An ominous pounding filled the halls of the palace as someone or something made it's presence known at the gate. Contagion, barely having time to throw on his cloak scampered to the door. "Yes yes what is it?!" He let his telepathic tones boom with impatience as he snaked his claws around the handle of the main door. His eyes widened however, as he realized, that it was hot to the touch. "What?!" He hissed, as he took a few steps back. He looked down to his palm as his scorch marks started to bubble and regenerate. His attention was returned however, to the pounding on the door. His void-like eyes narrowed to slits as large cracks started crisscrossing along the door. The chancellor stumbled back, hitting the wall as he looked to the burning light pouring through the damaged door. One crash... ....Two crashes... ...Three. The heavy doors splintered as a few people barged into the throne room. Some were familiar. The others were hazy. The Amalgam let out a sharp inhale as one of them (the leader he presumed) raised his hand toward him. "You can't do this!" Contagion let out a telepathic screech as his tendril ripped from his back and whipped forward in an attempt to impale the figure. He was too late. The figure unleashed an inferno of ki and Contagion was eradicated, leaving only a multi tonal scream behind as his imperfect body was ripped asunder. ...
Contagion's eyes shot open as the vision of his own damnation started to unravel. He stood up and let out a furious scream.
Contagion burst into the warship, his arms filled with various artifacts and scrolls he had 'obtained' in his time on Kanassa. He rushed through the hallways, his body moved so quickly and erratically that rather than taking actual steps his feet were physically sticking to the chrome flooring while melting into small puddles. It was almost as if he were skating with his own flesh rather than trudging through the ship. His mind was racing at a million miles a minute. Maintaining his solid form seemed almost secondary to him at the time. "Computer!" He snarled, his chest maw foaming at the bits as ripped aside to look at the holographic screen in his room. "Contact Dr. Breech, Zyajin, and any other S.C.A.R member and tell them to meet me in the council chambers of the ship. Next, set up a line with Rebecca E. Dewitt on Earth. I want her patched through by the time I get into the council chambers." He snapped, stalking out of the room before he could even get a confirmation. "Do they truly believe that they can kill me?! That they can undo all of our work?! THE AUDACITY IS ASTOUNDING!" He leaned back, his mandibles gnashing against each other as he arched his back and let out a strange mix of a shudder, hiss, and snarl. "WE WON'T DIE THIS DAY! I PROMISE THAT!" He concluded, punching the nearest wall with all his might. He pulled his hand free of the dented metal and walked into the council chambers. He didn't even bother looking to the mangled limb that was busily regenerating as he entered the room and took his seat.

"..." Contagion's eyes narrowed as he saw a message from Dr. Breech pop up on the hologram in the center of the council room. With a frustrated hiss Contagion's entire head would rattle as as his fists clenched tightly shut. "Damn...Damn...DAMN!" He roared as he stood up and knocked over his chair. He lurched his body forward and whipped his large clawed hand against the keyboard opening up a direct line to his 'Master of War' " Zyajin if you are not on the ship I swear to the Kai's above that I am leaving you to die on this rock!" His raspy voice boomed around him like a menacing echo. "This is your only warning." He spat as he ripped away from the console and made his way to the hallway. With a guttural snap, the amorphous creature would shift to his quadruped hybrid form of some sort of insect-like canine. His new legs allowed him to skitter and snake his way from the council chambers to the control room while he also ducked and weaved between the mindless drones and cycloids that had begun filing unto the warship. It wouldn't be much longer till he made it to the head of the ship so he could get off the god forsaken rock. As he moved on and on only one thought pounded through his skull like a drum. Such a waste. |

Zyajin was stepping out of the artificial gravity chamber that he had installed into the warship when his hueless counterpart contacted him, rather angrily it would appear. He tapped on the wall panel that served as the communications node next to the training room. "What's the issue Contagion? I've been on the vessel this entire time in the gravity chamber training. Have you been attempting to make contact this entire time?" the green shouldered Bio-Android inquired, making a mental note to install a communications node inside the artificial gravity chamber in order to avoid a situation like this again in the future.
He began to make his way to the control deck in order to rendezvous with his gelatinous shapeshifting counterpart. "I presume that there's been some sort of acceleration in our issues with this world?" asked Zyajin of Contagion once he'd made it to the bridge and encountered his fellow Bio-Android. "I have been detecting several high level energy signatures recently... I can only assume that they have something to do with our current dilemma?" he inquired and mused.

Contagion didn't respond, merely pressing a few more buttons on the console to initiate the launch sequence. As Zyajin's words rattled in his mind he felt himself growing more and more annoyed at the prospect that was laid out before them. The failure and shame of retreating washed over him like an icy breeze as the mighty Warship began it's ascent into the clouds above. Contagion stared ahead for a few moments before pressing one final button on the holo console. With a resounding 'HISS' that could be heard through the impossibly thick glass windows: the bridge that Zyajin and Contagion were on would detach and separate from the main ship. As the two pieces split apart: It would be revealed that the bridge itself was actually a smaller ship set to fly off in the opposite direction of the main vessel! In the past, it had been agreed that should S.C.A.R's operation be compromised, the council would leave any 'unnecessary' personnel behind to be 'reclaimed' later. Contagion knew that Breech would find the warship without problems. As soon as they managed to leave Konats' atmosphere Contagion would let out a shaky wheeze. His body finally seemed to relax since the vision. The amalgam set the controls to 'autopilot' before turning in in his chair to face Zyajin. His glowing pupils narrowed to slits as he glared down at the 'Master of War' while he tapped his claws on the armrest of his seat. His body let out a sharp hiss while his two chest mandibles gnashed against each other in frustration creating a high pitched ringing sound. "Your assumptionsssss?" He hissed leaning forward into his seat as he clenched his claws into the leather. "Of course they are correct! It's plainly obvious! What I don't understand is how you, our 'Master of War' managed to sleep in the gravity chamber as our enemies set up shop right at our doorstep!" He barked and mockingly spat the bio android's title while his claws tore into the leather of the seat. "Breeeech and I BOTH did our duties to try and remove the threat diplomatically. YOU meanwhile, OUR BATTLEMASTER remained blissfully unaware of their presence till now! You didn't even attempt to meet them in battle! Now we have lost Doctor Breech AND our stronghold! Konats was ripped right out of our hands and you had no IDEA of who we were facing!" He screamed out while his tendrils exploded outward from his back and thrashed every which way. He panted, his tendrils whipping about before he finally slumped into his seat. "You may be stronger than this imperfect form of mine..." Contagion spoke softly as he looked at his own hand for a moment. "...But you have been surpassed by Breech, Noxa, AND Rebecca." He plainly spoke as he stood up from his chair and walked toward the door. "Now, with all of them gone..." He turned back to face Zyajin, head on.
"S.C.A.R has become a liability." |

Zyajin merely sighed and shook his head as Contagion railed and verbally spat on him. "And what precisely did you expect me to do? I measured their base powers at being beyond what I could achieve with my own transformed state, so there would have been no point in my trying to combat them unless I desired to be terminated." he logically explained for his more fluid counterpart. "And I had been aware of them, I just did not see what point there was in confronting them as I was, hence my "sleeping" in the gravity chamber as you so put it." the green-shouldered Bio-Android further explained.
"And I would care to point out that it was you and Doctor Breech who came up with and assigned these titles of ours. I merely as the phrase goes, rolled with it." Zyajin stated with a shrug of his shoulders, his tail flicking around behind him. When Contagion mentioned the others surpassing him, the Bio-Android became noticeably irritated. "I am well aware of that development, and... I have no idea of what is going on in that regard." he said, looking at his own body. "I should be progressing much more rapidly than I have been, and yet... there must be some flaw in the genetic code sequence that is hindering my development." Zyajin mused before raising an eyebrow at Contagion's last statement.
"And what do you propose to do hmm? It's just you and me here on this ship, and as you've stated yourself I am stronger than you are." he inquired, readying himself for combat if that's what it was going to come down to. He would have to keep it to close quarters combat only though in this environment, since he didn't have the luxury of Arcosian DNA in his profile he wouldn't be able to survive the vacuum of space if the hull were to be breached.

"Don't be absurd. I wouldn't challenge you. You've proven to be somewhat loyal in our time together Zyajin." He simply said as he turned his back once more. "I am not so willing to turn a blind eye to the kindness of those I consider an ally." He continued, though his even tone left it unknown if he was merely trying to appease Zyajin or if he was being honest. Yet, his non aggressive stance made it clear he had no intentions of fighting.
"After all: if I intended for you to die I would have left you on that rock; Orrrrr better yet I would have tossed you to the wolves so Breech could continue living." He snarled, making it clear where he saw Zyajin on the totem pole of their alliance with one curt comment. Still, he didn't make any aggressive movement he merely stood still with a casual arrogant air. In fact, he crossed his arms, almost as if the very conversation was boring him in some manner.
"...Bringing you with me during my escape is my final kindness to you Zyajin." He looked back slightly, glaring at the other bio android through the corner of his eye. "Once we get to Earth we will go our separate ways. If Breech doesn't come back: I will leave the base in the Gizard Wastes to you. Use it as you see fit." He closed his eyes as he bowed his head lightly.
"...Our ties will die with Breech and Konats. I will not mention you, nor should you mention me." He opened the door and looked into the room. He paused however, and clenched his fists as he left one final warning. "If you stand in my way in the future, I will offer you no kindness as a comrade."
"You will be like all the rest."
With that, he'd leave the room. As he left Zyajin behind him, so too would he leave 'S.C.A.R'

Well at least the green-shouldered Bio-Android didn't have to worry about Contagion flushing him out of an airlock any time in the near future. At least not on this particular trip. He did snort a little though when he mentioned Breech continuing to live. "He no doubt has a replacement body already in storage waiting for him to upload himself to it. Consider his battle right now to be an extensive fact finding and recon operation." Zyajin suggested to his fluidic counterpart.
It seemed that Contagion was being serious in his desires though to part ways and start off with a clean slate. It was curious to consider the shapeshifting Bio-Android an enemy force should they encounter one another after they part ways on Earth.
He gave a nod to the departing figure. "Very well. I look forward to that time, if for nothing more than to test our skills against one another as a test of how much progress each of us has made since then." said Zyajin, already wondering how absorbing Contagion would affect him on a biological level, as well as a psychological one. They were both Bio-Androids, and Zyajin had yet to encounter any records of one Bio-Android consuming another, especially not too as genetically different from one another as himself and Contagion.
Zyajin was a solid mass, whereas Contagion was fluidic and constantly shifting. Would it even be possible for one of them to consume the other? One thing was for certain though, the green-shouldered Bio-Android had to reconstitute his metabolic energies before such a time could come to pass. Something that he was certain that Contagion would be seeking to do as well.
The game was afoot, the race was on, as the old phrases would say. The future looked very interesting.
Exiting thread, will take PL with Medium Weights bonus
