Azail had just arrived back in the cockpit with Gab'el. On the floor in front of them, they saw Ashi'in patching up some cuts and bruises on her while an already patched up Lukin was looking with sparkling golden eyes upon a screen.

"What have you done, you idiots?!" Azail yelled as she sat Gab'el done.

Ashi'in startled by the sudden yelling, got to her feet. "I-it was hurt and the doc and I couldn't keep it alive, we-... I CHOSE to save its life, so I gave it the suit." The assistant said at first hesistant and then simply decided to own up to her decision.

"You CAN'T just give an RF Suit to a lower ranking intelligence sentient! You are an absolute amateur and I WILL have this put forward with the Council, I will make sure you and Lukin both get to study alien single cell organisms for the rest of your lifespans!" Azail said nearly frothing at the mouth, well... if her biology would allow for that.

"You will do, no such thing." Lukin stated from the back of the room, still facing the holographic display that seems to show a live feed of some sort.

This comment and the way Lukin spoke, got both Ashi'in's and Azail's attention. "Oh! I will! Because you just put us at risk with a decision that was approved by NOBODY!"

"WE WERE AT RISK OF DEATH YOU DAFT ORDER FOLLOWING DRONE!" Lukin said with a fervor as if he didn't protest himself against this, not long ago. He slammed his fist on the console and then turned, the glint in his golden eyes accompanied by a wide smile, which for Anghelons is quite literally and unnervingly from short pointy ear to short pointy ear, showing off their teeth in entirety. "That simpleton had just clued us in on the proper usage of the archaic Gen 1 RF Suit. The suit is connected with the ship's network to record during use and provide a live feed. I have watched its fight and oh... how glad I am that I did." Lukin said clasping his palms together, the four digits on each hand crossing between each other.

Azail got quite for a second as she listened to Lukin, his behaviour bordering on unhinged cutting her anger slightly short. "W-what are you talking about? ... Ashi'in help Gab'el with his wounds..." Azail said as she began approaching Lukin, but being wary of him.

Lukin's wide smile went to a near neutral expression, showing just a small smirk, as his digits danced across the console the video file got rewinded, pausing to the very beginning. He turned the volume up slightly and then simply he let the figurative tape to roll, making the viewing window bigger and stepping aside.

Azail and eventually Ashi'in and Gab'el too got to witness their primitive ally's rampage, its yelling, the way the suit apparently reacted to its words and how it used the suit's features, how it... changed the way the suit's features worked."H-how is it doing that? How is the suit even understanding it?! We do not have any other language installed in those besides our own... hell most Gen 1s still use older versions of our language, they are basically ancient." Azail said as she kept watching.

"Ashi'in had the suit integrated with it. When it got shot the kinetic round pierced its heart. Now the suit's core itself is its heart. Once vitals were stable, the suit plunged conductive nano filaments to connect and merge into its nervous system. It is now an EXTENSION of it." Lukin said as he pulled aside the video another window which showed biometrics of the human and the suit which worked in tandem with it. A digital x-ray image of the creature showed the suit had rooted in through its entire body, the core of it sitting in its chest with synthetic veins connecting to the main blood valves that would connect to a heart usually.

Azail turned to face Ashi'in to just finished disinfecting and wrapping up Gab'el's stump. "Y-you integrated the s-suit into it?!"

"It was to save its life!" Ashi'in yelled back exasperated.

"You could have just had it wear it for life support!" the pilot screeched back nearly headbutting Ashi'in due to how close she got in her face.

"IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO SLOW, YOU DIMWIT! If you had any IDEA of how the Gen 1s work is that when initiating integration upon boot-up it will start life support during the integration process, otherwise it boots up systems in a different order and it processes slower. A second could have meant its death!" The assistant explained annoyed.

"In the end, I have come to be glad about Ashi'in's choice. Because of that, I have just witnessed the forgotten potential of the Gen 1 suit. No wonder older data pads were speaking of its potential so highly. Due to forgetting the true knowledge we had on it and our kind's tendency to look down upon the smarts of others and also our predecessors, we are now the fools who have become the laughing stock out of all our generations." Lukin stated with a humbled tone as well a boiling frustration.

"So you are saying that dusty old armor is better than our current Gen 2s?! Pfft, like hell it is." Azail said crossing her arms.

Lukin looked at her with an unimpressed expression as he then glanced up at the video from the xeno's point of view and he grinned once more. "You remember how our Gen 2s whole body shields can withstand about five to six consecutive Rail Rifle shots before being disabled and needing to recharge?"

"Yes, it was one of our major improvements compared to the Gen 1s whole body shields which would withstand about two and then it would let rounds pass through it. The shield itself wouldn't shut down, but it was thinner than our kind's first layer of skin, so therefore useless if it doesn't do its job." Azail said confidently. She didn't know an extensive amount about the Gen 1 suits, but she knew what the military taught her and that is the improvements the Gen 2 suits have over their predecessor.

"Who actually said Gen 1s had full body suits?" Lukin said with a snort and chuckle. "One of the complaints of newer generations about the Gen 1 suits was that the shield it generated was usually initiated as a flat surface shield almost like a wall that moved with you, but soldiers complained of the time it took them to morph it into the shape they wanted, which usually was a dome that they would wrap over themselves." Lukin stated in a satisfied tone. "Due to those complaints, code was written into the suits to allow for the shield to simply cover the body and morph with it."

The xeno biologist then pointed at the recording which now showcased William as he just made his arm mounted shield. Azail's eyes widened as she witnessed the xeno in the suit block over 9 Rail Rifle shots and then deflecting an over charged one, the shield's energy surface not wavering or weakening once. "H-huh?!" Azail uttered in confusion.

Lukin simply laughed like he had just heard the best joke in the whole universe. "The reason the shielding was failing was because it wasn't meant to be flexible and to bend with the user's movements. It was made to be a constant shape and deformed when needed." Lukin said as he sucked on his teeth. "I welcome you three as you are now part of the side of our race that... knows how truly stupid we are. All I told you just now... I finally figured out after watching an UNTRAINED creature use our tech."

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

Azail and Gab'el simply stared on stunned, now watching the native chop, with a short sharp weapon, into the face of the Daemar that melted his gun to bits in a final attempt to kill the silvery armored creature.

"Hah. Oh~ this'll be fun to look into." Ashi'in said as she watched in awe, at the recording.

Soon enough the recorded video ended and a prompt on the side of the screen announced it returning to the Live Feed.

William was chasing down the last demon. It tried to employ smoke screens, but the tracking intent of the knight made the suit activate thermal vision. His eyes always being afixed on his running target, the suit locked an outline on it and using that along with trajectory data it would also correctly highlight its foot prints, which William was looking for if he lost sight of his fiendish enemy. "COME BACK YOU SPINELESS CUR! YOU DISGRACE YOUR DARK LORD AND SHOW YOUR KIND'S COWARDLY NATURE! TAKE THINE DEATH BY GOD'S WRATH AND SHOW SOME BRAVERY BEFORE YOUR DEMISE!"

"This thing has been moving so much. How the hell is it not tired, yet?!" Gab'el said as he watched on William's chase.

"Its kind are endurance hunters. They aren't fast, nor impossibly strong, but they have evolved with quite a bit of endurance. We had observed some hunters from a different region. They had struck a creature using a primitive shafted projectile, a herbivore of sorts, and they let it run off. They simply tracked it using the trail of blood and keeping an eye on it from a distance. Then... they just walked it to exhaustion and killed it. As long as it is intent on getting you... it eventually will, even if it has to slow down to conserve energy. Huh... funny... it is almost like death, isn't it? No matter where you run from it, it will just come after you." Ashi'in said with a chuckle as she kept her gaze glued to the screen.

"It is the perfect creature for a long distance marching infantry. If vehicles wouldn't be at our disposal and we had to run from one of those... we'd be screwed..." Azail stated matter of fact like, her hands balling up into tight fists from frustration at this realization that on equal footing this creature might be stronger.

William's chase began to come to an end as he caught up to the Daemar captain. He was getting into a ship, foul looking thing. While the Anghelon Empire's ships had a more oval or sphere like design, the Daemar Union used more triangular or arrow tip like designs for their ships.

The knight had charged towards the ship as it began roaring to life, its engine lighting up.

"Oh~ I can not wait to witness this... what will you do now, primitive? Show me... show me what will you come up with." Lukin said as he seemed to then hold his breath, his expectations rising.

William looked a bit perplexed as the ship was about to take off. *"It took refuge inside the innards of this metal beast. Tis a dragon?!"*

The knight made his sword form once more in his hand and with both hands he thrusted the tip of the blade against the ship's hull and after a second thrust it pierced through.

As the ship began lifting more, William hung from his blade with a grunt of effort. He looked down at the ground that he was now being lifted away from. In his off-hand he made a dagger form, which he then jammed into the ship's hull along the longsword's blade. The knight then grunted and growled as he began attempting to widen the gap he made.

"FOUL BEAST YE STAND NOT A CHANCE! CEASE YOUR ASCENSION TO THE SKIES AND SPIT OUT YOUR MASTER, LEST I AM FORCED TO TEAR APART YOUR BELLY AND CRAWL THROUGH THINE INNARDS TO RIP OUT YOUR HEART AND TAKE HIM BY FORCE." When the metal behemoth didn't stop or reply in any way, the knight simply began to pry its hull apart.

He pulled more and more with little progress, but ceaseless, each little bend in the metal seemingly encouraging him to push himself. "GOD WILLS IT! I OBEY! G-GOD WILLS IT! HNNGH! I... OBEY!"

"Initiating Adrenal Glands stimulation." The suit coldly stated into William's ears as well as back at the ship through the live feed.

"Glands?!" Lukin and Ashi'in yelled out in a chorus of surprise, both of them approaching the console and going over the x-ray simulation of William's insides.

"Oh my-... yes! It is true! It has two! It has two fucking adrenal glands!" Ashi'in said extatic at this discovery, her expression turning a lighter blue due to flustered awe.

"HAH! Oh- I fucking love this thing, already. Ho ho~ so much to study, so many experiments come to mind." Lukin said as he looked back at the live feed after examining the x-ray.

The hull got bent more and more, enough for William to get his hands in there, his weapons retracting into his armor. He pulled, bare handed as he now yelled at the top of his lungs, the strain being incredible on him. He could feel his muscles burn as he took deep breaths of air and just kept pulling. The metal cried and whined as it got forced to deform.

"RR-R-...RHAAAA! RGH- GOD W-WILLS I-IT! G-... GRHHD-... DHMMNG- D-DEUS VULT!" He yelled as he ripped the metal apart even more, just enough to crawl through.

"He got inside the hull's walls... he could short circuit the whole ship if he knew h-..." Gab'el began saying only to then facepalm when seeing the native start to rip through the wires and pipes impeding his path.

With two hand axes at the ready William began to rip through the beast's guts, sparks flying every and each way.

Inside the Daemar ship's cockpit, the squad captain piloted the ship alone as he just managed to get on comms. "Star Hopper - D733, do you copy? This is Captain Tessix, of the recon group D733/092. I am returning after failing to neutralize an Anghelon science vessel. They have sent... something after us. It is wearing one of their older model suits, but it isn't an Anghelon... it is a native of Plan-..."

Noises of loud echoing pounding and the cry of metal bending echoed from behind the cockpit. Just as quickly an alarm blared showing that ship pressure is leaking and the hull has been compromised.

"R-D733/092 we copy you. What have the Anghelon research crew employed? Over." A voice replied back through the comms just as another dull and loud sound of impact rung like a bell from the ship's insides.

The captain silently stared back in disbelief, at the closed cockpit door, in shock. He quickly snapped out of it when another louder impact resounded through his control chamber.

Tessix quickly turned back to the comms. "I-it's inside the ship. H-ho no... All Mighty Creator... P-PLEASE HELP ME! IT PUT ONE OF MY SOLDIER'S HEAD ON A SPIKE! IT IS RELENTLESS, PLEASE HAVE TROOPS READY AT THE HANGAR AND MOVE CLOSER TO THE PLANET!" The captain pleaded desperate.

"Negative, 092. If it is an ally of the Anghelons we can't compromise our position. We are not exiting cloak or approaching until we are certain that you aren't being tracked. Over." The voice over the comms stated plainlu and coldly as another boom resounded inside the ship.

"I CAN'T, I AM STUCK IN THE COCKPIT YOU IMBECILE! I. AM. TRAPPED." Tessix yelled with his voice quivering.

The comms were silent for a bit too long for comfort until the sparked up to life again. "We thank you for your service and we will inform your family of your passing."

That was the last thing Tussix heard before the communication line was ended... by the other side.

Silence akin to that of a tomb reigned supreme, no more distant sounds of metal wailing or echoes of impact neither.

Tussix continued navigating the ship up until he felt his long spine lock up with terror. Despite the silence he just had a most horrendous feeling. He glanced back at the closed twin sliding doors and his void like eyes widened as he saw their lips quiver as they began to be pried apart, a dim blue light shining through the widening gap as silvery digits crept through it as well.

"I KNOW YOU ARE IN HERE, DEMON! DEATH COMETH IN MY WAKE TO CLAIM THINE WRETCHED SOUL!" William shouted from the other side of the door as if possessed.

Tussix quivering in sheer terror, took out a small data pad and tapped on it until he came to a picture of his significant other and his six children. Pulling his kinetic pistol from his wholster he shook with fear as he could hear the doors open ever so slowly.

"I-... I am sorry dear... kids... I love you... p-papa will miss you..." Tessix said as tears dripped from his black eyes while lifting his pistol.

When William managed to loudly pry the doors a second loud bang echoed the sound of the doors being slammed open and right after a dull thud of impact on the floor followed.
