Sector 51

Part 5: Escape from Hauximna

Harvax stared at me calmly as he pressed the button on the rod. He wasn't shaking. He looked to the side at his computer console and back at me.

"Well." He paused "That... Was unprecedented."

A wave of guilt fell over me as he slowly tried to get up.

"Just." He coughed as a maroon blood seeped down him. "If you meet a Hauxim man named Zervas."

I motioned to pull the rod out.

"I'm sorry." I said.

He looked at me silently "I never got him out." A tear fell down his face as he relaxed his head onto the ground

I slowly began to pull the rod out of his chest as blood drained onto the floor.

"Don't bother," He went silent for a moment "Tell Zervas I'm sorry, for not being there."

I held my hand over the wound. "I should've just let you do whatever you wanted to do."

Harvax was staring at me with remorse. "No, we shouldn't have messed with humanity again,"

I turned away. "Was Zervas close to you?" I looked back at him.

Harvax nodded "Yeah, he's my..."

Harvax closed his eyes. I grabbed the taser-rod and stood up. the door was open. I walked out, this was going to be messy. These guys won't react like I do to the taser-rod so I need to stun them some other way, I'm not going to do what I did to Harvax with any of these people.

From the door there were three corridors each labeled in a strange letter. I chose the middle one because I heard voices down it. The walls were a dark gray and had black veins flowing through it. When I arrived at the other end of the corridor I was met by a room of scientists wearing dark black lab coats with goggles. When I entered the room they all looked towards me and began to speak to each other, once reached onto the desk and pulled out a taser-rod. I sprinted towards him as the rest backed away. The scientist swung at me a bit too early, I went straight over his taser and hit his head with the butt of my taser-rod. He fell to the ground, getting up he backed away. Another two picked up taser rods but backed off as I glared at them. The scientists began to whisper again.

"Hello," I spoke out. "I'm Stephen, do you happen to know how I can go back to Earth?"

They looked at me with confusion. They couldn't understand English.

"Erm..." I paused "E.T phone home?"

Several burst out laughing. I looked around

"You think Harvax didn't teach us English?" 

I stepped backwards and clutched the taser-rod.

"But... Harvax can't teach anyone anymore, can he?"

Seven of the C6 robots moved into the room I flipped the taser-rod to the electrical side. These guys don't count as sentient beings.

"Protocol 7" Said a scientist.

The robots motioned towards me. I knew where to aim, and if I lost the taser-rod I would do what I did last time. One zoomed towards me and I punctured its metal shell as it sparked and deactivated.

The scientists began openly talking.

"So barbaric..."

I looked at them silently, they were quietly watching me fight robots. If that's not barbaric I don't know what barbaric is. 

I zapped 3 more of the C6 Robots, they didn't stand a chance. I stood over the 4 robot shells as the scientists looked at me again

"We have alerted the Government of Hauximna of your crime."

I stepped backwards and in the blink of an eye two robots were forcing me against the wall. I was kicking furiously desperately trying to break free of their metallic grip. I wasn't strong enough, even in low gravity. One of the robots grabbed the taser-rod and handed it to the scientist that originally spoke to me.

"Did you know Harvax is the governor of Lycho?"

I didn't know what Lycho was.

"Where's Lycho?"

The scientist pointed up. 

"It's a moon."

I nodded as I ripped the wires of a robots arm.

The Scientist jogged towards me with the taser-rod. He thrust it towards my chest as I fell beneath the robot.

"Hey man! I just want to get home."

The scientist ducked down and thrust at me again. The rod scraped my back as I fell into another spasm. The scientist walked backwards keeping a close watch on me. The went to a microphone and spoke into it in a strange language. Suddenly four Hauxim with the same silver armor walked into the room each holding a gun of sorts. They looked at the scientist as he pointed to me and they nodded.

They walked towards me as the scientist boastfully spoke out

"Stephen Damien, Test Subject two you are under arrest for the murder of Dr. Harvax."

I stared at him as the silver-clad Hauxim dragged me off the floor and out of the room. He looked at me devilishly and spoke out:

"Have fun at Sectum 51."
