[i]Wanted for Mass murder....[/i]
"Shit"
As soon as it had gone up she had fled to her friends. She was reckless, but not stupid. Honestly, she knew it was coming soon. When was the question.
Now she knew.
"Shit!"
She had armed her rifle and put on her armor, waiting on the ramp to her ship. It's weapons were active, and the railgun mounted on the back scanned for targets on it's turreted mount.
"Damn all of you..."
She had never wanted the front lines. To help was what she wanted. The family that took her in had been her saving grace, at first. Her medical skills (rarely used) were gladly received by the crew.
Then with the Hermes, that changed.
Her skill set went from medical and some light engineering to marksmanship and piloting.
"Damn it to hell..."
As her skill set changed, so did she. The girl used to love. She used to be a sweet innocent teen who just wanted to protect her family. In that way, she had broken in a way that even Amoridia couldn't have.
"Come get me you bastards...."
But the rest wasn't important. Her reflection, punctuated by cursing, was interrupted as she stood up. She looked around, priming the ionization chamber in her Rifle, and waited. For friend or foe, only time would tell

<Have I offended you somehow? I’m sorry if I have. I was interested in learning about you.> *She seemed to react to the sound of the warning shot, but not to the projectile itself. (I’m assuming it’s energy based)*
-
Another shot, much closer. "Go or you will be shot!"
-
*Something clicked inside of Alice, as if she may have only now realized the situation. She took a step forward though, her hands still raised.* <I have not come to fight you... Or to be shot for that matter. I have brought no weapons, I am only here to learn. If you are in danger, I am willing to help you. Otherwise, I would only like to talk.>
-
"You have three seconds." "One...."
-
*She shook her head slowly.* <Must I subdue you? I predict that I can reach you before you can disable me.>
-
"Two....."

Edited by Skatch142: 1/22/2018 5:39:39 PM<So be it.> *Alice was surrounded in a blue aura and she suddenly charged Alpha. She was moving far faster than any person could, the speed seemingly coming from some invisible force rather than her legs.* *Unfortunately, she hadn’t made it more than 40 feet when Dalien (who had been scared out of her nearby burrow by the gunfire,) scampered into her path. Before Alice’s foot hit the animal, an orange orb formed around the pitiful creature and it was sent flying past Alpha and into the cargo bay of her ship, screaming the whole way.* *Alice, thrown out of balance by the sudden aardwolf, began to tumble but did not lose momentum. The glow finally disappeared and she came to a stop when her “snout” hit the cargo ramp, crumpling like an aluminum can.*

"Umm...are you okay?" Alpha could hear the soft voice of Silver as the small girl walked up to Alpha, her normal cloak and dress covering her. "You look kinda on edge, Alex."
-
"That's far enough" She said, raising her rifle. "I'm sorry. But you have to go"
-
Silver raised her hands into the air above her head, looking terrified now. "A-Alpha? Why a-are you pointing a gun at me?"
-
"....for your own good." She said calmly. "You don't seem as bad as everyone else here. Leave. Leave me, leave here....while you still can."

Edited by Stitch: 1/22/2018 3:29:07 AM"A-Alpha, you clearly need help. Let me help you. Are you in danger? Is someone after you?" Silver stayed where she was, keeping her hands up.
-
"GO!" She backed out suddenly, discharging her rifle to scare silver off
-
Silver just cowered in fear, trembling and covering her face with her arms. "Please don't kill me!"
-
"GO!" Was the only reply. Another warning shot.
-
"Alpha! I can help! Please! Shoot me and you'll just be losing a friend..." Silver lowered her arms, tears forming in her eyes. "Please...don't push me away..."
-
"I SAID GO!" She fired another round, at her feet to simply blast her backwards with the concussive force of the ground being dispaced
-
Silver fell onto her back, slowly getting up. "Don't do this...you'll have to shoot me before I'm willing to leave you here."
-
Edited by GRUNT OVERLORD: 1/22/2018 3:50:51 AM"....so be it" She said quietly "Better this than a slow death at the hands of the others"
-
"Alpha, you won't kill me...I know you won't...." Tears fell down Silver's face as she sat there. "Don't..."
-
"you have three seconds" "One...." Now or never [spoiler]she will if she has to.[/spoiler]
-
Silver sat with crossed legs, gazing right into Alpha's eyes. "Alpha, think about what you're doing...don't let yourself fall like this."
-
Right through her left arm. Between the arm bones. Charred flesh and blood immediately hit her nose...but the lack of severe pain implied heavy damage
-
The round simply made a flash of blue right before hitting her and vanished instantly. Silver looked absolutely horrified now as she got back up to her feet. "Alpha?!"
