The agent let out a feminine “Oof!” As she dropped from the ceiling grate down to the hallway of the station. She’d flown after some communications hacking that she would be quite proud of AFTER she got back out of here… hopefully with the captured agent she’d been assigned to find. She was sure there was more than one person on this vessel in need of rescue, as the moon below seemed to be well known for its sale of high value slaves of a varied, but usually sexual, nature. Still, her tiny scout ship would only hold a couple people, and she had a job to do.

The fact that the agent was already here worried her… usually they would try to break them first, from what she understood from Directorate reports, as most Agents were considered unsafe to be sold before any sort of training. That the agent she’d been tracking, one Flight Officer Zima, was already here…

She tried to focus on the task at hand. She didn’t know this Agent but she knew that if the roles were reversed she’d want help. Also, being her first solo assignment (the directorate didn’t have anyone else close enough to this sector to assist), she was a bit nervous. She hoped she wouldn’t have to kill anyone on her way in or out, but was trying to work herself up to such a task in case.

She’d managed to sneak into a security station between shifts and tried to locate any sort of holding pens or slave specific areas on the ship… any sort of layout really… before the next guard came in. There wasn’t enough information to go on and honestly this was a near suicidal mission but the brass seemed to think she was ready for it… she hoped they were right…

Thankfully, the tiny scout vessel was capable of sneaking by the larger ship's sensors. The creatures on board were a stout toad-like species of moderate to high strength compared to a human. It was unknown how long Kenzie had before they notice that they have been boarded. But, it was safe to assume that her chances of success will drop quickly the longer she remains on this ship.

Beyond the general shape of the ship itself, the ADD agent could only guess where the holding pens were. It was most likely away from the front of the ship and more towards the back, away from other key systems.

Besides the occasional alien moving from one place to another, Agent Sands was able to move somewhat freely. She eventually spotted more security guarding a set of closed double doors. Both of the toad-like creatures were wearing some basic armor and armed with laser rifles. Nothing too advanced but certainly threatening enough for any ordinary human.

Could they be guarding the holding cells? Would this be where Officer Zima was? There had been no signs of any maps to follow unfortunately. This being a security station, it was possible that the hold may have criminals as well as slaves unless the slaves were being held in their own specific area.

As the agent rounded a corner she stumbled upon the checkpoint, falling back and sticking to the shadows before the toad-looking guards spotted her. This was… less than ideal. One guard she could probably deal with but these things looked tougher than most humans, and she wasn’t the strongest around to start with. The young agent thought for a moment and tried to see if they were wearing communication devices of any sort. She couldn’t tell if there were any embed in the armor but was willing to take a shot…

After a few moments of messing with her own communicator, she was able to tap into their communications network, and, unable to think of anything else at the moment, created a short range transmission (About the length of the hall, though in all directions of course) of the sound of a fax machine… as loud as she possibly could make it. If they reacted… if it worked at all… she could make a move.

"I really hope that's the holding cells and not the break room..." She sighed.

The loud screech of white noise pierced out of the short ranged communicators the guards were carrying. The two creatures jumped at the sudden sound and proceed to smacking their respective devices to try and clear out whatever was wrong with their communicators. They both were quickly growing more irritated and were about to either turn them off or break them, which ever was faster.

It was unknown if there were any other devices within range being affected through the walls. Kenzie got her distraction but the two guards were still in front of the door.

The agent’s chest heaved in the skintight outfit as she took a few deep breaths, psyching herself up, before turning the corner and dashing at the guards. If nothing else she was at least fast, and knew what she was doing, if she could keep her cool long enough to do it. The young woman barreled down the hallway and at the last moment, boosted off of a wall and grabbed for his head, trying to wrap her arms around his head and bring him down with her momentum, using his armor’s weight against him… if that even worked, she’d then have to deal with the other guard.

Focus, she thought to herself. One at a time…

The human woman rushed the two distracted guards. She leaped off a wall and used her weight and momentum to bring one of the toad creatures toppling over. The coms were still screeching as the other guard yelled out as he tried to swing his rifle at the agent. The toad on the floor was struggling to get up after being blind sided. Kenzie would have to act fast and decisively in order to subdue both these guards. It was unknown how durable their armor was but it only seemed to cover some of their broad upper body. Their large fat bodies did not seem fit for clothing in general.

The rookie mentally cheered herself as she landed the acrobatic maneuver, gaining a bit of much needed confidence. Still… she was going to have trouble overpowering the both of them. She’d somewhat hopped the blow to the head might knock the first out, though he seemed fairly solid and more pissed off than anything. She still had surprise on her side and easily dodged the rifle swing, glad that he didn’t try to shoot. Apparently they held enough camaraderie that they didn’t want to endanger each other, she reasoned.

Before getting back to her feet, she pounced atop the downed guard and launched a strong kick at the gut of the second, managing a few taps at her armor’s wrist controls after it landed or missed. “Pretty early but maybe I can recharge after the fight…” She thought to herself, powering up the suit’s “Taser”-like discharge that she’d programmed in, and hoping it didn’t fry her as well. That surely wouldn’t happen again, she assured herself.

The toads were more fat than muscle as the agent's boot sank in, making the creature croak in pain. The take down only made the creature land on his back which provided only limited damage to such a broad area. Kenzie avoided the other guard's attack as she charged her suit.

Touching both guards with her a hand and a foot, she released much of her energy to fry both guards from the inside. The creatures shuddered violently as smoke rose from their bodies before they both slumped on to the floor. It was hard to tell if they were alive or not but they were certainly not going to be waking up any time soon.

The double doors hissed open, revealing numerous holding cells. The first few were either empty or holding other alien criminals that were caught breaking some law for this planetary system. The creatures ranged in shape and size and all were growing more rowdy upon seeing the agent enter the holding area. Each cell was sealed with an energy barrier designed to hold off monsters of all strengths and sizes.

Some of the aliens called to be let out as they approached the barriers, eyes leering at the gorgeous agent.

Kenzie let out a “HAII!” as she extended her limbs and unloaded the charge into both guards, zapping them and leaving them floored… and barely moving, even to breath. Instantly she feared the worst. “Oh god, I’m so sorry…” She squeaked quietly, taking the time to try to check a pulse… realizing she had no idea where to check the pulse on a frog alien… or even what type of alien they were. She needed to study more.

After getting the door open, she drug in the unconscious (hopefully) guards so that they wouldn’t be spotted in the hallway, and took their rifles, seeing if they had any sort of “Key” devices needed to unlock the cells, or if they would be unlocked elsewhere. While this was happening, she listened as the inmates began to clamor for her attention… some going about it more with more intelligence (and less crassness) than others, offering help or other deals to be freed by the agent. Others just threatened (or promised… which was even odder) to hurt her, rape her, or both. “Rude…” she mumbled, trying not to let the threats get to her… they were behind barriers, they couldn’t get to her, she told herself.

She made a quick trek around the cells, trying to find her fellow agent, or anyone that even looked human. These didn’t seem like slaves… or at least, not well trained ones…

Kenzie looked in all the cells but only found various alien criminals. There were no signs of humans much less any ADD agents. "Hold there a sec!" A voice snorted out from one of the nearby cells, "You can't just wander in with two dead guards and leave without letting me out first..." The source of the voice was a big fat alien with a pig-like face. He wore no clothes on his sweaty hairy body. His large form sported a long thick phallus pushing to about two feet and two large hairy testes.

"You look like you are looking for something... or someone," he snorts, "Maybe I can help... It's been so long since I've seen such a beaut... Open my cell and maybe we can talk." The alien grinned. "Or I might just get frustrated and start smashing against this barrier until more guards come. What da ya say?"

The young agent sighed as she was addressed, looking him over and trying to suppress the repulsion she felt from becoming too obvious. She was new to all this, but not stupid, and knew exactly what he had in mind if she opened that door. That said, she couldn’t have him trying to draw attention to her… something the others hadn’t seemed to have figured out, thankfully. That also meant he was a little smarter, if not still crude and vulgar. She considered…

“Ok… how about this. I’m looking for a human female, A.D.D. agent… could have been wearing armor like mine. If you know anything that can help me find her, I let you out… you can try to escape, get revenge on the guards… whatever. You try anything with me though, and you end up like those guards!” she tried to threaten… again thinking about the guards she might have killed and swallowing back fear. She really hoped they weren’t dead.

"Nah... That's not the deal, girlie," he growled, "I ain't talking until you do something for me. Can't trust you humans. You better think quick, girlie. The other boys here may start getting ideas if you stand out there like a moron. Come in here and you may get a bit more... privacy."

Clock was ticking. It was unknown how long it would be before a new shift of guards arrive. Once that happens, the alarms would go off and things were going to get much more crowded here. But, could she afford to wander around trying to find where slaves were being held? The longer she thought about it, the longer the criminals here would become agitated. Was Kenzie going to leave quickly to avoid trouble or risk getting directions from an alien criminal?

She didn’t have to think too long to come to a decision. “I guess you’re staying in there then. If you change your mind… well better change it fast, I’m outta here before they come back.” She said calmly, before she started to make for the door again. She’d need to move fast now… once the shift changed, the station would go on alert. Even worse, it seemed she’d come up empty on this room, and her suit was now running on reserves. It’d make it through the mission but any extra systems like communications would be out of the question.

“Guess it’s not like I’ll be able to radio for help anyways…” She sighed to herself as she headed back towards the hallway…

The alien monsters began to bang on the barriers. Most were gritting through the pain as they tried to make a commotion though no alarms seem to have gone off just yet. Kenzie was once more exploring the ship. Towards the back of the ship, she found no rooms that were as heavily guarded as the holding cells. What the agent did find however was a room that was locked with a keypad. The door was a single rather than a double.

It took a few moments to hack the panel and soon the door hissed open. Inside, she found three women with their arms and legs held spread eagle in metal cylinders. All the women were human and were in the nude. Masks covered their mouths and noses, feeding them some sort of gas as glassy eyes stared off into space. Metallic vibrators were pressed against their exposed netherlips, stimulating their helpless bodies as they inhale more of whatever was inside those masks. From the fluttering eyelids and weak muffled groans, each women must have been like this for hours if not days. Juices glistened over the humming vibrators, showing that they had came recently and possibly multiple times.

Kenzie, through some miracle, managed to avoid detection as she searched the rest of the ship. It was huge, and that seemed to be a good thing, as the crew seemed to be light at the moment. After a few narrow misses, and at least three more rooms she had searched (2 had been large storage areas, and 1 had been a barracks, though the only crew member inside had been fast asleep thankfully), she came upon the room with the keypad. Under normal circumstances she would have had fun breaking into it, but time was of the essence and someone else’s freedom hung in the balance.

Finally getting inside, she gasped and covered her mouth, her eyes going wide at the sight before her. “Oh… god... ok… I’ll get you all down, hold on…” She gasped quietly, even though it seemed likely none of them could hear her. She wasn’t sure if any were the agent she was looking for but… bad memories from Shokushu came flooding back, and she HAD to help all of them, even if she didn’t really have a plan for getting that many people out of here. She looked around for some sort of control panel she could use to get them free…
