A new sudden awakening. This time, the officer took much less time to navigate in space and understand where exactly he is.

-What, in the name of the deceased Emperor, is...

Bannerlord fell silent, surprised to realize that his torn throat was again intact and even able to make sounds as before, without the slightest change.

-This is simply impossible.

Stunned, Irri almost ignored the woman's words about the consequences of past actions and the mentality of the entire avian people; however, a call to evaluate the outfit brought him out of a stupor and forced to pay attention to Zura.

An involuntary tremor of horror and disgust ran through the body of bannerlord. The beak of a feathered nobleman distorted the expression of indescribable anger, and the wings themselves were ruffled and spread wide behind him.

-What barbarism... I didn’t expect anything else from you, abomination. Decorate your disgusting body with feathers from the wings of the Blessed Nation...

The officer’s voice broke on a high note, but in silent horror he continued to whisper something under his breath, involuntarily moving closer to the grate.

Actually, in the Irri plumage Zura looked beautiful in her own way, and this scared bannerlord the most.

-What else could you expect from a creature even unable to fly! Your name will be forgotten in the Spirals, and the names of your dead friends are already forever forgotten. Enjoy the time left for you, abomination.

TastyCoffee (1) she giggles "Abomination, a new one I must say." she came closer to the cage. "I promised to your leaders I would do it...and I'm a woman of my word." she said it while opening a small cabinet in the table, out of it she pulled a glass and a bottle that was half full. The liquid inside was black, and had a texture of blood. She slowly opens it and a smell of old wine, and deferent kinds of berries filled up the room. She poured some of it in to the new glass, and took the glass and held it near her hips. "you see, my name will not be forgotten, especially for you people, that are now suffering from an economical crisis, and poverty. And they all know I'm the one who did that..." she took a sip out of the drink, took a small pause to enjoy the taste. In her mind she knew that the bannerlord would hate her enjoying her self after what she did, to him to his people and family. "And another thing, I'm the last of my kind... Im very rare. Yeah I think I can say that" she siad it and sat down on a leather like sofa with her legs crossed... Looks like she is waiting for something or someone.

TastyCoffee

Bannerlord grunted and bent his neck strangely, causing the massive pearl-white feathers on his head to gently sway.

-You didn’t even understand the meaning of my words... however, what else should I expect from a barbarian.

Irri raised a hand with a bone growth and began to thoughtfully cleanse it of his own blood.

-You say that you are the last of your kind, and then declare that your name will continue to sound in the Spirals, which in itself is absolute absurd. It is absurd even more than your bluff.

Bannerlord looked up at Zura, continuing to stain his fingers in his own dried blood.

-Do you think that I will believe that the economy of the Blessed Nation, driven by the insight of the Holy Empress and the wisdom of the Protocols, can be destroyed by one miserable attack? This is ridiculous. And now...

The nobleman straightened up and carefully placed the bone blade in his throat.

-I would rather sleep a bit so as not to see your disgusting appearance.

Stab.

Stormi_chan

TastyCoffee she was sitting taking sips of the Strange drink smiling and enjoying him cutting him self. He bled out... Couple of moments and he is back again... All the wounds are heald "you know this will lead you to nothing right? Maybe try cutting your small body... Maybe cut your wings?" she said with a very calm voice and contiue to drink and watch him while playing with her glass.

TastyCoffee

The officer grimaced, rubbing his absolutely unwounded neck.

-Damn... I was hoping this thing would revive me longer and so save from your presence for at least a couple of hours.

Bannerlord grimaced again and tried to wipe his bloodied hands on the floor of the cage.

-I wonder what principle does this crap work on? Heal a mortally wounded creature in seconds... But you were stingy with using this technology on your ingloriously dead minions. Apparently, it eats a lot of energy in the process of work.

Bannerlord got to his feet and took a few steps to the side, feeling the metal lattice with his hand.

-Nothing can work just like that, and this thing is quite expensive to maintain, right? If you somehow make this device work... Well, I will be happy to chop off my wings and at the same time all other limbs only in the hope that it will make you pretty much spend on energy supply of your toy.

The feathered noble gently licked the bone blade, and then suddenly grinned at some of his thoughts.

-And when do you intend to feed me or what will happen if I refuse to eat food? Will this thing revive me after dying of hunger and thirst? Besides... Where can I relieve my natural needs - or is barbaric abomination ready to endure the stench of my prison, which in a couple of days will inevitably become a latrine?

Stormi_chan

TastyCoffee "don't worry about that... You will be fed" she had a pause and looked at a random direction as if she was called, she stood up and put the drink on the table. "the cage works on eldar magic... Your simple processing capacity will not understand the complexity of this technology" she said while not look at him, as if she was listening to someone else... "and don't worry, you will not get nasty here...And no I will not clean your stuff, I have other people to do it for me." she said while showing some strange hand gesture to the wall that was behind the bannerlord cage and it slowly turned in to a window, a blue light of a neutron star lighted upa the room.
The bird understood that he was in fact inside a space station that orbited a desert planet... The glass actually made the light from the star not so bright so everything was very clear... He saw that it was not the only station that orbits the planet...there were a lot of them. Their shape reminded of a star like shape but thiner, another Intresting detail was that from the top part of each station sometime a beam of orange light was shot to the void of space.
While he was observing it Huge space ship kms in length past near the station, and other smaller ships passed too... All of them had a very noticeble pattern... Red and purple wave like decals, with a metallic and rocky textures...

"I actually hope your nation will find us... They will be a great help to our cause" she said while looking at the window.

A little confused as to their recent appearence, the troopers exit the cloud of smoke to the closest to the outside of the room they are in, though still in it.
One of them pulls out a cyan cillinder and throws ir to the other end of the room, it soon starts spewing out a could of magnetized dust, settiling on ferromagnetic material and impregnating its surroundings.
A tint bit lands on the laserblade and it flares up, seems highly flammable, like thermite.

Alfonso finnaly found thing he was looking for: a wooden ball. He peeks out of cover for a second, before throwing it towards where he thought was the platform where he climbed to. The ball lands on the platform, but continues to roll around a bit to fast, and falls over the ledge. by a destinct sound, Alfonso realised he threw it too far aways, he could only hope others will notice what was going on... He realised, he was probably out of stuff to throw, giving how quickly he spent his equipment. When he noticed the laserblade flaring up, he let it go, prepared to take out his other weapon, and waited to see what will happen next.
...The wooden ball continued rolling down the pyramid, and then it split itself in half, revealing a smaller device that was inside it. The device activated, launching a red flair high in the air, very visible to everyone. The other explorers and the strange creature were very likely to notice it. (Terket)

An eerie silence fills the room for a few seconds, just the hiss of the grenade spewing its contents onto the environment. The small gliterry dust covers a wide area of the already-carbonized room, and attaches around the deactivated laserblade after it's melted a bit due to its magnetic properties.
Then a loud shot rings through, as one of the troopers fires a bullet at the can which was on the ground, the bullet goes through and creates a spark, setting off the payload. The glittery substance bursts into a sparkling metallic fire of thousands of degrees celcius likely melting anything normal that it touches, especially Alfonso if he got the dust on him.
After the fire has cleared, the troopers sweep the area walking slowly with their guns at the ready.

Parvatti saw the flare and entered the ship through a small hatch, hidded between the thrusters. When everyone else saw the flare, they decided to leave only Marvin to watch out for the strange creature and the ship, while everyone else joined Parvatti. They soon came out the ship, looking more armed than they were previously, but with seemingly less exploration equipment. They went away from the ship and the pyramid, away from the entre, and they were carrying something

It was too late for Alfonso, too late to save himself and too late to do anything that could help him... He got one last idea, that would ultimatly be useless, but it seemed funny to him, so why not try it anyway. for that brief period of silence, he fiddled around his watch for a bit, carefully cleaning and then putting it in a safe-ish place, and covering it with some rubble. Then, he heard a gunshot for a moment, and just like that, he was gone, melted away, unrecognizable and useless, his remains were, sitting in a corner like that. He was dead for good, but the troopers didnt see it... yet. The cloud felt like it was thicker than before the explosions, and might probably be harder to breathe in, considering what has happened.

Fort_Master_Gustav

Romando07
The troopers, despite the saturated atmosphere of the environment for the time being, filled with the smoke that Alfonso launched added to the frey, the slightly cyan smoke indicating the spread of the powder, and the smoke generated from the burn, it was actually more of a smog now, one could catch a bit of material if one closed his hand. Despite that the troopers threaded forward through all of it.

Stormi_chan
They seemed to at least have some kind of basic conception of what happened with the last team that was there, and as such, they avoid the particular buggy corner. They also slowly and individually moved through the corridor that seemed to destroy one of the infiltrators, first putting one of their left hands fowards to test the waters, and fiering down the corridor if they saw the figure.

Stormi_chan

Romando07 They noticed that the surrounding area is covered with huge buildings and roads... But none of them were higher than the pyramid itself... This structure is way more intresting than they initially thought....

Fort_Master_Gustav
There was no response, no figure, the hallway was long the left end looked like it led to a staircase that was going down, the right side looks like it led to a dead end but there was another one of these strange looking datatables from before...

TastyCoffee
She smiled and turned around, "You will be fed, whenever the cage thinks it's time.... You can do your business in your cage it will be cleaned immeditaly", she said as the metal door opens. "I will be back in a couple of hours, enjoy your time alone."
The door closed behind her and the room filled with silence... Only the view of space lighted up the room...

(Sorry for late response)
The Creature looked back inside the ship, and its eyes blinked a flash of red, about four times, likely a form of communication. The flare, likely around the pyramid, was spoken of. The creature then walked forward, as two more of it appeared from the ship. There, of course, were more, but they stood behind in case anything needed to be done.

Stormi_chan

Fort_Master_Gustav as the troopers went down they ended up in a similar looking corridor with the same entrence to the same room and same burn mark that the explosion did.... But one thing was deferent, the other end of the hallway was closer the before... And when the looked behind them there was no staircase going up, from where they came...

Terket there was defently someone in that pyramid... The huge entrence was close so climb up was the only option.

1) Zura left the room her two body guards stood near the entrance, which is wierd as probably doesn't need them, probably she is having them to show power or for respect. The room led to a big hallway that she began to walk on leading to a huge balcony that over looked the central location of the space station, 3km in radius the huge center was filled with huge bubble like stractures that connect with each other by tubes leading to a huge tube that was shinning with orange glow... A small ship stopped near the balcony, she and her personal guard came abort. After a couple minutes of flight the landed on a central structure, pyramid shaped.
A lot of deferent races lived inside that station, but no matter the race no matter the economical status, all of them look at Zura, some for respect, others because of fear.
After a long 2 minute walked she entered a big room with a round table, with a metallic structure and strand symbols on its sides. The table showed a holographic image of the galaxy with deferent red spots. The table had 6 very tall chairs with 6 tall figures sitting on them looking down at Zura.
Zura "you called me" her voice was monotone
"You have dangered our society" all the figures said together. They had deep and aggressive
Zura: "I did what was nessery.... The Eldar gods will not be satisfied with the normal sacrifices that we are given them"
Figures: "You have no right to chose the ones to be sacrificed on your own personal opinion!" their voice became stronger.
Zura:"I had to act, things are already going out of control, you all know what I'm talking about... And the birds for now keeping it quiet"
Figures: " you should have consoled with us, before acting"
Zura was quite
Figures: "thier growth rate isn't promising... We need more noble man, people with more worth"
Zura smiled "will try my best" she said and left the room... Walked to a balcony and she leaned on the edge and mumbels "I need more of this birds"
To be continued....

Bannerlord sat on the floor again, folding wings behind his back, spreading his magnificent tail across the floor, legs crossed and face turned to the window. Either not knowing what to answer, or having lost interest in the conversation, or falling asleep, Irri spent so much time, and only barely swaying huge feathers on his head showed that he was still alive and conscious.

As they left the room they saw a huge corridor, golden pillars were holding up the huge roof above them. On one side of the corridor there was a dead end, with what looks like another data tablet. On the other side was a staircase, leading downwards.

Romando07
He saw the creatures leaving the room, afew moments later, after they had left already, the Data tablet appeared on the counter again, seemingly out of nothingness.

Fort_Master_Gustav
When Goldy looked at the console he saw the following:

When he was done looking at the console, he noticed weak lights appearing on the floor the troopers were standing on. Each light had the color of one of their stickers...and the crystal on the girls walking stick began to glow in a cyan color....what does it all mean?

TastyCoffee
After a couple of hours, the metal door opened again and Zura came back, she went to her closet not saying a word, after another few moments she came back with her black leather clothes.
She stood near her suit of armor and in seconds she was wrapped in her armor, her skintone changed to gray, and her horns became black.
"I'm gonna hunt for more of your people....if I'm lucky enough you will have a friend with you soon... maybe."
She smiled and came closer to the cage. Her hair slowly became purple black as she kneeled near the cage so she would have eye contact with the bannerlord.
"We wouldn´t want you to go mad, now would we?"
She smiled and her sword flew right into the holster on her back. She grew from 2 metres to 2.7... somehow her eyes became even more psychotic than before and her smile transformed from warm...
...to barren from any emotions.

After they found a good open spot with the clear view of the pyramid, they began going back and fourth between their place and the ship. In a few minutes, there was a 4 meters tall and 2 meters wide platform with a barrel sticking out of it. They were determined to avenge Alfonso's death and to clear the pyramid of hostiles. Soon, all but Trikante headed back towards their ship, left only her to man the machine.

The trooper team head down the stairs.

The group of three walked over to the large entrance. They were somewhat slow but were seemingly sprinting to the gate with no possible entrance. They looked around for anything to climb onto, perhaps the pyramid itself if it were in the right scale. ~~Perhaps some odd reason to do a very specific fall that wouldn't accomplish anything.~~ Maybe there was something nearby. One of them was communicating with the other two, once again, inaudible. There is a chance someone could hear that, like a flickering bulb.

Fort_Master_Gustav

Stormi_chan
The trooper team slowly proceeded forwards through the shortened corridor. They went to the end of the corridor and into the room. They went like if they were in a line, with the way they walked, multiple guns could be pointed frontwards, in fact, three. They were alert for any kind of hostile activities.

Stormi_chan

Terket After a carful analysis, they came to teh conclusion that they could get to the platform with the correct climbing equipment... It would take time nonetheless, but it would be possible.

Fort_Master_Gustav
As the troopers moved towards the room the metallic door opened slowly and...
The room was completely different from teh rest of the building...
Yellow warm light fell on a huge amount of small and interesting looking metal junk that resembled toys, some of them were colored others were too old to be touched, as they´d probably fall apart...
All of this metallic junk sat very organised on metallic shelves which were covering the walls of the whole room...
Then they saw a little someone, half of her body was inside one of the small shelves looking for something, then a sound of excitement came from within teh shelf and she moved swiftly out of the shelf, with a tiny bread in her small mouth, then she turned towards the troopers and the tiny bread fell on the floor, she sat down looking a bit terrified...
Not moving, as if she is thinking that if she doesn't move they won't see her.

Romando07

The four of them sneaked behind the strange creatures, waiting to see what will they do

In a more comedical setting, a facepalm would occur and a laughing track would play on the background, after all, a prime example of overcomplicating a simple problem was just displayed. The troopers gathered the stickers again, and went to the hexagons, defeatedly of course.
