[23:02] Cross stumbles around trying to understand what has happened
[23:02] [Blackjack] I'll go help find Garland, I can't do anything here.
[23:02] Slasher finds a locked door
[23:02] LightningStrike zaps out of the core room 
[23:02] o is now known as X1
[23:02] [Slasher] Garland you in there
[23:02] Blackjack runs out of the core room

[23:04] Blackjack rushes into the core room. 1"What the hell is going on!?"
[23:04] Dominator looks at Garland

From the log's of Death Star:

Day 1:

I decided to start writing log entries that EarthGov issued all members. Seeing as I'm the CO of the team, I was expected to keep one. I haven't, but now I guess it's a great way to keep my mind off of things.

Yesterday, during a mission to capture a rogue "Maverick", I was infected with a new type of Maverick Virus. I was able to control it at first but the more it spread through my system the tireder I got until finally I didn't know what the hell I was doing.

My actions have caused a rift among the Hunters, a perment one, no doubt. I and Dominator were always the ones saying Team work is the key. Survival is the key. Well, I ruined my reputation and creditiblity with the Hunters in one, simple stroke. I'm sure one of them will report to EarthGov on what happened and they will have some things to say about it. But, I guess I should tell what each person is doing now.

Wiendigo. He's lurking somewhere in the HQ. All the members except Garland are ready to vaporise him. I personally am not worry about the jerk, but in his state of mind who knows what the hell will happen.

Dominator. He's returned to Dusktown for somethings. He'll probably return soon. When...I do not know. His feelings toward me are unknown.

Garland. He hates me now. I think if he could, he would enjoy me being injected into space and destroyed. I...don't know what to say to the kid. Probably can't say anything, now....I blew it there.

Blackjack. I don't know, but he's been around. His room and the bar, thinking of what has happened. I..know what I did affected him greatly also. My chances are better to stay out of his way, no doubt.

Slasher. I do not know.

Lightning Strike. Also, I don't know. He's been up and around.


Day 5:

My days have been spent thinking over the dire consquences of my actions. I have not left my room except to train, and that has been few. The members are still in their paths of solitude, it seems, espically little Garland, who I've heard hasn't spoken much lately. I've heard he hasn't eaten, though Slasher has been trying hard.

In other news, the Control Room has been repaired I heard. I stepped in briefly, but didn't stay long.

Blackjack has been doing the same as before. Also, Wiendigo is still missing. Big surprise there. Lightning Strike has been searching Wiendigo down alot, lately. I wish him good luck.

But...as for me. I've been thinking hard on what I will soon do...and will it work...or fail....


Dominator had managed to get Garland to go to sleep. Garland had been very shaken up from the mission, like Dominator had. Dominator firmly told Garland he could not have an "adult soda" to help him get to sleep, and reminded him to not use bad language after Garland responded in such a fashion. Dominator left Garlands room and walked next door to his. He opened the door and quietly grabbed his gear.

He left his room and carefully walked toward the docking bay. Opening his shuttles door, and he entered his shuttle. The docking bay door opened and he left. He set his destination for the Wasteland.


Midnight moved forward through the remains of Dusktown. During the exile, Dusktown had been a large reploid "city". However, a large attack by CorSec had destroyed it and it remained so to this day. Nonetheless, its remains still existed. Another figure came and looked at Midnight. It was Liberator.

"Greeting, Midnight," Liberator said.

"After your attack, early today, your lucky I dont attack you," Midnight said harshly.

"The situation called for the attack, Im afraid," Liberator said feigning compassion.

"Shut up and spare me your sympathy. Im going along with this only for Dominators sake, and you remember that!" Midnight said angrily.

"Of course, of course, Midnight. The maverick virus that exists in Dominator will not be activated or furthered. I will not attempt to upgrade it with my version. Intruiging that CorSec of all people implanted it in him," Liberator said darkly.

"At least you dont try and lie to me about the virus, like you do your subordinates," Midnight mumbled.

"They are nothing to me, and will follow. Now, I scanned Dominators approaching shuttle several minutes ago. Hell be here any moment. Id advise you to leave. Dominator must not find out about this, as we agreed," Liberator smiled.

"Ill do as I please! Ill let you tell you lies to him, but Im talking to him later. Ill say I wasnt here," Midnight quickly left the area.

Liberator smiled and watched Dominators ship land.


Dominator walked out of his ship, and looked around. This place brought many memories back for him. He swore inwardly. Somehow, many of his old companions had been infected with a newer strain of the maverick virus. Hed contributed to Signals death. Without Signal, he might never have lived. Dominator rubbed his hands over his Thunder Bolt weapon. He had read the chips data.

"Dominator, this is the last chance I have to talk with you. Ive can only manage to subdue the maverick virus a little longer. Weve all been infected with the maverick virus somehow. After you and Venerator left, Liberator was in charge, as you know. We were attacked by mavericks, but drove them off. Liberator shared Venerators thoughts. The virus kicked in soon after. Ive enclosed a cure for it. However, this can only cure it in the very early stages. You have to activate it within hours of the reploids going maverick. I couldnt activate it soon enough of me. I created it too late. I did manage to activate it o~~~~~~~~~~," the image of Signal started to break up. "W~~~? ~~~n~~m~~~nction... There, thats better. Ive enclosed my rough and early stages for a cure on reploid infected longer. Hopefully, it can be worked into a cure. If Ive given you this chip and not told you this in person, chances are Im dead and you had to kill me. Dominator, dont blame yourself. Id rather this happened, then perform dreadful deeds as a maverick. Good luck, wherever you fare, Dominator. Without Venerator, your are last hope." The image clicked off. Leaving Dominator with the data on the chip.

Liberator moved out to face Dominator. Dominators hand moved closer to Rune Swords hilt.

"Now, now, Dominator. Hold your hostilities, even if your treacherous companions cant," Liberator said.

"Why are you here?" Dominator asked angrily.

"Would you have come if you thought I wouldnt be here as well?" Liberator studied Dominators reaction, and smiled. "I thought so. Youve changed very little, Dominator. Besides being a traitor, under CorSecs control."

"The only one under someone elses control is you, Liberator! You have a new stain of the maverick virus," Dominator argued.

"I assure you Im fine," Liberator grinned.

"Youve changed much, Liberator. Once you agreed with Venerator and my ideals! Now, youve become the bane of them!" Dominator accused.

"Ive changed with the times, Dominator. Youve become soft. Look at your teamE Regardless of the fact that you all dont have any discipline or teamwork, youre a bunch of EarthGov and CorSec lackies. You fight and look good in front of the camera. EarthGov tells its people that reploids are happy defending Earth. You have no power whatsoever. You can accomplish nothing! Youve become your own ideals bane, Dominator. Not I," Liberator told Dominator.

"Your wrong, Liberator. Becoming a maverick is the worst thing you could possibly do! Youre doing whats expedient, and sacrificing everything weve all worked for. Just for your gain! I refuse to talk to you any longer, your not the reploid I once knew. The next time we meet, consider me your enemy. And if you continue to harm my old friends, then Ill kill you. Ill free them, I swear it," Dominator turned to walk off.

"Go back to your masters, now, Dominator," Liberator laughed.

Dominator suddenly turned, drew Rune Sword, and slammed Liberators mouth with the hilt. Liberator fell down.

"Consider it a down payment, Liberator. On your death," Dominator then walked quickly away.

"You will regret that, Dominator. Ill play both you and Midnight for fools," Liberator laughed softly and walked off.


Dominator walked towards his ship, but Midnight stopped him. Dominator looked surprised.

"Midnight!" Dominator exclaimed.

"Greetings, Dominator," Midnight smiled.

"Midnight, about DS... He was under the influence of the maverick virus," Dominator explained.

"I... see," Midnight tried to conceal the fact that he wasnt surprised.

"Midnight, are you sure you wont join the hunters?" Dominator asked hopefully.

"Dominator, you know the answer," Midnight said.

"I thought as much... Midnight, take care. EarthGov, and I suspect, CorSec, wants you captured," Dominator warned Midnight.

"I know, Dominator, I know. Do not worry about me. Take care of yourself as well. We will meet again. Now, you must go. Fight the way you must. Dominator, Ive always admired you... Your ideals and patience are something I could never have..." Dominator was silent as Midnight continued. "As you said to me, many years ago. When you walk in the dark, the moonlight is only a token of the gift you will receive when you finish. May it guide your path. Fare well on all your tasks!EGood-bye, for now, my friend."

Midnight turned and left, before Dominator could respond. Dominator entered his ship and went back toward the base. His thoughts drifted toward the past, and what he had hoped, and still did, for the future.
