Thread: Planetary Deception

The all powerful controller of the dome, slowly he rose from his cold steel chair and stretched, his joints popping into place before taking casual steps towards the door as if it was a routine walk around the dome. He headed through the automatic grey dome door as it opened with a swish before he crossed the wide unlit hallway, his dark form blending with the darkness as he entered through another door, the room was as dark as space itself as he picked up two unique items, the first he strapped to his back while the he held and pressed on the surface, in seconds the object lit up, revealing it to be a portable touch screen handheld, after lightly tapping a few strange rune like symbols the device displayed the female subject rushing through habitat, unaware that her next attacker was rousing from his slumber. Kuro grinned before he tapped another displayed rune and the screen went blank and he slide the hand held into the pocket of the only piece of clothing he wore, his black cargo pants with grey lining. As soon as the patched up Asntauri vessel docked in hanger 5, the six males exited the vessels doors and five headed down the ramp into the empty cold hanger, chills running up their spines as they un-holstered their various weapons and surveyed the area while the remaining member lingered at the vessel doors, I will keep the ship running, in-case we need to leave in a hurry the human with bright orange hair explained as ran his pudgy fingers across his chin, the others just nodded before turning on their flashlights before slowly and cautiously moving forward as a untrained unit, the pythoractian taking up the front. Not one of them noticed as they reached the first hanger door a large object falling from a vent along the roof, but no sound was made as it collided with metallic floor. As most of the invited prey entered the first door and it shut closed behind them, never to opened again in their soon to be short life, the remaining member found his last vision to be that of his headless body toppling to down the ramp, like a puppet master cutting the strings of a useless puppet with a impeccably sharp blade, the man never even knew what happened, never felt the blade and never saw his attacker as the light behind his eyes faded and he succumbed to his death. In a large artificial cave near the top of the forest like habitat a strange creature was awakening from it long dead slumber, opening its savage red beak wide to suck in massive amounts of air as before using its golden fur covered paws the size of dinner plates, and legs so muscular that its fur couldnt hid its muscles, to push its hulking body off the straw that it used as a bed, made warm by its body heat. As it stood proud on its legs, the beast expanded its giant shimmering gold and vibrant red feathered wings that arose from its powerful back before it shook its short golden fur body and tilted its large majestic head, its large golden mane swaying around its neck. Slowly the beast took power filled steps towards the entrance of its now unbarred cave its very unique long twin blue, very short furred tails swaying behind the enormous beast, the tips of the powerful tail ended in strange barbs with four indent lines running the length of the two barbs, giving the impression that the tips could peel open. Once the almost griffin like golden beast reached the edge of his cave, his large eagle like face tilted down as it peered into the forest with its extremely keen and sharp eyes looking for meal to satisfy its massive hunger, after that it would follow the strange alluring scent that invaded its tiny nostrils at the top of its beak. In seconds its piercing eyes picked up the movement of a largish Morterrian forest rat and in seconds it leapt from the rocky edge and dived at its prey, its steel like talons protracting from its hiding spot in the beasts paws. Down in the underbrush of the sparse part of the forest, the unsuspecting rodent was scrounging around near some odd blue and green vegetation when a heavy weight impacted with its fat body, crushing its spine and ribs, the little critter squealed out in sever agony before it felt two hard objects close tightly around its fat neck and in a second twist harshly, snapping its next to cause instant death, its squeals dying with the cracking sound that echoed in the small area.
