Kneel before your god

Shiva spoke through the comms (not the omnicomms) directly into the minds of the crew.

«I am Shiva. I am the destroyer of all that you know and the creator of a grand new empire. For months you thought of me as my host, Charles Kawalsky, but now you shall see me in all my glory. I have positioned bombs throughout this vessel, including the pod caverns. I need but press the trigger and they will explode. I also have one hostage of my own, Sheryl. You will not be able to stop me. I am fully equipped with a power dampener, and a forcefield. I am untouchable. You have one hour to surrender yourselves to me and begin your new lives as my slaves.»

His eyes flashed gold and he held his hostage firmly. He did not wish to wait, but if he tired of this he would amend his demands. For now he stayed in one of the areas in the City hidden from Stacy’s view, in the middle of a pile of rubble, with not a landmark in sight.

Still, he knew they would come.

Lowe winced hearing the crashing sounds and the strings of cursing. Yep, someone else is angry.

[Things keep getting better...] 8 chirped.

"Easy, there..." Lowe said, having his AI friend stand down as he went towards Trudy. "Sounds like we're on the same wavelength. S#!t, how long had this been happening?"

"I don't even know, but man, he's one of us." Lowe would understand - he was one of their mechanics, and if Trudy recalled correctly, he'd worked on all of their ships at least once.

She took a deep breath, fists clenching as she tried to calm herself down.

"I know... and that makes things so much harder." Lowe said, running a hand through his hair. "We're not done yet, though - that thing doesn't know who he's dealing with."

A grim look formed on his face, laying a hand on Trudy's shoulder. "We've made it through worse - we can handle this. Right?"

Trudy grinned at that - the kind of grin that the recruits had seen in Basic and had learned to hate very quickly. "Yeah, you're right. He has no idea who he's dealing with."

She clapped him on the back and began gathering her scattered tools. "Thanks, man."
