IT was savage, brutal, indifferent. The Human(a) military base had been established on Cerus3 with no regard for the inhabitants of that world a species they deemed inferior.
Now the pollution from the mining made the rivers toxic. Crops failed, that race starving.; defenseless
The Corporate had no time for addressing any environmental concerns. The planet was to be mined to extinction.
NOT they were concerned this was a military outpost. Supervising over 400 thousand ALIEN prisoners from other worlds they had conquered. The quotas were always above what any could ever reach which meant the ‘overseers’ got enraged.
Beating of prisoners, starving them working some to the point of exhaustion, their forms failing, collapsing, dying. The posts they tied them to well some of them to whip them with a lash.
Taking care NOT to terminate OR LOSE too many of them. The ‘CORPORATE’ would see them suffer IF they thought ill treatment of their slaves resulted in lost production, resources, revenue.
Star Corporation the ones who produced the SHELL suits for the ELITE the ones who could have their old skin and bone with a soul that could now be transposed into a whole new body.. one that would last for ever..
They needed those valuable resources. Thus the demand was crazy. No care for excuses.. Results were all they were concerned with.. Ah yes BLOOD sweat and tears.
The despair was only failing to meet the targets. The enslaved had no rights, no right to rights and AI monitored each and every one of them. Those who failed to meet the Ai expectations were quickly terminated and processed for food slurry which they fed to the enslaved.
Almost TEN YARS (YEARS) on that accursed planet.. about 70 % of the surface and deeper mining completed. Skag had left the planet surface almost uninhabitable. Dense fog.. stinging the eyes.. making breathing almost impossible.
Then the worst scenario became reality as the planet atmosphere changed.. Darker almost to the point of NO light entering. Temperature dropping to new all time lows, Methane levels exceeding safety levels..
The shifting of the seismic plates resulting in volcanic eruptions.. Thick lava spewing out. More dust, toxicity, thousands of their enslaved dying and yet their slave masters kept beating them.. forcing them to dig deeper step over the mounting body count.
How much longer before the entire planet cracked open.. those who were rushing towards the transporters were not the least bit interested.. THEY wanted OFF this hell hole..
The skies were dark when the shadows started to form. Hundreds of these winged beasts. Leaving the enslaved alone.. but targeting the Human(a) with some terrifying relish well almost, Ketchup or any other sauce was not the source of these creatures taste buds..
They would sniff them first.. Human(a) oh good.. like some Cobra swallowing its prey but these creatures had huge jaws with teeth that had TWO layers.. ONE layer slid back and forth in a grinding motion..
WHEN the layer wore down it was swallowed by them and replaced almost immediately. The feasting was being observed by their masters. The Cflen Gladiators.. warrior class one might say.
The enslaved had been led into a transporter well several hundred of them to be checked, cleaned, treated and fed.. Air qualty recycling had been deployed and ground moles to reform recycle; revive the mantle.
NOT ONE Human(a) escaped.. a thousand or so unlike the numbers of the enslaved who were now tranported to a nearby moon. One that had hitherto been the home of the ELITE the ones in control of the overseers below..
TURDS were all that was left of them, these creatures ah yes the Fodawke left little of their meals.. they ate, crunched, pulverised bone. Well calcium is too precious to waste.
Soon the planet was empty of life even the former inhabitants now relocated. The craft of the Human(a) given to the enslaved Aliens. Some had the knowledge to use them, pilot et
Ferox4 had received the message sent some time earlier and the Elite of their kind had now become aware of the attack on Cerus 3. Retaliation, one look at the data sent to them by the Cflen .. ?
NO ONE was going near them.. that zone was now declared hostile. OFF limits to ALL Human(a).
Luckily the enemy, the Cflen did not know of their whereabuts.. location.
Elooa, a Cflen Scieste had taken one of the Human(a) Elite.. surgically removed the head and it was now controlled by the Ai... exploring its mind its memories.. ah there it was. LOCATION, ZONE and ..
