"Eh...this really..." Shizuka stammered, bare robotic ears twitching.

Though her words were interrupted as a much louder sound would go off. A door would fall with it's heavy boom due to its own weight and Shizuka would jerk in her startled state. Her gaze was directed toward the source of the noise and her eyes widened as far as they could go.

"There's a thing there's a thing!!!!" She shouted as she pointed with the gun.

Her gaze being directed to the ceiling and she raised the gun to follow after it.

"WHAT DO WE DO WITH DA THING?!!" Shizuka shrieked as she took a few steps back.

He had said, keep your finger off the trigger. Should she disregard that? Could she even shoot this thing?!!
 
"Open fire!", Mark shouted as he opened up with his Edjia Battle Rifle.

Jack opened up with the U-1 gun pods, and his RKAR-1A raining munitions toward the creature and the area around it, "Sarah fire!"

Sarah had opened up on it with her RKAR-1A as well, "way ahead of you."

Lazarus saw the creature and found an odd appreciation for it, "Oh this mission just got very interesting. This may be useful to me."
 
Hanger

Between the U-1's cannon, and the shells powerful enough to take out a starship, Uso had a pretty high confidence that whatever had just burst through the door wasn't going to survive the initial first few shots.

The Extra light made it a bit easier to see, and it wasn't hard for her super-hearing to pick up on the rest.

"HOW ABOUT YOU COME OUT?!" Uso asked, "GO SLOW AND I'LL KEEP MY GIANT ROBOT FROM BLOWING YOU UP!"
 
Lazarus thought this would be a good chance to play around and sow some confusion, So he did "Boss, it's me Jack. The people who own this station captured me and have done things. That man with you is not me." Lazarus pretended to be beaten while still concealing his features in the shadows of the cargo freight. He leaned heavily on the nearest container as if injured.
 
Hanger
The creature would leap at the group as its body was cut in half its parts skidding across the floor the upper portion continued to screech and holler as it thrashed around unable to come after the group as it did not seem to notice that its lower half was missing but it was slowly learning as it began to regain movement moving a little forward every now and again.
 
Fire?! Shizuka shuddered as she stood there, watching as the strange creature was sliced in half by something. Course the poor bootleg version of a neko couldn't do it. Her shaking hand dropped the gun as Mark continued frying at it and she collasped behind Mark. She couldn't do this!! How could this man be firing at something so creepy and now in a ton of pieces as it crawled it's way towards em?
 
Outside Space Station

From the deep black depths of space appeared all 375 meters of a Broadsword cruiser decelerating to formation with a second. Dull white hulls branded with blue stripes across their length to denote their allegiance to FSCorp.

"FSS Stone Anthem, This is FSS Star Adder, checking in. Jump was successful, we are forming up on your starboard side, copy."

"Rodger Star Adder, this is FSS Stone Anthem here, we see you. How was the trip?"

"Well, I spilled my coffee but no real issues Stone Anthem. Spectre says 'he's taking point' and it sounds like he's going solo. He is scheduled to leave in less than a minute."

"Rodger, patrols report Saber vessels on site... Sooo, you have any idea who this Spectre guy is?"

"I'm not paid to know him, Stone Anthem. He can keep his privacy."


"This is Spectre. I'm in the starboard hangar and requesting permission to takeoff," the even tone of Candon Suites chimed in with heavy distortion."

"This is FSS Star Adder, permission to takeoff is granted Spectre. Happy hunting.


Space Station, Hangar

Within a few minutes a single brand new YV1 Wahoo interceptor was initiating an automated landing under the guidance of its PiCo, carefully lining itself up with the door to enter gently.
 
*BLAM*

First shot, right at Laz’s left leg.

~That could be an evil doppelgänger,~ Uso thought, of course, she had already shot him... ~Then again he could be telling the truth... ~

Her mind was going over the possibilities, but her gut already knew what to do. She was already opening a channel to the rest of the team.

“Evil Dopplegangers, Someone shoot Jack....”

There was a brief moment of worry that the new bloods would fuck this up.

“... try to incapacitate.”
 
Jack stopped shooting at the transmission, "THE FUCK! Uso what shit have you been breathing in!? Evil doppleganger?"

Sarah confused defaulted to following orders and took aim for the back of Jack's leg, "Sorry, but.....oh hell."

Jack heard Sarah and instantly boosted to the left a moment before the bullet struck the floor where his leg previously occupied.

Mark advanced forward rifle ready, the sounds of gunfire was concerning.

Lazarus make sure to fall with the injury, "FUCK! Uso, what the hell. IT'S ME!"
 
Space Station, Hangar

"Hey, what do you know? We get to shoot Jack," Candon stated sarcastically to himself as his fighter entered the hangar and gently touched down, "oh great, now there's two Jacks. At least I know one of them is a clone." He clearly remembered shooting Alex only to discover it was a clone he had shot and that he had been pointing a gun at the real Alex. He still felt kind of bad about that, but at the same time he points guns at lots of people.

The diamond canopy tipped forward Candon's right armor clad gauntlet reached out of the cockpit toward the running Jack and projected a narrow beam of gravitons at the man, sweeping it horizontally across his direction to ensure a hit while ensuring the output would only stun him.

While floating out of the cockpit with his gravity drives he caught sight of the thing that was blown in half yet still alive and crawling towards the nearest living person. He quickly reached out with his other arm and cast a gravity field over the monster to hold it to the floor.

With a voice free of distortion, he couldn't help but ask, "what in space is going on here?!"
 
"EVIL DOPPELGANGERS!" Uso shouted on the all hands channel, as if that explained everything that was going on. Getting no confirmation that other Jack had been shot she had to assume he was running around and causing trouble. Worse yet he was still hooked up to the U1...

... Hopefully Vier would shut it off before it hurt anyone who didn't need hurting.

".... hiiii Cannndon...."

The fur on the back of her neck was sticking up,

"Look, I called dibs on the station but I'm totally willing to share. Plus I just maybe shot my pilot so I'mma need a ride soon."

Uso kept one ear pointed towards Laz, as she started looking around the hanger to get a feel for what was in the area.
 
While initially coming to take the damaged station home Candon could see his colleague's desire to keep the station as a solution to the lack of work his FMS engineers were experiencing.

"The Interstellar Law of Dibs is sacred, Uso. It's all yours," he stated, then offered what he knew she needed help with, "I'll help you bring it home if you let us fix it."
 
Hanger
The monster would continue to attempt to get at the group despite its bindings.
While the group was converesing the Intercom speakers would come on and a man's voice would come on over them. "Hello? You there in hanger 4, are you here to help? If you are there should be some communicators by the door on the right side. We can converse through that and I can help you avoid those things but you must hurry. We don't have much time."
 
Hanger

"We kinda got our own thing going on right now. What's the rush?!" Uso yelled back.
 
Hanger
"You need to move now this whole station is crawling with those things and more of them just seem to appear as time goes on. We can help each other out but we can't do that if either of us is dead."
 
Hanger

“OK, someone get those communicators and find out where that guy is.

We’re also going to need some real guns... Company Man, you got anything bigger than a pistol I can use? We will also need some more guys to hold the hanger.


Plus, you know, we could just start blowing holes in the station to get where we need to go.”
 
Hanger
"There is an armory. You can reach it by heading into the maintenance shaft. Take the second right then head straight till the 3rd vent. It should be there. Taking that route is longer but you are less likely to run into those things."
 
Hangar

Candon gravitationally crushed the half monster as he began stepping toward Uso. Dragging the Squad Support Gauss Rifle over his head he grabbed the charging handle and gave it a pull.
"Think you can handle it?" He teased as he passed it off to Uso, "This is Compensator. He's a jumpy bastard so I put a GPD under the barrel to hold it down… or shoot a graviton wave. Your pick."

Calling back to his ships in the distance he passed orders, "Star Adder, this is Spectre. Send the boarding party to my location. We have some kind of biological, eh, things… mean ones."

"Spectre, this is Star Adder. We are sending the boarding party now. Five minutes out. Good day to you."



Space, FSS Star Adder

From the port hanger of the Broadsword cruiser Star Adder flew an ACV-02 gunship escorted by a pair of U-1 variable fighters.
 
Jack had been through against a nearby cargo container and had just started to get up, "What the fuck. IT'S ME! What the hell has gotten into you Uso, and Candon what was that you hit me with?"

Lazarus drug himself forward, "NO! Don't don't listen to him. It's a trap. PsychoPomp sent him as a spy, he's here to kill you and cover up whatever is happening here. I'm Jack, and he's the imposter. Shoot him before he goes for someone. Sarah I'm your brother, it's me, please shoot him!"

Sarah could only sit there looking between them, her mind reeling at what was happening, "I, I.....don't know what to do."

Mark approached the neko and man, "Identify yourselves, Trooper Tazar, RRF with the Union. State your purpose here."
 
Shizuka would honestly just force herself up and ran after Mark, sticking as close to him as she could. HOnestly, the fake Neko didn't think she could do this. Armed with a weapon she knew not how to properly weild; let alone having the balls to really use it. And a frying pan. If she had to get that close to those creatures well, she'd probably end up dead.

Peaking out from behind Mark, she was rather startled by the scene before her. A man was shot and yelling about imposters and well, oh boy. The false neko couldn't handle this.

"Is...is now really the time for whatever is going on here? We need to go..." Shizuka tried to speak up, course the others would easily spy the odd looking being.
