@Hank - She's hiding in a maintenance shaft, tapping into video feeds from security systems, trying to get an idea of who's kicking down the door. Once everyone posts, I planned on making contact. :P

Friends, Good times and a Great Life.(Name still WIP)

I'd be down for something like this!

@Jbcool

I also see that our Lexmechanic is more-or-less the Magneto of the 40K universe!

@Jbcool

I figure a slide bolt would weigh less than 8 kilos >.<

From @Jbcool's description, I see it as a single Prefab Building. That's how I imagined it in my post at least. I may be wrong.

Warhammer 40K: Beyond the Law - A Mercenary Adventure [MATURE] (Open for business, apply within.)

Nakera laid absolutely still while her food was delivered. She'd picked up on the cell keep's interest quickly within the last month. Every time he came by, she pretended to be asleep. She learned her lesson the first week that interacting with him was a bad idea. He stood in the doorway and watched her eat with a slack jawed, glassy eyed expression that honestly made her want to vomit. When she figured out that he'd sooner or later turn and leave if nothing interesting happened, she started pretending to be asleep until she heard the heavy steel door seal her shut inside her cell once more. Even with that little bit of comfort, she knew that it wasn't a matter of 'if', but 'when' in the case of her safety under his care.

As he stepped into her cell after his long moments of contemplation, she knew today was going to be the day. She had no plans of making it easy for him, but bound as she was, she could only hope he'd put something where she could bite. He stopped and stared some more. She did her best to be ready. Luckily today was not going to be the day. He turned and stepped out of the hold. He was outside for a moment before the attack alarms went off. The klaxons almost made her jump when they went off, and she could hear the earpiece in his head screaming through it's electromagnetic field. Her skin tingled as she colony came to life within it's walls. Power was rerouted to various systems all around her and every electron was a ghost visible to her unique senses.

Unfortunately, it didn't help her all that much. She was still locked here, sealed behind the steel bolt.

She sat upright immediately. Had being imprisoned for the last few months really dulled her senses that much? She blinked, looking at the door, sending out tendrils of magnetic sense. As her personal EM field crossed the door, she could practically feel it vibrating in it's slide. With an amount of focus, she tried to sense it's mass. The thing was massive, for sure, meant to keep prisoners secure, but she knew the Colony didn't have money for spare Mag Locks. Simple was usually better, and heavy bolts and locking bars were cheap and easy to maintain. She looked at her chains and felt through them. They rattled in her fluxing magnetic field. She only needed one part of them to be magnetic...the pin. Now was going to be her chance. If there was some kind of attack, regardless of who it was, she planned on helping them take over. At least then she'd be a bit more than a piece of meat with knowledge of a Vox System.

After a dozen attempts, sweat was already beading on her dirt covered brow. The device was complex enough where she couldn't feel it's individual parts, but she had to hope. One of these angles has to--

CLICK

Her wrists were free.

She gave a prayer to the Omnissiah for his teachings and thanked the simple spirits within the shackles for obeying her commands. Quickly she brought over her mechadendrite It was similarly locked. Normal keys required to unlock the metal sleeve her tools had been stored in. It took much less time now, given her familiarity with this particular spirit. With another prayer of thanks, she stood up finally unfettered.

Okay, Adept. Now you just need to be useful. she thought, moving to the door. This one took more effort than finesse. The bolt was almost too heavy. With a grunt and a metallic slip, she was able to push the door open. ...useful. Right. How are you going to help a pirate takeover?

She looked one way and then the other, hoping that the cell keep was gone. He'd likely be called to defend the station, not watch the obviously secure and helpless prisoners. Her true escape was opposite her. There was a maintenance access. Unlike her cell, this required a complex mechanism to open, driven by a unique key handed out to very select members of the colony.

Just like the one stored within her Mechadendrite. She was in the hallway for a heartbeat's moment before she crossed and inserted her key into the lock. A quick request of entry was prayed and power applied from her Luminen Capacitor. A moment later, the door unsealed and she vanished into the maintenance access, closing the sealing door behind her.

Inside the red lit tunnels, she had a sense of bearing. These conduits carried vital information from one side of the colony to the other. Every pipe was sealed with sacred runes and unguents. Breaking one open would be a horrific crime, so she climbed upwards. They had a dataport, a way of properly addressing the sprites being sent to and fro within the system. She would pay her due respects there, and then attempt to see who exactly was attacking.

Character Sheet

Name: Taka Cartright
Age: 18
Sex: Female
Ethnicity: Japanese American
Physical Description:

The subject, female, is five foot one inch tall (5'1"), slim build, with Asian features. The subject was weighed at approximately one hundred and fifteen pounds (115lbs). Skin is pigmented pale, similar to people of Caucasian decent, with markings similar to freckles across nose and cheeks. These markings are also present across the subject's chest, lower back, and forearms. The subjects eyes are differently colored, with one (right) being a 'natural' brown and the other (left) iridescent orange. There are no other physical signs of emergence on the subject. With the exception of the eye, the subject could easily pass as human without trouble. The subject's hair is black and thin originally cut to mimic a popular male hairstyle with unnatural colors (jade green, orange, and blue) present on the anterior extremities. The subject's whole head was shaved by personnel and the samples were sent to the lab for analysis. Results concluded the coloring was artificial. The subject also appears to have a history of both environmental and self inflicted injury. There is one (1) three inch (3") long scar running along the medial distal arm, near the brachioradials. Apparent cause was environmental. There is three (3) parallel one half inch (.5") scars over the subject's left scapula. Apparent cause was environmental. There are nine (9) parallel two inch (2") long scars proximal to the groin on the medial thigh, on both the left and right leg. Apparent cause was self inflicted. There is one (1) three inch (3") scar running down the anterior distal forearm. Apparent cause was self inflicted. (Note: Subject admits to the scars being self inflicted. Testifies to have not done such behavior in over 2 years) Subject also admitted to sexual activity beginning within the last year. Subject identified three individuals in which sexual contact happened. Two males and one female. The two males were questioned and examined. The female was found dead at the scene of the Incident (See below).

Skillset:

Subject has, as of confinement, completed three (3) years of High School, as well as all requisite lower grades. Marks show that the subject is highly intelligent, well above the average within their age group. Specific accolades in the fields of chemistry and biology. Notations list that the subject has trouble in social interactions, preferring to be alone over interacting with a group. Medical records show that the subject has been treated for depression and sees a counselor twice a week. (Note: Send collection team to acquire the counselor (Dr Samantha Quinn, see Index 2a-3) for questioning.) Subject was apprehended after a violent event occurred in it's proximity. Subject was found near a circle inscribed on the ground, surrounded by the slain bodies of four (4) other individuals. Examination of the corpses was inconclusive. Unknown if any were Emergent. Behavior suggests it. Subject's Testimony is attached.

"Look...I...I don't know...Cassie wanted to try a thing...I had read about it. I b..b...brought the books and Melinda had the ingredients. I...I didn't know anything was going to happen. I...j...just wanted to...h...help them..."

"What happened to them?"

"I...we...we all followed the words in the book. The fire, the ingredients were burned...one by one. I just...read. So did everyone. W..w..when we finished, there...was an explosion. I...I couldn't see...but...s..s..something c...came out...of the fire. Th...the next thing I knew...th..they were gone...and the police were c..c..coming in."

"I...I didn't know that was going to happen. Meghan and I...Meghan begged me to bring my books...she...she..." Subject becomes incoherent with sobbing. Questioning continued for twenty five minutes with no additional information gained.

Let the record show that a period of fifteen minutes (00:15:00) passed between the neighbor reporting an explosion and the police arriving. Coroner reports corroborate this timeline.

Classify Subject as Emergent, Gamma Class. Medical Records show a twice daily dose of benzodiazepines is already being administered. Ramp up dosage 200% over the next three weeks. Contain in general population.

History:

A biography of the subject was collected by Research Team Alpha 2b, in an attempt to build a psychological profile.

Subject was 'born' on August 9th, 1995 in Bakersfield, California. Subject's parents (Kimiko Cartright (nee Morikata), Philip Cartright) stayed in the Bakersfield area to current date. Consistently, the Subject showed apprehension with social interaction. From a very young age 'she' was regarded by 'her' peers as strange and aberrant. Throughout school, this trend didn't change. In the early years of High School, the Subject became involved in self destructive tendencies eventually leading to a hospitalization and treatment for depression and suicidal tendencies. Since treatment, subject's involvement in social activities has increased, though far below the average for someone within the subject's age group. After the Incident, the subject was imprisoned for three (3) months before being transferred to Nellis AFB for containment. Both parents have cooperated completely with DHS in all aspects of the investigation. Physical and psychological evaluations show no Emergent qualities among them.

Psychological Profile:

With the assistance of the subject's regular psychologist (Dr Samantha Quinn), the team assembled this Psychological Profile.

After observing the subject in containment over the last three months, as well as working with previous mental health professionals assigned to work with the subject, we've come to the conclusion that the previous diagnosis of Depression, Social Anxiety, and Self Harm are still present and pose a risk to the subject. Assigned medication should be continued and increased after the apparent manifestation of Emergent abilities. The subject's personality is that of a social recluse. Someone who attempts to find peace in solitude and finds interacting with more than (or sometimes simply) one person stressful and harmful to their well being. This type of individual has a hard time forming friendships and very rarely seeks counsel from others. Attention Seeking behavior can manifest in a number of different (and documented) ways with this subject. Taboo or inappropriate topics of conversation, bizarre or abnormal fashion and hygiene trends, dramatic expression with one's physical presence (body modification or mortification). From reading the subject's own personal journal, an interest in various forms of animated entertainment has become commonplace. Inspection of the subject's personal computer and web browser history shows a variety of taboo and inappropriate subjects explored. When questioned on this, the subject became non-responsive and visibly anxious and embarrassed.

Possessions:

• Five (5) sets of approved clothes.
• One (1) Cellular 'Smart' Phone - the SIM Card has been removed and network functionality has been disabled.
• One (1) Journal.
• Six (6) pens.
• One (1) set of artist Pencils.
• One (1) 9x11" Sketch Paper Pad.

@HeySeuss - let me know if I need to change anything.
