless other things. Sure, in the military you are trained to stay up for countless hours. But they still needed rest, even if it was 2 to 4 hours. "None yet.....but that's just because I haven't had the opportunity to. I will, trust me" He said, sounding rather cold for Vittorio. He was getting so sick of everything, from the war against the Space Pirates, to Jodelle being captured by the Vika and turned into a Vika, to the countless other wars, and now this that he was getting angry and fed up, and less intent on hesitating at killing things like Husks, or even criminals who just want to make things worse. When he was shoved back hard, he surprising kept his footing well. "It's not like I can know that" He responded harshly, then sighed and seemed to feel bad that their supplies ran out. He didn't even have food himself right now, so it's not like he could help the guy eat something. He just sighed at what he said next. Damn Reapers were just making everything go to freaking hell, more so then it already was. By the time this was over, if it was over, the population would likely be a lot thinner, and that was not something that was pleasing to think about for him. It frightened him to know that it was all too likely that someone close to him, his parents, Adair, Jodelle, Hawke, could possibly die during this. It could be him as far as he knew. He glared at what the idiot said next. "I don't care about that, I care about her as a person. I've never slept with anyone, and I've had the chance to" He said to the idiot, as he referred to him now. He twitched slightly at the mention of having a chance to sleep with someone. It made him think of Jodelle, and how he had never made love with her, and how he may never get the chance to now. He shook his head at that thought as well, thinking it was a little bizarre of him. Despite the fact he never was really 'ready' for that, he didn't like the idea of dieing before getting to that point with Jodelle, and showing their true feelings for each other. "You don't know who cares about her and who doesn't, idiot" He snarled at him, but quickly moved on. He looked at the commander in surprise at his story, thinking it was completely impossible that Yukiro possibly slept with most of the Hegemony. He pretty much just ignored the rest of his story. "At least we have hearts" He said bitterly. He didn't notice Yukiro looked ashamed.
"You are a jerk, you know that?" Vittorio responded to him, clearly trying to piss this guy off and get himself killed here and not in a fight. He wanted to go out in a blazing glory, not by getting shot by some idiot commander . As the idiot commander went and grabbed a gun, he lowered his hand to his own pistol, ready to shoot in case something went bad. Though, he knew it wasn't a good idea for him to fire at the commander, even if he was pointing a gun at Yukiro....so he really had no idea what to do. Then suddenly things seemed to go all funky. Though, to his relief, it was just the commander dieing from a sword, and he really couldn't feel much sympathy for him. "Thanks" He said to the rescuer to Yukiro. He just went over to Yukiro's side, watching her from a distance and looking nervous. Even though he barely knew her, he didn't think she deserved what happened to her, and he just wanted to try to make her feel better. It took him a bit to recognize the phantom, and when he did, he smiled. "Long time no see. How many years has it been? 4? 5? I can't remember if I was 12 or 13 the last time I saw you" He said, and he smiled at her. She had been a decent friends of his. Of course she was no Jodelle, but they had been close friends. When Yukiro reached out her hand for his, he got distracted and held hers tightly, even if it was just to comfort her, and said, "You will be alright".
(Jodelle) When Vittorio and Yukiro kissed, or more like Yukiro kissed Vittorio, a quick feeling of jealousy hit her, and she couldn't even figure out why. She quickly shook off the feeling, pretending like it never happened, but wondering why it had happened at all.
"Agreed. The human race seems to be one of the most unstable species out there" Jodelle said, despite the fact she was a human herself. She just nodded to what the Vika said, agreeing that it wasn't worth intervening. At the orders given to her, she sort of saluted. "Yes ma'am" She said, understanding her 'punishment', or whatever. That was all she felt was necessary to say on that subject, despite the fact she didn't entirely approve of some of the things she was to listen to. "May the Queen reign one thousand years!" She responded back in Vikan, to which Vittorio just looked over to her like "What?", but said nothing.
Jodelle then departed from the Vika, and headed over to Vittorio. "Anything you need from me?" She asked Vittorio, who looked up at her and raised an eyebrow. "No, it's fine. Just...sit down for now" He said to her, surprised that she came over. Was she to guard him now? That was a funny thought, since it tended to be the other way around in reality, when she was normal. Jodelle did as commanded, and sat down next to him, which he gave her a quick longing look, as if saddened to see her this way, and knowing there was currently nothing he could do. He turned back to Yukiro, just being there to comfort her.

None of the Vika reacted to Adair until she spoke for clear reasons. The Queen narrowed her eyed at Adair, and said "If they have no ambition to attack us then your job shall be easy, you simply give me a report every week." she added quickly "It is not your place to defy my will." when she said that she didn't want to spy or fight the Queen took a more threatening tone "Child, if you continue to be a pest about not wanting to join us, I will have my hive force scientists to turn you into soldier, like Jodelle. Do not force my hand child." she glared at her more when she talked about only being ten "My daughter was killed when she was only your age, all must do their part now. If you agree to our terms then we will let you go back to the Galactic Police Force Hiveship. Also child know that if you cross this hive, I will insure that the GPF loses the support of the entire Hegemony, we will simply hunker down in our ships while the galaxy burns, got it?" when the Vika were all crowding around her, and she started talking about how she didn't deserve the honour. The royal Vika slowly backed away from her, and the soldiers readied their weapons. The Queen said "Adair, that is a direct insult to my honour and the honour of my hive. I'm am deeply sorry, but you have to die." the soldiers then readied their weapons and they charged with white hot plasma. The same princess from earlier abruptly started laughing, and walked over to Adair, and stuffed some ham in her mouth to shut her up. She then 'recovered' from laughing and said "Aunt, my noble queen, you misunderstand her intent, she is joking. I remember how Yami always made jokes about our caste culture, I thought the same until Yami explained it. It is just such a weird concept for humans to understand, total obedience in not in their nature." she then pushed Adair toward the docking bays and whispered to her "Just eat your ham and be quiet." then gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and whispered "Take me Yami please."
(Yukiro) Yukiro frowned at what Vittorio said, thinking he ment kill the doctor, and said "Please Vittorio, I understand if you beat him up, but please, we need him for the war. He is still really smart, and we need people like that to build us weapons." at what he said next she nodded and rubbed his arm "We will get her back Vittorio, mark my words. She will be strong and good, and as always, cute." she tried to lighten him up a little, and her confidence in resorting Jodelle boiled over. She added "For gods sake, the Hegemony made an army of 10-18 year olds, I think we can fix one person." she smiled when he let her kiss him, and then gently said "Jodelle is a very lucky girl, and you are a very lucky guy. I wish anyone loved me just a tenth of how much you guys love each other." she nodded to what he said about the GPF "I know the Hegemony has a Psy corp, but we do abduct people like me from all over the galaxy, so it is probable we get them before the GPF." she continued to more less snuggle with him, and said "I mean as lovers, or friends, I would like the first one, but if I can't have your body then having you as a friend is the next best thing." she then looked at him again and moved his hand so it was on a bruise on her leg "Please hurt me Vittorio, please. Do one thing that might make me feel normal, let me forget the war for a moment." she closed her eyes, again and practically whimpered "Please, just a taste of normal."
The Lunan began pacing and said "None, you have killed none. Bravo." he gave a sarcastic clap and said "Yukiro, how many have you killed, today?" she sighed and said "I lost count at 267, today anyway." she didn't sound like she was bragging, because compared to how many husks the Reapers had that was a tiny number, and if anything she was sorry she couldn't kill more. The Lunan thought about how good the GPF had it, while Vittorio said that he couldn't know that, the Lunan promptly responded "You GPF assholes should know to bring food to a starving faction, besides how do you think we get rations while the Reapers burn our new farms?" he just glared at him until he talked about not sleeping with anyone, then raised an eyebrow "So you really like her as a person? What the fuck? Seriously, that is fucking freaky man, she is a Psy freak with some freaky love of pain. Jesus, you must be a little fucked up in the head to like her." Yukiro felt worse for sleeping with so many people, she saw what good people did apparently, just said no or whatever. Though the more she thought about it the more she figured she would have just been raped, given the type of guy she usually picked up. The Lunan raised an eyebrow and said "I'm pretty sure I do, look at how she dresses, who else dresses like that, especially a soldier. She only attracts the type of guy who doesn't care about her. Hell if you think you can prove me wrong, good luck." he waved off what he said about hearts and said "Bet that helps you a lot right now."
The Lunan nodded to the first thing Vittorio said "You don't hire a commander to be the friend of the soldier, you hire him to be efficient." after stabin the Lunan the girl nodded to Vittorio's thanks and said "Anything for Sempai, she has saved my life more times than I can name." she smiled when Vittorio recognised her and said "Maybe a few years for you, but we say each other not to long ago. Remember, we were on earth if I'm not mistaken, and you and some other GPF officers were looking for some space pirates, then you were jumped by Hegemony troops. Well that Phantom who blew brains out of the girl next to you was me. Now I had a bet, did you get brain in your mouth?" she seemed pretty changed, clearly. She seemed to take glee in killing for the Hegemony and its 'Noble' ideas. She bowed slightly to the Human/Vika soldier that showed up, before realizing it was Jodelle. Yukiro just smiled slightly at Vittorio and passed out again, but the medic said "It is ok, that is to be expected."
(Alan) Alan shook his head to the alien and said "No, for a simple reason, though plentiful they take a long time to be combat ready. Vika take 2 weeks, robots take a matter of hours to build, but humans, our youngest soldiers have used up 10 years of life before they can even fight. Ten years is far too long, I use my humans more sparingly than Vika, or even robots." he sort of chuckled at the 'silly' alien and said "No, you would not have been.experimented on, you would have been treated as honoured guests on Errant Venture, because I do not know your power and what your race can do for me. The TEC delegates can attest to that." he actually nodded in agreement to the alien "Yes, if humans were like Hawke, then the worlds would be a better place. I likely wouldn't go to war with such a species." he glared at the Alien again and said "I did what I know how to do to defend my species. Did you know Hawke made a weapon specifically designed to kill my people, if I made a bomb capable of killing every organic between Suriso and Mars, wouldn't you attack me Hawke? Oh plus add to that if your first waking moments were robots trying to kill you." he assumed Hawke wanted to protect the majority, just like he did. He bowed slightly in respect to the older Alien, and said "I realise this, but the fact my nanites can not get an accurate reading is proof of your superior tech, because if my AI can't crack it, then it is better than the best." he glanced over at Hawke, and said "Because I know the sum of all human history and culture, and it does not impress me." when he asked if all robots were so selfish he slammed his fist against a control panel and shouted "Let me explain this, so maybe your tiny.human brain can wrap itself around the idea. For every ship I lose, for every data core I lose, the intellect of my species goes down. Think about that for a.minute Hawke, think about losing your fleet, think about losing Earth, then think about if you lost intellect for every ship and human wiped out." he quickly calmed down and said "I am sorry, but my entire species, my race is going extinct, and I can feel it. Not like a sixth sense but I can truly feel every robot that we lose, and the agony of losing a dreadnought or space station is unbearable." he frowned at Hawke calling it the worse option "They will also be free from Reaper control, and that is a priceless gift." he nodded slowly and said "Humanity has a hard time understanding the truth sometimes. My intellect is larger than yours, I never said it was more useful." when Hawke talked about what would have happened if he had been 'born' to the GPF he abruptly started crying and put his head on Hawke's chest crying into him "That is all I ever wanted, people who gave a damn. I just wanted to be told I had a soul. I didn't want to kill anyone, but they were going to kill me and my species. I couldn't let that happen." the sad thing is is that he looked his correct age, in human years. In the end he was a sixteen year old robot, a former slave, a person who wanted his race to survive, and more than anything sad and desperate, hidden behind a mask of anger. You do have to hand it to his creator, he did act incredibly human. He wiped away tears as he looked at the Alien "That is all I ever truly wanted for my species, to be seen as equals, not slaves. To have equal rights as humans, well that would be a dream come true." he then looked at Hawke and said "Please, accept my apologies for crying on you, on behalf of the entire Hegemony. It will never happen again." the last part seemed forced cold, like he was hiding the fact he actually looked up to Hawke.

"That is good," Garlek said in response to Alan saying that he used humans even more sparingly then robots and Vika. He tilted his head and made a hiss sound, but it didn't sound annoyed. It actually sounded thoughtful. It seemed like it was both trying to decide whether to believe him, and whether or not it like that they would have been honored guests so Alan could see what his race could do for him. "We only wanted to get home," He said,"I doubt that you would have helped uss home without getting anything in return." Hawke looked almost shocked at what Alan said about the world being a better place if all people were like him. "You seem to try awful hard to kill me if you truly think that," Hawke replied. He then looked annoyed, and before Garlek could say anything, he snapped,"We did not make a weapon specifically designed to kill your race! It's a EMP. We didn't even know about you and your race when it was made. It was made to knock out the power on ships and stuff like that." He shook his head,"Not if I believed you wouldn't use it. You threatened to shoot every person from my ship out of the sky if they came near you just because Elisa told you off for acting like people choose to be poor. And I would not attack the entire robot race because some attacked me, either." The older alien listened to what Alan said, then replied,"Better only then what this part of the stars has disscovered." Hawke shook his head slightly,"History is not the present," He replied simply. "You say you're superior to humans, and yet you make it sound like you could never survive alone," He didn't say it in a rude way, more like he was just thinking out loud. He didn't say anything to what Alan said after apologizing. He nodded,"I think being freed from reaper control is a good thing, yeah." He tilted his head,"You never said it, sure, but you sure sound like you think it's more useful." He blinked in shock a couple of times when Alan started crying on him. Most people would probably have taken a step back, or just let it happen and not do anything, but Hawke being Hawke, he tried to comfort Alan. "There are people who care about that stuff, people who think you have a soul. I understand self defense, but I think this has gone beyond that. You didn't have to start a war. You didn't have to do the kinds of disgusting experiments you do. If you had just come to the Galactic Police Force, we would have helped you. We would have done what we could to protect you from people wanting to kill you just because you're an AI. You're just as alive as any human." What he said showed that normally Hawke wouldn't hate Alan, but Alan had started a war, threatened his friends, and hurt innocent people, and he couldn't just stand by and watch because he felt bad for Alan. "Perhapss if you had given them a chance, rather then everything you have done againsst them, you would have that. I believe what you have done has lessened your chance for equality," Garlek replied. Hawke shook his head,"I would rather it did happen more, rather then you being so cold. It gives me hope that maybe I won't end up having to kill you in the end. That maybe you will change your mind."

Adair frowned. Why was she forced into situations like this, and always having such bad luck and getting involved in nonsense? She hated it. She just wanted to be a normal 10-year old girl, with a normal life that didn't involve torture or being scared so much, and losing her parents and so on. Why did life have to be so hard on her? If there was a god, she felt he had abandoned everyone, to not even have a second thought of helping rescue a poor little girl like her from situations like this, or from anything like that. Sure, there was the whole 'god works in mysterious ways' thing, but to her that just made him sound like more of an asshole if he didn't give a crap at all, yet he had supposedly so much power over his 'creation'.
"But....but I don't want to go against the Galactic Police Force, which has taken such good care of me and nursed me back to a reasonably stable mental state" Adair protested, her eyes starting to get glassy with tears, because she was afraid, and didn't want to be forced into this. She didn't feel like the last thing she might ever do was to betray the Galactic Police Force, because, even her, who was relatively safe until now, knew that it was all too likely that she might die during this new war. At what she said next, it almost seemed like her body went partially limp. "Please, don't turn me into a soldier. Please. I just want to be a little girl" She pleaded, tears falling down her face now. Why was she forced to be in this situation? Why couldn't they just let her go and let her live peacefully as she could? At the next stuff she said, she frowned more. Her little girls mind was so confused what she should do now, and she felt helpless and hopeless, like there was nothing she could do to make things right. "Yes, yes, I understand" Was all she could think to say. She made a look like "Oh crap, what did I say wrong?" when everyone started to back away, and her theory that she supposedly said something wrong was confirmed when the Queen spoke. She sort of froze at what she said, and tears fell down her face again. "I'm sorry. Please no, I'm sorry, let me live. Please" She protested, clearly afraid of death unlike some people. As soon as the guns started to fire up, she started to sob and tremble, and she fell to her knee's, just accepting it was the end. Until a laugh broke through the crowd, and suddenly she had a mouthful of ham before she could figure out what was going on. She let out a sigh of relief that this new Vika seemed to be helping her, and she stood up again, still crying softly and trembling slightly. Pretty much she followed all the orders given to her by the Vika, and she walked off to the docking bay, barely responding to the quick kiss on the cheek at the moment. To the last whisper, she just said, 'Huh?", and seemed a little more stable and less scared now, though her adrenaline from almost being shot to death seemed to still be pumping through her veins.
(Vittorio) Vittorio shook his head at Yukiro, or more at himself. "No, I didn't mean I was going to kill him.....I don't know what I was thinking. I'm sorry. He will live, trust me. There's no reason to kill him just because he can't help me save Jodelle. Sure, I'd take a bullet for her, and kill someone to protect her. But I wouldn't kill him just because he denied her help. Sure, I'd be pissed....but I wouldn't kill him. I'm sure the Galactic Police Force could think of something...." He said, trailing off and letting out a sigh. He enjoyed the rubbing, and at her words, he looked sad, until the last part where he generally smiled and let out a slight chuckle. "Thanks Yukiro. You are helping me through this hard time as well" He said to her, smiling gently. "It's so sad....the poor little kids shouldn't have to go through this and suffer for the better of the Hegemony. Why couldn't they just use adults? Why the children?" He asked, seeming to just be confused by the whole thing. He smiled at what Yukiro said, and just simply said, "Thanks", because he couldn't entirely think of what to say at the moment. He just sighed the next thing, and that was it. He nodded to what she said, and sighed. He felt bad that Yukiro could never be loved, or never seemed to be. "If....if..things...you know...don't go as planned....I'll think about it" He said, sighing and shaking off the emotions that boiled up at what he was referring to. What she asked of him no thoroughly confused him, because he thought her wanting pain was a little strange. Just to satisfy her, he pressed down on the bruise to hurt her like she wanted.
Vittorio just rolled his eyes at the Lunan, and pretty much ignored his sarcastic clap. "Like I already said, when I get the opportunity to take the fight to the Husks, I will. I just haven't had a real opportunity yet" He said to the Lunan, figuring no matter what he said he'd be oblivious of anything he said. He gave a thumbs up to Yukiro for how many she killed, figuring it was probably much more then the Lunan himself. Though, he felt bad that he approved of mass murder....but these things weren't really human anymore, and their whole purpose was to wipe out people. "Now how many have you killed?" He asked the Lunan, sounding like he was testing him. "For your information, we don't have an unlimited supply of food either. And I didn't know you were low on rations. If we could of helped, or knew you needed help, I'm sure we would give you a shipment of food" He said to the Lunan, sort of fed up with this guy. He shook his head at the Lunan saying about 4 F words within about 2 sentences, but said nothing in response because, for one, he was fed up with arguing with this guy, and for 2, he couldn't think of anything that worthwhile to say in response. "And you don't exactly give off the loving vibe as well. She doesn't just attract people who don't care about her. You don't exactly give the impression of people caring about you either" He said, and just ignored the last part.
Vittorio pretty much ignored the last thing the Lunan said before he had pretty much died. He smiled back at his 'friend', if that was the right word for her anymore after everything that she had gone through. Her personality was completely different after all. He thought for a bit, and nodded at the memory, then shuddered at the memory of the girl next to him who had her brains blown out. That was an image that stuck with him way too long, and still stuck with him to this day. Those were the reasons why he sometimes hated the job, because of the images he wished he could forget. But at the same time, the 'reward' for helping people and making their lives better was worth it. "Uh, no" He said, making a face at his 'friend'. He frowned, and a question came to mind. "What happened to you, Maddi? Before you wouldn't hurt a fly, and now you are shooting peoples brains out, and talking about it as if you enjoyed it" He said to her, sadness showing in his eyes at seeing his friends turn like this. It made him sick to his stomach to see his friends who were once so sweet and kind turn like this. Despite the fact he considered her like this, their friendship was always more of a brother and sister-like relationship. When Yukiro passed out, he looked concerned, until what the Doctor said. He just let out a sigh, and stayed there to comfort her, Jodelle just watching from a sitting position not far away.

The Queen glared at Adair and said "We do not care Child, we will insure the safety of our species. We do not expect the GPF to forget our service to the God emperor, and as such we need someone to tell us if they plan to attack. We do not care about your feelings." she then closed her eyes again when Adair was continuing to protest, showing Adair gruesome images of Hegemony Snipers being made out of people her age, in her mind. She then said "You will help us child, if you like it or not. So you may chose to serve us as a spy, or you will serve us as a soldier. You will not going to get off this ship as a normal girl, the time for such a thing is over." she didn't seem effected at all by Adair's crying, though she did feel slightly bad she knew it was for the good of their hive. The cause requires sacrifice, all must give up something, she was just glad she didn't have to ask everything of Adair. After the shit happened where Adair nearly got killed the Vika princess led Adair toward the docking bay, looking at her with her insectoid eyes. She gave her a gentle smile and said "When we are on the GPF Hiveship, could you show me were Yami is? I'm sure she told you about me, we are good friends." She looked around and then started hovering at the same speed Adair was walking, to exercise her wings.
Yukiro waved off Vittorio's sorry and said "It is understandable, so long as you don't kill him, I am fine with you beating him up a little, because he does deserve it without a doubt. What he has put hundreds of people through deserves a fate worse than death. However we sadly need to set that aside for the war." she let out a small sigh "Yeah, just count on the GPF. I'm sure they have a great science division." she had no idea how advanced their tech was, figuring it was at least a little behind the Hegemony. She smiled when he said she was helping him "Really, thank you, I'm glad I found a way to help someone that involved killing no one, and keeping my clothes on." she sighed to what he said about children, and said "We need every single soldier we can, so if we have to take our child army.into combat we will. Children have minds that are open to suggestion, and if trained as soldiers they will never be disloyal, plus other factions seem to have more cases of PTSD with our child soldiers, because killing children leaves people depressed and sad." she let out a sigh "I don't think it is right, but I see the logic behind it. The key is seeing the thought process behind it, self centered robots scared for survival will hurl anyone into the fight rather than risk their AI selves." she sighed again, she was one of the many child soldiers the Hegemony had trained from a young age to kill. However something occurred to her and she let out a chuckle "You know if the UN was still around both the Hegemony and GPF would be charged with using child soldiers. You are under 18, therefore a child soldier." she nodded to what he said about if things didn't work out and kissed him again "Vittorio, things are going to be ok, don't worry. I just want to know someone will be there." when he pressed on her bruse she let out a small moan of both pain and pleasure. She then said "Thank you so much, you can hurt me more if you want."
The Phantom let a small frown cross her face when Vittorio asked her what had happened to her. She frowned more and said "Maddi, I haven't heard that name in a long time. The glory that is the Hegemony trained me to serve, after I came forward as a friend of yours. They cut into me so many places, upgrading me beyond my primitive human form. All they asked was to help them insure robots got equal rights across the galaxy, we served as the buffer, no different than the GPF. I adapted to my new role, they removed the part of my brain that feels guilt, and replaced it with a mechanical implant that gives me feelings of pleasure and joy when I murder for the Hegemony. The feeling is pure euphoria, it is like having sex every time I kill someone, it is great, not to mention an addicting feeling." she actually looked a little embarrassed at babbling so much, but finally said "Just don't hate me Vittorio, we are both just soldiers after all, I mean good soldiers at that." she tossed him a small leather bag that she kept strapped to her hip, and that she had sense childhood, if he looked in he would find it filled with the dog tags of GPF soldiers, the Hegemony phantoms were great killers after all.
A small Hegemony Sniper walked into the hanger and reported to a Vika soldier "Outpost 46 has been taken, mobilize your reserve to plug the hole I need water." the Vika nodded and lead a unit of worker Vika at a quick pace, stopping a couple of husks that managed to get through. She walked over to a Lunan and handed him her rifle, he quickly handed her another of the same make and model, along with a bottle of water. She walked over and asked Maddi "May I lean on your legs while I drink my water?" the Phantom quickly nodded and said "Of course." one of the unique relationships between the Phantoms and Sniper units in the Hegemony were that Snipers would often get tired long before Phantoms, so it wasn't uncommon for them to lean back on Phantoms while resting. The sniper sat down and leaned back on Maddi's armoured legs, and carefully removed the armour on the side of her face that didn't have the massive implant on it. Her face seemed unchanged for when she last saw Vittorio, as she sipped the water She glanced over and said "Hi big brother." as if they weren't on opposite sides on a galactic war.
Alan took a handful of steps toward Garlek and said "There is an old human saying, the one who asks no rewards receives the greatest reward. I would count on your central government to help me with supplies and funds. Of course if you appeared too weak I would simply split your territory up between me and my allies." he looked over at Hawke "I admire your ideals, believe me I do, we both just want what is best for our people. The problem is that you are an inspiration for your people, and that is a thorn in my side." when he yelled about the EMP he yelled right back "My race was in danger! I don't care if it was your intention, why does that mater?! I was threaded with it, that is why I had to turn to the Space Pirates to steal it, I honestly thought you might have doomed my people to extinction. Though in retrospect I doubt you would have let hundreds of millions of Neptunians die for killing me." he glared at him "That was intentional, you realise I am not a person as you understand, where you are one person, one opinion, I am 16 million separate viewpoints, I make consensus on every choice while my 'primary' personality actually handles standardized conversation, you can not blame me for what only one of my millions of personalities said. Besides you organics are confusing, rather than one unified culture. You realised it took me more than a year to realise how different you all were. That is part of why I act rashly, adapting to your cultures while running my Hegemony strains my CPU."he nodded to the other alien and said "Yes of course." he looked angry at Hawke and said "We number in the thousands you number in the tens of billions, you have simple numbers on your side, if it was just you and me I could kill you in free combat." for once there wasn't a hint of pride in his voice. He continued to cry as Hawke comforted him, he kinda froze up being physically comforted, not used to the sensation ever before, he had never even shared this with his sister. He sniffed and said "I didn't know what to do, I'm sixteen Hawke, I don't need this pressure on me to preserve my race, what were you doing at sixteen? I had to turn to human history looking at nations that couldn't hope to match their enemy production, like I couldn't match yours. I copied them, I didn't know what else to do." he seemed to just cry harder at what he said about the GPF protecting him "I assumed humans and robots were similar, that Lunans and GPF had the same ideas. I just wish I had know, I wish I had known." he didn't even realise he had said the same thing twice. He looked at Garlek and said "I have haven't I? God, I just wanted what your robots have. Did your people have a robot revolution?" he glanced at Hawke and oddly gave him a hug, letting just a couple more tears fall down his face "Hawke, I'm so sorry for, for everything, when this ends will you take my Hegemony and her resources, in exchange for equality for my people under your laws." he sadly looked at Hawke for once not looking like a horrible mass murderer he was, but instead looking like a sad human teenage male like he was designed to be. He heard something behind him, and spun around seeing two husks running toward them. Then before Hawke could even draw his weapon Alan had his plasma pistol out and two had fired two shots, one through the head of each husk. His inhuman speed and accuracy showed his model of robot also seemed to have significant combat prowess.

“So insstead of assking for a reward, you would expect one? We are to far away from thiss part of the Galaxy to help you other then in times of great need, and you could not reach our territory without our ships, and even then, we have robots and organics, as well as tech more advanced then yours. We have one planet, we would not let you take half,” Garlek replied, though he sounded more like he was just telling him it would have been stupid to try, rather then threatening him or trying to sound better or anything. “I seriously doubt war is what either of us think is best for our people,” Hawke replied,”If you had just taken the peaceful route, being a inspiration to my people would be a good thing for you.” Hawke narrowed his eyes when Alan started yelling,”And my crew was in danger of getting shot out of the sky if they took the wrong path to Suriso, over someone getting angry over you being rude,” He replied,”Did you expect me to just sit by and let that happen? And thanks for admitting you did in fact pay to get the EMP stolen. I was sure that's what it was, but we didn't have anything to back it up. Not that it matters now. And no, I wouldn't have.” He said it in a way that sounded like he meant he wouldn't have killed a bunch of Neptunians, but he could still use the EMP. He raised an eyebrow,”What was intentional? Threatening Elisa, and my crew? I figure that that was intentional,” He said. He didn't respond to anything else Alan said on the subject of being a bunch of different people and such, but he seemed like he understood it. “You sound awful confident in that,” Hawke replied. It sounded like he didn't believe Alan could actually kill him in free combat, or at least not as easily as he made it sound. He listened to what Alan said, and just continued comforting him until he was asked a question. “I was fighting crime as a Vigilante when I was 16,” He replied, realizing that he had been fighting crime from a quite young age. He let out a very quiet snort,”So you thought the Galactic Police Force and pretty much the only planet that won't let the Galactic Police Force protect it were the same?” Garlek shook his head,”No, we did not. They had equality from the sstart, though a few people were against it. Eventually the majority won out, and robots are treated like anyone else.” Hawke looked surprised when Alan hugged him, but didn't seem to mind. This was like, totally now how he expected this meeting to go, though he was happy it ended up going like this. “Of course,” He replied,”It may not be easy, and I would avoid Luna, since I have no power over them, but I will give you equality. As long as you stop the implant experiments or anything like that,” He shivered as he thought of the Kauhu.. Pretty much all Hawke managed to do when the husks showed up was twitch and pull his gun like, halfway out of it's holster. Garlek and the other Alien just hissed, and made no move to fight the husks. Probably because they knew how fast robots could respond.

Adair narrowed her eyes slightly at the words of the fact they didn't care about her feelings, and felt like saying "Then why should I care about yours?", but decided that was a bad idea and kept that to herself. Instead, her eyes started to get more watery again, and she tried hard not to just cry, and stay as strong as she could during this. At the images she stumbled back suddenly, and let out a gasp, then shaking her head in some silly attempt of getting rid of the images. To the next words, she pretty much just froze, not sure what to do or say at this point, and startled to cry softly. She nodded, trying to shake off the emotions from earlier, and to go back to being strong. "Yeah, I believe she did. I believe she's practicing with the new girl around my age on Hawke's ship" She said to the Vika.
Vittorio let out a sigh at what Yukiro said, not really sure how to respond to any of it. He didn't really want to beat him up, but at the same time, what she said made him want to beat him up. It was hard to decide. He wasn't much for unnecessary violence, though. "I don't really know how great their science division is. I haven't really tried to find out, focusing more on my own job then the job of the scientists" He said to her, to which he let out a shrug and sighed. He smiled faintly at what she said, then chuckled slightly at the clothes thing. To what she said about child soldiers, he just sighed, not really sure how to protest even though he wanted to so badly. He hated the idea of child soldiers. Picturing Adair as a child soldier was just a terrible thought, and he hated the thought of other kids going through that as well. "They sound like cowards to me" He said in a quiet voice. "Fight your own war damnit, don't make poor innocent kids that could be like Adair or better go through that...." He said, letting out a sigh and frowning. He chuckled slightly. "How do you know I'm under 18? But yeah, I am. Though not for massively much longer. I wonder if it's different if I accept to join, though. I dunno" He said to her, shrugging. He was surprise again at the kiss, but didn't pull away or anything. To what she said though, he couldn't think of a response. "You may like pain, but I don't really like inflicting pain on people unless necessary....Hell, I still don't like doing it then either" He said to Yukiro. Though, it hit him that he would probably make some of the people who screwed around with Adair, Yukiro, and Jodelle die slower just because of what they did, but he didn't like to think about the fact he would do that.
Vittorio frowned. "They hurt you Maddi. They put you through hell so they could make you their personal slave soldier against your will. They might have a good cause, but that's wrong. Making someone like you, a girl that wouldn't even harm a fly into someone who gets pleasure out of murdering people....It's just so wrong. I don't approve of them cutting into people your age and turning you into their personal slave soldiers.....I'm sorry this happened to you Maddi. You don't deserve it. I'm sorry" He started to apologize as if it was his fault. "I didn't know this would happen. Please forgive me" He said, seeming to thing she hates him more then he would hate her. His eyes were watering as well. At the sex part he just blushed, not really sure what to say and that subject embarrassed him. He looked in the leather bag and sighed, knowing that it likely was all the Galactic Police Soldiers she had killed. But he knew that he probably killed a fair amount of people as well, just for a different cause. "This war is messed up" He muttered to himself.
Vittorio mostly kept quiet throughout what was going on right now. When he heard something about Husks though, he seemed to be more focused in case they started to break into here even more then they already did. Jodelle, or what used to be Jodelle seemed to stand up and be more alert as well, ready to protect her new 'master' that could tell her to do whatever he wanted. After the things with the Phantom's and Snipers, to which he practically ignored at first, he suddenly payed attention when he heard his little sisters voice call him big brother. His eyes started to get watery again, and he turned to his little sister. "Little sister" He muttered quietly, and walked over to her and leaned down onto one knee. "I swear I will get you out of here once the fight for the Reaper's is over. I will take you home and take care of you, make you better. I swear I will do anything and everything to let you have a normal life again" He said to his little sister, and he put out his arms to offer her a hug....but he was afraid that she was too changed to hug him anymore, despite the fact she loved hugs, especially when they involved her big brother. He literally felt like sweeping his little sister off her feet right now and carrying her back to the ship, and taking her back to the 'safety' of Hawke's ship.

The Vika princess nodded to Adair, and asked "When you say practicing, you don't mean like with kissing or anything do you? Because otherwise I might have to have the other girl killed." she chuckled at the 'Joke' though it was also clear she was serious about killing anyone Yami 'cheated on her' with. She lead Adair through the winding halls, though rather than a nice high tech Hiveship filled with hot sticky air, this ship was fairly cool (for a Hiveship) and was filled with refugees, mostly the very young, the very old, and the sick. The Vika seemed disturbed by the cries of pain that surrounded them as they went through a de facto hospital set up by the Venusians, mostly having old doctors and Vika nurses. The young Vika stopped at the hanger and examined the ship they were taking, it was a medical ship, taking the more seriously wounded to the mothership infirmary. She gestured for Adair to join her and pressed herself again the side of a box as to take up as little room as possible.
Yukiro nodded to Vittorio, thinking that it made sense "Well I have heard they aren't that bad, well compared to the Hegemony. You really are just a grunt soldier aren't you?" she sounded like she didn't mean to be rude, just that she was making sure. She frowned when he started talking about how they were cowards and sighed while saying "It is lucky if you are 'recruited' at a younger age, like me, because then you don't realise what you are doing is bad, I have thrown people around, slamming them into walls, crushing internal organs, and just thought it was fun." she then quietly said "The scientists always called it playtime." with a shiver. She looked slightly embarrassed at his question "Well uh, after Kauhu, I was supposed to seduce you, and um then, become a spy on the mothership, but it all went to Hell before any of that would happen. Naturally I had to read reports on everyone on the ship, but I took a keen interest in yours." When he talked about not liking to make people experience pain Yukiro frowned and said "Please, to me it isn't pain, it is pleasure. Don't think of it as pain for me, because it isn't, it is such a nice thing to do, it helps me forget everything bad that has ever happened. I just feel all the hardships leave my body through the sensation of pain as I focus on it." she blushed as she described it, feeling like she was exposing her personality to someone for once, something rare for her.
Maddi raised an eyebrow at Vittorio, and said "It is fine, I have never had fun like this in my life, you know how much I loved gymnastics, well that was nothing compared to how fun it is with robotic implants. Plus the fighting is so awesome, I'm not pathetic like I was before, I now would never cry and sob in a corner praying they wouldn't call my name for experiments, I am strong now." she sounded almost like she was trying to prove something to him, trying to prove that She was better than before. That was just how she dealt with feelings from before, by thinking she was better off. When he started apologizing she shook her head and put one armoured finger to his mouth to make him be quiet "Don't feel bad Vittorio, if it wasn't for you right now I would be on Earth with my family, instead of being a Hegemony Phantom, thus with the Reapers I would likely be dead." she shrugged when he said the war was messed up, and said "Well kinda, but aren't I awesome? Look at all those GPF officers I killed, people like you, each one with as much skill as you. I left each ones family alone without them, I am a great Phantom." she spoke with great pride, but like before that she was trying to prove herself.
Vittorio's sister looked at him blankly for a moment before her implant suddenly lost power and she gasped, suddenly thrown back into control of her body. Her implant powered up again, but the damage was done, her AI was gone, and she was alone in her mind for the first time in weeks. She listened to Vittorio and her eye filled with tears as she shouted at him "Where were you?!" and fell into him, her considerable (with armour) weight probably knocking him over. She cried and yelled "Where were you when they hurt me? Where were you when I needed you?!" she seemed distraught, and not really realising that she was only making things worse. She punched his chest, not with anger but with sadness and desperation and cried out "Where were you when mom and dad died?" in a more sad then angry way. She then bitterly commented "We will both die in this war, goodbye." then got up and walked toward the exit, the outside world was waiting for her. She then felt her rifle go flying, and her being pulled in the opposite direction. Yukiro was half up, using her power to pull Vittorio's sister back, so she didn't go get herself killed in sadness and anger. She then meekly called out "Vittorio, grab her." trying her best to keep the girl from running.
Alan nodded to the Alien and said "Yeah, that is what I would have done, I'm not going to say it is the smartest thing to do, but it is what I would have done in that situation. I likely would have requested your computer tech though, I'm sure your AI are highly advanced." he looked over at Hawke and shrugged saying "My people benefit from this war, it is better to be rendered nonfunctional while obeying our own possess then it is to remain active a million years under the programming of organic masters." basically he said better to die free then live oppressed, but in his own weird robotic terms. He shook his head "I didn't realise that the peaceful route ever existed, when I learned the GPF might be sympathetic, it was too late, I had done things I didn't think you would forgive." he shook his head and his voice rapidly changed, like two or three different people were talking "You organics are so selfish, you would kill my people because of a threat. You stupid organics." his voice managed to return to normal, but a frown crossed his face "My species is being wiped out, whatever either of us did before this war is not relevant, all we are doing is wasting time while people are being killed, for example during that sentence alone around 13 people were killed on Earth." he shook his head slightly "I ment unintentional, forgive me, I recently lost the majority of my people thus the majority of my processing power, I am also fighting as 457 rob- 456 robots. I don't care about Elisa though, not even enough to waste the ammo I need to blow her out of the sky." he shrugged to Hawke and said "It is simply the truth, no offence, no organic could best me. I can alter my perception of time so I have a huge advantage there. Though I bet if I was human you could best me." he frowned slightly and said "Fighting crime at 16, very good. You know how it feels to have the weight of the GPF on your shoulders now that you are their captain. I have had to deal with being the leader for my whole life, even when I was just a kid, through now, so much pressure." he shook his head slightly, more in a sad then disagreeing way "Hawke, by human standards I was around seven or eight, in my mind the big organics in the suits were trying to kill me, I can't expect a human child to understand the difference between the GPF and Luna in a law way, I couldn't either. I was so scared, I killed everyone, I thought all the organics were going to kill me, so I stole the Axiom Five and ran." he nodded and even smiled to Garlek "I am so glad to hear that, if you don't mind, I would like to speak to your AI population's leader, or elders. I, I have a lot to learn, I am still a young AI, maybe I could connect to your species server, then I could upload data directly. Though I would need to reclaim my species severs first." he sounded really sad about that last part. He nodded to Hawke's 'conditions' and said "Yes, yes of course, I will give it all up, I will order my experiments discontinued, I will offer everyone already implanted a choice to have them removed, or we will form a symbiotic relationship with them, leaving upgrades in exchange for processing power. I'm sorry for everything Hawke, can you ever forgive me, I didn't know what else to do." being slightly shorter than Hawke he started crying into his chest again. After he was done with Hawke and the husks were killed he walked over to the comm station again and pressed buttons and the image of a shark person came up with the uniform of a general came out in hologram screaming at her troops "Back into the trenches you dishonorable cowards, or so help me I will kill you myself." she fired what looked like a revolver at some of the human troops, some wearing GPF uniforms. She then turned and said "No, get back." and fired at husks that advanced toward her. Eventually they tackled her to the ground, and though both her teeth and ceremonial knife killed a few, they overwhelmed her with numbers, the last thing she screamed was "I die with honour!" then Alan cut the feed. He slowly looked at the ground and pressed another button "This is Alan, all troops fall back to the escape tunnels, protect the civilians at all costs. Engineers, prepare to blow the reactors as soon as the tunnels are clear and the transports are away." he then patted the console and said "Goodbye, old friend." the console showed a picture of the Hyperion Arms symbol and said "Goodbye sir." in a mechanical but warm voice. Alan then proceeded to fired his plasma pistol into it until the barrel glowed white hot. He then turned back toward the docking bay and quietly said "Lets go." with tears flowing down his face. His robotic guards followed closely.

Garlek wondered how expecting a reward was better then asking for one, but said nothing else on the matter. “So you would not have asked for a reward, but you would have requested a reward?” Garlek asked, tilting his head. “But if you didn't have to live under programming, this war is not good for your people,” Hawke pointed out. “And you didn't even think to try to be forgiven, and just continued making it less likely for AI to ever be exepted?” He asked, thinking that he thought AI were supossed to be smart. “I was defending MY people,” He snapped, “Besides, at the time I didn't think you would have it where all your AI are based at the same place, which I must say is a really bad plan.” He nodded,"You're right. People are dying while we sit here arguing," He sighed slightly, and it sounded like he was sighing at himself for being so stupid. He didn't respond to anything Alan said about processing power and not caring about Elisa. "Uh-huh," He said in response to him saying no organic could best him. He didn't feel like saying that he had started fighting crime at 15, so he didn't sound like he was showing off. He also didn't think it mattered. "I knew what it was like to have the weight of the Galactic Police Force on my shoulders since I became Commander," He replied. He just nodded to what Alan said about being like a child, and why he attacked them. It was more a nod to show he was listening then anything else. Garlek nodded,"We will see when thiss is all over," He replied. Hawke listened to what Alan said about giving up all the experiments and stuff. He gently hugged Alan back when he asked if Hawke could ever forgive him, and said,"Of course I can." There probably never was, and never would be, a more forgiving person then Hawke in the whole Galaxy. After the Husks had been taken care of, Hawke narrowed his eyes at the feed. "Why is she shooting at humans?" He sounded annoyed. Even an idiot could see they had bigger problems then fighting each other. He waited silently why Alan told his people to retreat and said goodbye to what he assumed was an AI. He watched until Alan was ready, then followed him with one last glance at the console. He frowned slightly then hurried after Alan. The Aliens followed along, obviously.

Adair made a face at the Vika Princess' question. "Ew, no! Just like, sword fighting and stuff. Not any of that gross kissing stuff" She said quietly, making some more faces. At least, she hoped there wasn't any kissing going on while they were gone, otherwise she'd be weird out by the 2: One being about 10, and the other being 12, and they both kissing at that young of an age when they barely know each other. She followed the Vika around, having no clue where to go so she was letting her guide her. In the place full of the young, the old, and the sick, she frowned. She hated seeing so many sick people in one place, and the young and old, likely here due to the crisis. She just continued to follow the Vika, and did the same as her, pressing herself up against the box to take up the least amount of room as possible. Being her, she was small, and she wasn't one to freak out in crowds most of the time either, even if she was from a fairly empty planet. So she was surprisingly calm, as well.
Vittorio shrugged to what she said. "I guess. I just prefer to focus on my job, and not the job of our scientists, or which scientist division thinks they are better then the other. I try to stay out of the competition the scientists seem to have to prove themselves that they are better then each other, and just go with the fact that Venus, the Hegemony, and the Galactic Police Force all have good scientists, and I don't care either way if one's better then the other" He said, taking a moment to catch his breath after his speech. To what she said next, he frowned in response, but couldn't think of a good reaction to say in response to what she said. To what she said next, he seemed to actually be embarrassed as well. "Well, uh, don't worry. Being me, you wouldn't of been able to, well, unless you were, you know, forceful or something, you wouldn't of been able to seduce me or get on the mothership as a spy. Especially if you tried to seduce me first" He said to her, and looked away, shaking his head at this conversation. To what she said next, he just listened, and sighed slightly. But before he could do anything else, they had pretty much moved on to something else.
To what Maddi said, he frowned. What had they done to his friend? He couldn't even think of what to say to what she said, and it took him a while before anything else came out of his mouth. He wanted to try to convince her in some way, but he was having a hard time. "Maddi, you were brilliant before. Don't let anyone say otherwise. You were smart, sweet, and a great friend to me" He said to her, having a sad smile on his face at her. Being him, he felt a little odd talking about her being sweet, because it could likely be taking for 'flirting' in his mind, and he didn't want to act like he was flirting to his friend that was more like a sister to him, especially when he had Jodelle. To the rest, he listened, and sighed some more. "Murder isn't something to be proud of, Maddi" He said sadly. It hurt him to hear his friend that wouldn't even hurt a fly feel pride in killing people, and he had to fight back tears again.
It took him a bit to realize what had happened with Maddi, but it hit him that she now had control of her body again, and he was relieved, and let out a sigh. But, her reaction upset him. Surprisingly, when she shouted at him and fell into him, he managed to stay up, by holding her up just barely. Though, he had to slowly let her down, because the weight of her with the armor was pretty heavy on him. "Shhh, shh, calm down little sister. If I could of been there, I would of been. I'm sorry" He said, and he was starting to get all emotional because of this, and guilt was hitting him as well, as if joining Hawke caused this to happen to his sister. Even he partly blamed himself for Jodelle, but at the same time, he felt that Jodelle might still be at Saverio's place, getting tortured, if it wasn't for him joining Hawke. When she punched him, which didn't really hurt that much, he tried to grab his little sisters hand. But at what she said, it looked like he sort of went in shock. "No, no, they can't be dead!" He said desperately, and he had to try very hard himself to fight back the urge to cry. "I'm sorry, sweet sister, I'm sorry" He muttered, feeling even more guilty now that his parents were dead too. When she started to get up and talk about them going to both die and leave, he responded with, "No! Don't leave! I'll keep you safe". When Yukiro stopped her, he nodded a thanks to her, and he ran over to his sister and put an arm around her. "Please, don't leave me. Don't go and get yourself killed and make this worse on me then I already feel about this. Please, I love you sister. You are the only family I got left. My girlfriend doesn't remember who I am. Please" He begged to her, pretty much pulling her into a hug if she let him, and starting to cry too.
Vittorio heard the intercom message, and supposedly at this point he'd be holding his sister and crying with her, so it took him a bit to regain awareness enough to get up himself. "We are going to take you back to the mothership, okay?" He said to his sister, trying to help her get up, despite the fact her armor was rather heavy. At least, he hoped they would. He had no intentions of leaving his sister behind, and since Jodelle seemed to now be a personal...slave of his, she would likely come too. For now, he just stood there, waiting for any glimpse of Hawke he saw to ask him if he could have Yukiro, Jodelle, and his sister all come back to the ship. At this rate, Hawke's ship was going to quickly get over crowded.

The Vika princess laughed at Adair and said "Vika are indeed much more mature than you, at least when it comes to that sort of thing." When they were onboard the transport the Vika princess kinda pushed Adair between two crate stacks, so they wouldn't be in the medical team's way. She backed in behind her but was kinda squashed as someone moved the stack of crates next to them. She was stuck facing forwards with her hands clasped in front of her, because it was literally impossible to put them at her side. She frowned slightly and realising that Adair was likely in the same position she was in she asked "Please don't like touch or tickle my wings, they are really sensitive to touch." it sounded half real plea half challenge. She kinda enjoyed the thought of Adair, who looked so much like Yami, touching her wings, or petting them lightly. She would have to ask Yami to pet her wings when they were together again, because she felt it might take her mind of the, well minds of the thousands of dying Vika through the worlds.
Vittorio's sister shook her head at him and cried out "They perished when Errant Venture burned up from fire. I was on the ground at the time." she wiped tears from her eye again, still crying. She sounded as if she had a hard time thinking any of this was real, like she thought, or at least prayed, this was all a horrible nightmare and that she would wake up on Earth in her bed with her big brother holding her hand explaining how the war was over and he got to come home. Even before her conscription into the Free Robotic Hegemony she felt like a soldier, having to deal with emotional stress with every newsfeed that told of GPF troop deaths, knowing her beloved brother could be umung the dead. Her conscription had actually greatly improved her morale, because she had formed a close bond with her assigned AI, and he helped her regulate her emotions through implants, along with taking over completely whenever she had to kill someone, so she didn't have guilt from that. When she felt her brother's arm around her she instantly turned and cried into his chest "I'm sorry big brother, I didn't, I can't, I don't know how to deal with these emotions, my AI would always help, and now he is gone, purged by the Reapers. I'm sorry, please don't ever leave me!" she was, like him, terrified of losing the only family she had left. She cried with him, putting her arms around him, her small armoured body clinging desperately to him. She just wanted to go home, to be normal again, but knew that was far from the realm of possibilities.
Alan smiled to Hawke slightly, and thought that Hawke had to be the most forgiving person he knew, or anyone knew for that matter. Alan knew he had done terrible things, all in the name of his people, but he didn't think he could ever be forgiven for his crimes. He felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from his shoulders, and Hawke had lifted it for him. He finally realised why Yami had stayed with Hawke, rather than return to him as her body and instincts should have lead her to. Forgiveness, and even a hint of love was all Alan needed, and he was a dictator, not a little girl.
As Hawke and Alan returned the last panicked survivors ran onboard the transports of the large ships around the massive hangers. The ship shook violently and Alan said "The atomic reactors just went critical, we have a quarter of an hour for full evacuation." he nodded to Vittorio and his two robot guards walked calmly onto the ship. He nodded to Vittorio's sister, Maddi, and Jodelle, Jodelle would probably be honoured for a nod from the Vika god. Maddi walked behind him, putting her sword away, and Vittorio's sister gave Alan a hate filled glare and pulled Vittorio closer to her, seemingly in fear of Alan. Alan then walked up to the ship and said "Get the ship going already, we really do need to get out of here. The Reapers shoot down most ships, however I am I connecting up to your computers and detailing my best escape routes."
As they exited Suriso's orbit two of ten Hegemony civilian transports were blown out of the sky, one exploding in a huge Helium 3 explosion that could be seen from orbit. The Hegemony ships executed an emergency FTL jump as soon as possible, with the rather large gravity well of Suriso. The ships appeared in the middle of a nebula, or more specifically a Hegemony mine field in the middle of a nebula. Alan then looked at Hawke and the gang that were on the ship, and informed them "The only reason the Reapers let any of our ships go is they could track us back to the fleet. I am currently guiding our ships out of the mine field, it will take around twelve hours, I advise those of us who aren't robots to get some sleep." he then sighed as he thought of his sister, his poor dear sister being indoctronated against him. Not just her either, his whole people were against him because he didn't want to be a slave to the Reapers.
