Deep within the ministirial complex of the Old city, New Zevkhay, there was a secret ministry, known only to the president.

The MInistry of Secrets

Among their mysterious halls and corridors lurked many strange and scary things.

Door 28 was the location of the Rai project, in which 3 human soldiers, almost killed in combat, had been brought back to life, memory washed, strictly psychoconditioned and then augmented in horrific ways.

Rai -1 was a genetically modified monster, who was near indestructable. He had been shot at by machine guns, and walked thorugh it as if it were a light breeze.

Rai-2 was a mechanically augmented sniper, able to pick off people from over 2 miles with his weapons of choice.

Rai-3 however was the most scary. In exchange for only three years-worth of life and constant pain, he had been augmented mechanically to make him invisible and to allow him breath-taking agility.

It was Rai-3 that had disappeared.

=============

01H20 - Door 28

Many of the workers in the white, sterile room through the hard door were worried. Rai-3 had disappeared.

"We sent him to take out the AUM head, and take him back to us, and he jsut disappeared."

The level 3 officer, who was in charge of the project, threw down a sheath of papers.

"Here, outside Il'vi. His tracker just stopped."

"Could he have removed it?"

"No, I think not. It was after all embedded into his left scapula."

"What if..."

The Psycho-conditioning had failed, he thought. He had no name. He had surrendered that to work at the Ministry.
What now? If he had escaped, there was no telling what he might do. They had to call in help at once. Group Alpha had been recalled and sent to search the area, but not even Beta would help.

ENCRYPTION: QUANTUM-LEVEL1ALPHA

We are requesting taht you send in at most a unit of specialised investigators to aid is in recovery of Rai-3, a secret project. Details will be given to you on arrival.

0210, 4 mles north of Il'vi

Rai-3 stared through a red haze around the corners of his eyes, and screamed thorugh the night. A primeval screech of anger and agony. He then continued to climb the steep hill in front of him. He had finally realised what had been done to him, and some of his old memories had slipped back into his skull.

He wanted revenge. He knew how to get. By killing those who enslaved him. First though...he would go to that place he knew. That hilltop.

In his mind, he felt again the burning of napalm fire against his skin, the sizzle of burning flesh.

He banished the thought. He would now find some transport.

The bureau of secret actions of Mokastana got the message, they knew the effects of Rai-1, and they had lost 10 to 15 of their security to him.

"what happend?" Chief of the BSA, Jason Franshaw asked

"we dont know?"

"is this one that made contact with the project?"

"we don't think so, but we probably should inform them that Rai-1 may have issues too"

"as much as it pains me to release information that we have been reserching since the civil war they are allies."

Jason Franshaw hated giving up his hand, especially after the failure of Hexon, which he claimed personal responsibility for,

TO: Alfegos Ministry of Secrets
FROM: MBSA

we will assist you in any way possible, however we must inform you that you're Rai-1 had infiltrated our research center during its last operation here, and made contact with something we canot disclose on this channel, but it may affect his operations

The Mokastana reply was swift. They read it with worry, before hitting the emergancy switch for Rai-1s stasis room. At once, he was plunged deep into sleep, before his body was slowly put into suspended animation, for his brain wave to be examined by the psycho-conditioners.

TO: Mokastana

We have received your reply, and request for any troops that may have encountered Rai-1 in combat and survived. They may be of use in tracking down Rai-3.

Note that Rai-3 is different to Rai-1: details will be given on their arrival.

The following is an encrypted message from the Ministry of Intelligence and Espionage of Akronis

TO: Director of Alfegos Ministry of Secrets
From: Minister J. Nazjatar, Akronian MIE

Director,
I represent a classified sector of Akronian government, one to be used for matters of secret international affairs. We have received your message and are willing to send a team of specially trained military agents and a civilian expert on cybernetic augmentation, the only one in Akronis. He has the highest classification level we can grant a civilian.

Signed,
Minister Jordan Nazjatar
A reminder: This letter never existed.

To: Akronis

We accept the civilian expert.

FROM:MBSA

no one survived, well the only survivor is why we cannot trust Rai-1 we will send another message about it (OOC: telegram)

(OOC- Does that mean you're not accepting the soldiers?)

The small, sleek jet that Dr. Andrew K. Vajar sat in certainly couldn't have been built in Akronis, no, his country certianly couldn't afford to design and build things like this. It was certainly to small. But then again, he had seen so many surprises in his life with the MIE and he hadn't even seen a fraction of the secret might of his people. His country was like Israel in a respect, a young nation with power purchased from other countries. "Only the Prince could afford this," he mumbled to himself.

He looked out the window, they were beginning to land. Once they arrived, Dr. Vajar stepped out, flanked by two MIE agents in crisp black suits with dark, mirrored sunglasses and holsters on their hips. They directed him to an awaiting black automobile with diplomatic plates- he guessed that his cover story was that he was a visiting Akronian dignitary. He was in a white lab coat, his greying hair wild and askew and his shoes unpolished. "I certainly don't look like one," he mumbled again. One of the agents looked at him funny, curious why he was talking to himself. The car stopped at what appeared to be some government building and the door opened. An agent handed him a communication device and said in Hindi "Call only if you need to," then got back in and the car sped off. Very nervous, Doctor Vajar walked inside the building. "Why do I work with those people?" He stood there, unknowing where to go, his dark brown skin somewhat sweaty, although he was actually cold in this climate. He paced nervously. "I hope I get paid for this."

The car stoppedin the high confines of the old city, between the ministry of sport and the ministry of sea.

Here, there was someone waiting. A securtiy guard, armed with an unusual assault rifle.

"Follow me"

He led them to the end of the alley, before radioing in. A section of the wall slid to the left, revealing a white staircase.

"Through here"

The walked down and down, till they reached the bottom. A long white corridor, with wooden doors either side, stretching to infinity.
They walked down the corridor till they reached Door 28. There, he knocked, before opening the door inwards, escorting them into the room filled with wires and equipment.

"Go through that door there to meet the officer for the project."
===================

Rai-3 lept across rooftops, and continued onwards through Il'vi to the Maglev terminal. There was his ticket to quick travel back to New Zevkhay.

He landed with a barely audible thump on the Asphalt, and coninued to the station. Here, he was quieter. He silently moved through the ticket barrier, and onto the platform.

He then sat down on a bench, to wait for the next train.

MBSA


"no we cant do that...."

"only way to track the monster..."

"....states secrets, we need-"

"ALLIES Juventud proved that"

-----------------------

Inside the deep bunker of the Mokastana Military complex defenses were being redesigned, not only had they lost to a cyborg assassin, but the expirements benefited him....so they were being moved to the MBSA complex in the mountains, some place were these projects could continue without the political mumbo jumbo....most were transported by plane, some by truck, all at the protest of the researchers...

a few however, were to dangerous to move....and one of those, would be used to find Rai-3

the only question was were did its loyalty lay...

Rai-3 saw the Maglev come in, and at once bounded across to the opening doors. It was an automated train. Good.

He moved right to the front, then broke into the locomotive. He shuffled past humming transformers and sparking electromagnets, and found himself in the cockpit. There were all the manual controls here, in case it was necessary to drive manually, such as on the Polinapolis route.

He hit the override button, then started the train forwards. Slowly it accelerated to 220 mph. He kept on pushing the lever forwards, till it was at its foremost position.

The train sped onwards at 370 mph, way too fast for normal operating speeds. Already, the electromagnetic controls were starting to heat up considerably.

He sprayed them down with a CO2 extinguisher, to stop it from overheating at once, before continuing controlling the train as it went thorugh signal after signal.

Jason Franshaw decided to test the subject, he sat in his office thinking hard. He needed to find away to convice this one to help him out, and it wouldnt be easy. After a few minutes he finally he contacted with the project....

(Its a bad idea...)

(Please, just help me out with this)

(Why should I, i was suppose to be just like him)

(But you are not)

(I know, instead you found other ways to kill, even hired one to kill the chancellor)

(and you helped him)

(this nation needed him out, just like the world needs to stop killing)

(I am offering you the chance to stop a killer)

(Why should I accept)

(Freedom)

(Bullshit, Im far to dangerous to be running the streets of Mokastana)

(Well im sure thier is something you want)

(i want peace, but i know you cant give that to me, and no the beta wont help you either, we already had a chat)

(fuck)

(i heard that)

the coversation continued for hours until, for reasons unknown, the project finally decided to help out....under conditions still confusing even too Franshaw...

The maglev screamed onwards. By now, the network operators had been notified of the manual control, and were about to shut the unit down. It was 30 miles outside New Zevkhay, and 40 miles from Central station.

Rai-3 cursed as the train slowed down and descended to touch the rail. He clambered out the side door of the locomotive, and began to mount the track-side fence. Once over, he found himself facing the motorway. Still good enough. There was a service station along the road.

He walked along to it, and spied someone entering their car. He immedaitely ran at them, knocked them down unconscious, and drove off at high-speed in their car. It wouldn't matter if he broke the speed limit getting into New Zevkhay.

The car screeched off at 90 mph, and careened down the motorway towards New Zevkhay.

One transport plane carrying the project was being sent to Afegos, while it was recommend not to let the project outside of Mokastana it was a matter of ensuring the project was worth it. The lone transport carried 20 Jaguar ELITE Commandos and the first 5 Jaguar Assassins, trained experts in killing and murder. Only now they knew they were going against the best of the best of technology...

the plane was escorted by 30 mokan Fighters mostly MIG-29s, and the sort.

(you will all die)

"Don't listen to her, she loves to mess with our minds"

(is that a problem)


TO: Alfegos Military HQ
FROM: MBSA Flight 9374


We need a secure landing point with no firearms within, 5 miles that can be accessed by ANYONE.

The project will arrive shortly

The landing zone was desiganted to be Il'vi forest, linked by road to Il'vi, where Rai 3 had been deployed.

This was where the officer would meet them. He would give them the details, and then help them begin the hunt.

the plane landed, unload the passengers and the project in under five minutes and left quickly with the escort.

"Hi, I'm commander Froto...no im dubenhimer, wait hbthththt"

"project Cease that Immedently!"

the commander regained composer like nothing happend

"mander Serrano, what why are you all looking at me"

he looked down at the project, "you little...."

then he looked scared and shut up

The project was in a small electronic chair, and it scooted up to the captain, it was a little girl with brown eyes and a dark olive completion, she never spoke...

(Im Anita, how are you)

The little girl giggled, telepathy was her favorite way to greet new people, behind her was the man that yelled at her,

" i am DR. Dirkavich, pleasure to meet you, let her intimidate you...she can"

The officer was unsmiling. He was used to wierd things, like in Door 3...
Anyway, he turned back round to her and spoke to her.

"You've come to help us track down Rai-3. He was last detected here."

He picked up a tracking chip from the dusty road.

"I think the first place we should try is the maglev station in Il'vi. That is probably where he is going to, to get back to New Zevkhay. If you'd like to come with me..."

4 army-grade lorries rumbled down the track behind him and stopped.

" This is our transport. Lieutenat Di'dai is the oneyou'll wnat to talk to. She'll brief you."

The lieutenant walked up to them.

(this officer is no fun, whats in door three?) she searched his mind looking for the answer, a curious little girl she was, curious and powerful, her past was a mystery to the complex, but she new what it was.The only other one to know was Dr. Dirkavich, how he had manged to get so close to her was also a mystery, but one thing everyone knew was that she was as dangerous. Give any child the ability to read minds, telekinetic powers, and the ability to control other other people...yeah she was dangerous....

she sat in the little scooter...

she searched for Rai-3s mind, he was far enough that she couldn't get in, but she could still communicate


(hes driving somewhere) she sent to the troops in front of her


to Rai-3

(hello) the small voice spoke in his head

(how are you? giggle)

Dr. Vajar swore in Hindi under his breath. Here he was in a foreign nation in the middle of Vishnu-knows-where on a mission with the MIE which was obviously ill-informed about where he was supposed to go. He placed a hand on the communicator, but hesistated. Him being lost wasn't really an emergency. The building was stark white, whiter even than his labcoat. His dark brown skin stood out like a sore thumb in this building.

Hoping these people at least spoke English, he walked up to a receptionist and asked "I'm from Akronis, I was told to come here." Smacking her gum, she looked down on a list. "Passport and picture ID," she said. He rummaged through his pockets and found his driver's license and passport. Both bore large Akronian crests and writing in English and Hindi. She gazed at the picture, him, and the passport and nodded, picking up a phone and dialing some number, he presumed her superior. "The Akronian is here," she said.

The deputy officer met the Akronis representitive.

"I see you are here to help us find Rai - 3. Here are the details.

Rai - 3 is benefitting from skin dispersed with electrical sensors and projectors. This produces the illusion of being invisible.

However, the devices, especially in his eye, cause extreme pain continously, that is impossible to shut off with normal procedures.

"I hope you can help. Our last suspected report was that he was here."

He pointed on the map to the Maglev track 31 miles outside New Zevkhay.

"That was when a hijacked train stopped. There is no CCTV footage, showing it must be him."

========

The trucks moved to where the girl was directing, in the front of the convoy, now travelling at high speed.

The minister knew that she would have a problem possessing his mind: he had been pshyco-conditioned to the point where he was immune to propaganda, morals, kindness or any other bias.

She would enjoy trying to get a hold of his sterile mind. What was behind Door 3 would stay under locks...

=========

Rai 3 heard the little girls voice and turned around in the car. No-one was there. So he must be getting near the end of his lifespan: his system was starting to reject the genetic and mechanical augmentations that impreganated his body.

He continued driving. He was 18 miles outside New Zevkhay, and coming up to the toll booths to enter the city ring-road.

Dr. Vajar was incredibly relieved to see someone. He read the information and then re-read it, thoroughly amazed. "This kind of technology... unbelieveable..." He thought for a moment, stowing his habit of thinking out loud. "Well, I'd be more than happy to assist in any way I can. These sensor, they are electromagnetic. Shouldn't they have a magnetic field that you can track? And what do they use as a power source?" He talked very quietly so only the officer could hear, unknowing if it was safe to talk there or not. His few months of MIE did come in handy sometimes.

" The sensors use kinetic generators embedded in his muscles. That is a good idea though. Come through here."

He led the expert into his office. It was white walled as well, but with a red carpet instead of a white floor.

He pressed a button and spoke into a phone on his desk.

"Can you get me Special Equipment...yes...good. Can you bring in the EMF headset? Thanks."

10 seconds later, a level 9 employee entered his office, with a steel box. He left, for the deputy to open the box. Inside its foam centre was a pair of googles, with blue lenses.

"These are what you wished for. These should make him visable."

"Wow, Akronis really is behind the times," Dr. Vajar thought out loud. He picked up the goggles, peeking through them. The world was suddenly made of lines and fields, with many things generating faint fields, from electrical outlets to the watch on Dr. Vajar's hand. He set them down, the goggles made him dizzy. "Can you explain to me a little more about this Rai-3?"

OOC: i never said she would share it with anyone....


IC:

(he doesn't want to play, i should get closer)


One small Huey was also unloaded from the trasport, the project was loaded unto it with three assassins and the rest took trucks, this way the girl could find him easier

"Well, Rai-3 basically relies on the mechanical augmentations for invisiblitiy, yet has also been modified genetically and mentally."

He pushed a form across the desk to him.

"That at the top there lists the gene that have been updated, such as ae101 that contributes towards strength.
At the bottom here is the deatils of his psycho conditioning. He was mind washed, using quite advanced technology, still in its infancy.
The rest that was lost was taught to him via intensive tutoring and mental training. This must have failed, as he has deserted."

On the sheet was a diagram of a vicious-looking implement.

"Don't worry about that. That is the mind-washing device we use"

=====

They continued onwards, the girl leading them in convoy down the motorway towards New Zevkhay.

=====

Rai-3 came up to the toll booths. Damn. Automatic. He had no change, so reversed, before hitting the barrier at top speed. At once alarms went off, but he was thrugh, and roaring along the Zevkhay Outer ring.

Dr. Vajar was not a soldier or a spy, but seeing those devices set off a spark in his brain. Perhaps he was spending too much time in the MIE. He was sure to think in his head as he began to wonder If Akronis could get their hands on something even remotely like this stuff... perhaps the Ministry of Espionage could actually do espionage. Vajar shook his head, dispelling the thoughts of power for his country. That was most unlike him.

He forced himself to move his eyes up to the information about genetics. Though he was an expert of cybernetics and augmentation, one thing that had always interested him was genetics. "I've never seen such a geneteic matrix... it's almost like you manufactured every individual nucleotide artificially and built them in this design." They probably did, Vajar thought.

"His genetic makeup is unique: only the Rai project and the Dei'mil'soi use such genetics. The other department only modify the genetics, but we use viruses to completely rebuild his genetic stucture. You see that he has unusual amounts of muscle, and his bones are hollow, with a cermaic structure. NOtice the ribcage as well: the ribs widen due to a recessive gene we found, creating plate armour. Almost bullet proof.

We thought of using darts to stun him, but his system would reject the posison. Bullets, well, that would be hard. Rai-1 survived a hit by an AT missile. Explosives are a definate no. Edged weapons would be too difficult. What do you suggest?"

Dr. Vajar thought. He was no weapons expert, but he did have one idea. "Well... I think his weakness lies within the very technology that gives him such an edge. His electromagnetic sensors and kinetic generators. Both would be very vunerable to a strong EMP, Electromagnetic Pulse. However, the problem would be finding an EMP device that could be practically used against such a small target, unless you want me to call the Akronian Air Force to have them drop an EMP torpedo on him," he said, attempting a small joke.

He sat unsmiling.

"This should do it."

He took out a small graneade from his draw

"10 Metre EMP grenade"

the small helicopter was getting closer, the project could feel it,

(please don't ignore me, i want to talk to you) she sent again to his mind, which she said is similar to a maze, with many rooms locked or blocked off, but he managed around them...

(i want to help you, your mind in unique, unlike i have ever seen let me help you unlock it)

she sent to Rai-3, perhaps her loyalies werent with Mokastana afterall...

"You... keep an EMP device in your desk?" Another day in the MIE... when I get back I'm retiring, he thought. Looking at the grenade and the goggles in front of him, a horrible thought dawned on them. "Wait a minute... do you want me to deploy the grenade?" Dr. Vajar paled, his brown skin becoming a sort of caramel shade.

"Well, seeing as you know the most about cybernetics around here...only if you want of course. You wont be as conspicuous, as say one of our research staff, who he knows, or a special ops unit.

Only if you are willing..."

=======

Rai 3 had ditched the car on the inner ring road. He still was hearing the voice in his head. What did she want? He knew something was not right when he felt her probing around in his mind.

He screamed, then revved the engine of his commandered motorbike, and shot down a small road into Zevkhay city centre. These were allowed, it was cars which were banned.

And he would be harder to find amongst the lights and high glass towers of the financial district. Only 5 more miles outh, and he would enter the cultural district, before he would drive down Glory Aevnue into the Old City.

Dr. Vajas thought about it for a long time. Well... I am one of the world's foremost experts on cybernetics... I am less conspicuous... and my wife is always telling me to take risks... I suppose attacking an invisible cybernetic augment counts as a risk. There was a long silence, and then in a couragous, strong voice that sounded most unlike Dr. Vajas, he said "I'll do it."

"Good"

He called the operator, and soon three men entered the room. A level 4 officer, with two level 9 employees bearing equipment in silver cases.

"The case on the left contains the command uplink. The one on the right contains a knife and a HKP90, with 2 full clips of Dum-dums. Just in case."

The level 4 officer opened the case on the left, revealing a hypodermic gun and other arcane equipment.

"Hold still a moment"

The offcier alligned the gun with an area of nerves above the ear of the Akronisian, then shot when he was stisfied by the image on the screen. A small microchip entered the nerve cluster.

"Testing Testing. This is a direct radio link into your nervous system. You'll have totalk into thin air, but nobody can hear us. We can also track you."

Onc ehe was satified, he opened the other case, took out the sheathed combat knife and then the P90 SMG. The top magazine was inserted, and locked in.

"That button is the saftey. The whole thing should conceal under your coat. Nothing suspicious. It is, after all, a cold night."

(OOC- It's Akronian. Much easier then Akronisian)
Dr. Vajar chuckled. "Talk into thin air? Not a problem." He tenderly rubbed the spot where he had been injected and took the equipment, hiding it under his labcoat. The only gun he had ever used was a BB Gun when he was 10, but he wouldn't tell them that. "I'll probably need a map... and a car."

"Heres the map"

He slid a PDA acorss the desk.

"The current location is about here."

He pointed to a spot in the financial ditrict.

"He was spotted, or not as it might be said, in Prosperity Avenue. He will be here in about 5 minutes. I would like you to greet him. Don't worry: if the balloon flies, you'll be covered in a minute by 50 Spec-Ops men. Jsut act like a civilian. The EMP grenade is on a 3 second fuse. It shouldn't make too much of a bang."

"Good luck"

He led the man out of the room, then out into the white corridor. He then walked back to where there was a lift.

"Wait outside. You'll know when he's there. The googles will help. Stick to the shadows."

With adrenaline rushing in his veins like it never had before, Dr. Vajas nodded, the goggles in his hand as he took the lift. He stepped outside, his breath fanning out before him. He shivered and stood in the shadow of a lamp post, putting the goggles on. They looked like rather thick perscription glasses, so as far as anyone knew, Dr. Vajas was a very tan nerd in a labcoat taking a nightly stroll. The world was a strange web of curving lines, in fact he could even detect the slight field of the planet itself. "I need to get a pair of these," he said to himself, then realized they could hear him. "Oh, right... nerve radio..."

the girl was getting annoyed, not only was he shrugging her off, but he was just plain ignoring her...and when she got mad....

"please calm down (name)" The Doctor said

(but he isnt listening to ME!)

the psychic yell was more like a minor headache with words, the doctor rubbed his temples,

"can you at least find out where he is going"

(easily)

she searched thought his mind and rather saw what he saw, and listened to his thoughts,

(hes unsure of who he is, but he has a goal something, down Glory Aevnue into the Old City. what is their?)

the pilot radioed to the Alfegos command,

"what is...down Glory Aevnue into the Old City? anything connected to his past?"

-------------

inside Rai-3's mind...

the little girl was getting annoyed,

(WHY WONT YOU ANSWER ME!!!)

the psychic yell occurred again

Rai 3 screamed, the noise echoing throughout the old city. In his mind, the scream continued, almost psychic.
(Leave me alone.) he thought, before trying with mental force to push her from his mind.

He passed through the high red walls of the old city and lept off the motorbike. He then began walking past embassys and then into the ministirial area. There was an alleyway, that lead to the ministry of secrets. He would go there, and with a knife he would kill all of those who had done this to him.

==========

"We have a problem! The old city is where our ministry is; where he was created. We need to get there ASAP! I don't care about air control:we'll take care of that."

The helicopter sreamed through the night, now passing over the suburbs inside the outer ring. It would be minutes before they arrived, and more to get to the ministry. He hoped it wouldn't be too late.

===========

the helicopter flew their as fast as it could, it would no doubt outrun the convoy, but even the doctor doubted that they would have enough force to stop him....they were going to need backup, and lots of backup....

the girl jumped back, startled...

"how did he do that?" she spoke in a soft voice....everyone looked at her in awe, she had never spoke before but for a girl of 6 years she spoke flawlessly,

(he pushed me out of his mind, i shouldn't yell at him. let me try again) while she was as mature as any 6 year old she knew how to manipulate people, and she was good at it


(please, im sorry for screaming at you, i want to help you. Please) she spoke in his mind with a sweet little voice, hoping that would calm him down a bit....she didnt care about those he was about to kill, she saw his mind as the greatest rubics cube she had ever found, and she wanted to crack it all open....

Rai 3 stopped before he entered the alley. She wouldn't leave his head.

"What do you want? Leave my mind alone!"

He screamed again, and banged his head against the wall. He was going mad. If he didn't have his Immuno-supressents soon, he would lapse into a coma. It must be that. No-one could be telepathic.

(but i AM telepathic...i want to help you unlock your mind...please let me)

"Why! All there is is pain and despair!" he yelled this into the night. He would have to move soon: someone would find him.

(you don't have to yell, i can read your thoughts perfectly. But you have a lot of locked doors in there still, perhaps there is something in their that you are forgetting,or ignoring...I only offer to help you remember)

she flashed one of his memories as a child in front of his eyes, he was laughing

(there is more in here then you think, perhaps you would let me look while you do what you need to do)

Rai-3 saw the memory, and was temporarily stunned.

"Why are you doing this to me?"

(because i want to help you, you obviously have a lot locked away, and i want to help you become who you really are)


The helicopter flew over the city now,

"attention HQ how the hell are we suppose to spot this guy if he is invisible? IR or what??"

"That's the problem. You'll have to use EMF vision if you have such a device".

====

Rai-3 had calmed down now.

"If I am not what I am at the moment, then what am I?"

(you are what your past made you, do you remember anything from your life before the you became Rai-3?)


The helicopter was in the city now, flying at what they believed to be the standard hight for helicopters of their size,

"we do not have any equipment like that over, what is EMF?? Over"

"EMF - Electromagnetic Field Sensors. Actually, forget, use the project to find him. Then you will destroy him."

======

(Why should I remember my past life? All there is is a black hole...oh no, not the screaming again!!!)
He mentally screamed as he saw flaming bodies everywhere, the smell of burning flesh and....
He fell unconsciouss

The helicopter flew over where the project told them to find the Rai-3


"HQ do you want us to destroy or capture, assuming the second is possible, and how discreet do you want it?"


meanwhile the project conituned to look around his mind, with him unconcious she could open any door she wanted with minimal resistance...she found one labled, "family" she opened it and looked inside...

"We want yu just to contain him for now. We'll deal with him once you have him."

=====

In the inky blackness of his dreams, he saw images flashing around. What he remembered as his family...killed in the 1981 civil war: burnt alive. He had survived yet...

even the project was beginning to be disturbed by the images she found, it seemed that his life was nothing but pain and misery, as was hers...while he was still unconscious she spoke to him

(i want to help you, i too am a prisoner of those with power, using us to create better weapons to continue the senseless slaughters around the world. I want to help you end it. If you will let me)



the helicopter slowly landed on a nearby roof as the squad jumped out and began searching the area that the project had told them

Rai 3 heard the girl as he slowly began to wake. He suddenly felt what he had been dreading: finally, he could start to feel what it meant not to tkae the pills they had.
He blood was pumping thorugh his body faster, and his skin was starting to burn as his immune system killed the genetically modified flesh of his body.

(Help me. If I do not get my drugs in time I will die!!)

she realized their was the part she was missing,

she searched his mind frantically for the location of these drugs,

(where are they)

while doing that she forced his mind to try and stop the immune system from attacking himself, buying him a little more time...


the squad was finally at ground level...

(there he is) she forced all the troops heads to look at the heap on the ground...they found the body...


(where are your drugs?)

(They have my drugs: they use them to command me...) he lapsed into unconsciousness as the guards moved over to him. They obviously had found his invisible body by bumping into it, or seeing the disembodied shadow.

He hoped htey would take him inside in time to give him the emergancy immuno-supressant.

after the soldiers tried so lift the heavy body the project sighed and levitated him into the helicopter, after he was in she levitated the rest into it as well

"god damn she scares me" one wispered to his buddy

(as you should be)

"HQ we have the packege where do you want it?"

"Take him onto the rooftop of the Ministry of War, on your left, then across two. We'll take him from there."

=====

From the depths of the ministry came 5 commandos. They had no names: they were mindwiped as well. They were ultimate soldiers, not only because of their unquestioning nature, but because of the totalness of their mindwipe: braincell links had been physically severed, and there was small chance of them going back together.

They came out ontot eh rooftop as the helicopter moved over. They had come prepared with foil-lined helmets. This would be an interesting experiment: would they be affected by the project?

the helicopter landed and the project immendently began laughing hysterically,


(FOIL LINED HELMETS!!!) "HAHAHAHAHA!!!!"

no one understood what she meant, even her doctor was begining to be suspicios of her. she was acting rather.....


"HQ we are on the rooftop your men can unload the package"


she explored the zombies minds, as she called them,

(so these people like to fuck with people's mind even more then the Mokans huh)
she explored, upon realizing that many points had been physically severed she realized she couldn't get anything further...the betas...maybe, but she being the first could only do so much... instead she searched the facility frantically for the drugs, reading random minds and using remote site to find anything about door 28

The drugs were being carried by the commandos. One of them picked out of his belt a large drug-gun, and touched it to the body. At that moment, the optical camo deactivated, revealing a well-built body, lying naked on the ground.

The guard hit the trigger when it was over the side of Rai-3's neck, and fired off the drug. It emptied quickly into the mans system. The result was instant.

They stood back as the body spasmed across the rooftop for a minute, beofer calming down.

"We'll take it from here."

They knew that she had been in their minds: the images that had flashed up unexpectedly were obvious proof. They would have to try something else.

=====

The doctor was coming up to check over Rai-3 quickly, before tacking him down for a thorough mental examination. He was wearing a hat as well. This one was lined with thick lead. What would happen in this case?

(RAI WAKE UP!!!) she screamed into his mind...

(time for vengence is now!!!)


DR. Dirkavich got off the helicopter and went up to the main doctor,

"are you guys just examining her powers? So far we havent been able to find a material to block her psychic energy, many of my research team believe that psychic energy isn't effected by physical barriers but by range, all information on her is kept at least 50 miles from her holding cell, but if you want to keep it up go right ahead." he laughed as the Mokan commandos kept their guns up, just in case....

Rai-3 slowly regained conciousness. He suddenly jerked as he saw himself. His brain quickly activated the camoflauge, and he disappeared.

He then lept, unaware of the chaos he caused below onto a higher part of the roof.

the five mokan commandos fired unto the super soldiers with ther AP rounds, each trained to go for kill shots, and each under control of the project....

DR. Dirkavich fell to the ground, unconscious while the helicopter pilots died instaintly...

The project was no where to be found...

The bullets hit the soldiers body armour, nearly knocking them over. They were quick to return fire, letting off two volleys of dum-dums into the men.

They quickly radioed the facility, and the entire ministry lcoked-own.

====

Rai 3 thought
(That was a good one: now what?)

(do you want to kill them or escape, i want to be free, but since i owe my freedom to you then i will help you do whatever you need)

Dr. Dirkavich was barely aware, however once he realized he was covered in blood he quickly woke up, he ran to the door,


"Please PLEASE LET ME INNN!!!! help me she'll kill me!!! LET ME IN!!!"

Rai 3 saw the scientist hammer in vain at the locked door, and lept down onto him. He pciked him up bodily, and threw him down onto the alley below, making a hideous crunch.


He then started moving towards the 5 commandos, who were looking around for him.

-----

The men saw the man throw himself seemingly off the building, and were now standing in a circle, pointing outwards. Suddenly, one of them saw some ripples in a small puddle on the rooftop, and raised his rifle to fire.

the bullets slowed down to a crawl, until gravity took over and they fell, while the project couldn't take over their minds she could still throw em around telekenetically...the first was picked up and flung into one of his buddies, while the other had thier guns ripped out of their hands and turned on them...and fired

(That was good. Now how do you seriously think you are gonna move 10000 tons of blast door to get down to just the primary level? This is hopeless, as they have my drugs: what am I going to do?)

(just ask)


she began searching the minds of the people inside the complex, finding someone who could breach the doors, after running over numerous state secrets she decided to just find the guy who was in charge of the drugs...

(you know, even if we did break in now, they would lock it down and probably destroy the drugs before we got to them, how long can you last without them. I could of "talked" Dircavich into helping us out, but you killed him)

Inside the complex, Room 28 had quickly been scheduled for removal.
Inisde, Rai-1 had been put into permanent hibernation, and removed into the corridor. The rest of the equipment, including the small safe containing the drugs, were deeper, if that were possible, in the bowels of the ministry, in the giant incinerator at the base. The items were currently 5 minutes from disposal in the main furnace, burning at over 4000 degrees celcius.

Soon, there would be nothing left. Only cooled gases slowly pressurising in the storage cylinders would be left, as well as the solid mass of unrecognisable waste, that would be seperated and then recycled.

TO: CLASSIFIED LOCATION
FROM: MOKASTANA


we have heard that our project was a failure, and caused some harm in the area, we have a better version but i doubt the higher ups will let me deploy it. Is thier anything you have that can stop them?

the project was searching room 28 again, upon seeing this she realized two things, one that the drugs would probably be gone before they could get to them and two, Rai-2 wasnt here.


(what is Rai-2 exactly?) she asked Rai-3...

meanwhile she mentally played with the locks on the drugs, she hadnt masterd teleportation, but with a small item like drugs, well....theres always a start...

(He is out of the country. I doubt you could find him. He is at least 1000 miles away. As for teleportation... don't try it. You might bring most of the rubbish system on top of you...)

=====

The blast doors groaned as they slid slightly open to admit a squad of 3 commandos. All were weaing EMF vision googles, and all had just been selectivly mind-wiped, and would present a difficulty in being posessed.

Just to make sure, their weapons were all loaded with rounds that would not fire if it were pointed at one of them. That would help sincerly.

=====

The blast doors closed again, before the massive bulkhead rumbled aside. It was a feat of engineering, able to shut amazingly quickly yet open slowly incase of treachery from within.

As soon as it was open, they lept outwards thorugh the door, as the massive concrete bastions slammed back togerther, shaking the entire district.

======

The men saw the girl, and raised their guns. From the undermounted launchers came 40 darts, each tipped with a potent sleeping draught. As they came flying out, each gun let forth a burst of 10 rounds.

the darts slowed and curved around back to the guys who fired them...

(catch)

she floated off...

The darts came flying back and stuck in their armour. That wasn't going to happen.

One of the squad brought up a support-weapon and let rip with 20 rounds a second. See if she could stop that...

=====

Satellite had a lock on the co-ordinates of where teh fighting was happening.

From a silo deep within the forests, a cruise missile flew towards them. It was armed with a single 100lb warhead. It would not cause too much collateral damage, yet would kill all of them in the area.

she lifted the Mokan helicopter to get use as protection from the barage of bullets, rather then stopping the bullets that made it through she "nudged" them to miss... then she flung the helicopter towards the commandos and flew off.

she was free and no one was going to catch her....

The cruise missile hit the roof of the building as the helicopter went flying across, competely destroying the rooftop, the shockwave killiong everyone within 100 metres.

Rai - 3 lay wounded, gasping as he removed a piece of the helicopter from his shattered arm. He was going to die, and the project was sure to have died.

Mokastana Bureau of Secret Actions:


Jason Franshaw sat at his desk in the bunker, no one was in the room, but by no means was he alone.


(we cant find her)

(her mental signal is gone)

(we don't know what happened)

the betas wouldn't shut up. Many of them looked to her as a Mother of some kind, but all also knew she betrayed them for her own freedom.

"is she dead?"

(we do not know) was the only reply...


TO BE CONTINUED....

The base came out of lockdown, and within a few minutes, the wreckage and fire had been removed, replaced by what appeared to be a faulty gas-main.

They had found the body of Rai-3, who had died as they took him down to the medical room.

He had been buried in the forest of Akfegos, in the mass-grave where his wife had been found.

As for Rai-1 and Rai-2... they were now in cold storage...
