Revenant: A Sci-Fi Adventure (Always Accepting!)

The gag came off, and the breath heaved back into Henry's body, a thick trail of saliva dripping to the deck. He wiped his mouth, then said "I didn't fall, nice to meet you. I'm Henry.". The words tasted foul in his mouth for whatever reason. He lifted the duffel bag as if it were empty, and followed his new captain into an elevator. "I do like breakfast. Thanks.", he said, extremely late.

The elevator doors opened and Henry looked over the area. "The crew" seemed to be Stryker and one other man, which was surprising considering the size of the ship. He tiptoed the shortest route to seating, then tried to drag it out from under the table, but alas, the legs made a long scraping noise, cutting the sorely quiet air like a knife through soft butter. He winced and lifted it the rest of the way, then took a seat. "Hi, I'm Henry. I hate that sound, you'd think they could've fixed it by now.", he said to the table. He twiddled his thumb.

The gloved hands around Henry's arm somewhat reminded him of handcuffs, for whatever reason. Each pace he took seemed to further his advance to his deep trance. Though they chose a less populated route, the claustrophobic feeling that smothers you in cities still crushed his body. There was no room for off steps, but loose steps were beyond the officer's care.

"So what's your story?", Henry asked. The officer had no reply. "Oh, come on. We still have time and you've got to be getting bored, we're just walking for fucks' sake."

"Hm. Ya don't deserve to hear it all, but let's just say that I seen things you wouldn't believe, and I done things you wouldn't imagine. When ya serve the law there is no god, no karma, and no room for fate. The things go on 'ere are strange for such a little port, but I built my life here, and I will defend every buried bone, every little stone, with ruthless justice on my side." the officer replied. He seemed irritated.

"Things I wouldn't believe? Sure."

"Yeah. I seen what you done, and countless other criminals on top of that. Yer not hard, yer just a sick coward."

"I killed my wi-"

"Don't ya fuckin' start with that! I read yer case file. Killing a defenseless family? Ya think that's the worst I seen? Mate, at this point yer just a pathetic scumbag, not worth the dirt on my boots. Now shut the fuck up and come quietly"

"You don't tell me to shut up, you lifeless product of the system.", Henry said, hoping to cut deep. He probably did, as the officer kicked the back of Henry's knee in, causing him to fall backwards into the officer's chest, who then wheeled him around and slammed him into a wall.
"Mate, if I'm a product of the system, then you're the waste what comes out to pollute and destroy. Get yer fuckin' head straight! I ain't doin' this job 'cause I love it, I'm doing it because I respect the Alliance, and this system we have in place. It ain't fuckin' perfect, nothin' is, but it's sure better than anythin' I've heard you put forward all day. Now shut the fuck up 'till you run yer own successful system", the officer spat, contempt thick in his voice. "Selfish coward.", he said, punching Henry in the sternum. Winded, Henry doubled over. When he got back up, he felt handcuffs on his wrists and a gag in his mouth. Well, this is degrading.

Within the hour he was at the Revenant, re chained to a post there as the officer contacted the head of this crew to get Henry off his hands. There was nothing to do but wait.

It was dark when Henry collapsed on the carpeted floor of the study, knocking the objects off the desk. He writhed, as if millions of tiny insects were gnawing at him, shredding away his skin. He'd been feeling tingly all day, but he assumed it was just because of blood loss from the night before, so he'd hooked himself up to an automated blood pump. He was wrong. The Retvvnd had slipped in through a cut.
Henry attempted to scream, but he found that he could no longer control his voice, so he pummeled the floor until his arm turned against him too. Within minutes his arms were banging his head against the corner of the desk. Flaps of skin were falling to the floor, but he felt nothing. Nothing...

No-longer-Henry decided to stay on the floor for a second while it took its jacket off to bandage its head. It hauled itself up using the desk, then said "Ugh... Fuck it's been forever since I've been human. Oh wait we can do this.". He plugs the blood pump into his forearm and sits. Alright... enough sitting. I've got a job to do. and get paid for., he thinks. He wheels the chair to the desk and double taps the desk face to open up the Holo-computer, and waves his hand upwards to open the business bank account. Fingerprint authorisation?, he bursts out laughing, And here I thought they'd have security. He presses his finger to the desk, and a screen opens on his left. He browses a bit before dropping half a million credits into the local crime boss' account, dropping Henry's company into bankruptcy. Oh that's gonna piss of somebody in the command chain, he chuckles to himself. He closes the banking screen and taps a quick message to his contractor, who is the owner of a business that competed with Henry's. He took care of a few more things before getting up and stealing one of Henry's speeders, a rather attractive M-70 Mutiny. Well now to tie loose ends.

He decided he'd make a stop before finishing his errand. A small arms shop on a filthy corner, which may or may not have missed the pistol and small shielding unit he stole. When he arrived home, he made sure the pistol was in working order. The Retvvnd could feel Henry resisting every step towards the door, but at this point his resistance was comparable to that of a 4 month old child's. Ironic.

Four months later he was forced to join some Project Revenant. It sounded fun, so the act was maintained up until now, when he stepped onto the Helios station.

Hider

Name: Currently Henry
Age/Race/Gender: ???/Retvvnd/NA
Appearance: Henry is a human with dark brown hair and blue eyes, who looks to be in his mid forties. He wears a blue jumpsuit and vinyl leather boots.
The Retvvnd looks like a small worm made of thick pus, about five centimeters in length.
Occupation: Expert on the illicit acquisition of objects and information

---

Weapons: When The Retvvnd took over, Henry had no apparent combative ability, so it stole a simple laser pistol. It has fairly high ammo count due to Henry's clumsiness, but apart from this is unremarkable.
Armor: Henry possessed no armour, so The Retvvnd stole a small Powered shield generator. It's weak, but should protect him from a shot or two. Armour isn't really a concern for The Retvvnd.
Items: None, apart from a copious amount of credits stolen from Henry's old workplace, and a one person speeder (Also stolen).

---

Skills:

• Increased memory and speed: Through the manipulation of nerves and brain, The Retvvnd has basically overdriven it's host. It moves 50% faster, and can recall things photographically (Which allows for discovery of new facts through remembering)
• Hacking: The Retvvnd has learned how to hack, as it found it is a useful skill with many applications.
• Nerve Disconnect: The Retvvnd can forcibly sever certain nerves, cutting off pain and fine motor control to that region.
• Vintage spaceship salesman: Before The Retvvnd took over Henry sold refurbished spaceships. He can get a hot dollar on most old spaceships.
• Cargo and Trade routes: Henry was keenly interested in cargo routes and intergalactic trade, and The Retvvnd has accessed this knowledge.

Powers:

• Eject: The Retvvnd can eject from its host. More detailed info below :)
• Possess: The Retvvnd can enter any organic lifeform larger than it and take control of it.

Retvvnd

The Retvvnd is a non-reproducing parasitic organism that has been deemed highly malignant. Upon entry to the bloodstream it works its way to the brain, which it proceeds to disconnect from the rest of the body. After this it locks itself into the brain and central nervous system, forcibly taking control of memories and motor functions. It can enter the bloodstream through open wounds or holes leading directly into the body (ie. ears, mouths, most reproductive organs, etc.). This takes a minimum of 30 mins, and a maximum of 12 hours. Once The Retvvnd has gained control, it may access any memory, skill, or reflex of its current host. Memories in old hosts are lost, although it retains memory of what it has done within other hosts.
It may, at any time, eject from a body. As it ejects, it will not reconnect the severed link between brain and CNS (or equivalent), and so the host will die. Once it does this it will slip out the hole it entered from and begin searching for a new host at speeds of up to 50 kph. Ballistic weapons simply cause it to disperse for a second, whereas Laser weapons will paralyze it for a few hours. Armour is no use unless it has no points of entry at all.
Possession by The Retvvnd causes the hosts' immune system to attack itself, limiting the lifespan of each host to 1 year. Indications that The Retvvnd must vacate include bleeding orifices, weakness, loss of balance, fits, and heavy rashes.
The Retvvnd has access to any of the skills its host has access to, plus an exceptionally enhanced memory and speed, a startling ability to hack computers at the location, and the ability to shrug off pain through disconnecting nerves.
