Maks carefully watched Mason and Laura retreat down the hallway towards the laboratories with a slightly subdued smile. In the corner of his field of vision he also kept a careful watch on the DIEIS agent, well aware that the man had turned his back on him and disarmed himself to Mason. The opportunity was obvious enough that Maks was suspicious that he had some hidden trick up his sleeve, but he would have to take it. He waited until Mason and Laura had rounded the corner and gone out of sight to make his move.

"Okay, hands up where I can see them you scrawny bastard!" he growled at the agent. "And down on your knees! I won't hesitate to shoot you if you try to do anything stupid."

As soon as the Alleghenians were gone, Iwelinin picked up her pistol and readied it at the rogue DIEIS agent. "You do anything, Maks and I will kill you." She reached Verulo. "He's lost a lot of blood, Maks, but if I can get him to the infirmary, he should...he will be alright."


The agent smiled as he began to straighten his tie. However, he wasn't really straightening his tie. Hidden within his tie was a small knife. He immediately grabbed it and hurled it at Maks. His smile quickly disappeared as the knife missed the lupine by a mile. "Oh that's not good." Desperation appeared on the rogue agent's face as he attempted to charge the lupine.

The passage of the throwing knife past his head rekindled Maks's anger completely. His snarl returned in full, and he growled through his bared teeth. "That's it!" he shouted at the oncoming enemy. He did not, however, fire his pistol. In fact he let his gun-arm drop. Discharging the weapon might bring Mason back, and that was not something he needed right now. Moreover, the agent was now clearly panicked, and Maks felt confident enough that he didn't have some trick left that would require such a heavy response.

Instead, he caught the man in the midst of his reckless charge by the throat with his free arm. His snarl took on some aspects of a cruel grin when he perceived in the agent's face the dismay that the pressure of his paw around his windpipe had created. "What kind of agent are you, pulling stupid shit like that and missing? Then you charge at me? I've got to be like three times your size!" He tightened his grip for effect and slammed the agent into the nearest wall, easily lifting his feet from the ground. His rage was now adulterated with the thrill of his exertion of such raw physical power over his opponent. "If you know what's good for you, you won't try something that stupid again. I'm only using a fraction of my strength right now, and I can crush that skinny little neck of yours if you make me. Iwelinin!" He kept his attention on his captive. "Get Verulo to the infirmary, I can handle him here on my own."

The agent managed a strained laugh. "You don't get it do you, mongrel? Whether I live or die is of no concern to me. I was going..." He struggled to explain his mission as Maks' grip became tighter. "...destroy this place and make sure you canines got the blame. That's---gah---right, your nation, Vulshain, Listonia, Vekaiyu, Southern Yugoslavia, and the rest of you flea-bags...gah--would be blamed for the destruction of this lab." He smiled despite the fact that he was beginning to choke.

Iwelinin helped Verulo up. "Maks. Kill the bastard and toss his body for the sharks. Because if you don't I will. People like him are nothing more than speciesist hatemongers who are nothing more than cowards. And don't worry about Verulo. I'll make sure he lives."

Iwelinin helped Verulo down the hallway towards the infirmary.

--------------------------------------------

As they made their way to the infirmary, Verulo began to get dizzy. "So sleeply...must rest..."

"No, don't go to sleep, Verulo. You can't sleep, not yet anyways. I have to stop the bleeding. Come on stay with me. Everything is going to be fine."

"Is Maks...Is my lover...alright?"

"Lover...? Oh. Yeah, he's okay. He actually saved your life. You got a very protective...um, boyfriend watching out for you."

"Thanks...So tired...."

"Just a little bit further, Verulo." Iwelinin was wishing it actually was closer as the infirmary was still far away at the pace they were going. She prayed that they would make it in time.

Maks's cruel smile disappeared back into the snarl that had spawned it. He had been taking a perverse pleasure in the thought that he was terrifying the agent, that he had the power to snuff out the man's life if he felt like it. His continued defiance and taunts were absolutely infuriating for Maks. With a guttural roar he slammed the agent against the wall a second time.

"What the fuck is wrong with you? This isn't a game, I'm not playing around! Do you want me to kill you?" Maks drew his face closer in to that of the agent. He seemed completely unphased by the threat implicit in his last question. "Well touch luck, you bastard. If that's what you want I'm not just going to give it to you. I know far worse things to do to a person than just killing them, and you're really pissing me off right now."

The agent tried to laugh, but couldn't what with the Lupine's grip. "Gah...Very funny mutt. Let me tell you something: I may--gah--failed in my mission, but you will always have to look over your shoulder--gah--because someone will make sure my job gets done...gah!" The rogue agent bit down hard on one of his back teeth. Inside that tooth was hidden a small poisonous needle. When he pressed down on the tooth, the needle's poison entered his bloodstream. Within a few minutes, the rogue DIEIS agent's body went limp in Maks' grip.

-------------------------------------------

Iwelinin and Verulo had finally reached the infirmary, and right away the Lobo naval officer went about trying to save the Vulpine doctor's life.

She had blood on her shirt and pants, but she paid no heed to it. She was too focused on saving Verulo's life.

She sighed in relief after seeing that the bullets had gone straight through. She wasn't sure if she could have dug them out if they hadn't.

She started by stopping the bleeding. The infirmary started to look like a tornado had gone right through it as she hunted for anything to save her fellow Vulshainian's life. "Come on Iwelinin, you can do this. You didn't get named 'Best Field Medic' back at the Naval Academy for nothing now."

She was panting like crazy as she desperately worked. She could hear the marching feet of time as she raced to make sure that Verulo's time didn't come.

"Yes," she whispered, remembering that shouting would probably bring Mason down here, and she certainly didn't need that. She had successfully stopped the bleeding, but Verulo still wasn't out of the woods yet.

Feeling the agent's body go limp in his paw, Maks's fury escalated even further. He expressed the intense frustration by tightening his grip on the man's neck until his claws drew blood. The sudden sight and odor of the sticky red liquid prompted him to hurl the lifeless corpse with another angry vocalization. This time it wasn't just anger at the agent but at himself. Concealing poison in the tooth was a trick he was completely familiar with and should have anticipated.

He should have broken the bastard's jaw when he had a chance. Instead he had hesitated, and let the agent escape a proper punishment for his crimes. He looked down at the body. Even in death the agent continued to mock him with the smile frozen on his face. It was more than Maks could bear.

"Shut up you fucking bastard, shut up, shut up!" Maks yelled furiously, and punctuated each imperative by brutally stomping on the face of corpse. A serious of sickening cracks followed as the bones of the agent's muzzle failed under the assault they were being subjected to. Maks ended the desecration with a final kick to the side of the head which turned its face away from him.

The offending expression disfigured and out of view, Maks could feel some of his sense returning, even though he was still breathing hard and his heart was racing. The concerns of Mason and the cube began to return. So did an awareness of his surroundings, which included a realization that Elana was still with him in the common room, a witness to what had just transpired. He looked over to where she stood, and attempted to divert attention from what had just happened with the other business at hand.

"Elana, do you still want to try and save the cube?"

The device had finally been hoisted onto a cart after several attempts. Laura had warned Mason not to touch it with his bare skin not revealing the details she had discovered earlier when she had done the same. Her broken left hand hurt at every movement she made, her left handedness not helping at all as she instinctively reached for things with it only to get a sharp jolt of pain to remind her to use her right hand. Mason made her set the gun down on the cart and walked behind her as she pushed it with her good hand. His demands irritating her to no end. She felt large pangs of guilt and shame in her stomach, she had been weak giving up so easily after all she had been through. She knew Mason was lying to her when he said they would kill her, they wanted her to come back home to rot in jail or so she could work more on their machines, machines only meant to cause harm to people, the day she had spent in the sub drawing the fish and making notes on what she saw was the day she was most at peace only death could bring that kind of peace back now. But she was to much of coward to kill herself or to face down a gun before her killer pulled the trigger, so she allowed her captor to take her and the very device she wanted to destroy toward the sub docks.

The arrived unharmed at the docks, Mason taking hold of the crane controls and picked up the device readying it for loading into the sub. A remote control loaded up a small cargo area on the sub large enough for the device and the small crane began it's slow movement toward the sub.

Mason suddenly found Laura standing very close in front of him. He stopped the cranes movement in surprise. "Get out of my way Fisher, don't make things worse for yourself than it already is."

"Mason!," Laura cried out attempting to get him to hear her plea, "You can't take this back to Allegheny, it's evil. It will never accomplish what the original science team wanted it to do."

"What do you mean it's evil?" Mason asked wondering what she could be talking about while at the same time restarted the crane's slow movement.

"It spoke to me Mason. It's not of this world, don't be a fool whatever that thing will give us is not worth it. It will only bring suffering and pain in the end." She explained.

Mason pushed her out of his way and Laura fell to the ground. "You are a nut job aren't you? I didn't think the great Doctor Fisher would be such a basket case."

Laura looked down at the floor, she wanted to cry but it would be no use. Mason was trained to have zero emotions while performing his missions. The crane loomed ever closer to the sub, bringing Mason's quarry to it's cargo hold.

Elana looked up at Maksym, defeated and disappointed in herself. Once again her stand seemed to make a bad situation only worse. Perhaps the only good that came out of it was it bought them more time and no one of value had died... yet.

"We have to. It's our duty as scientists to study things to better the world around us. Judging by the testimonies and observations of others, that device would only harm. We need to stop him!"

She stood from her spot and brushed her clothes off, but not wanting to waste any more unnecessary time. Down the hall she ran, hoping Maksym was in hot pursuit. When she reached the docking bay, she was surprised to see the device already on the loading crane, approaching the submarine!

"...be such a basket case."

Elana stood there, watching the box make its way to the submarine. "No! You can't take it!" She paused and looked at Laura, how defeated she was. She really hadn't been the same since she touched that box, especially considering how she had such a bad experience with it she had to be put asleep for a while. "You can't take it... just yet! It's kind of heavy on one side, and if you leave it like that, it might damage the components! Just grab the box and place the heaviest surface face-down!"

Mason looked up with a fury in his eyes, "You should have let it alone mutt. I was gonna let you all live but now you can eat shit." Mason brought his sub machine gun to bear and fired a burst in Elana's direction. The bullets all landed at her feet, "Now get out of here!"

Mason continued putting the device into the sub. "Laura get in the fucking sub we are leaving now!" Laura reluctantly obeyed and started climbing the nearby ladder on the docking mechanism.

The speed with which Elana had responded to him and then jumped into action had caught Maksym slightly off guard and left him in pursuit. It was a less than ideal turn of events. Charging recklessly ahead like that as if she had something to prove, she was going to get herself hurt, and they already had enough casualties as it was.

"Elana, wait!" was all he could manage to blurt out fruitlessly as she took off and forced him to follow in tow. It didn't take long for his worries to be confirmed when he caught up to her just in time to see Mason let loose with a spray of bullets at her feet while coercing Laura to help him leave with the box. Amidst all this chaos he managed to automatically identify and opportunity, and took advantage of Mason's brief preoccupation with the others to train his own pistol on him.

"Let he go!" was the first thing to shout that came to mind. His voice's confidence masked the worries he was actually feeling. It was impossible for him not to notice that all he managed to do was get them into yet another standoff which would probably end as poorly as the last one had. "Take the box if you absolutely have to but she stays here!"

Upon being fired at, Elana jumped backwards and yelped. She managed to watch the last bullet ricochet off the floor, but the one before that was not as lucky. Two of the bullets managed to penetrate the floor, and the soft grinding was definitely an indication of the change of pressure around the wounds. The intense pressure from the water outside would no doubt shoot into the docking bay. It was only a matter of time before such an event would transpire.

But Elana, with her hands moving over herself to see if she was shot, couldn't bring herself to say anything. Once again, she froze up, unable to really speak. It was a difficult adjustment. Back in her training and among scientists, they would listen to her. It must have been different for those who had more of a militarized way of life. The one with the weapon spoke, and everyone listened. There wasn't much else to it.

She looked up at Maksym, but did not know what to say. She could join him in his conviction, but her fears strangled her vocal cords and severed her will. All she could do was look at the menacing man and pray he didn't increase his resolve to shoot them all.
