Sisterhood

Chapter 6:     Sisterhood? 

 

 

Virus' ship, Black Star, came out of warp path near one of the asteroids field in a galaxy quite close to the planet where sub main Tarren Republic's command outpost was.  

"Computer, connect me to their network." said Virus. One of the monitors went black. 

Computer said that they were connected, but there was nothing on screen. 

"Ragnarok. Put that cover off." said Virus with a smile. Someone appeared on the screen.  

"Virus! My friend! Come, come, get in the fourth slot, I'll meet you there." said the man on screen.  

Pilot powered their engines and she brought them into a opening hangar doors that had some symbol she didn't know how to read, but Virus probably knew, because he showed her where to go. Virus showed the rest of the crew to follow him. They got off the bridge and went down to the airlock. He didn't take his armor, which meant that there is normal pressure outside and, also, oxygen. But he did take one backpack. 

When they left the ship, that man that was on the screen was in front of them. He started laughing when he saw Virus and stepped out to greet him. 

"Virus, my friend! Long time no see. Where you been?" he asked. Over the monitor he looked like a normal person, but in face to face, he was really short. He reached to Virus' elbow. He had orange hair and long beard. He somewhat looked like a dwarf. One of his arms was mechanical and was made in a steampunk fashion. It was out of proportion compared to the rest of his body. He was a bit chubby, and also spoke their language poorly. 

"Ah, Ragnarok! Indeed, long time no see. How's the station doing?" asked Virus. 

"Good, good. Very hard to make all things. Much dangerous guys come here. Usually very calm." Ragnarok answered. He also glanced through four girls that were standing behind Virus and added something on a different language, which Cap and her girls didn't understand. Virus smiled and replied something on the same language. That response made Ragnarok calmer and he smiled. 

"So, what can I do for you, my friend?" he asked. "But first, we go to the my workhouse." 

He then led them through the hangar outside on the station. Cap was quite surprised when they got out. She thought it will be filthy, scavenged and in ruins. She never saw a pirate station. Virus noticed her reaction. 

"You thought it will be hell here, am I right?" he asked. 

"Yeah. I never thought it'll look like this. This looks like a normal bay. Even better." Cap replied. 

"Well, it is somewhat like a normal bay. Just here you can get many 'illegal' things. From parts to weapons to men to fight for you. If you have a deep pocket, you can get everything. Also, from Crazy's face over there, I can see that she can't wait to see every damn squared meter of this station. We shall rest here after I speak with Ragnarok. I would let you go by yourselves, but I don't want anything to happen to you. You are the only one armed, not counting me." Cap just noticed. She was the only one that carried a sidearm. All of the other girls had no weapons. And they were looking around carefree. Cap started being nervous. What if something happened to them? Virus noticed her and said with a smile. " Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you." 

Ragnarok led them to a big workstation. Everything was automated and they saw only few people in there. Some of them had tails, some were really small, and some had rocky skin. 

They climbed upstairs to, what looked like, Ragnarok's office. 

"Now, how can I help you?" he asked. 

"I will need weapons. Ten of Pulsar - A_S-5230 will do. Ammo for them and two refillers. Five of T4-AMP pistols. Same adds as for rifles. And also four of CryoArmor suits. Female versions." Virus replied. 

Ragnarok was writing everything down, he looked up at the girls for a few times, probably getting the sizes of armor. 

"I want you to do this." Virus added and handed a paper to Ragnarok. He took it and started reading it. 

"You also need to upgrade your..." But Virus cut him off. "Whatever it takes." He then added. 

"That all? Alright. Virus, my friend, this very cost. No free this time. Discount, yes. Free, no, I'm sorry." Ragnarok said. 

Virus took off his backpack and opened it. Cap couldn't see what's in it, nor could other girls. 

Ragnarok smiled and looked up to Cap then back to Virus. He then started laughing. 

"Virus! This very good! You can go, I do everything. VirOS know me, right?"  

"Of course. We will be on the station. When will you finish this?" Virus asked. 

"Around fifteen hours. Give or take." Ragnarok replied. 

Virus left the backpack and he and the girls left the workstation. 

While they were outside he turned around to face them and said "You hungry?" 

They couldn't say they aren't, their stomachs were growling like crazy. He led them to a food shop near where they were. He got them something called pleska. It was like something they had back on Luna, the planet they came from, as fast food. Not so healthy, but can satisfy you really good. Virus also ordered a lot of uncooked food for the ship. He said they can deliver it to hangar four and give it to Ragnarok. Everyone knew him, and Cap concluded he owned the station, or at least took care of it, like it was his own. 

The station wasn't big, but it had everything you would ever need. It didn't look like a normal man would think a pirate bay, or a station would look like. It looked like a small city, just it was on an asteroid. It had shops, places where you could stay, something like hotels. Repair bays, hangars, people living there, houses... It looked like a normal town. 

"I wonder what kind of pieces of technology I can find here..." said Crazy, looking at Virus. He smiled and led them to, what looked like a normal shop. Inside of it there were computer screens, holograms, generators, even some kind of thrusters. 

Crazy approached a guy who looked like he was the owner. 
"Excuse me, but do you have any upgrades for this thing?" she asked him and handed him her laptop. He didn't say a word, instead he took the laptop and started turning it around in his hands. 

He, then turned around and went to his work table. He took his screwdriver and turned to Crazy,  

"May I?" was the only thing he said. She nodded. He proceeded to unscrew the screws on the laptop and was inspecting it from the insides. He left the work table and left the room, just to return with one processor. He handed it to her and said, "This one is around seven times more powerful then yours, would you like it?" 

"Yes! Of course." 

He then proceeded to install it in her laptop and when he was done he pulled out an object that looked like it was supposed to be worn on wrist. It had a small screen on it and few buttons around it. It went on your arm, like a watch, and was quite useful. 

"This is a Personal Information Processor (PIP). It can connect to your laptop and you can access your information and data without even opening it. It would go great with your laptop. Its finished." he added and gave her hers laptop. 

"How can I pay all this?" Crazy asked worryingly. The salesman looked at Virus for a few seconds and  when Virus nodded, he said, "It's fine." 

"Alright then, let's go." said Virus. 

Crazy was standing there stunned holding her laptop and PIP, and moved when Virus called her name. 

When they left, Crazy asked him, "What was that?" 

"I've done something for him back in time. No more questions." Virus replied. Crazy wanted to know what happened, but she knew that there is no hope in trying to get answers from Virus. 

They returned to hangar four, where Ragnarok and his men were upgrading Virus' ship and mech. 

"Are the guns here?" asked Virus. Ragnarok pointed him to some crates that were in a corner. Virus led the girls to those crates and showed them the weapons they'll be using. He took out a rifle. 

"This is  Pulsar - A_S-5230 main a*sault rifle. Lightweight, capable of taking enemies from close to long range and has high rate of fire. All and all, really good weapon." explained Virus. 

The gun had a full metal body, a stock with rubber on places where it touched the users body. It didn’t have a magazine under it, instead it had a round one that was on the side of a gun. All of the guns had a red dot sights and a grip. They were painted black and green, and it looked really good. 

"We will use this weapons. When we leave this place I'll give them to you to try them out. Also, the armor you will get when we takeoff, too. Now, if you want to you can go into the ship and sleep or whatever. You can be in the hangar, but don't leave it. Understood?" 

They all agreed to Virus' saying and went In the ship. Virus stayed with Ragnarok. 

"How's the mech upgrades doing?" 
"Good. Your new core be ready soon. Also, your reactor, I put new one. Really powerful. You can go, I do everything." replied Ragnarok. 

"As you wish. I will be at the bridge if you need me." said Virus, entered his ship and climbed to the bridge. 

Rasp and Crazy entered their room. 

"What do you think about all this?" asked Crazy Rasp. 

"I know that all of you are skeptical about all this, and that you are afraid of Virus, but I really think that he is not dangerous. Maybe he even likes us, who knows. You see, when I was down on that planet, under the mech, when he lifted got me out of it, when he carried me, I felt like never before. Maybe it had something to do about my leg, I don't know. I felt something in my stomach. I do every time he is around. What do you think about that? Whats so funny?" asked Rasp. 

Crazy had a huge grin on her face. 
"Oh my cyber world. You are in love!" responded Crazy. 

"I'm not! Or at least I don't think so. I don't even know how love feels!" Rasp was trying to deny it. But in her self she asked if what Crazy's saying is true. She didn't lie about not knowing what love is, she never felt it. Maybe it is true. Maybe she is in love. 

"Oh you are so in love, you are red as hell right now." Still was smiling Crazy. "You should talk to him" 

"Are you crazy?!" said Rasp. 

"Yes, I am. Nice to meet you." Laughed Crazy. "But no, really. You should talk to him. Right now. You need to tell him what you feel. It could be too early but even you know, in this job one of you could be gone tomorrow." 

"I guess you are right..." replied quietly Rasp. "Awesome! I'll call him right now!" said Crazy. 

"Wait! No!" yelled Rasp, but it was too late. Crazy already called Virus over her PiP. 

"Ehm, Virus. Rasp wants to tell you something important. Could you come outside, in hangar?" she asked him. 

"Of course. Will be there in few minutes." he responded and switched off the transmission. 

"Go! Outside, now!" Crazy was kicking Rasp out of the room.  

"I hate you." added Rasp while leaving the room. 

 

Rasp waited Virus outside of the ship, while the workers worked around the ship. Virus finally showed up. 

"You wanted to tell me something?" he asked her. "Uhm, yes. But can we go somewhere with less people around." she replied. 

They left the hangar and went outside a little bit. 

Crazy also left the ship and decided to follow them. She wanted to see how this would end. 

"Virus. I need to tell you something. Something I feel." said Rasp. 

Virus turned around and looked at her. He could see that she felt uncomfortable and that she was also red in face, and he understood what she was going to say, but he didn't want to stop her. He just added 

"Go on." 

"You see... uhm, I don't know how to say this..." she stuttered. "Come on." he smiled, "Just spit it out." 

"Alright." she took few steps back, took a deep breathe and stopped. 

Virus heard a gunshot. 

He turned around and face one of the buildings. A shot was fired from the top of the three floored building around two hundred meters from them. That shot was intended for Virus. He felt it bounced of his left side of his back while he was looking to the side when talking to Rasp. He felt the shot was strong and knew it was a railgun sniper rifle. He just wanted to start chasing the shooter when he heard a scream. 

He turned around and saw Crazy running towards Rasp. But Rasp was on the ground, laying and bleeding. Something hit him like a train in the face. He just stood there looking at Rasp and Crazy. 

He snapped out of it and kneeled next to Rasp. He turned her around and saw the wound. Likely the shot was already weakened from his armor and it also hit her to the side of her torso. It just made a deep scratch.  

"It’s a scratch. She'll live. Get her to the ship and tell Ragnarok that there is an assassin on the station." he said to Rasp. She nodded and added, "What are you going to do?" 

He didn't respond. He got up and started running towards the building. He got behind it and used a metal ladders there to climb up. He got to the place where the bullet was shot. 

With a glance of an eye, he saw some shadow few roofs away. It looked like it jumped and could be just an animal, but he started running towards it. With his nano-armor strength he jumped from a roof to another one. He always wore his armor. Mostly because he couldn't take it off. It merged with his skin and looked like it. It gave him even more strength, invisibility, speed and, of course, protection. 

When he got the roof he saw the movement, he saw the shadow again, it started climbing down from the next roof, on the ladders like he used to get on the first roof. 

He ran faster then ever and jumped down. He, then, ran around the building and got in the alley that was there. A shorter figure just got off the ladder and turned around. When it saw Virus, it stopped. 

He knew who it was from the outfit and the gun. He knew that it was a she. She was from a Dark Sisterhood assassin's clan. It was a strong a feared clan, and if someone wanted him dead, he paid a lot of money. 

She wore a totally black outfit, with a hood and a piece of clothe over her face. Only her eyes could be seen. They were wide open, and scared as hell. They were beautifully purple. 

Virus started slowly walking towards her. She started backing up until she hit the wall. 

"You know, I hate when someone tries to kill me. But I hate even more when someone tries to kill my friend. Even worse if I... love her." 

He looked up and the assassin saw his eyes. They were green. Green as a poison. 

"You see, Virus quite doesn't like hurting girls. But me. I don’t give a damn." 

He had a crazy grin. 

"I also need some answers. So you better speak." 

She was standing with her back on the wall. She had a sniper, but she didn't dare to take it off. She saw that it did no damage to him, and would probably only piss him off. 

But she couldn't also tell him anything. She already was really low on kills in her clan, and they would probably expel her from the clan. But that doesn't mean she would just leave. As a member she knows to much. They would kill her. And this contract, to kill Virus, was the only one to get her to some level. That’s why she took it. She thought this would be easy, she followed them all day, and saw that he isn't really prepared against an assassination. She was wrong. He had armor, all the time. She was scared to the bone and couldn't do a damn thing. 

"You choose silence? Well, if you think that'll help you, you are wrong." 

He pulled out a small Epinephrine auto-injector canister, or as short EpiPen, but it probably didn't have adrenaline in it.  

"This Is a my own mixture of, what I call, pain chemicals. Let me tell you what it does. When I inject this to you, after a brief moments your skin cells will start to, well, move a bit, and that'll press and activate all of your pain detectors in your skin. Which will lead to unbelievable pain that you probably never experienced before. Unless you fell in lava, but I don't think you did. This won't stop, until I give an antidote. If I don't give it to you, you will lose your mind and you will probably became a plant from all that pain. Not able to move, think, only to breathe. Would you like that?" He asked her. 

She was shaking and sweating like crazy. If he isn't bluffing, and probably isn't, she is as good as dead. 

But also if she tells him something, when the other clan members find that out, they'll kill her. 

"I - I can't tell you." she said weakly. 

"You can't? Why?" Virus asked. 

"T - they'll kill me. My clan will kill me." Her legs finally betrayed her and she slid down by the wall. 

"If I don't kill you, they'll kill me." 

"Well, if you don’t tell me, I'll kill you. Your choice. Now tell me who wanted to kill me?" asked Virus 

"I don’t know." she answered. 

"Don't lie. I know you know." he said while getting closer to her. 

She looked at the EpiPen. 

"I really don't know! Only the administrators here know that. We, assassins only know the target and the price. Only administrators have more information." she was crying, she knew that if he thinks that she doesn't know anything, he'll kill her. She needed someway out of that situation. 

"Wait! Y - you can let me go, and I'll try to get some information for you. Please!" 

Even if she was an assassin, she was scared of dying. She joined the sisterhood because she didn't have anyone, but was good with a gun. One of the administrators saw that and asked her to join them. 

She usually got small contracts, but she wasn't good at planning and strategy. So she failed a lot. 

She didn't knew that if you join this business, you never leave it. 

"Alright. I will let you go." said Virus. He knew that she could just run and hide, and he could never see her again, but his wish for information about who order his death started decreasing. He wanted to go and see how's Rasp. 

"You go and get me what I want, and come to this alley in ten hours. I can't give you more time. I will be waiting for you here. You don't want to know what I'll do to you if you don't come." 

Virus knew that she could just run, he wouldn't have time to search for her, but she was so scared and she will die anyway, that she doesn't have anything to lose. He just wanted to turn around and leave when she asked him one thing. "Could you, ehm, borrow me that potion of yours? It would come in handy while I get the info you need. Please?" 

Virus threw the EpiPen and left. 

The assassin was crouching in the dark alley, alone. She know she is dead because she didn't kill him. But then, while watching the small injection, a wild idea appeared in her mind. When she comes here tomorrow, she will ask him to join him. She has nothing to lose. And if he says no, she is dead. 

Maybe he needs a sniper operator, who knows? She will try. 

Virus returned to the hangar four. Ragnarok set up a bunch of guards around it, for protection. He also activated Virus' mech, which was marching around. 

"Virus! What happened? Crazy tell me, assassin on station? He try kill you?" Ragnarok covered him In a pile of questions. 

"Everything is fine. Did you know you have a Dark Sisterhood's hideout on this station?" Virus asked him. Ragnarok face began losing blood. 

"No. You sure? Dark Sisterhood? It can not be. You mistaked my friend." 

"There is no mistake. You have one group on station. And one of them tried to kill me. You know what that means?" said Virus. "Yes. Someone chases you. Someone powerful. Rich." Ragnarok replied, worryingly. 

Virus' brain clicked. "Rasp! Where is she? How is she?" He ran in the ship and went to the medical bay. Everyone was there. Rasp was lying on the table, while Cap was stitching her wound. Virus approached her. 

"I'm am terribly sorry. I did this to you. That shot was supposed to hit me. But now you are wounded... I am sorry." he didn't want to look her in the eyes. He was ashamed. 

Rasp looked at him and laughed. Virus was stunned. 

"I'm still a soldier, remember? It'll take more then a simple scratch to put me down. If I could see the shooter, I would probably jump to take the bullet for you." 

"Are you crazy?!" he asked. "That would kill you instantly! I can survive an atomic blast, and you would die for me?! For a simple bullet?" 

"Yes." a simple answer was given. 

Virus stopped. He couldn’t understand her. She was normal. Fragile. One bullet could end her life. And he had impenetrable skin and armor and could withstand damage she can't even imagine. Yet, she would give her life to save him. 

"That is 'cause I love you." she added. Room got showered in silence. Everyone looked in her. Virus was shocked, but he just added, "I feel the same." and kissed her while she was lying on the medical table. Cap understood this and, kind of, supported it. She still thought that he is an enemy, but he did help them and didn't show any interest in killing them. He even started liking them. Crazy was glad Rasp was alright and she was happy for her. Pilot was also happy for Rasp, but she, more or less, didn't really mind what they feel. But she did smile and approve. Cap showed Pilot and Crazy to get out and they left the room. Virus and Rasp were left alone. 

"Do you really think what you say?" Virus asked her. 

"Yes. I never had someone I loved in my life, not counting family. There were really low number of men on my planet, and I never could fall in love with one. The first time I saw you, when you saved me from under my mech, I fell in love with you. I didn't want to tell you, I was afraid you don't feel anything. Since I got shot, I thought, what the heck, better give it a chance. I hope you feel the same." she looked him with her green eyes, like a child hoping for something. 

"Of course I do. I never could experience falling in love. I was taken very young, when I didn't care about such thing, and since I got away, I never had opportunity to even be near such beautiful girl. I am honored and happy to be with you." He smiled and kissed her. 

 

"What just happened?" asked Cap back in front of their rooms. "Rasp just declared her love to someone." 

"Yeah, well I can call myself responsible for that. I pushed her a bit." said Crazy with a grin. 

"Well I think it's quite good. Now he can't harm us. He loves Rasp and she will protect us, right?" 

added Pilot. "Oh, come on! Stop making Virus look like a bad guy. He did kill few here and there. Haven't we all?" stated Crazy. "Yes, but we are approved soldiers, remember?" added Cap. 

"Stop it! As I said, he could have killed us many times before, and he didn't. He is our ally, team member.  A friend!" Crazy wouldn't let go. 

"Well, I have to agree with you. He only appeared friendly to us. Never harmed us. We could stop thinking of him and focus on his... our mission." said Pilot. 

They both looked at Cap. 

"Indeed. When Rasp's ready, we shall move on and follow Virus. I can call him a leader now. Our team leader." said Cap. 

"Yes! We are a team! A mercenaries, assassins, a pro-squad!" Crazy started singing. 

"Stop that. We will help him and get him to our empire." cut her Cap. 

"What? Can't we say that we lost him? That he got away?" said sadly Crazy. 

"Who would believe us? We had him and he got away. We would be mocked for life." added Pilot. 

"How about we run away with him. Live like this?" suggested Crazy. 

"Like pirates? No. We shall not talk about this. We do our part of the deal, help him, he does his part, comes with us. Case closed. Dismissed." Cap said her final word and entered her room with Pilot following her. Crazy turned around and entered her room, wanting some sleep. Rasp and Virus spent next few hours in the medical bay. 

 

"Virus!",  Ragnarok was knocking on the medical bays door, since it didn't want to let him in. "My job here is done!" 

Doors opened and Virus walked through them. "Awesome. Computer, my 'appointment' is when?" he asked. "One hour from now.", responded AI through a speaker.  

"Appointment?" asked Ragnarok. "None of your business..." answered Virus. He then walked past confused Ragnarok and left the ship and the hangar. He made sure that Ragnarok didn't follow him by turning invisible. He also did this to prevent some kind of ambush, he didn't really trust assassins. 

He scouted around the alley and, when he was sure there is no ambush, he went in it. The girl was already there sitting on a dumpster, and, as soon as Virus wanted to became visible again, she started speaking aloud, to herself.  

"Alright, he should be here any minute now. What if he doesn't like what he hears? Or what if he doesn't believe me? Well, that potion I used on the administrator sure did provide me valuable information. I did forgot to ask him for the antidote... Oh well, looks like they'll need a new administrator. If he doesn't believe me he'll kill me. If he doesn't, then my clan members will, so it's the same thing." Virus cut her off by turning visible. 

"I just scouted around to see if you maybe set up some kind of ambush. Looks like you didn't. Did you just talk to someone?" he asked her. 

"No. What did you hear?" she answered. "Nothing much. Just got here. So, what did you find out?" he replied. 

"Well, when I got to my base, they asked me if I killed you, I had to say I did, so I would live enough to search for information. Anyway, I led our administrator a bit away and attacked him. It was a nasty fight, they aren't administrators for no reason. Luckily I injected the chemical in her and it paralyzed her. She stopped, and started rolling on the ground with a painful grin on her face. But she didn't make a sound? Why's that?" she asked. 
"It's 'cause it paralyzes the vocal cords in the body. Also does something with the lungs, which makes you unable to scream, talk or anything. But, as I expect you found out, after around two minutes the poison stops working, only to start again after few minutes. That's to make a victim able to talk. Anyway, what happened next?" he answered. Assassin continued: "I asked her about my target, why he was marked and who did that. At first she didn’t want to tell, but she did start talking a bit later. She said that it was top secret and she didn't know. I didn't believe her, but she continued to say that she doesn't know. So I began trusting her. She told me you are target mark one, I don't know why they let me do the mission, when they could send Master assassins and administrators. I couldn't find any more info on you, it really is top secret, nobody knows anything. Oh, and last thing she told me, the mission came from the Drows Empire. That is the only thing she knew. I left her to enjoy her pain. I think she's dead or something like that..." she finished. 
"She's not dead" added Virus. "She probably lost her mind, by now. But yeah, good as dead. Drows Empire, you say? Hmm, weird. Well, I'm in good mood today, so I'll let you live. I suggest, go and hide. Your 'sisters' won't be so happy when they hear what you did." Virus turned around to leave, but she stopped him. 

"Wait! Please! I wanted to ask you one thing." 

"Yes?" -said Virus 

"I... wanted to j-join you. I want to come with y-you. If I stay here, I'm dead." she was begging him. 

Virus turned around to face her. "No.", a simple answer left his mouth. 

Her looked dropped down. She pulled her pistol and, on Virus surprise, she pointed it to her head.  

"What are you doing?!" he asked her. 

"Well, you were my only chance. I'm hunted. Better end my life with my hand, and not let them kill me on some painful way. Quick and easy. Stand back if you don’t want to get dirty." she said with a weak voice. 

"Wait!" yelled Virus. She looked at him with big, purple eyes. Like a child. He had to think fast. He doesn’t really need another girl in his team, but a sniper operator would come in handy. But again, she tried to kill him. Well, the other girls did try that, too, so it's the same thing. He didn't know what to say. Then a voice in his head told him, 'take her, a sniper is always needed, maybe she knows something you don't. One, more or less, doesn't matter.' 

"Alright. You win, you come with me. You stay out of my way, follow my orders and do not question my authority, alright?" he said. 

Her eyes opened wide and she ran toward him. She hugged him and started purring. He was shocked and then realized how short she is. She was like a kid compared to him. She didn't have anyone to hug since she was born. She was like him. Alone, for ever. No love, no care. He took her hood off and, for the first time, saw her face. She had a childish face and eyes. Her hair went till shoulders and it was black as night. Her purple eyes He pushed her away and turned around. She followed him. She had her assassins outfit, a sniper rifle and a sidearm, a normal pistol. 

They returned to hangar where Ragnarok was moving his stuff and people out. He approached them. "Who are you? I never see you here." he said.  

"She is my new crew member. You don't have to know anything, alright? Is everything done?" 

"Ehm, yes. I finished everything. My people move out soon. You clear to go. We are cool." he said and turned around to leave. Virus boarded the ship. Everyone were in the meeting room, eating stuff that the food shop delivered. 

When Virus entered everyone stopped talking. 
"I present you our new team member. She will be our sniper operator. Her name is..." Virus realized he never asked her for her name. 

"Caitlyn. My name is Caitlyn." she helped him out. 

"Rasp, you alright?" Virus asked. "Yeah. Never been better." she answered with a smile. Virus returned the smile and added, "If you need me I'll be on the bridge. We will left this base and get into our first real combat in an hour." he left the room. 

"So, Caitlyn, where do you come from, how did you get here?" asked her Cap. 

"I, uhm, was a military sniper, but then I got wounded and had to leave the service. When I healed up, they didn't want me back. So I stayed on this station, alone, wanting for some adventure. Virus found me... uhm, Ragnarok told him about a sniper that could be helpful. So he came and led me here." she had to lie, she didn't know if Virus wants them to know the truth. 

"What Is the weapon you use?" asked her Pilot. 

"It's a TaT - BiSonar-Railer sniper rifle. It has it's own AI that helps me counter wind, gravity, distance, everything a sniper operator needs to think about. Really powerful weapon. But I haven't used it for quite a while now." she added when she saw the look on Rasps face. That calmed Rasp a bit and she smiled. "Well, at least now we have someone to cover our asses in the middle of a fight." 

They all laughed. 

"Ehm, by the way, where are you gonna sleep?" asked her Cap. 

"She will sleep in the hangar." jumped in Virus over the speakers. 

"Well, then that’s all set up. Are you hungry?" asked her Crazy.
