Project - Prometheus Ch. 05

Luminia had also called to some other women that were in the group, relaying the instructions in the use of these new weapons to them. Confident that Pree and Korsa could handle the instruction, Inari excused herself to go and arm up. Trotting back inside, it didn't take long for her to locate and assemble her power armor. Since it was jostled around in their crash, the entire suit was still here, as it was likely mistook for junk when the invading males had plundered their ship.

Inari then took her armor with her as she climbed the ladder and retreated to her quarters. Stripping down out of the rank clothing, she shivered as the cold air hit her nethers, sapping her of any heat she had built up during the run here. Wasting no time, she rummaged around her ravaged cabin and found some intact underwear and tight thermal clothing, which she donned. She picked the thinnest clothing she had, to ensure that she would still have full mobility while she was in her armor.

Once dressed and satisfied that she wasn't going to freeze, she popped into her vacc suit, closing it around herself. The moment it was sealed, Inari then slipped into her armored boots, then her leg plates, working her way up her body, until she was fully armored. With everything locked into place, she activated the power unit in her suit, which started up the suits locomotion systems, allowing her to move virtually unhindered with the added weight of the armor.

She then grabbed her helmet and started out to the ramp leading out of the Darkstrider. As she negotiated her way through the sea of junk that littered the area, the comms console lit up and a message came through.

"Darkstrider, Darkstrider, this is the Perseus, do you read? Perseus calling Darkstrider, you have missed your last check in and we are unaware of your status. Please respond, over," Alexander Tomisic's baritone voice came in over the channel. Breathing a sigh of relief that there were still some things working on the ship, Inari walked over to the console, to answer the call.

I know, I hate cliffhangers too, but as a writer, I find that they can be quite fun to write about! OK, I'll stop my evil gloating right now! Much is going to be happening quite soon, so stay tuned for the battle to come and the resolutions to be had among several characters.

There will be a great deal of changes ahead for the entire crew of the Perseus, some interesting and others.....well, you'll just have to wait and see.
