SABOTAGE
Redd claws softly clicked upon the ship’s floor, but it was a sound that most wouldn’t really pay too much attention to and so as she made her way, she heard the sounds of heavy footfalls coming from the direction of the room that housed the engine room. The wolf withheld a growl as she paused only long enough to peek around the corner to see the door to the engine room, but there pacing in front of it, were two guards carrying blasters. She recognised their species, they were Twi’lek species and her head angled as she briefly wondered as to what she was going to do. Slowly, she drew her head back around the corner and took a couple of steps backwards just as she let the dagger fall from her jaws. The dagger clattered to the ground and she listened.
”What was that?” T1 asked and she listened as she heard the rustle of material that indicated a shrug. ”No idea, maybe I should go check it out while you wait here.” T2 said and she took a couple of steps back just as she heard the booted footfalls come closer to her position. Just as T2 rounded the bend, a snarl was issued as she leapt forwards and her front paws shoved him backwards while her jaws found the man’s unguarded throat. Teeth sank into the flesh and tore through his jugular while a gurgled, bloodied scream bubbled from his now blood coated lips. ”What the chit!” T1 exclaimed as she yanked her head back to pull the man’s throat out. It wasn’t the first time that her coat had been covered in blood and it wouldn’t be the last.
In any case, the wolf couldn’t exactly wait for T1 to recover from his shock and she lurched forwards. Paired with her lupine natural gift for speed and her elongated strides, she quickly closed the gap, just as the man brought up his weapon. Jaws closed snapped at his wrist, which caused another scream and the weapon he held, fell to the floor. His steps carried him backwards and she jumped. Her front paws shoved at his chest and he fell to the floor just as her teeth found his throat and more blood spurted out of the torn jugular.
Quietly, she moved away from the bodies of her kills as she licked her muzzle and padded back to the dagger. The shift was quick and it didn’t take long for her to be standing upon two legs once more. Pale hands grabbed the dagger and turned to view the kills. The woman still wore their blood, blood which covered her mouth, throat and chest, but it hadn’t been the first time that she wore the blood of her enemies and she didn’t think that it would be the last. Quiet steps carried her over to the body to pick up a blaster in her free hand before she quickly moved over to the door to open it up and she slipped right in.
That was when the sound of the alarm jammed into her and both of the weapons fell from her hands as she knelt down in pain at the sound. A snarl was drawn forth as she drew in deep breaths to combat the pain, but it only took her fifteen seconds to recover from the initial shock of the sound. Gritting her teeth, her hands grabbed both dagger and blaster and she knew that she didn’t have long. If they knew they were there then they would be engaging the hyperjump to escape. Yet her golden green eyes fell upon the console for the engine and the actual engines itself. Her jaw dropped at the size and she couldn’t help but wonder just as to how she was supposed to disable the damn thing.
Her steps carried her over to the console and her fingers repeated what Haastal’s had done on his own ship, yet she couldn’t make heads or tails as to what each thing was meant to do. Another snarl was torn through her as she lifted the dagger and stabbed at it, but all it did was send sparks flying up at her. So, she left the dagger in the console and moved further into the engine room. How did someone kill a machine? That was the question as she pondered about her potential problem. She glanced at the blaster in her hands and she looked at it while trying to work out how to shoot it, instead, her frustration wore out and she tossed the weapon into the large turbine…
To say that the explosion afterwards was just as loud as the alarm, was an understatement and the initial blast sent her flying back into the wall. Her parted parted as the air rushed out of her lungs, but golden green eyes watched as the other turbines followed suit. One explosion made another turbine explode and the lupine pulled herself up and shook her head as she pulled in a breath into her lungs, because the initial knockback had forced the air out. The ship around them shook with the explosions and she had to close her eyes for a moment to get over the anxiety of potentially being sucked out to space. With the final explosion, the lights flickered and the ship’s lighting as well as the alarm system, went dark. Whatever had happened, seemed to work and she limped over to the destroyed console and pulled the dagger free of it. Well, at least she had done her part.
