Day 3
"Report," demanded the voice from the personal communicator.
Daius watched the chaos at street level. "We're observing the natives. They're performing their duties most admirably. They've currently cornered a pair of idiot Pinnacle pawns."
Soaked in blood, Baidol looked up to the apartment block's balcony and saw Daius standing there. With his last strength Baidol flung a jagged chunk of masonry at the Exigent operative... only for it to stop in midair, grabbed by a rival telekinetic.
"Well," said Daius, "that was rather pathetic."
Just before he died, Rawkking reached out and sent that same piece of rock smashing through Daius's entire chest, bursting him like overripe fruit.
He gave Baidol a nod. And then both of them bled out.
The President grimaced.
"So the Projects are a liability, Beta team needs engineers when they're dropping like flies, and there's reports of a Domarian on the planet. That's just what we need."
"We need to ensure the safety of Alpha team as well as Beta team, sir."
The President gave the Deputy a look of abject amazement. "Are you seriously reminding me of that? Do you think I haven't noticed?"
"Sorry sir. Force of habit, sir."
The President snorted. "Just tell me when that Exigent rat is due to be executed. I intend to watch, I need cheering up."
"Um, about that sir. He's... escaped..."
G. Umpy had evaded the Pinnacle forces with little difficulty. To think, they'd thought he'd wait patiently for his execution.
He made it as far as the nearest starport when he found a figure blocking the way.
"Hello," said the stranger. "Care to talk?"
"Who do you people think you're dealing with?" G. Umpy drew his weapon and blazed at the shadows. "We're the Exigent Organisation! We have always been your betters! We urrrrrk."
The figure's entire outline flashed with light as he squeezed the life out of the man. A man who, incidentally, bore a strange resemblance to him.
"Do I look like a Guild mook to you, imbecile?"
