about to ask when the shadow peeled away from the outer wall and flung itself at David.
A large dark hand smacked his rifle across the room as the other hand raked across the man’s stomach, a ribbon of blood appearing through his shirt and tact vest before he dropped to his knees.
Maggie screamed when she saw David jerked off of his knees and thrown into the wall, his body crumpling on the floor motionlessly.
“Get back! Grab as much saline as you can and pour it on the floor around his bed!” Dare screamed at Maggie and Tricia, not bothering to make sure they listened before she turned to face the horrible creature in front of her.
It lunged, faster than Dare had expected and she barely twisted out of the way of the sharp talons that had gone for her stomach.
Gibly launched himself onto the creatures back, clawing at the back of its neck in a flurry of claws and fangs trying to keep it away from the women and child.
“Dare!” Tricia screamed as she slid dozens of scalpels and bags of saline across the floor to her.
Dare watched the creature closely as she looked to the nearest weapons on the floor. She waited until it began to move to avoid Gibly’s claws before rolling to the right and grabbing the two scalpels that had landed there.
It stood there, mouth hanging open as it tried to dislodge Gibly and looked between a now armed Dare and the other women. It looked at the saline covered floor in front of the women and obviously decided against it, for the moment, when it threw itself at Dare.
All the air left Dare’s lungs from the impact of the creature’s weight against her body as she hit the floor. Grabbing the scalpels tightly in her fists she began swinging wildly at the body that was crushing her own. She watched in slow motion as the talon tipped hand descended towards her face when its body jerked violently backwards, its skin turning a sickly gray.
She was in shock as Maggie helped pull her out from beneath the lessening weight of the drying out body that was on top of her. Dare looked up and saw Tricia standing there, still squeezing the now empty bag of saline that she’d used to douse the dark one and a now soaked and sputtering Gibly with.
“I need help guys! He’s in bad shape!” Maggie yelled, bringing both Dare and Tricia out of their shock.
The three women ignored the lifeless body of the dark one and managed to get David to a bed. Working together they tried to save his life. And the lives of the others that were beginning to trickle into the MedLab. Relian and hybrid alike.

Scaden felt like doing a human fist bump as he watched him and Koda’s combined forces kick some serious ass. Their ships had sustained no damage, Koda’s ships taking all the hits for them as the Relian had promised that he would.
The only thing that kept him from that fist bump was the fact that Koda’s ships had sustained and were continuing to sustain heavy damage. Dagog’s lack of updated weapons and ships unnecessary as the sheer numbers managed to inflict the most damage. Yet still they fought on. Not one of the ships asking for help. As if they expected none to be offered or given.
He felt ashamed for not doing more to help, and looking around the room; some of his crew felt the same way. He looked to his friend and second commander Gracus when he squeezed his shoulder.
“My friend, although these are very different times, we still respect honor. The honorable thing to do would be to release the rest of the fighters you’ve had on standby from the start and get in there and kick some ass.” Gracus said with a half grin on his face.
Scaden was surprised at the chorus of agreement that grew in volume around him. Smiling to himself, he gave the order.
“Everyone launch!”
“Hell yes!” One of the crew whispered as the area filled with the full fighter force of the Adaria. All two hundred craft that were to be used only for the sake of the ship and its crew.
