“You know I'm still mad at you right?” i hear Sigma say to me.

“Girl. We had this quarrel at least five times!” i say back at Sigma.

“Then let’s start the sixt one, you still did not give me your intentions and details, of why you left me for the last second on that god forsaken planet!” Sigma growls at me.

“You want me to take you off my armor and yank you back into the hell hole that is this planet bellow?” i growl back.

*op: ..... Again? Just give her the details or her narrow minded logic nodes will not work properly!*

“Fighto! Go Go Omega!” Lemi cheer me from my shoulder.

“... You want to yank me off now? AND throw me back from outer space to this now volcanic hell hole of a planet! You dare!?” Sigma gives me sound wave attack.

“If you scream on my Earphone system again I'll... FOR GODS SAKE THROW YOU OFF THIS VIKING BACK INTO THE PLANET!” My Growl so deep that the heavy tritanium plating vibrates.

With that Sigma finally calms down.

“Looks like I've gone a little too far.” I hear Sigma say in a more calm voice.

She knows how to get inside my left over skin as she did when i changed my mind from rescuing her first to getting the Viking working.

I Take a deep breath, my mask unlocks, and the red smoke i release comes out with a deep growl that can frighten a T-Rex into a cardiac attack.

“Okay. Fine. You want a detailed recount of the happenings until we got here in this orbit beside this damaged relay. I'll give you one.” i growl again, my sharp teeth visible along with my not so extinguished anger.

“After we got in contact with each other and got our mutual help contact i discovered by the coordinates that i was still outside the center zone of the city, after i started running to your coordinates i discovered that your 2 month max was a hoax, we had at most 15 days, why? The air was stalling so much that even if i had wings i could not fly.”

“With the air stalling like this and the damaged Terraforming station not doing much i had to deviate from the course into shaded areas where i was met with onslaught of infected, some as strong as the Juggernaut i fought, but because of that i was able to get my armor to full capacity and make some clothes to Lemi.”

“After days of running and scavenging for water to replenish my reserves you sent me that optional coordinate that led me to a frikin gunslinger infected armed to the teeth with kinetic shielding, that means i was useless, if not for Lemi taking it by surprise i would not get us off this planet.”

“After getting the Psionic module and getting my psionic capability back, doing things did not waste that much time anymore so i advanced faster into your direction, but i always had to pass the shaded areas, that alone was time devouring task if not for ‘Asura’s Wrath’.”

“The moment i got to your coordinates, the terraformer you had was like a candle to the wind, about to blow on my face, and to make things worse, i had less than 7 days, and your place was IN A FRIGGIN LOCKDOWN. With no wind, not enough propulsion, and not enough air to even run, i had to change my plans, so i decided that i need the Viking if i want to get you out of there as it have SPACE WORTY engines unlike me at the time.”

“You not liking what i did started to make things HARDER for us to scape as you started closing the road blocks again, in my face too... SOO more time wasted passing shaded areas. Getting to the Viking coordinates i saw that it was excellent, but need repairs, a LOT of it, so i started working, but you did not make my life easier, not one bit.”

“Of the rest of the time i had left only two days was left, can’t do much with only that, so i COULD just fly off, but i just ignored my Walker training and piloted the Viking, and ignoring all the WARNIGS entered flight mode forgething my OWN safety to get to you easier.”

“The moment i got a straight access to you i just ran in, we had a beautiful CHAT, i miraculously got ‘Nexus Protocol’ deleted as it was already trying to kill me long ago but i ignored it and TRIED to save you first.”

“Then we had a nice chat where you got sorry because of your actions and helped me ‘Assimilate’ a ‘Gamma Core’ into my brain, with the extra intelligence i was able to get you out, get the last repairs using the rest of your Heavy tritanium casing, and here we are! Happy now?” i ask Sigma.

“You never thought of betraying me?” Sigma asked me.

I just growled in frustration before talking

“When did i ever promise something? When did i ever do something I'm not sure about? I KNEW i was going to die THERE, but i still came in the expedition, ignoring ESPERS that SAW my death THERE, but i still came.” i say, my voice lost all it’s tone, it’s just plain cold now.

*OP: Sigma, i suggest you verify your Logic nodes and redo a simulation of your thoughts.*

“Please do as my system says.” I sigh.

“Sure...” This is the last i hear of Sigma for today as i close my eyes and rest..........

“Omega...” I hear Sigma talk to me again.

“Sigh...” I sigh out loud.

“I just did some verification on my Logic nodes and some where damaged and most was...” Sigma stutters

“Off parameters.” I say

“Yes...” I hear Sigma, the sorry tone was very clear.

“Did you repair it?” I asked back.

“No...” Sigma just give me a sigh.

“Then do it, i have plenty of Nanites, small components like your’s will not dry me off.” I sigh back.

“Okay...” Sigma stops talking.

“Omega! Hungry!” I hear Lemi give me a heads up.

Opening my mask i look as Lemi removes her mask and lower her hyperweave hoodie before kissing me.

When we are done she lean weakly on my shoulder.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

Before i ask her to get her mask and hoodie back in place i hear the system.

*OP: Now that we are more or less secure, can you start part 2 of ‘Mimic Protocol’?*

If I'm not wrong it’s to know Lemi’s reaction at being able to give birth?

*OP: Correct, get her reactions, I'll cross the data into the Protocol and get a more detailed... Start up plan.*

Sure.

“Lemi.” I Call her

“Hum?” Lemi lifts her head from my shoulder to look at me

“What do you think about being able to place eggs again?” i ask her somewhat curious

“Seriously? In the middle of my Logic nodes repairs?” Sigma complain

“Lemi want to have eggs!” Lemi’s happy voice resounds

“Any type of eggs?” i ask back ignoring Sigma

“No! Lemi Wants only Omega’s Eggs!” Her sharp snake eyes focus on me, looking dangerous.

“Sorry Lemi, i did not want to offend you.” I say to her

“Lemi know Omega like Lemi! Lemi happy to have Omega’s eggs!” Lemi’s voice resounds with a happy voice, but the meaning of her words pierce deep.

I can’t help grinning, my sharp teeth showing as my mask unlocks.

“When we have time we can start trying.” My sharp grin becomes bigger.

“Hum!” Lemi’s smile is as big as mine, her face red from ear to ear, but i can feel her body squirming at the thought of our planned event.

*OP: That... Have gone surprisingly good, most alphas hate the thought of being used for breeding, but Lemi’s mindset is completely different even for a alpha. At least she consider you as her mate, partner, etc.*

Ostanovka kumpel, i understand, in other words she only accepted because of our relationship, if it was different and i did not have your advice this conversation would be if i was about to be killed or not, correct?

*OP: Correct. I got all of her brain data too, now i just need to get the rest done before you get the option to start copulating.*

Hey! Be nicer will ya.

“Hey Sigma, how is your repairs going?” i ask Sigma

“Almost done, after that I'll just need to calibrate my Logic nodes and I'll be set.” I get a reply back

“Want some help? I’m considered a Master Engineer, i can work your calibration as you focus on your Logic nodes repair.” I give her a hand

“..... Sure, I'll accept it, i don’t want to be viewed as ingrate. Here’s the schematics of my... All alpha cores, to be exact.” Sigma reply back.

I try to get the in and outs of this blueprint, my new revamped brain helps a lot and in no time i can do whatever i want with this blueprint as if it was me that created it.

I go directly to work at getting her logic nodes calibrated.

Her logic nodes was a mess, so much i did not know what to do, so i just started over.

This took a lot of time as numbers and letters fly up my screen as i make a brand new logic node system for her using all my intelligence and Engineer knowledge.

As new logic nodes are repaired i jump to work on it, and just like that we pass the day.

Waking up the first thing i say was obvious.

“What a mess was your logic nodes, how did you survive this type of damage?”

“No clue, but thanks for helping, now i don’t need to return to a previous backup, that most likely was as damaged as this one.” Sigma reply comes.

‘Beep’, ‘Beep’, ‘Beep’, ‘Beep’

‘Click’

“Here is ISS – Tenacity responding to distress call, please respond.”

“Here’s Omega, Captain of ISS – Raptor One, Fighter class multi role Viking Walker, I'm stranded beside the damaged relay beacon, needing tow to nearby space station for repair and resupply.” My cold voice resounds on the open communication channel and a chorus of scared peeps resounds.

Huh? Peeps?

That’s all i can think before the other side starts a conversation at 440 volts.

“Oh god, i forgot that Avali’s like to talk all at once at 440 volts...” I groan out at the soundwave attack.

“Hahahahaha!” Sigma just bust out in laughter.

Lemi stays silent but help me by massaging my temples with her small hands.

After some time of jumbled mess they call talking they finally focus their attention back to me

“ISS - Raptor One, Please release your information so we can finish our decision.” A female Avali say back

“Rodzher. Alex Silver, Avali Super Soldier, Codename Omega, Avali name Omega White, Survivor from the planet close to my coordinates along with a Super Soldier Lamia called Lemi and Alpha core known as Sigma.”

They make curious chirps at my russian, but they exploded in peeps at ‘Avali Super Soldier’, and when i ended they where talking at 880 volts.

“Hahahahaha!!! Omega, you know how to make a Avali get into talking overdrive! Hahahahaha!” Sigma is almost overheating because of too much laughing.

I just grunt trying to resist the powerful soundwave attack to my even more sensitive ears...

“I’m now regretting not getting some sound cancelling ear plugs...” i sigh

A lot of overdrive talking later they stop.

“Huh?” My voice leaves in surprise at the sudden silence.

Suddenly a Mining ship armed with lasers and grabbers jump in on my location, the name at the side of the ship is almost gone but still readable, ISS – Tenacity.

“ISS - Tenacity to ISS – Raptor One, we can see your ship, can you dock at the cargo or do you need help?” The same female Avali ask me, looks like she’s the leader of the Pack.

“I can dock at the cargo bay with no problem, just need to know if it have gravity so i can dock with no damage to both ships.” i reply back

“Sure thing, Cargo dock evacuated and local gravity disabled, just need to dock for us to be off.”

“Good to be off this hell hole of a planet, starting system.” i say as my Viking energy signature blast out of the roof, as weapons, engines, kinetic shield, deflector armor and much more power up out of passive mode.

This got the Pack inside ISS – Tenacity Peeping in worry, my Viking is clearly more capable than their ship and that got on their nerves a lot.

“ISS - Raptor One out of passive mode, coordinates get, local area map updated, moving in for docking operation.” My cold voice get the Pack a lot less stressed as i announced what I'm going to do.

If i approached saying nothing I'm sure they would flee or shoot my way, or both, so saying what I'm doing and making very clear my movement can lessen their panic to zero, and that’s what I've done.

Flying the Viking is no different from flying a normal aircraft, but with a loooot more G-force, there is extremely low amount of people, independent of the race that can resist it even with upgrades, and the ones that do manage normally drop asleep in seconds just at the first boost.

And that was what i experienced the first time i changed the Viking from Walker mode into Aircraft mode, the extreme G-Forces coupled with twisting heavy metal and maneuver that can make even a veteran aircraft pilot lose consciousness.

You know what happened next.

Yes, i just fell asleep and bonk, back to the ground, and more parts to repair.

That in itself was partly why I'm angry with Sigma.

Think of it, you got a extremely dangerous Aircraft and got Zero experience with it, but have less than 2 days to get it flying better than a fly.

And not lose consciousness when doing it, yeah, i was very pissed.

Water under the bridge.

I finish weaving trough the dense amount of debris and get out of the planet gravity, so i reduce the speed and get closer to the mining ship.

“ISS - Raptor One closing in for docking.” My cold voice resounds

“Roger.” The Female Avali reply back

Getting my Viking under the mining ship i start looking for the open cargo bay, this is easy because the camera system protected by the heavy tritanium plates are excellent at detection, and soon the open cargo bay is highlighted to me.

Getting my Viking under it cargo bay and with the speed sync with the other ship i give a last heads up.

“ISS - Raptor One in place, starting docking operation. Keep your ship steady.” I say to the girl

“Chirp!” A startled chirp was returned to me from the leader of the pack because of my natural cold and commanding voice.

She did unconsciously help me dock too, which helped a lot.

The cargo hold was not made for big things like a Viking, but i managed to squeeze inside with space tp breath and move and with a ‘thump’ the Viking magnetic pads lock into place.

“ISS - Raptor One docked.” I say

Seconds later i look at the back view camera as the cargo hold door closes and feel the gravity return to the place.

With a sigh i close my eyes, as the stress of dying stranded in space was crushing me.

Unknowing i fell asleep and the Viking system returned to passive mode and locked as it detected that I'm out cold...
