The space odyssey of the snow leopard

Chapter 5: Chapter 5 First mission



Why, it only took me two minutes to get to the Hades Cluster system. How I adore my spaceship and its technology. And no, I'm not biased because she's my wife. This is true! Maybe…

"Honey, scan the space and find this ship."

"I'm launching scanners... There are signs of life... Distance 500,000 km."

"Okay, let's go." - and literally 30 seconds later we were not far from a large cargo ship. 

"Fuck, it's big, like 15 football fields from my previous life, how does this thing even fly?"

"Searching for information..."

"Wait, don't, that was a rhetorical question," I told her.

"Better, scan this ship." I added, which is what she did.

A holographic model of a ship with red dots appeared in front of me, which were indicated by the video as enemies. Are there more than 200 of them? I don't want to run around this colossus and kill everyone, and the fact that they can notice me and put pressure on me doesn't help. 

Stack, what is this... In the engine room sector, unlike the others, there was a blue dot. Maybe this is the scientist?

We need to check, there is a control point just above, great!

All I need to do is go pick up the scientist and go to the control room, locking myself there, I will turn off the oxygen throughout the ship and I won't have to run around and kill everyone.

"Enterprise, enter the invis, and fly up to the nearest door that leads inside." I told her, and I went to put on my spacesuit.

Once it was on, I checked my blasters and headed for the airlock.

Without hesitation, I jumped into endless space, but the energy directed me towards the ship and I ended up landing on the hull, next to the door. I had magnetic boots behind me, so it was not difficult to hold on.

Approaching closer to the door, I activated my terminal and wanted to try to hack, but there was little hope, I have never been a hacker. But to my surprise, instead of a complex code, I had to play a mini-game with the selection of the appropriate code. I'm special at these types of games, so after a couple of seconds, the door was broken open.

Going inside and closing the door, I took off my spacesuit, marking a place to pick it up later.

I was in some kind of maintenance room, from which there was only one door.

Approaching the door, it automatically opened and I immediately dived behind the nearest shelter.

"No seriously, what are we looking for?" said one of those who entered.

"I don't know, all I know is that Cerberus needs it, since it mobilized so many," answered the second.

While they were talking, I walked up to one of them and quickly twisted his neck.

"Hey Dave, don't..." Before he could finish speaking, I pierced his head with a knife. 

Leaving the corpses where they were, I went out into the corridor before checking to see if there was anyone else nearby.

Walking along the corridor, I came to the stairs where one of the soldiers was climbing. I dived back into the opening, waited until he was next to me, I pulled him towards me and cut his throat.

Having hidden the corpse in the shadows, I began to go down the stairs, at the end of which there were two more soldiers.

Without hesitation, I jumped to one, piercing the head with a knife, the second one opened his eyes wide, and before he had time to react, I stuck the second knife into his eye. 

I decided not to hide them, but pulled them a little to the side.

Going down the stairs, I reached the engine room, where two soldiers, apparently technicians, are trying to break open the door. 

I switched the blaster to silent mode, which I found recently, and I shot at one guy, blowing his head off. The second one stared at him in shock, then turned to me, and the last thing he saw was how I fired a shell at him that exploded his head, turning it into a bloody mess.

Stepping over the corpses, I approached the door and began to break it open. And she opened up.

"Hey, is anyone here?"

A short girl dressed as a scientist came out from behind the boxes.

"I understand you are here to save me."

"Kind of, let's go, we need to get to the control room," I said and she nodded.

Walking past the corpses, I saw how she almost vomited, well, if the past me had been in your place, I would have vomited too, seeing how the guy had a bloody mess instead of a head, not a pleasant one.

The path to the control room was clear, entering the room which was quite large. At the other end of which there were terminals.

"We need to turn off the air on the ship except this room, is this possible?" - approaching the terminals

"Yes, you need to close it first..." - before she had time to speak, a shot sounded, but I managed to pull it towards me and we hid behind an iron table

"Enemy spotted," we heard, and more footsteps were heard

"We need to close that door where that guy is standing, then I can turn off the air everywhere except this room," she said, still worried because they were shooting at us.

"Okay, be ready to do this, I'll close the door," I said, taking out the second blaster, without hesitation, I jumped, managing to kill one of the soldiers in the air with a hit to the head.

I immediately dived into another shelter, which they continued to shoot at with continuous fire, but then went off to reload.

I ran out, holding two blasters in my hands, and started shooting. The first was a guy who was hiding behind a table; before he had time to hide, I smashed his head halfway through; the second I killed on the second floor, on something like a balcony. I shot two more, hitting them in the chest and stomach.

It was at this moment that a guy from the second floor jumped on me, with a katana in his hands, knocking my weapon out of my hands, he again tried to attack me, but I took the nearest keyboard, he pierced it, I lunged to the left, tying the cable around his neck and began to choke, he tried to resist, but soon stopped moving.

I saw more soldiers running down the corridor, there was no time to think, I ran up to the door and pressed the button, blocking it, just in front of them, and saw their furious faces through the window.

Smiling at them with your sweet smile. 

"Turn off the oxygen supply," I said, and she did what I asked.

At first, they did not understand what was happening, but soon they slowly felt that they did not have enough oxygen and began to suffocate. Until they finally stopped moving.

"Well, that's all," I said, then a call came to my terminal.

"Captain, I have detected a hyperjump signature, someone is coming out of it... 1 Cerberus battleship, 2 Cerberus heavy bombers and 5 Cerberus small cruisers, will you allow me to deal with them?"

"Yes, I allow it," I said to my wife and approached the scientist

"I thought I was finished, thank you for saving me, by the way, my name is Elvira."

"Sirin, there is no need to thank me, this was my work, for which I will receive a good sum, and your salvation was desirable, but not necessary," I pointed this out to her.

"And yet you decided to save me, for which I am grateful, but what now?"

"I have already sent a message about clearing the ship, now all I have to do is wait."

We had to wait, for three hours all this time I played cards with Elvira, which she does not know how to play.

My wife reported that several ships with the logo of some corporation came out of the hyperjump.

The corporation itself came to pick up its cargo, right?

We headed towards the hangar just as the ships docked with it.

A guy in rich clothes with combed hair came out of the best ship.

And when he saw me, lust appeared in his eyes.

Disgusting!

"I thank you for saving the cargo, payment has already been made, would you like..."

"No!" I said coldly, walking past him and heading towards my ship, which was standing in the hangar, and I asked my wife to drive him here.

Suddenly, I felt someone grab me

"Wait, when I'm talking to you, for a mercenary like me I can make an offer." - I didn't let him finish, I turned around and hit him between the legs, how good it is that now I don't have this, which means I'm no longer in pain I'll never feel it.

Oddly enough, the bodyguards did not attack me, apparently accustomed to the actions of the "young master."

I boarded my ship and told my wife that I would go take a shower, because some creature had stained my hand.

Having gone down to my cabin, I undressed and immediately went into the shower, how nice it was to wash off the heaviness of the working day.

Having finished taking a shower, I went to dry my hair with a hairdryer, and at the same time my tail, which took a very long time to dry.

Dressed in slightly different clothes, this time I was wearing a tight-fitting suit, the upper part of which was black and the lower part was white, well, only my chest was black, under which there was some kind of blue gem. Throwing on my coat, I climbed onto the bridge.

"Enterprise, take us back to the station," I told my wife.

"I got it!"

Sigh.

I hope this guy doesn't come back and bite me for what I did.
