Merrel watched the woman leave. Then she turned toward Corbin.
"You have to escape. I know places we can hide, we'll stow away on a ship, get out of here." Merrel said, the end she'd worked for so long finnally in sight.
She looked at him eagerly, her earlier cyncism forgotten.

He was confused by the woman's kindness. she had taken his chip, but called him broken. he looked to the care taker. "Merrel, why do you want to help me. you know death awaits those who aid the escape of a battle slave. why do you risk it for one who isnt even your species?" his voice waved somewhere between suspiscion and pity.

John pulled Besehba through the lower levels, then paused "Well, ready to get your hands dirty? Bodies come in there...get incinerated there...I say you have a ten second window."
Besehba paid him no mind, she was studying the chip. It was a very nasty piece of work...but then a body she had marked started to slide past...the boy...she reached and the body...dissapeared. One down.

He wanted to retch. A terrible nausae and quakeness came over his body and he began to sweat. Fearing he had been tricked he wasn't sure whether or not to be angry or relieved.
Huddling in on himself he wondered what sort of end this was and fought back against it. Still, her words had sounded honest, her offer true. His whole body shaking and his vision fading he took a breath and let go. Let the pill do whatever it was intended to and hoped that when he awoke, things would be better.

Rough hands felt for a pulse at teh champion's neck "What ever it is, it got him too...that's a pretty penny gone...damn, boss ain't gonna like this..."
Each word was crystla clear, yet distant. The hands shifted, dragging him, then there was a chute, a slide...to the coneyor belt for eradicating the dead.
Besehba shifted the body to her hsip and paused...both their recruits were recovered...but still she hesitated to leave..."John, awaken the two...I will be onboard soon..."
"You're going back for the other two?"
"Yes, I think so"
"yOu'r enot back in half an hour I leave, got it."
"Do as you will" she sneered.

"Because I love you, you retard." She said, earlier uncertainty resurfacing. "Since when has love listened to reason?"
Merrel looked to see if there were any guards were nearby. There wasn't. "Hurry up. We gotta go now, before they realize I'm not working anymore."

"love" he said derisively. he gestured his hand to the cage and it flew from the wall. "I take my leave. the psionic interests me," he said following the one who had taken his chip. "Follow if you feel you must. as always, I will protect you if need be."

Besehba strode along the hallways...ignoring most people she passed as pointless. She froze in a hllway and turned her head...the hunt was up for the man of the chip...
She hated to admit it...but John's way had been easier. Dead people weren't hunted down...then she blinked. She had no clue where she was...
She turned full circle, eyes darting slightly in panic...all it was was cages...no landmarks...

Unique scooped up Merrel saying "Easier this way."
he hovered off the ground and began to whoosh down the corridors. he saw the woman who had removed his chip. she looked and felt very lost. he picked her up with his telekinesis and said to her in her head I know the way out. follow.

Well, it was an improvement over having to unwrap her shields in such misery to trace back to John. The ship I will be taking is at the disposal factory. Do you come?

Merrel sighed as Corbin carried her. [Well, that went about as well as expected. Why do I torture myself like this?]
Merrel looked at the woman who had given her love his freedom. Merrel took in all her assets. [She interrests him, huh? I don't see why.] Merrel's eyes narrowed. She put her arms around Corbin's neck possesively.

Unique felt Merrel's feelings, and held her all the tighter for them. he would never let it be found, but he did have some feelings for her, even is she was a human. that would forever be the one chink in his armor. he broadcasted to both of them you have given me my freedom, stranger, for this I am willfully indebted to you. I owe you my freedom and life. anythign you ask is yours.
