Faith vs Science

[Viktor Romanov]

Viktor's lab had been found by more than a handful of people and even rumours began circulating of the undercity butcher, Viktor was worried that he may have to move his operations. He hadn't run into any major problems, so the base could stay but the rumours may draw unwanted attention so Viktor had extra security at the entrance.

He began experimenting again, on a couple of humans and a trandoshan. They would scream, maybe enough for people to hear it, but Viktor didn't care. His only ambition for his life was the advancement of science and how he loved to hear the sound of flesh turning to metal.

Coruscant. It was smelly, filthy, and overall gross. Maybe that's because Scarlet was in the undercity. Perched up on a low roof, the young girl wrinkled her nose at the smell. It really was horrible, but it's where the crime was. She wanted to help people. Down here, there was little to no law. She had taken it up herself to do the best she could to fix that. Suddenly, an ear-piercing scream rattled off in her head. It sounded animal like, but she knew it was nothing you'd hear from a dog. Whipping out her scythe, she positioned it away from the sound, and squeezed the trigger. In a second, she was flying though the air, soon landing on another building, from where she assumed the sound had come from. Creeping over to the skylight, she peeked in.

Viktor continued his mostrous experimentation, removing and replacing bits and pieces of these people. The screams had gotten to be so loud that Viktor had to lower his hearing due to the piercing noise. Viktor was removing the squishy bits and replacing them with the cold steel that made Viktor the heartless machine that he is now. Unfeeling and with perfect precision he began cutting again and again, the heart, the lung, any part that Viktor wanted to replace he did.

Outside
The screams were coming from a door in the alley, it was seemingly innocent but everybody knew who made this their home. A group of 4 security droids stood guard, armed with blasters and on high alert. If anything were to enter the alley they would find themself in deep trouble. The droids didn't flinch at all with the screams, their personalities gone and there uniqueness removed. They would do what they had done for a long time, just stand there with cold steel hearts and fingers on their trigger.

Scarlet flinched every time the bone-rattling screams shook the air, but she couldn't pull away from the horrific scene. What was he doing? Steeling herself, the girl looked away and searched for a silent way to get inside. Finding nothing on the roof, she peered over the edge to find four mean-looking droids. They would be hard to get past... For a normal person. Slowly and silently, she climbed down the side, praying to everything she could that they didn't have sensors in them.

Viktor was disappointed that one of the subjects, a human, had passed their pain threshold and died from the wounds. His process was still obviously too brutal for the more faint of heart, he would have to perfect it or kill all of the weak ones. Either way was okay with Viktor, the ones who couldn't be converted would be unnecessary anyway. The Trandoshan showed the most promise out of all of the subjects. Still though he had nobody that he could call his Magnum Opus, this fact slightly disappointed Viktor and threw him off focus causing him to kill another human. He would have to have it removed, so he called a disposer bot. Viktor had a feeling about something outside, so he made a sweep with the security bots that were linked to himself.

Looking down, Scarlet continued to climb the side of the building. So far, so good... Then she slipped. "Ahhh!" Alarms ran off in her head as the droids looked up for a second. 'Oh no.' Vaulting backwards off of the wall, she drew her scythe and sliced at one quickl before landing. This couldn't be good.

Outside
The droids watched as the girl fell towards them, it would be an easy detain. But then the girl did a flip of the wall and immediately killed one of the droids with her oversized scythe, she cut through the head of it and landed on the ground. The rest of the droids immediately began shooting at her with stun shots, capturing her for experimentation was vital to the droids it was their main program after all.

Inside
Viktor was annoyed that his lab was being attacked during such a fragile experiment, and it was obvious that his attention may be needed but he continued his work. Another human dead, their screams silent. Viktor didn't miss him, he was focused on the Trandoshan who was showing extreme promise.

"Woah!" Jumpimg back to avoid the fire, Scarlet raised her weapon and deftly blocked away se of the blaster bolts, one making it into the chest of one of the remaining droids. That's when she decided right then and there, whoever had droid thugs like this had to be put down. Then she'd get in there and stop this madness. "Hiya!" Junping at the group, she sliced one into three pieces, then faced the last one down, launching at it and knocking it down.

Viktor saw through the camera with his own eyes the way that the young lady moved, swerving through the air demolish his own security droids and he was impressed by her performance. However it was not important enough to draw his attention away from his experimentations, which looked more and more medieval the longer he continued. Organs and body parts lay everywhere and the scene was gruesome and deranged to anyone with even the slightest hint of morality (Think Dr Steinman's lab from Bioshock). Viktor continued with cold calculations and unhinged precision, knowing the girl would find her way down here.

Once the last droid was on the floor, Scarlet raced down the corridor as fast as she could, looking all around for any possible threats. The screaming grew louder, making her wince in pain. What kind of monster was this man? The hallway streaked with red, her cloak flying behind her as she moved at incredible speed. When she finally arrived at the laboratory, she gasped softy. Staring at the man's backside, she leveled her scythe at him. "Who are you? Let him go!"

Viktor ignored the girl, he believed that she proved of little effect in stopping Viktor though he knew he would have to take care of her soon. Viktor continued cutting at the Trandoshan, he was almost complete but until such a time he needed to focus. "Tell me girl, who do you think I am? You have spent long time in the Undercity no? Then you must know the rumours at least." Viktor didn't turn to face her, but he could tell what she was doing.
