The Spider and the Droid: a VO Story

Jul 02, 2022 Archong420 link
OMV HunterKiller exited from the veritable depths of the Unknown, awakening the dreaded Arklans from their slumber; a deluge of Plasma devoured the relatively weak Sheilds as if they were but a soft quilted blanket wrapped around the already smouldering Goliaths hull.

"My goodness!" HK-69 exclaimed "Our hull has sustained a great deal of damage already, I dont know how much longer we can take this!" with hull integrity barely reading 20% on the shattered Sitrep monitors, It was unlikely the seasoned Assassin droid would make it out alive. The Milinar Master Computer Calculated for a second "If our calculations are correct, 20% Vitality is surely enough to reach a suitable jump point providing all power be diverted to the Turbo thrusters" as swift as the calculations were made HK shut down all turrets and Engaged turbo, steaming away from the haunting collection of roids in which the Arklans Inhabited. His processors twitched as 18% turned quickly to 14, and then 10, but to his and the ships relief, the signal to jump appeared, and at last! The horror was over.

He simulated a sigh of relief, and took a moment to take in the beautiful blue of Latos, the crisp distant nebulae twinkled back at him as if to say "well that was a close one" alas, his work was not done yet..

"A transmission! From a cptn.valantin, Sir, would you like me to read it out?".. HK said impatiently "very well Mili, this better be good!" A second of pause washed over the ship until Mili read out the message "sender: cptn.valantin, Recipient: HK-69: Come quick! Spideys goli in D-15"

Excitement roared through HK's operating systems, with haste he prepared his Centaur recently used to Decimate milinar guardians in the Unk, with a quick phase through time and space, his optical sensors beheld the sight of this tantalising target! Valantin was already on it, firing multiple avalons upon the spider, within minutes, in the classic David and Goliath Fashion, Spideys goli hung suspended, cracked through the middle like a log would be if hit with a sledgehammer.

They both rejoiced at their victory.. but little did HK know that this would be a tale of revenge and vendettas..

It was your average day in the cosmos, not that time has any relativity in space, although a droid like me does require some form of schedule especially in the business of assassination! Since Disposing of a Challenging Fellow by the name of Eikhra Retnuh, who had a fighting style very akin to my own! I had somewhat succeded my own expectations when it came to the art of combat. With a hefty Combat 15 license under my belt and my very own Goliath class Capital Vessel, things had taken a new direction, going to war tooth and nail with the Smurf menace, and they too seemed to be more on the offensive as usual, which is peculiar, and particularly curious for a nation which strives for peace above all.

Me and a ONE brother decided to go on a journey to tackle an itan Constallation that had been blockading the Initros border for sometime, after what must have been multiple attempts we finally destroyed her with an absurd amount of everyones favorite nuclear torpedos!

Unfortunately, Comander 111 succumbed to the explosion, so I offered to meet him at latos M-7.. and even more unfortunately. Heh.. we decided to celebrate our victory by letting all of 100 know.. a bold mistake indeed!

something stirred in the air as the roids floated on by, as if there was a mantis waiting to strike, or something big was coming..

A flash! And suddenly a very familiar sight indeed! the spider had caught the fly, or.. rather the droid in this case.. With a valkyrie equipped with power cell blasters and positions, I was little match for him.. unable to jump, unable to fire, with hard sharp Caprail rounds Imbedding themselves into my hull, I saw only one option.

As fast as my mechanical droid legs could carry me I rushed for my centaur, in a last ditch hope to kill spidey and me then call HunterKiller back into Serco space.. but it was not enough.

HK's Conciousness slipped into the Next Model 69 Droid Chassis *calibrating systems* was all he could see in red for about 10 seconds, until he booted up..

Seconds later a message appeared on my Heads Up Display "OMV HunterKiller has been destroyed in Latos B-6 by Spidey". Reminiscing on obliterating Spideys goli before, I chuckled, and said to myself "I had that one coming" and In almost impeccable timing, the spider himself spoke on Channel 100 "Eye for an eye boio".

I paused for a second, and imagined myself smiling if I had meatbag features, challenging the beliefs of his adversary's nation "an eye for an eye and the whole universe would be blind! Would it not?"...
