Location = MOVING
Time = STABLE
Mind = UNSTABLE
An explosion occurs in the engine room.
Mandeep: What the fuck?
Jessica checks the system console. Mandeep checks the scanner a fleet of the ship has surrounded Mandeep's ship. The E.M.P has shut down the power.
Jessica: I go turn the backup reactor on.
Mandeep: Alright.
Jessica quickly restarts the power. The ship system power up again.
Mandeep: Its Stiner's guard. They will breach the ship at any time. We are outnumbered let's just get to escape pod.
Jessica and Mandeep run to the escape pod. Jessica enters the escape pod while Mandeep initiates the escape sequence.
The door close before Mandeep can enter. The ship is breached by the guard. The guard has small size mechs. The mechs may be small but they are built for only one purpose to eliminate the prototypes.
Mandeep prepares to fight. An arm comes from Mandeep's side and grabs him by the neck. It throws him into the cockpit. Three mechs and behind the Stiner enter the room.
A voice comes from behind the mechs "So we meet again".
Mandeep: Stiner.
Stiner: I am amazed by the fact that you still remember me.
Mandeep: It's tough to forget an asshole like you.
Stiner gives the mechs command to grab Mandeep's arms. He walks right in front of Mandeep.
Stiner: So, Mandeep I need some info. Can you please be a good boy and tell me what I want to know?
Mandeep: Yeah sure, Just bend over and turn around.
Stiner smirks at this pleasing words and injects Mandeep with something. Then he punches him a few times and then kicks him. Mandeep starts to bleed.
Mandeep: Like I said I will tell you dogshit.
Stiner: So this is how it? Alright then guards rip his arms off.
The next thing he hears is bone-cracking, muscles, and flesh tearing. The pain is unbearable. But he manages to not to scream. The pain is so much. The blood starts to pour out of the wound.

Mandeep: YOU SON OF A BITCH.
Mandeep jumps at Stiner and tries to kick him. But Stiner grabs his leg and knocks him on the ground and places his foot on his neck. The bone shatters increasing the pain.
Stiner: Now what do you say?
Mandeep: I...
Stiner moves in closer to hear.
Mandeep: I SAID FUCK YOU.
Stiner kicks him in the face.
Stiner: We need someone expert. Call-ID 7880. He can help us here.
Guard: Yes sir.
After 55 minutes.
Guard: Sir he is here.
Stiner: Good Good now he will start to speak.
You: Carle, You stay here on the ship.
Carle: Alright.
Carle kisses you before you leave.
You: [ Why they called me inside Mandeep's ship. Did he got caught? Naw! He is at least that smart to not get caught.]
You see Mandeep sitting in the chair covered in blood.
You: [ Fuck, Should not have opened my mouth.]
Stiner: AH!! Commander, you are here. We need some help with this dangerous criminal.
You: What did he do?
Stiner: He is a very dangerous criminal and he caused a lot of death in the government facility.
You: I see. So what am I supposed to do?
Stiner: Well you see the information is very important and highly confidential.
You: So, I have to get the information?
Stiner: Yes sir. If you help I will put a good word for you to the council.
You:[ Fuck, You fucked up real bad this time, Mandeep. I am sorry for this.]
You are forced to torture him for hours. You beat him, rip is nails, electrocute him, and every other kind of horrifying torture on him. But he doesn't speak.
Stiner: Well he won't speak. But thank you sir for the help and congratulations.
You: Congratulations on what?
Stiner: For your promoition.
You: About that. Okay, then I take my leave.
You enter the ship first thing you do is go to the toilet and puke.
You: How did he manage to not speak after such a torture session?

The capsule is launched toward the star and Mandeep's ship explodes.
In midway, the capsule opens and Mandeep sees the burning light of the star.
Mandeep: [ So this is the end? ]
Mandeep closes his eyes.
Meanwhile
You: Alright let's go there. I will make some excuse.
When you reach there you see nothing but debris.
Crystal:[ The debris is from Mandeep's ship ]
Carle: But the explosion can't kill him.
Crystal: I also detected something near the star.
Carle: What is it?
Crystal: [ It's capsule used to deliver things ]
Carle: [ wait then, No that means he is ]
You notice the change in her expression.
You: What happened?
Carle: He's dead.
Anne: What?
You: How can you be so sure?
Carle: There is an open capsule moving toward the star. I believe Mandeep was in it.
Anne: But where is he then?
Carle: The capsule must have launched him toward the star.
Anne burst into tears and Carle comforts her.
You: [ This can't be and I had to torture him before he died.]
