She sighs. "I... Have no fucking clue. Play a game of dice or something? Cards?" She says, shrugging. "Or we could just wait."

"Not fucking happening!"

~~~~ Four Hours Later ~~~~
Darkness has fallen, and the soldiers' moods with it. Now, they have serious, grim expressions on their faces, as do Alex, Pyro, Brynn, and Zaren. They disarm the motion sensors and stow them away before moving as one to the factory, looming up in the dark like a giant metal monster.

Olivia has her helmet on and the night vision active, keeping her rifle in hand as they move toward the building. "Comm check, all read?"

There is a chorus of yeses as the soldiers receive her orders.
As one, they make their way to the factory gates, and when they get there, Rasha quickly hacks the lock, and the doors slide open with a soft whoosh, revealing nothing but darkness within.

[My writing suddenly gets very eloquent when I'm describing creepy scenes. Ever noticed? :p]

Thankful for her night vision, she can see just fine down the hallway "Hmm, lovely place, should make a summer home here." She says with a snort, taking up the back so she has more room to shoot at a distance.

"Not funny, Liv... Not now..." Alex mutters, poking her in the back with the hilt of his sword.
"Uh... Guys... Should I get the lights on?" Rasha asks.

"Unless the rest of you have night vision... probably should. I can see just fine but all I see is a long hallway..."

"Well we do, but... Night vision can be fucked with. I say we turn on the lights." A soldier says.

"Though... that would give away our position instantly if the lights suddenly turned back on...."

"Better now that we have remained inactive for hours and haven't turned the lights back on in the dead of night. Brynn, opinion?"

"We continue without the lights." She says.
There is some murmuring from the soldiers, but they don't make an issue about it, moving forwards. They enter a large room, and already something feels off.
Around them, they can see the factory machinery, tables, catwalks, and more. Yet... What was this odd chill creeping down their spines?
"Oh... My... Fucking... God... Above... The ceiling... It's full of them..." A soldier says.

'Keep... your voices... down." She murmers before looking up at the ceiling lined with monsters "Nobody... make... a sound."

"They're... They're asleep or something..." Alex mutters.

Suddenly, the lights flash on, and they see everything clearly.
The catwalks suddenly fill with men, their guns trained on them, the lasers right on their heads.
"Well well... This is a rather unexpected surprise..." A voice, horribly familiar to nobody but Olivia, fills the room as the extremely figure of her father descends the stairs directly in front of them.
"Olivia. I really wish we didn't have to meet under such circumstances. How many times have I told you to stay out of trouble?" He says, his head shaking disapprovingly.

"What... the... fuck?! Dad?!" she says in disbelief "No no no no, this has to be some sort of fucking trick! A hologram! Some sick fucking joke!"

"I assure you, I am no hologram." He says dryly, shaking his head.
"Wait. That's your DAD!?" Alex asks incredulously.
"Huh!? Dad!?" Brynn, Rasha and Pyro exclaim.
".... I see you didn't tell them about your family. Typical. Always running away from us. Stupid girl..." Olivia's father sneers.

[What's his name again? I forgot.]

[Never gave him a name, though I planned it to be Tarkus I think]

She stands up straight and takes of her helmet "What the fuck dad?! why are you working with OT!? I was never running away from you, we just had nothing in common so I left for my own path! Wasn't it you who told me that is what all people who do? Go out and find their place!"

"Why I'm working with Orion Technologies is none of your concern. And when I said that you could go out and find your place, I expected that you'd at least keep in contact with us!" He snarls.
Olivia notices he's wearing some sort of new necklace.

She glares at him "I do! I send mom an email or two every month! I have just been really busy! What is going on dad... this is nothing like you!" Her eyes narrow in on the necklace "What... what are you wearing? What is that spider thing?"

"Your mother died last month. Did you know that? You would, if you bothered to call every once in a while! And leave the necklace out of the conversation!" He growls.
"You know what... I can hardly consider you my daughter anymore... Give me one good reason I shouldn't just put a bullet in your head and your friends' heads as well." He says, sneering.

"WHAT?! What do you mean mom died?! She was perfectly healthy! What the fuck is that to just drop in the middle of a conversation! Tell your cronies to ditch the guns and fucking talk to me like a normal person! Here is a good reason... I AM YOUR DAUGHTER! Again I ask, what is that fucking necklace!"

"And again I say, none of your business. And your mom was killed. Because of you. You and your blasted rebel friends!" He snarls, his eyes wild.

'How could it be because of us?! We have never gone anywhere near our home planet! So how is it out fault! You know what... just take that stupid thing off!"

"There was a shootout! And she happened to be caught in the crossfire! And it's ALL. YOUR. FAULT!" He yells.

"ENOUGH!" Alex suddenly yells, startling Tarkus into silence. "She's your daughter, man! And you know what!? We have a daughter of our own too!" He yells.

There's a long moment of silence. "So? Am I supposed to care? Am I supposed to care that my whore of a daughter spread her legs for the next guy she saw and got pregnant?" Tarkus says, his voice dangerously calm. "You know what? Maybe I should just hunt down your kids and kill them too. God knows how fucking useless you've been. I don't want your disgusting spawn all over the galaxy. I'd probably be doing them a favour by killing them off." He says, waving dismissively with a sneer on his face.

Alex could hear Olivia's heart shatter, then see all the little pieces fall to the floor and break again. "I.... I refuse to believe this is you father. Someone must have done something to you. That necklace I bet... it seems wrong. But even then... I can't forgive what you just said... I don't have it in me." Her hands shake and quiver in rage as she holds her gun tightly. "Alex... can you throw me up there? There is a ledge to the cat walk just above us... can you do it?" She whispers under her breath.

Just as he opens his mouth to reply, Tarkus speaks again.
"But completely merciless I am not. You and the rebel leader come with me, and the rest of your friends can go free." He says.
Alex shuts his mouth and looks at Olivia instead.

She looks up to see how many of the monsters are on the ceiling "Really? how could I possibly trust your word on that? The moment we go over there you would like just send out the kill order anyway."

There are almost a hundred. Far too many for her or even the soldiers to take down, as well as the enemy soldiers on the catwalks.
"Fine. I promise my soldiers will not hurt them. Is that enough for your rebel conscience?" He growls.

"Nice try... Your soldiers, you, your monsters and any other forces you might have. Give me that word.... and we will come along quietly. Though I don't know what you hope to gain from us, you already know more than we do."
