((Sorry for the ridiculously late post, I'll try and post more often on this thread.)) As the lab doors opened, a variety of large green cylinders were revealed. Each of them was filled with a mysterious liquid, and a shadowy form could be seen floating within each cylinder. It was a vision from a bad sci-fi movie, each of the bodies hooked up to hundreds of wires and cables, kept in stasis. They were silent, their eyes closed, mute, as if dead. And yet, in each of them was life, as could be seen by the rising and falling of their chests. Each of them was Mithias, in varying stages from birth to adulthood, replicated from brain tissue and stem cells, vat-grown for BioPILOT's unknowable reasons. Before him, arrayed neatly and sorted chronologically, was Mithias's entire lifespan, before and after vampirism. ------------------------ As the grat mechanical mind of BioPILOT recieved these psychic messages sent by Martin, suddenly, something odd happened. As Martin sent them, almost instantly, the great light flared up brightly. Over the barrier of space, a beam of bright light struck through him, screams manifesting, tearing at him as a thundering voice droned into his mind. "SECURITY BREACH DETECTED. MAXIMUM SECURITY ACTIVATED." This message was no physical one, as somehow the artificial mind dug it's nails into Martin's brain, which had never recieved a psychic attack before, hundreds of screaming voices tearing away at his psyche, his memories, all that made him who he was, as BioPILOT struck the threat with everything it had. "Project Michaels breached, preparing activation of Project Michael. Preparing activation of Project Armegeddon. Activating Project Resurrection. Target identified: Martin, associates identified: Mithias [Terebithia Command], Magnus [Primary Target, Vampire Command], Rhyss [Pawn]." The many preparations that had been made for a plan foiled by the act of a single man whirred into action, as the Terebithia employed weaponry that nobody had even suspected it had been capable of wielding. Soon, Heaven's Greatest Weapon would be unleashed, and the world would burn. --------------------- Alarms blared across the vast scape of the flying ship. Screaming, they ripped through the metallic hallways, as a massive grinding outdid even the blaring alarms. With the screech of metal, the massive plates of armor that covered the four firing points on the Terebithia slid downwards, revealing an array of missile launchers controlled by the four combat AIs BioSOLDIER 1-4. The massive cannon on top of the moving fortress shifted into position even as the large blocks of armored missiles slid out of their holding spaces, each the size of a large house, the missiles built for warfare on a massive scale. Already, BioSOLDIER 1 through 4 were calculating targeting maneuvers for a variety of situations, based on the positions of the surrounding landscape and all available geographical information. Like a swarm of overgrown metallic insects, the many robotic drones that made out BioHIVE swarmed around the hulking mass of the Terebithia as it sped across the landscape. Like a plague of locusts they then descended, as the people below ran, screaming. Metallic screeches tore through the air, mingling with human screams of despair pain and panic as the swarm of robotic killing machines used large claws to rip through the masses of humans. BioSWARM sat behind it all, unemotionally overseeing the massacre as blood was dutifully drained from the people and gathered, all metal objects being retrieved for the purpose of repairing any damage dealth to the Terebithia in the coming conflict. And as the swarm sped after the ship, behind them they left a field of corpses, lying lifeless and pale, their blood and life drained away as if by a horde of vampires.
