\n "Is it ju-just me or d-did that thing just...smile at us?" Dan asked in a worried voice.

\n "It's not you Dan." Nate said.

\n "This is not good! That camera was at the lift near the entrance into the tram tunnel." Tommy pointed out.

\n "And so far those are the only ways out that we now about." Vincent added.

\n They all looked up at each other and noticed someone missing. Lliam had headed back and got into the Terra and was powering it up.

\n "Lliam what are you thinking?!" Tina yelled at him.

\n "I'm thinking I'm the only one who can hold that thing off." He yelled back through the speakers of the Terra.

\n "How long do you think you could hold it off?" Tina asked him sarcastically.

\n "How long will it take for the Darwin to beam you up?" Lliam asked.

\n The moment Lliam said that Tina grabbed her comm and called the Darwin using an emergency signal "Echo Team Two what is your emergency?" asked the Darwin's current female communications operator.

\n "We need to be teleported out of here ASAP!" Tina told her.

\n "Sorry ma'am but the transporter is offline...some of the systems in the transporter fried on the last use." She told Tina.

\n "How long will it be till it's back online?" Tina said in a begging tone of voice.

\n "The engineers tell me about thirty minuets, will that do?" She asked.

\n Tina just turned off the comm, leaving the communications operator hanging. She turned to Lliam and said "The Darwin's transporters are offline...and it will take thirty minuets till they might be online."

\n Everyone in the room let out a sigh of frustration and started to lose hope. They were all thinking of a way to get out of this mess and were saying random ideas.

\n "What about the Captains team? Could they help?" Vincent asked.

\n "No they would be in danger as well if they came to help." Nate said.

\n "What about the explosives? Could we rig one to go off instead of all of them?" Dan suggested.

\n "That might work but it would take to long." Tina told him.

\n Lliam got an idea and said "I'll draw the creature down another hallway with the Terra, when the path is clear run towards the lift and take it up to where the others are...then destroy it." then he started to head down the hallway towards the creature when another howl came forth from somewhere in the lab.

\n "But how will you get out Lliam?" Tina asked as he continued down the hall.

\n "If I have to...I'll make an exit." Lliam said uncertainly, then hurried down the hall with the others a safe distance behind him.

\n **************

\n They headed towards the exit and made it past two lab rooms and several halls and corridors without running into the bio-weapon until they were just one room away, that's when Lliam stopped. Right in front of him was the bio-weapon but it was a creature in Lliams eyes...and it looked different in person rather then on the monitor.

\n The armor like hide was actually layered like scales; it had a prehensile tail that was covered by this hide with a razor like blade on the tip of it. It had a slime like substance that covered most of its body, and it was drooling; the drool itself was an acidic substance but didn't seem to powerful. Even its tongue had little spikes on it that served some unknown purpose. On its paws it had five digits similar to a persons hand, only the middle digit was longer and the whole thing was like a blade that could flex.

\n Again this creature smiled right before it attacked Lliam. He managed to avoid the attack and positioned himself near another door that would take him down some unknown hallway. He pulled out the pulse rifle and started firing at the creatures head; which extremely pissed it off. It started growling in a very deep and low base tone before it lunged at him.

\n This was Lliam's chance to draw it away from the others and he used the Terra's boosters and backed up through the door while he continued to fire at it. It took the bait and started to chase after him. When it was far enough down the hall, the rest of the team started to run through the room but not before they took a fleeing glance down the other hallway only to see the creature attack and hit Lliam; throwing him several feet into a wall.

\n They did not stop to help him because if they did, his attempt to save them would be in vain. They all prayed for him as they reached the lift and activated it, taking them to where Team One had gotten off.

\n ************

\n Lliam got up immediately after he landed on the floor. He looked for the pulse rifle but the creature was standing on it. He cursed as it came closer to him; he then started to follow the hall and turned in the direction that might take him to the tram tunnel.

\n The creature followed of course as Lliam headed through the maze like lab. He gained a little distance from the creature then remembered the XS.

\n "How could I forget that!" he said to himself as he pulled it out.

\n It looked frail and weak but when he turned it on a purple light radiated from the plasma energy that encircled it. To test how strong it was he sliced through the sealed bulkhead doors in front of him. The plasma easily cut through it and opened a path for him to take.

\n He went through the opening went about two dozen yards from it then turned around and brought the sword into a ready stance. The creature caught up to him and busted through the bulkhead and did something Lliam did not expect.

\n This hall was actually a storage room and was thirty feet tall allowing cargo containers to be stacked up. The creature smiled at Lliam as it started to push itself into a standing position, then the legs changed in shape and it actually stood on them like a person. The arms looked like they dislocated and changed position to suit the new stance the creature took. It let out what sounded like a sigh then smiled again, then did the one thing that Lliam knew it couldn't do; or so he thought...it spoke.

\n In a rough sounding, deep, muffled like base voice it said "Did you think that would stop me?"

\n Lliam stood there with his jaw hanging, this creature just asked him a question and it didn't stop at that.

\n "Do you think you can kill me?" It asked then let out a bloodcurdling laugh.

\n If his heart wasn't contained in his chest, Lliam though it would bust out and run away from what this creature just did. Lliam felt his arms and legs shaking and could feel the fear creeping up on him.

\n Lliam shook his head to clear his thoughts then went into a defensive stance. While he did this he took notice of his surroundings, he tried to find anything that would be to his advantage but found nothing. One thing did catch his attention though, a sign that read "Tram Tunnel" and pointed to his left.

\n He was about to head down that hall when the creature surprised him again when it said "Planning on using the hole in the tram tunnel to escape?"

\n "How did it know what I was going to do?" Lliam thought when it answered him in his head "I can read your thoughts...and did you think I let you draw me away from your friends? No, I didn't want them...I wanted you."

\n Lliam turned on the Terra's speakers and asked the creature why it wanted him. It smiled again then laughed and said "You don't know anything about yourself do you?" then laughed again.

\n "What do you mean?" Lliam asked as he slowly backed away.

\n "I can sense others who have been altered by genetic modification. That was one part of what my modification was supposed to allow me to do but the drawback from it was that I turned into this." It told him.

\n "So what if you can do that, why are you after me?" Lliam asked.

\n "You and two others who are still alive have been altered in someway. I'm just taking revenge on these bastards who did this to me and killing my brethren." It said and leaped towards Lliam.

\n ***************

\n This bio-weapon or creature thought that Lliam was just another lab rat here in the research facility. It was very pissed at what it had become and was taking revenge on its creators and the others who had been transformed by the genetic research that was performed here.

\n One ability it gained allowed this creature to sense alteration on the genetic level, and it sensed such alterations in Lliams genes. The other two that it was talking about was of course Murazar (AKA Delta) and Rrahkarr; who had similar genes to Lliam.

\n ***************

\n Lliam quickly used the Terra's boosters to push him down the hall towards the tram tunnel. The creature was hot on his heels as he followed the signs direction and ended up at the lift. He then took a sharp turn using the side booster to push him to his left and entered the tunnel.

\n The tunnel was fairly wide and if Lliam had to fight he'd rather do it in here or outside. The creature however had disappeared. Lliam carefully slowed down and turned on the Terra's lights to try and locate the thing.

\n While he carefully made his way down the tunnel; checking behind him and above him as well, he thought about what it said "You and two others who are still alive have been altered in someway..."

\n "What does that mean...I've never been altered in anyway, have I?" Lliam asked himself.

\n Lliam started to become preoccupied with his thoughts when he looked up and saw the hole in the tunnel where they had entered. A smile formed on his muzzle as he increased his speed...the smile changed immediately and he got a worried look on his face when he heard a strange sound from the Terra, which changed into a face of horror, shock and pain.

\n Lliam let out a cry of pain and tried to grab his left shoulder as a sharp pain emanated from it. He looked at the Terra's shoulder and saw a sharp blade like blood covered object sticking out of it. He realized right a way that it was the creature's tail but he only saw what was covered by his blood.

\n In a shaky voice Lliam said "You have t-to be k-kidding me!" before him and the Terra were picked up and thrown across the tunnel only to slam into the wall.

\n With another bloodcurdling laugh the creature drew closer to Lliam. He slowly got up as he heard the foot steps of the creature draw closer, he looked in the direction he was thrown from but the only thing he saw was his blood on the things tail and nothing else; it had somehow turned invisible.

\n The Terra was picked up by the head unit on the mech and the creature reviled itself and laughed again before saying "What a worthless waste of time." then threw Lliam through the trams rail way; destroying the rail and damaging the Terra.

\n Lliam forced himself to get up but the creature picked him up and pinned him against the wall with its right arm. By now Lliam had lost a lot of blood from his wound, and he was not thinking clearly. The creature bowed back and let out a horrifying laugh, Lliam managed to have a clear thought and drew the XS and tried to slice the creature in half...only to have the blade hit the creatures side and just barely mar the hide.

\n Lliam noticed that the plasma that emanated from the blade wasn't surrounding part of the blade because the slime that covered the hide of the creature coated that part of the blade rendering it useless. Lliam couldn't hold onto the XS anymore and dropped it as the creature laughed again.

\n It drew up its left arm then straitened out its hand into something that resembled a spear head. It leveled its hand with the Terra's head which meant it was going to stab its spear like hand through Lliams head.

\n Lliam could hardly keep his eyes open at this point; they wanted to roll into the back of his head. He was breathing in short bursts as it raised its hand and started its attack. The blade tipped middle digit started to race towards Lliams head. Lliam accepted that he was going to die and took in a deep breath of air and closed his eyes and seemed to pass out.

\n However...something in Lliam did not accept death. Lliams red eyes opened wide but they were not entirely red...encircling the iris of his eyes was a hazel colored ring that seemed to glow a little in the dark. Lliam looked around and things seemed to be moving very slowly. He sat and watched for three minuets as the creatures hand flew through the air.

\n Lliams face suddenly became angry looking and he started to growl as everything he saw turned red. He moved his right arm and grabbed the creatures hand in mid air; the Terra was moving just as fast as Lliam was moving...which was pushing well past the Terra's limits.

\n In one fell swoop Lliam caught the creatures hand and snapped it at the wrist; which left barely a forth of it attached to the arm as it dangled. All of this seemed like several long minuets to Lliam but was in fact only three seconds to the creature.

\n It let out a screaming howl as the sound of its wrist snapping echoed off the tunnels walls as it dropped Lliam. Lliam quickly grabbed the XS with his left hand; as he no longer felt any pain from his shoulder wound, and wiped off the slime that was on it and activated it again.

\n Lliam pushed the Terra to its max limits as he rushed behind the creature and with all his strength; which had also been enhanced with his speed, quickly sliced through the creatures prehensile tail; not letting any of slime get the chance to attach to the blade, spilling the creatures oozy blue blood and electing another screaming howl from it.

\n "Damn you!" the creature said in a booming voice as it tried to attack Lliam and the Terra.

\n Lliam just stood there and waited while the creatures arm went flying through the air. He grabbed its arm in the last second and snapped it at the elbow, then tore it off by twisting it in a clockwise motion. Now that the creature had no hands to attack with, it used the spike that was growing out of its left arm and managed to elbow the Terra in the arm; causing the spike to penetrate the mech suit and imbed it self into Lliams right arm.

\n Lliam just stared at the arm then grabbed it with his left hand, put his right leg up and pressed against the creatures torso and tore its left arm out of socket causing more blue blood to fly from the creature as its arm was separated from its body.

\n Lliam then began to laugh manically then with unnatural speed; that pushed past the Terra's limits, tried to slice the creature into pieces. Lliam overexerted the Terra and it started to shut down. Seeing this, the creature made its escape through the hole in the tunnel.

\n Lliam tried to get the Terra to move but had no success. His breathing started to increase and he started to pant. The glowing hazel ring that circled his iris started to fade away and Lliam slumped forward; almost like he fell asleep. Suddenly the pain that had dispersed from his arm came back with a vengeance and Lliam awoke; grunting and whining from the pain.

\n He couldn't recall what had happened only that he was hurt and that the creature was nowhere to be seen. He turned around as he heard explosions from behind him and as part of the tunnel collapsed. He then started picking up voices on his comm but could only make out "Orbital bombardment commencing" and heard a loud whistling noise coming from the hole then felt the tunnel start shaking as bigger explosions where heard.

\n The tunnel started to collapse again and this time he was pinned down by a falling piece of concrete from the ceiling. The rubble from the tunnel completely surrounded him and he couldn't move. He managed to turn on his rescue beacon before he was completely buried then the only thing he saw was the lights from the Terra's HUD screen.

\n He turned off the HUD and other systems that weren't needed to conserve energy and then he was in complete darkness. He couldn't move or see and didn't know how long it would be before someone would start to search for him. He closed his eyes and tried to move his fingers on his left hand, but he felt num from his shoulder down to his hand and couldn't tell if his fingers moved or not. He let out a sigh and passed out shortly after that.

\n *************

\n Back on the Darwin both Echo Teams were teleported back onboard once the transporter was repaired. When they fully materialized they nearly ran into the wall of the transporter and momentarily looked confused.

\n "What the, why are we back on the Darwin?" James said once he saw the engineers.

\n "Team Two put in an emergency request to be pulled out but was disconnected. The communications operator told us to hurry up and get you out of there." One of the engineers told them.

\n "Damn it, send us back now!" Rrahkarr ordered.

\n "Sorry sir but we can't do that." The engineer said.

\n "Why not?!" Tina yelled.

\n "Because there's nothing to send you back to. Once you were beamed up the explosives that were sent down to you were set off, additionally the Darwin just started to bombard the facility form orbit." A female human officer said as she entered the room.

\n "Two of our people are still down there!" Rrahkarr yelled as he stuck his muzzle in her face and grabbed her by the shoulders.

\n "Two? I know of only one other that was with the rest of you and he was transported into the hanger bay." She said with a little fear in her voice from his actions.

\n "What about Lliam?" Tina asked.

\n The female's comm started going off and she quickly answered it, and a couple of minuets later she said to the others "Well we just found your...other teammate. His emergency beacon was on, they just beamed him up."

\n "Lliam?" They all asked.

\n "The albino wolf and he's in such a critical condition that, when they got him out of the mech he had to be teleported strait to the med bay for treatment." She told them.

\n Immediately after that Rrahkarr pushed her out of the way and ran to the turbo lifts and didn't even wait for the others as he headed to the med bay.

\n "Do you know how bad his injures are?" Tina asked as the others headed towards the turbo lifts.

\n "They told me what they saw...he had hole the size of orange in is left shoulder and spike imbedded into his right arm." She informed her.

\n "That's not good. Thank you for telling us...ah"

\n "Sylvia, Major Sylvia Harris." Sylvia told Tina.

\n "M-major?! Ah forgive me ma'am." Tina said and started to salute but Sylvia stopped her.

\n "There's no need for that, and I understand what you and your team must be going through...and I know how Captain Sutarra acts, especially around his friends and teammates." Sylvia told her.

\n "I'm surprised he's acting so calm." Tina said to Sylvia.

\n "What do you mean calm?" Sylvia asked, feeling like Tina was pulling her leg.

\n "Lliam isn't just one of his friends or teammates...he's his brother." Tina told her and rushed to the turbo lifts.

\n ****************

\n Rrahkarr had just got off the turbo lift and started to sprint down the corridors towards the med bay. Before he even got there he could hear screams of pain coming from the med bay and crashing sounds, while he was running he noticed a small trail of blood droplets heading towards the med bay.

\n When Rrahkarr arrived in the med bay he heard yelling from one of the OR's and made his way in only to see a male nurse flying into some medical equipment; thrown from the pile of nurses and doctors trying to restrain a patient. There was blood on the floor and blood was dripping from a table that all the medical staff was at. The nurse got up and ran back to where the others were before another one got thrown.

\n "Sedate him NOW!" One of the Doctors yelled over the screams and yelling.

\n "Any more and will overdose him!" One of the nurses yelled.

\n "Does it look like he's anywhere near sedated? Dose him again!" The doctor said.

\n Rrahkarr moved around the pile of people to get a better look at who it was they were trying to sedate and that when a white furred hand grabbed one of the Doctors this time and threw him. Lliam was fighting them and the hazel ring was back around his irises. Rrahkarr leaped into action and helped pin his brother down so that the doctors and nurses could sedate him.

\n But when Lliam saw Rrahkarr, his actions changed and he calmed down immediately; even the hazel ring disappeared after seeing Rrahkarr. This baffled the medical staff but they took the opportunity to sedate him again...and this time Lliam slipped into sleep.

\n When Lliam was out Rrahkarr was able to actually see how bad his brothers injures were, and was shocked to see how much blood he had lost; let alone how many blood packs had already been used. The doctors set out right away cleaning Lliams shoulder and some of the nurses urged Rrahkarr to leave the OR and wait.

\n Knowing he had to obey he left the OR and waited in the main room of the med bay. The others; except Chris for some reason, had just arrived when Rrahkarr exited the OR and ran up to him and started asking questions.

\n "Is Lliam in there?" Dan asked, panting a little.

\n "Yeah...don't go in, he's in bad shape." Rrahkarr answered.

\n "Is that blood on your hands and arms?" James asked as panted.

\n "Huh" Rrahkarr said and looked down at his arms and saw what James meant. "Yeah...I guess. It's Lliams" he answered.

\n After Rrahkarr said that some of the others went over to the observation window for that OR and saw how bad Lliam was. Most of his snow white fur was stained red from his blood, and some was stained blue from some unknown substance. The doctors had just finished cleaning the shoulder wound and were starting to close it when Doctor Morris walked into the OR to help them.

\n Sara quickly helped close the wound on Lliams chest and back, then started on the spike that was still embedded in Lliams arm. She discovered that the surface of the spike was not smooth but had ragged little teeth pointing at the base of the spike. They had to cut part of Lliams arm open in order to remove the spike without causing further harm to him.

\n It took a total of six hours...even with today's medical technology to finish the operation. When they were finished Sara came out of the OR to let everyone know how it went.

\n "Well the operation was a...success; although I want you to keep him away from anything dealing with physical work ok Rrahkarr." Sara said to him.

\n "Of course. Is there anything else?" Rrahkarr asked.

\n Sara looked at the others who were eager to hear what she had to say but she stepped up to Rrahkarr and whispered "There is, but I'm not going to say it here." into his ear.

\n He was about to ask why but she gave him a look he knew that meant she was serious, so he let it go and nodded.

\n **************

\n Chris arrived with Delta shortly after Lliam was moved into a recovery room. Tina, Dan and Nate went over to Chris and told him what happened when they got there while Delta walked towards Lliams recovery room where Rrahkarr and Sara where.

\n "You found what?" Delta heard Rrahkarr ask and stopped at the door to listen.

\n "When we tested Lliams blood for any bacteria or diseases, it found a genetic abnormality. Something in his genes seems to have been activated." Sara told him.

\n "What do you mean...they way you're saying it is like he's had the abnormality for a while now?" Rrahkarr said.

\n "That's what I'm saying...he has, since birth. But the machine can detect what kind of abnormality it is...and it's not a mutation but..." Sara was saying as Delta decided to walk in.

\n "It's genetic manipulation, right Doctor?" Delta said.

\n "Ah...yes, who are you sir?" Sara asked while on guard.

\n "This is Freelancer Delta...he's a friend of the family." Rrahkarr said but Delta shook his head.

\n "No...I'm more of a preventor." Delta told them.

\n "Huh? A preventor, a preventor of what?" Rrahkarr asked.

\n "Another massacre...like what happened onboard the C.S.F. Zorn a hundred years back."

\n "What are you talking about Murazar?" Rrahkarr said in a stern voice.

\n "You two are the descendents of Tro'nen Wilson, my closest friend. He's the one who destroyed the Zorn, and only because of what a certain organization did to him...they tried to make him like me and in the process he went insane, only years later." Murazar said in his eerie calm voice.

\n Both Rrahkarr and Sara's jaws dropped. Sara was stunned and Rrahkarr looked like he was thinking of something then asked "But...where in my blood line am I attached to Tro'nen?"

\n "Your mother." Murazar said then continued "She was a direct descendant of Tro'nen."

\n "But her last name was...McBride, how was she..."

\n "That name was a fake...although no one in the family knew that name was a fake at the time. I did however. She was the first daughter born from the Wilson bloodline in nearly seventy years of sons. When she married the name changed that's why your last names are Sutarra instead of the fake McBride name." Murazar explained.

\n "So why was the name faked?" Sara asked.

\n "I asked Tro'nens mate Nera to legally change it to protect what was left of her family after I made a promise at Tro'nens grave." Murazar explained.

\n "What was the promise?" Sara asked.

\n "To protect his family and to end the life of anyone who inherited the genes from him as well as get revenge on whoever did this to him...if I can find them." Murazar said to their shock.

\n "So what are you going to do?" Rrahkarr said in a heated voice.

\n "I should kill Lliam...but I won't. I'll leave that task to you when the time comes."

\n "And what makes you think it will?!" Rrahkarr yelled.

\n "I hope it doesn't but only time will prove that I'm right, I cant deny the gift of foresight or hindsight in this situation and there's nothing I can do. I know what happened and what will happen to Lliam in time." Murazar said and started to leave but stopped and turned to face Rrahkarr one last time then turned and started walking out of the room.

\n "If you look Lliam in the eyes and he has a hazel ring around his iris it means he's close to fully awakening the engineered genes in his DNA...if that ring turns gold you must kill him before his iris turns completely gold, because then it won't be the Lliam you know but a crazed animal that only wants to destroy and kill." Murazar said as he looked down "Just like what happened to Tro'nen." He said as he disappeared from sight.

\n Several long minuets after that Rrahkarr managed to settle down a little and let out a sigh of frustration. Sara went and sat next to him and he put his arm over her shoulders. A moment later Admiral Keeton walked in to check and see how they were doing.


\n Three days passed by as Lliam slept in the recovery room; besides some nurses who came to clean the blood out of Lliams fur everyone on the team came and visited him, Sara and Rrahkarr. They did not tell them about what Delta told them, they decided to keep it a secret...even from the Admiral. Tina was the last one from the team to visit them that day. She made small talk with Rrahkarr and Sara until about 1700 hours (5 pm) when she broke down.

\n "I'm sorry Captain...I let Lliam go and fight that thing alone." Tina said as she started to cry "It's my fault he's in this condition. We could have done something else." She added in between sobs.

\n Rrahkarr let out a sigh and walked over to her and put his hands gently onto her shoulders and told her "It's ok...it's not your fault. He did it of his own free will...to protect his friends."

\n "That's something you do sir." Tina said to him.

\n "That is a trait that my family has. I remember my father doing the same thing for his friends when I was little even before Lliam was born. I have that trait and so does he." Rrahkarr explained to her.

\n "Don't worry Tina...Lliam will be fine, you'll see." Sara said to her from across the room.

\n "It's been three days since his surgery and he still hasn't woken up!" Tina said.

\n Rrahkarr tightened his grip on her shoulders a little and she looked up into his eyes as he told her "Lliam will wake up soon and be back on his feet in no time Tina. So please stop this crying and just give him a little time."

\n Tina stopped crying after he said that but tears kept rolling down her cheek fur. She nodded to him as she got up; wiping her tears away, she started to leave when a human female officer walked in.

\n Tina looked up to her face and recognized her immediately and was going to salute her but as with the first time Sylvia stopped her.

\n "No need for that here." She told Tina, who nodded at her before leaving.

\n Rrahkarr looked at this woman and tried to remember where he saw her but drew a blank as she stepped forward. She held out her hand to Rrahkarr and he took it in his and shook her hand as she introduced herself to him.

\n "Captain Sutarra, I'm Major Sylvia Harris. We met the other day in the transporter room." She said to him as a look of recognition hit his face as did one of shock.

\n "Major?! I'm sorry about the little incident the other day...I wasn't thinking strait." Rrahkarr told her.

\n "Yes I know. Tina told me about your brother and why you were acting that way." She said and smiled at him.

\n "Ah ok then...is there any official business to why you're here?" Rrahkarr asked.

\n "No and yes, yes because it seems that I'll be joining your team...for a brief amount of time. And no I won't be taking command, just observing. The other part was to see how young Lliam here was faring." She said to him.

\n Major Sylvia T. Harris is a human female at the height of five feet ten inch's tall, with shoulder length blood red hair and blue eyes. She's thirty one years old with a round face and is actually Admiral Keeton's niece.

\n "You said your name was Sylvia Harris right?" Sara asked.

\n "Yes why do you ask?" Sylvia asked with a smile.

\n "You're the Admiral niece aren't you?" Sara said with a smile.

\n "Yes I am. Is that a problem?"

\n "No we've met before...back at the academy remember?" Sara asked.

\n Sylvia had to take a minuet to remember the academy but when she did she squealed with joy as did Sara.

\n "Sara Morris is that really you!" Sylvia said as she ran into Sara and hugged her.

\n "Long time no see." Sara said and hugged her back as they started rambling on about the old days back at the academy.

\n Rrahkarr started getting a headache with all the girl talk when a familiar voice, voiced his opinion on their talk.

\n "Can I be taken to another room are something?" Lliam asked in a shaky voice.

\n "Lliam you're up!" Rrahkarr said as the girls stopped talking.

\n "Yeah...but I feel like I had a truck on top of me...and all this talking isn't helping much." Lliam joked and laughed a little.

\n "Can you move?" Rrahkarr asked.

\n "Yeah" Lliam said and he sat up and even got off the bed and stretched "but I'm tired." He added.

\n "Hell here." Rrahkarr said as he went and grabbed a wheelchair "Hop on and I'll take you to your cabin."

\n "I think not." Sara said to Lliams dismay "He needs his rest and he doesn't need to be moving around."

\n "And he doesn't need to be kept awake with two grown adults acting like they are little girls again. That and he is going to get rest and he's not moving. I'll be taking him to his room how's that." Rrahkarr said to her.

\n She sighed but nodded as Lliam was already in the wheelchair. Rrahkarr wheeled him out and took him to his room...only a few cabins away from the med lab, but at least he would be in the privacy of his own room.

\n **************

\n "Thanks bro, I know I would not be able to lay there and listen to that." Lliam said as he got into his bed and laid back.

\n Rrahkarr laughed and said "I'm glad you picked that moment to get up. I can't stand it when women start acting like that...but I've been getting use to it, but still." as he took a seat.

\n "Yeah I understand." Lliam said.

\n "Do you...do you remember anything that happened once you attacked that bio-weapon?" Rrahkarr asked.

\n Lliam looked away for a moment as he thought about what happened. He let out a sigh and said "I remember drawing it away from everyone, and we ended up in some warehouse where it started talking to me."

\n "It could talk?! What did it say?" Rrahkarr asked, surprised.

\n "It didn't say much." Lliam lied.

\n "But it could talk huh?"

\n "Much more then that, it was also telepathic, and it could turn invisible. I thought I lost him in the tram tunnel but that when I got this." Lliam said as he put his hand over his shoulder and continued "It had me pinned...and I knew I was going to die. I accepted death then I blacked out."

\n "So after that you don't remember anything?" Rrahkarr asked as Lliam shook his head.

\n "I awoke later and I had a spike of some kind in my arm, a major headache, and the creature was gone. I remember turning on the rescue beacon after some explosions and the tunnel collapsing but then I passed out." Lliam finished.

\n "That so hmm...what do you feel like?" Rrahkarr said as he got up and walked over to the mini replicator.

\n "I feel like having a double cheese burger with bacon and french-fries." Lliam said with a smile.

\n "That's not what I meant but ok." Rrahkarr said as he laughed and entered what Lliam wanted.

\n "I feel different." Lliam said after Rrahkarr handed him the plate with burger and french-fries.

\n "What do you mean by...different?" He asked as he ordered what he wanted.

\n "I don't know how to explain I just feel...strange. Kinda like I've changed in someway...I don't know." Lliam said as he thought about what the creature had said to him.

\n "Well don't worry about it...when your better you're going in for a full physical just to be sure." Rrahkarr said, hiding his real intentions.

\n "I guess." Lliam said as he took a bite out of the burger.

\n Rrahkarr grabbed what he ordered and sat back down in the chair and started eating along with Lliam. But what Murazar had said to him stayed in the back of his mind...and he hopped that it wouldn't come true.
