Shadows [Closed]

Cargn limped silently through the halls.

During the battle, he had watched as numerous possible fates had presented themselves to him, and he had tried to reach for one in which the crew had been victorious. Yet in this, he had failed.

A bitter look strikes his face. He continues to make his way through the halls, dressings still applied to his wounds on his stomach and where his right arm used to be. Though he had let the medics take a look at the wounds, he hadn't waited to get proper treatment for them yet.

There was something he needed to do.

He comes to an abrupt stop in front of the entrance to the Hub.

"Stacy," he calls curtly.

||Yes?|| Stacy's voice replies after a moment.

"What is the progress of Project Aegis?" he says simply.

[cityship]

There's a slight pause, as if she were genuinely surprised at the question.

||I'm sorry, that information is classif--||

"Authorization code: Eckt-Kaas-Virt-0-2-Nykk, Primary," he snaps, tired of her usual response to such questions.

[cityship]

Now Stacy really does seem shocked.

||How...how do you know that code?||

[daemonomicon.livejournal.com]

"I believe the authority that code grants me prevents you from asking that question, does it not?" Cargn states coldly.

"Besides, I am Project Aegis' Subject-000. So once again, what is the progress of Project Aegis?"

[cityship]

||...Very well,|| Stacy says reluctantly. ||Project Aegis is currently at 3.2 percent completion. At present, fifteen subjects are prepped and ready.||

[daemonomicon.livejournal.com]

"Hmn," he grunts. "And is Subject-732 currently ready?"

[cityship]

||Yes. Subject-732 was among the first subjects prepared, as noted in the project itinerary.||

"Very well," he says, stepping into the Hub finally. "Take me there."

He pauses for a moment, before looking back up.

"Oh, and send my weapons and armor down, too. I shall have him look at those as well."

With that, Stacy sent him off through the Hub, towards a destination none of the other crew yet know of. For now, at least.
