《Starbound: A Space Odyssey》The Floran Colony (17)

"You're... A Syndicate's soldier." Jevil recognized the black star on the captain's armor.
"Yes..." The soldier could only admit it.
"Why would you be all alone, this far away from the Outpost?"
"It's because..." The captain hesitated. He didn't knew if it was the Rebellion's plan, the whole invasion situation.
"What's the problem?" Jevil saw that the captain was hesitating and this made him even more curious. "Is it classified?" Jevil casually asked. If it really was it would make sense why the captain was hesitating.
Jevil doesn't want to have anything with the Syndicate, so he spoke again, "Doesn't matter, I'm here to see Oscar. We kinda made a arrangement to meet up in this planet."
The captain that was about to sigh in relief broke in sweat again. This time was because how could he explain that Oscar was probably already dead.
When the captain decided to leave the Outpost he saw that the yellow Novakid was alive and well, while Oscar never appeared again.
"Something happened..." Jevil saw the captain's change of expression. "What happened?" Jevil's eyes sharpened and his face became expressionless when he stared at the captain.
The soldiers all pointed their weapons at the coldly sweating captain.
"W-w-we got a tiny, little situation in our outpost." The captain evaded Jevil's questioning eyes.
"Elaborate..." Jevil coldly spoke.
"Well, it went like this..." The captain spoke everything that happened from the start of when they hazed the Floran colony until when he fled. Of course he changed some facts and placed all the blame of what happened on A1, that was somewhat the truth, since he gave permission to A1 call the shots.
"Hmm..." Jevil scratched his chin, thoughtfully. He felt like he know the yellow Novakid he was talking about. [Yellow with a 'Omega' brand... I know him...] Jevil tried to think on the people he met recently and then remembered. [Lenny, of course. He was with that kid... John Connor, the Protector, if I remember correctly.]

Jevil remembered that black haired young man he met at the Iron Fist Arena.
It wasn't... The most pleasant meeting because John was totally drunk and Lenny was half dead as well, but it did gave Jevil some kind of... Unique first impressions.
[They are here? Why?] Jevil asked himself.
The captain fearfully looked at Jevil that was immersed in his deep thoughts.
He was waiting... Waiting for a opportunity to mention his desire to join the Nova Rebellion.
Even though he don't know if Jevil had this kind of power, to recruit him, he was still hopeful since it was clear that the soldiers around treated him very respectful at least Jevil's opinion might help him get into contact with someone that probably had the power to recruit people.
"Oh, right, I forgot about you." Jevil realized he was blankly staring, deep on thought, and apologized.
"So... What happens next?" The captain asked, he was trying to lead the conversation to other topic so that he had the chance to make his request.
"Next...?" Jevil widely grinned.
When the captain saw Jevil's smile he suddently felt it looked very cold and cruel. He felt a chill down on his spine and sensed the growing killing intent around him.
*Bang*
The captain fell on the ground with a bullet hole in his head. Even until death he didn't even saw how he was killed.
"Sir..." The Rebellion soldier that was beside the captain called out. "It's done." He said while he lowered his gun. From the smoke that was coming from the muzzle of Wanderwaffens it was clear that he was the one who shot.
"Yes... We can't allow them to know that I'm a member of the Nova Rebellion." Jevil used his hand to casually lift his glasses up. "Well... I must thank John and Lenny for killing everyone here."

"Than... Our soldiers that are on the planet's orbit?"
"Leave them there, we have no use for them now, the two of you is enough for now." Jevil spoke and started to walk toward the outpost. "Oh, right, take this guy's PIPS. It might have some interesting stuff there."
"Yes, sir!" The soldier saluted and crouched by the captain's body.
...
A1 looked through his sniper's scope.
He had just shot the black haired Human in the chest and was about to finish the job.
He fixed his sight at John that was on the ground and placed his finger at the trigger.
[You fucker... You guys ruined my career. If I return, death might be the best of my futures.] He angrily thought. [You will die here, by my hands!]
*Bang*
He pressed the trigger.
*Ding*
"What!?" He loudly exclaimed.
He just saw something very unbelievable.
When the bullet was almost by John's head, he only saw a green blur appear in front of John and block the bullet.
A1 stared at the Floran, wielding a gray spear, that appeared in front of John.
"Let me see how many of those you can block!" He coldly smiled and placed the Floran on his crosshair.
"Hey."
"Hmm?" A1 looked back because he thought someone called him over.
The moment he turned back his eyes were met with the sight of a muzzle pointed at his head.
His smile froze as he looked at the yellow Novakid that was with a revolver in his hand, aiming at him.
"How my many can you... Block." Lenny's was expressionless when he spoke.
"H-h-hey, it was just a joke-"
*Bang*
Lenny mercilessly pressed the trigger. "It wasn't funny, at least for me." He turned around and walked away.
...
Peri stood by John's body, waiting for the next bullet, but... It never came.
She had heard a gunshot in distance, but from what appears, the target wasn't John neither her.
"It's okay now." Lenny emerged from the forest, casually walking, from the direction where the bullets had came. "I killed the guy."
She lowered the spear and then glanced at John. "He's badly wounded it seems."
"Yeah..." Lenny crouched and analysed John's situation. "The bullet went through the left lung, barely missing the heart. Even though the bullet left on the other side, some fragments are still on the body."
Lenny took Oscar's PIPS and retrieved a Regeneration Induce Liquid syringe.
He injected the red syringe directly on John's wound. "This should be enough as a first aid..." Lenny stood and stared at Peri. "We need to take him back to the ship and place him inside a Healing Pod."
"You go, I need to make sure my tribe's children are safe." She indifferently said.

It's all downhill from there. Content Warning: Explicit violence and gore, slavery, implied sexual assault.
