Lena tried to not be concerned by the creatures who were already taking the doctor she happen to be next too as she heard the womens cries falled by the whip cracks of tendrils as the creatures sought to stimulate her further with pain. Lena hated the sound of whip cracks, she jumped at each loud -SNAP-!! -SNAP-!!! Even Lena's voice came more ragged and panicked as she spoke, request help over the comm unit before she heard the faint reply.

"HELLO!!! Lena almost shouted as she gripped the comm with both hands. Nervously looking around as she shouted, however luckly it seemed no creatures her her as she lowered her head into a more whisper. "H-hello? Is anyone there? P-please? Help me..." Lena said softly her voice cracking, tears beginning to form in her eyes before she heard the voice agin speak over the comm as the entertainers eyes lite up with what resembled joy in this dire situation. The voice sounded familiar, she heard it once befor as she struggled to put a face to the name, it was in the last moments of the women's words did Lena recognize. "W-wait? Your the pilot! Yes! Please come help me! umm.... Yeah I can promise a huge bonus! Very sizable!... w-we can discuss fees when you rescue me.... uhmm m-my situation? Lena paused as she peaked around the ship she was sitting naked in. I-I think Im in the docking bay? There are ships in here.... alot of creatures however.... C-cant you just come and rescue me here?.... but wait... what about the other people?" Lena answered, asking her own question. "Also Lyle! We need to help Lyle!" Lena said more frantically. "If you get us out of here I promise that Teigrin will pay you what ever you want!"

“I can't do that. If the hanger is crawling with those things they'd be upon us before we can get on our way. The only chance is another hanger, you'll have to make your way their. I can help only so much meeting you in route. I can only take about a dozen people at most, it won't be luxurious.

“I won't have any time for much of a rescue mission. If there are others then you'd have to rescue them on your own. I'll scan the station when I get closer and attempt to make -”

The last of the power to the communications ended cutting off that statement. Make contact? How was she going to do that? Especially with the power being drained from the shuttle and those things back in the communications room.

A quick search of the shuttle would reveal a med kit and a tool kit. With the tool kit she could arm herself crudely with a hyperspanner or plasma welder. It was better than nothing though there was the dilemma about the others.

Here it would be tough to save anyone especially without being noticed herself. Trying to free someone without slime was tough and the only safe way to get that slime was through Lyle or one of the security guards that had some of it.

The original Xagi was in Lyle's lab. Was he near it after being called away? A search of the station for him would be tough and figuring out what was going on here would be difficult. On the plus side those weapons that the security guards were using were still laying about, the Xagi did not collect the weapons of the fallen.

Getting armed would be easier but dangerous considering where those arms were. There had to be other weapons, an armory perhaps or hopefully other security to help her along provided that she could sneak out of this hanger.

"T-there is no way I can save them my self!" Lena said into her end of the com, only pausing to look around after she shouted. "W-we cant just leave them here... Hello? Hello?" Lena said quietly, only hearing the last transmission just before the power to her communication went dark with the rest of the ship. Lena in that moment dropped the communicator and let out a frustrated growl. The entertainer taking the moment to look around with hesitation as she was confused, how was she going to help anyone? How was she going to help her self? Lena had no clue....

Sometime passed and Lena hid in the ship, slowly she went about searching and she managed to find a tool kit, and a crude plasma welder... however Lena was no mechanic, nor was she a welder... she had no idea how to use theses items, much less start the welder as she struggled to figure it out for a moment. It was better then nothing she guessed, she could bludgeon something to death with it if the need arise, and the tool kit luckily was a utility belt... however it felt awkward clasping around her waist while she was naked, shivering as cold metal touched her, however Lena tried not to dally to long before she moved out, she needed to find a hanger where the pilot could get her.... from there they could try and figure out how to save the other people on the station.... for now Lena did what she could and carefully sneaked out of the ship and into the hanger while the creatures were busy dealing with other women they had plastered to the walls. Lena during her escape stopped for a moment to try and get a person out of the slime, however she only managed to get the tools she used stuck in the slime ultimately forcing Lena to give up as she hesitantly left the women behind and carefully made her way to safety as Lena considered for a moment to go get a weapon, however she was no soldier, she considered going for more blue slime... however she wasnt going to brave Lyles lab... not that she knew very well where it was.... speaking of that Lena had no clue where to go as she simply followed the corridors for now, she was able to read some galactic basic and managed to fallow sighs to the next hanger, hiding where she could as she made her way along slowly but surly.... hopfully Lena got to the right hanger where the pilot would find her..... if not..... Lena didnt want to think about what happened if the pilot didnt rescue her.

The station had been quiet for the most part. Signs of destruction had been everywhere to dead Xagi and people, aliens mostly, all male at least the ones she could determine what sex there were. She had to take it slow as she traveled down corridors lead by those signs.

The entertainer found some ways impossible to travel through, either there were too many Xagi around or the floors had been so smeared with green slime there had been no way by. Outside of the gorilla-like creature the other types of Xagi flew more or less. The Xagi propelled themselves with some form of levitation while there were other bird-like creatures that flew along.

The majority of the Xagi were the spheres and judging by their desire to mate from what she saw and their ability to procreate that wasn't much of a surprise. Occasionally she heard blaster fire, the final moments of an overwhelmed security force as the Xagi overwhelmed them.

She never got close enough to see this. At one point she heard a loud trumpet sound similar to that of an elephant. She even felt the vibrations flowing through the station's deck as something large closed in on her. It did not seem to rush toward her and had probably been unaware that she was there but it did cause her to use some haste now not to be discovered.

That made things a bit more challenging forcing her ahead quicker than she would have liked. She got close to the hanger only to come across three Xagi that began to chase her the remainder of the way. They fired blasts of green slime at her hoping to snare her up. The large creature still coming steadily from one direction with the Xagi coming at her from a second only the third passage offered any hope to her, up ahead she could see the doors to the hanger but the trio of Xagi were not that far behind her and she might not make it, only now did the doors to the hanger open which could have been bad if it were any other Xagi.

Fortunately it was not. Someone in full body armor armed with a sizable blaster rifle appeared, the rifle snapped up at the ready surprised yet reacting quickly to the threat.

“Get down!” No sooner were the words out shots were fired. Instead of the standard discharge the weapon fired out arcs of electrical energy which proved quite effective against these creatures.

Lena had no combat skills, nor did she no how to do any technical stuff as far as things went. This entire situation was bad for her, she was a entertainer not a fighter, nor was she a technical master mind, however did did know how to do medical treatment, but she wasn't sure how that would translate to aliens..... She was nothing but dead weight in this situation and she had no idea how she managed to get this far, not that this situation was much better. Being cold, naked, and afraid on a space station with nothing but sex crazed monsters wasn't ideal for a person like and best part she had no idea where she was going. She knew that Mr Blake would not leave her like this, at-least she hoped that was the chase. Lena was a popular star on the Mesh net and her fans might get upset if the was to parish here, however then again that would also turn any memorabilia worth a lot of credits.... it was a hard thing to think about Lena thought, however for no she focused on survival as she simple wandered around like a blind bat, dodging those creatures and avoiding large areas with that slime stuff laying around....

Lenas luck ran out however as she was soon discovered when she rounded a hall way where a lot of those creatures were sitting and waiting for her. Lena was surprised as they were befor she simply turned around and ran away, running for her life as the creatures quickly gave pursuit. Lena ran a random direction, she didnt care where she had to hide, it just happen that the hall she took took her where she needed to go as she ran, rushing along as the creatures fallowed here with rapeful-intent, however Lena was soon caught off guard by the figure that step out from behind a corner. Who ever it was was armed to the teeth and ready to fight as who ever shouted her order her to get down as Lena droped to her knees and covered her head as a arch of electrical energy zipped past her and into the creatures. Lena screaming in fear all the while.

Once the shooting stopped Lena peaked up with cautious look around, looking for the creatures then her "Hero". "T-thank you..." Lena gasped as she soft gasped, her heart racing as she tried to calm her self. The poor entertainer having yet to remember her own nakedness.

The Xagi were dead, their bodies, what was left of them, had been splattered all over the hall. Her nakedness made apparent when the man eyed her from head to toe then back up. “You're welcome. But don't just stand there.” The guy gestured her into the hanger.

His plan changed, he locked the hanger doors behind her until the added attention dyed down. He produced a com and spoke into it. “There will be a delay. I'm all set here but can't get to the door controls yet.”

“Copy.”

He then turned toward her again escorting her to a shuttle that was here. “Your that entertainer right? Lena. Anyway, you're in luck. Maybe. This shuttle was undergoing repairs and was left when the others evacuated. I managed to fix it, at least it will get us out of the station with a few hours of life support, hopefully long enough for help to arrive.

“Unfortunately someone panicked and shot the doors, sealing them. I was on my way to use the exterior guns to weaken the area then we can set charges to blow the doors … here ...”

He rummaged through the emergency supplies on the shuttle getting out some of the engineer's coveralls for her to wear.

“The others are attempting to rescue the commander of the station and retrieve oxygen tanks least we be adrift longer than the life support lasts. You can wait here or come with me as long as you don't get in the way.”

The creatures body was splattered around her, some of it was even on her naked body, coating her soft skin in warm blood as Lena in her fright panted on the floor at her heros feet. Lena's eyes wide as she glared up into his, yet to notice her self naked and bare to his sight, It was only until he looked her head to toe and smirked did Lena calm down enough to recall her own state of dress or lack there of.

"AHHE!!!" Lena screamed, blushing as she quickly covered her self in a flash of embaressment, hands coming to cup her exposed breasts, as well as her bare sex as Lena looked away. "P-please... please dont stare...uhmm... r-right... Lena said with a blush befor she carfully crawled to her feet, doing her best not to expose her self agin to the stranger who waved her into the hanger. Lena quickly hurrying inside were she went to a near by crate, hiding behind it as she made a poor attempt to keep what little modesty she had, that was alreast until he tossed her some clothes to wear.

"Y-yeah... t-thats me... I came for the grand opening.." Lena said as she slowly got dressed in the coveralls the he tossed her as she stepped one foot afther the other into the outfit. It was big, and baggy, not ment for her size at all, however it beat being naked as she stepped out from hiding, blushing still as the zipped up coveralls still hung loosly off one sholder. "T-thanks....uhm.. what is your name.. I managed to get a message to a pilot... but..I lost contact agin... I-i cant fight... but... I... cant stay here.... I dont think I can refuse your offer. I-if you get me out of her... I'm sure Mr Blaike will reward you...."

Once she had been dressed her savior regarded her again though this time it wasn't as sexual given that she had concealed her wares even if the outfit was a bit big and there was a constant need of adjusting the straps of the coveralls so that they did not slip off her shoulders.

“What a grand opening, huh?” He snickered. The place had been opened for a good deal of time but he figured that she meant something pertaining to his boss. Whether that was a grand opening of a new shop on the station or some sort of business arrangement didn't matter to him as long as he got his job done.

“The name's Daiu,” he answered when his name was asked for. He reflected on the matter about a pilot. “Well, we won't need a pilot once this is all settled and I doubt that the chief will want to take a chance and wait.

“Still,” he rubbed his chin in thought. “It wouldn't hurt to contact this pilot in case things go sour. Let's meet the others just don't get in the way.”

Escorting her out of the hanger he moved slowly down the corridors using stealth rather than force unless it was necessary. The Xagi were often in larger groups so taking them on was foolish as others were drawn in to the sounds of combat.

At last they came to an area that was some sort of break room for the security. Before entering he knocked on the door an odd way, probably some sort of code so he didn't get blasted by those inside. There were two men inside, both large.

“The chief's not back yet?”

“Still going after the commander, we got the oxygen tanks. Not many but it was all we could carry.”

“Who's the chick?”

“Remmy, Daryl, Lena. Lena, Remmy and Daryl. I found her at the hanger.” He informed the others about the pilot.

“Communications room has been taken. The comm in the shuttle should be able to get a message out to close by ships. Your small, we might be able to use you squeezing through the vents near the lab. Lyle's got some advanced weapons down there that will help and more of that blue slime, we're nearly out.”

Things were better for Lena once she got clothes on. The coveralls were baggy and loose on her small body but she managed to slip on the outfit with ease, however once she came out from behind the bins and boxes she still could not help but blush as she noticed her "hero" still glaring at her with a sheer face that made her uncomfortable. Lena expressed her uneasiness by crossing her arms and turning away slightly, looking at the floor, however this likely only added to her charm as one of the coverall straps slid off her shoulder forcing her to adjust and fix it....

"P-please.... stop stareing...." Lens said agin befor she peaked in her heros general direction as he spoke up, gave her his name before she returned with his... however he lily already knew her. "I-i'm Lena.... " She replied, however they did not exchange much as before she knew it he was already opening the hanger door and with no where els to go Lena was forced to fallow him.

Escorting out of the hanger she fallowed slowly avoiding any large packs of Xagi as they eventually they came to an area that was some sort of break room for the security. Before entering he knocked on the door an odd way, probably some sort of code so he didn't get blasted by those inside and once the door opened Lena was waved in side my Daiu where she hesitantly moved to the door.

There were two men inside, both large and muscular as Lena hung by the door befor Daiu pushed her a side so he could enter as Lena stumbled forward but managed to catch her self on the near by wall. Lena turning as three conversed before they acknowledge her. Lena looking to the one who called her "chick" befor she looked back to Daiu who introduced her before she could speak up her self, and just like that he mentioned her size...

Lena heard his words and she instantly blushed as he called her small. Lena looking to her "hero" and scoffed slightly before she shook her head no. "Whoa! Wait! Y-your not using me for anything! I-I just escape those things.... I-I dont want to go back out there agin.... " Lena said as she crossed her arms and looked away. "I havent even gotten a chance to rest yet...."

“You're the only one that can get through the vents. The door is covered with that gunk -”

Daiu held up a hand. “I'll go with her. Besides the chief is still gone, there's time for her to rest.” Granted he couldn't squeeze through those vents being fairly large like the others those vents were tended to by smaller techs. He could get her down to them so she only needed to access the lab alone but there was no telling what was there.

In fact there was no telling what this group had been up to in the first place. They needed oxygen tanks for some reason and Daiu had mentioned vaguely that they had no need for a pilot.

Daryl, the one who had called her a chick gazed at Daiu then her with a hard look then back to Daiu again. “If she's dead weigh cut her loose. We don't need a dependent that can't help out.”

It was cold and to the point. There were so many people that needed help that would have been a liability. Chances were good that she just got lucky in coming across Daiu when she had. Either that or Daryl was far less willing to help.

“Can I have a word with you?” Daiu took her by the elbow escorting her to the rear of the room. His voice dropped considerably. “Either you help them or they won't help you. Look, at the lab you might find a way to contact that pilot. There's a comm system there that's good for contacting portions of the station, security, the owner, med bay. You might be able to alter it to contact that pilot you were talking about.

“Frankly getting off the station is more appealing than the alternative that the chief came up with. Provided he's still alive.”

"I-I dont care! I just got to safety! I'm not going to throw my self back out there...." Lena argued as she glared around the room. Pale blue eyes glaring to the team of strangers, first Daiu as he spoke and the Daryl as he spoke up too. Lena's eyes narrowing as she uncrossed her arms and put her hands on her hips. "Excuse me! I helped alot! I told you there is a pilot willing to help us didnt I!" Lena yelled befor Daiu took her by the elbow roughly forcing Lena to look at him and instinctively rip her arm away.

"Dont you dare touch me!" Lena growled, her hot headed nature showing its teeth, however seeing the look in the mans eyes prompted Lena to swallow her frustration and fallow him to one of the rear rooms where the too could not discuss in privite. "I am helping them, I told you about the pilot didnt I....." Lena growled as she crossed her arms. " You understand the situation.... Those things out there.... they are taking people.... and killing the rest..." Lena said with a shutter as she reached up to hold her self gently. "I was helpless before you found me..... You saw me.... " Lena blushed as her hold on her self grew tighter. " You know what those things do right..... what they did to me before I escaped..... I-I dont want to go back out there agin..." Lena said as she lowered her head. I-I dont know how to do those things... I... I sing songs... not even very good ones.... I have no clue how to fix things.... drive a space ship.... or even open some of theses doors... I-I dont even know how to read half of theses alien letters.... Y-you guys are expecting alot..." Lena confessed. "What was your chiefs plan.... c-cant we do that?.... or find a different way that does not involve me facing more of.... those things..." Lena said befor she put her back to a near by wall and leaned ageist it. "I bet Lyle would know what to do.... he was smart at least..."

“And they will send you back out there if you don't help. A pilot is a start but in the grand scheme of things one that we would get on our own albeit it might take a bit of time. Besides,” Daiu glanced back at the others then lowered his voice further.

“I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be convinced to take you if you don't go back out there. It would be an unnecessary drain on our resources. The chief's plan is simple. There's a transmitter that regularly sends updates to one of the bosses hidden facilities. Call it insurance should anyone encroach on his operations here.

“Plan is destroy the transmitter with some demo charges, get on a shuttle and leave. None of us can fly but all we have to do is get out of the station and drift. Eventually someone will come looking for us. The extra oxygen tanks are for, well, to increase our chances of still being alive when someone finally comes. Should be about a week. If there's a pilot out there it's best to make contact and get picked up rather than waiting all that time.

“Plus we could get other ships here. Send a distress signal, let someone know what's going on. I have doubts that the ADD or any military group would help out but another criminal looking to profit might spare a task force or two.

“Lyle is probably hold up in his lab. It's one of the best defended spots, that is if he's still alive. If you haven't noticed these things are killing all the men. I'm not sure if the boss is even alive, I was suppose to find that out but got distracted ...” He trailed off there.

“If Lyle is alive I bet he's at the lab working on something. If he is then he won't be for long once that transmitter is taken offline chief was going to ensure that the life support system went too, we can't afford any of these things getting off the station and as you can see we're all pretty screwed.”

Daiu had to understand that she was scared just like everyone else, she was not thinking rationally in this situation, not that being asked to crawl through a vent was rational, however either way calling her dead weight, useless, or threatening to leave her behind was not doing Daiu and his little group any favors. Lena however merely averted her eyes form the stranger, crossing her arms as she leaned ageist the wall at her back. "Unnessary drain?...." Lena scoffed

"You....-Sigh- S-so... so basicly..... you... and your friends are threatening to leave me behind if I dont..... go back out there..... risk my life.... " Lena said sternly, giving Daiu a simple reply before she flicked her eyes to his, staring daggers at him. "...Am I getting that right?" Lena said coldly as she tried to make sense of Daiu and his "plan". "Your joking!..... this is a joke!.... w-whats stopping you from just leaving me anyway!" Lena shouted as she stepped from the wall and faced Daiu. ".... No offense.... but... I might not be able to read this alien language... or wright.... or drive... well anything... but I... I'm not stupid.... I know when someone is just trying to use me!" Lena said with anger, her nerves on edge in this chaotic situation they all found them self's in aboard this station.

“No one wants to toss you out ...” Daiu began before one of his compatriots spoke up.

“If she can't help there's no sense babysitting her. Your dead weight and I'm not putting my ass on the line to save someone who isn't contributing.”

The other man nodded to affirm this. These were not fans nor the nicest people she was dealing with. They were hired thugs for a crime boss after all, security and this went well above anything that any of them were being paid to deal with.

Daiu shook his head slightly then took her farther away from the others. His voice dropping as he spoke to her so that the others would not hear or rather interject making things worse.

“You help out and no one leaves you behind. But they won't take you if you do nothing.” He paused. “I know it's a big ask but the others can be heartless about such things. The only alternative would be checking Lyle's tech supplies and hoping he has a drone or something to remotely pilot. I'm no good with such things and save for a bit of demolitions training and some basic computer skills I don't think the others have more skills than brawling or firearms training. Look, if you think you can operate one of the maintenance drones I'll go with you to grab one. You wouldn't even have to get close.

“Otherwise they're going to set you on your way and carry out their plan. It's not as if there are too many options left.”

Lena made her point as Daiu struggled to defend his, however just as he tried to calm the starlet down he was interrupted by one of her companions who only shattered what little ground Daiu had to stand on and only proved Lena's suspicion regarding the trio she happen to find her self with. They were not fans and they sure as hell were not profession security. Lena thought this as she looked back at the pair who spoke up, called her dead weight and glared daggers at him before once again she felt Daiu take her by the arm and sharply tug her to the side.

"I SAID DONT FUCKING TOUCH ME!!!" Lena shouted again as she ripped her arm away from Daiu and slap his hand. It was a bad move on his part... he had to understand that she was already nervous and scared, and the threats, and anger twords her was not helping his case. The station was being infested by monsters, she was ripped from her suite, watched her armed escort get torn apart, then she got captured, raped, and now rescued by three strangers... who as far as she knew were only good for making crude threats and be belittling her and as far as she knew were only willing to leave her behind or worse... it was not hard to understand why she wast being very cooperative.

"You want me to help!?... fucking really!?... Then show me some damn respect!!" Lena said as she glared at Daiu with anger as her hot headed nature was once again flaring up. "I don't know you!.... I don't know them!..... you rescued me.... I'm thankful for that..... however the moment I showed up all your friends did was size me up.... automatically volunteer me for a stupid plan I know hardly anything about!.... then call me dead weight for being scared!.... yeah! I want to help!.... But your friends are fucking jerks!..... and I'm not suicidal! " Lena said as she continued to yell at Daiu as she seemed to only be working her self up.

"Seriously?... a drone....... a fucking drone!!?" Lena replied angerly as she put her hands atop her head and ran her fingers though her long black hair as she got more nervous. "I just told you.... I cant operate shit... the slavers neglected to share that awesome bit of knowledge about how to fucking pilot a damn space ship when I was kidnap from school.... So if I can do it... then one of your ass holes friends outside can too....." Lena answered in frustration as she raised a hand to face palm. "I-I cant believe this...." Lena muttered to her self as she put her back to the wall she was leaning ageist and slowly lowered down it to sit on the floor where she held her head ageist her knees. ".... what the fuck was the point in rescuing me if you were just going throw me to the wolfs........" Lena said nervously before she paused at her own phrase. "-sigh-.... You dont even know what a wolf is do you.....hm... forget it....." Lena said with annoyance as she took a minute to think.

After a minute or two Lena had some time to cool her head and process everything as she peaked her head up from where she sat on the floor and looked to Daiu. "Fine.... I'll help..... so explain your plan...... but I have some conditions..... First.... I want your word you wont leave me behind......If I'm joining then we all sink or swim together.... got it...... second.....those two shit heads outside....... I want them to both apologize to me.......... oh! I want Daryls gun........ and that ass holes shoes..... I think you called him Remmy....... his size might not be to big on me...." Lena said as she slowly got off the ground. "There is no room for negotiations..... if I'm doing something unreasonable then I expect to be given the proper equipment."
