Starpath: Scoundrels of the Interstellar Highway - Thread 2 - Games

Hariim does as ordered and sets Maddox on the ground, making sure to disarm him of his SMG.

Taylor motions for Mad to step over. "Right here. Come on." she says, pointing to a spot on the floor in front of her. "Lets go."

Maddox falls down the floor and grits his teeth as the pain from his wounded knee flares up. [i][b]"F-F-Fuck!"[/b][/i] He looks up at Taylor and widens his eyes. Right next to her is the creature and its two glowing red eyes which stares into Maddox's soul. An evil grin as red and evil as its two eyes soon appeared. "It's right next you! Why aren't you shooting it!?" Yells Maddox as he attempts to get up, leading him to collapse with a muffled grunt of agony. He flips over and begins to crawl across the floor. "Fuck you buddy! You're not taking me!"

Taylor's expression didn't change. She walked over as he attempted to crawl across the floor, then grabbed him by the arm and flipped him over. A moment later, she grabbed him by the collar, and punched him square in the jaw. Hard.

Maddox started to crawl faster when Taylor grabbed him. As she flipped him over he growled. "Get off of me a-" He was cut short as Taylor punched him. His eyes rolled back and forth. "Captain with all due respect but could you please [b]FUCK OFF!?[/b]" He stares angrily at Taylor while she holds him by the collar. Like the crazed dog he his.

Taylor remained expressionless. She punched him again. In the nose. After that, she released him and stood. "[B][I]GET. THE FUCK. UP.[/I][/B]" she barked down at him, before stepping back. She looked over to Hariim, and politely said "Could you fetch Mercy, please? And have her bring her medical equipment."

Moloch could not believe what was going on outside. He was bouncing up and down in his cell, trying to contain his excitement. Maddox was getting his shit kicked in not just from Hariim, but now from Taylor of all people. And yet he couldn't believe even more that Markus was asleep during all this. [I]"Oh for Allah's sake! Mr. Koval, wake up! You are missing this!"[/I]

Maddox gave Taylor a cold stare and wiped his nose. He got up even though his leg told him to stay the fuck down. The creature was right next to the captain, staring at the wounded gunsmith. He did his best to ignore it. An order was an order. His head twitched unevenly and if Taylor looked close enough she could see in his eyes that this was not the same Maddox which had joined the crew several weeks back. Maddox's nostrils flared up and he gave Taylor a look that could kill.

Taylor noticed the look. She had seen it before. When she trained new troopers back on Pyri II. "Maddox, right now you're acting like the greenest soldier I've ever seen. Hell, you're acting [I]WORSE[/I] than that. You're acting like a fucking [I][B]CHILD.[/B][/I]" She stepped back a bit more, and pointed at the spot on the ground in front of her again. "Front and center, before I come over there and [I][B]beat the living fuck out of you.[/B][/I]"

Maddox twitched again but he did nonetheless take a step forward. The creature was centimeters away from his face. [i]"You are a disgrace to the uniform. End your pathetic life while you still can."[/i] Whispered a dark voice. Maddox ignored it and kept his eyes on Taylor. Although silent, he was far from calm. In his head he was repeating his service number over and over while trying to surpress any other thoughts.

Taylor watched as he approached. The stress of all of this must have fucked him up, but she was going to [I]UNFUCK[/I] him if it was the last thing she did. "Good. Now. Maddox, you're with the SDF, right?" she said. "Defenders of Sol. Proper soldiers, right? Are SDF troopers scared of convicts? Pirates? Whatever he is?" she continued, pointing to Moloch's cell. "[B]NO. THEY'RE NOT. THEY'RE [I]FUCKING SOLDIERS.[/I][/B] [I]BE A FUCKING SOLDIER [B]FOR FUCK'S SAKE.[/B][/I] Don't [I]sneak around at night,[/I] stealing food from the kitchen. Don't [I]cower[/I] in your room, hiding from everyone else in the crew. [I]BE A FUCKING [B]MAN.[/B] BE A FUCKING [B]SOLDIER.[/B][/I]" barked Taylor.

Maddox remained silent as Taylor barked on him. His right eye twitched and blood poured out from his nose. When she had finished Maddox nodded. "Yes ma'am." Inside his head a part of him struggled to stay alive. He glanced towards the creature which only amplified the pain. His gaze returned to Taylor. "Captain I am no longer fit for service. Requesting to be put in the brig." A part of Maddox died that very moment. Slowly his body started to slightly shake uncontrollably. Maddox did his best to remain upright while looking at Taylor.

Taylor grabbed him by the collar, to make sure he stayed up. "And let me explain something else to you, before you're put in the brig. Whatever you're seeing right now? Hallucinating? Its not there. It never WAS there. You're imagining things, and fucking yourself over. Remember that, and [I][B]grow a fucking spine.[/B][/I]" she bluntly stated, before carrying him over, and putting him into one of the empty cells. "You will remain here until you [B]DO[/B] grow a fucking spine. [I][B]Am I understood?[/B][/I]" she stated, looking down at him.

"Yes ma'am." Replied Maddox before sitting down on the floor. He stared at the wall.

"...I'll check on you every so often, alright?" she said, her tone a bit softer now. She then shut the door and locked it. She looked to Frosty's cell. "Don't worry. You two gave yourselves up willingly. The only thing I'm going to tell you is that if you do it again, you stay in those cells longer. Understood? And when you get out, you're making up Maddox's room. You trashed it, you fix it...also, who the fuck pissed on Mad's mattress?"

You trashed it, you fix it..."[/quote] Frosty was shaken from the brutal physical and verbal beatdown Maddox recieved, and was scared he would receive the same treatment. Relieved, he spoke: "We'll d-do it..." [QUOTE]"...also, who the fuck pissed on Mad's mattress?"[/QUOTE] "Wh-wh... [I]What?[/I]" Frosty stared blankly at Taylor with eyes wide open. Someone [I][B]pissed[/B][/I] on his mattress? "Captain, we just searched his things! I didn't do that, I swear!" He looked over to where Moloch's cell was. "Moloch... [I]did you do that!?[/I]" The thought of the prospects of someone going inside Maddox's already torn apart room and urinating actually shocked Frosty, but Moloch found it very funny. His signature laugh could be heard from his cell. [I]"Did I just hear that? Maddox's mattress was urinated upon?"[/I]

"Yeah, someone pissed on his mattress. So it was either one of you two or Markus...and I'm leaning towards Markus." she said, stepping back from the cells.

[I]"Well, Captain. As Mr. Frosty said, we did indeed break into his cabin and searched his belongings for wherever his surveillance gadgets may be. But we did not do... [B]that[/B]. [B]That[/B] is simply obscene. Neither of us are even capable of the function."[/I]

"...Right. Anyway, you'll be in there for a few days, and I'll let you out after that. Same with Markus, but he'll be in there a bit longer." stated Taylor. She then looked to Hariim. "Nevermind that Mercy request. I'll go get her. Resume your duties." she stated. She gathered her armor, then took it to the Armory before heading to Mercy's cabin. "Mercy. You're needed in the brig. Maddox is wounded." stated Taylor, standing outside of Mercy's cabin.

Markus grunted and awoke slowly. He went to lean through the bars and looked over to Taylor, "Watch your clever mouth, capn" "So yer gonna use him to spy?" he said and looked over to Maddox, "If ya look at 'im now, I don' even know if there anyone at 'ome." he said with a chuckle. Taylor ignored him and exited the brig. Maddox had been put in the cell furthest away from Moloch, Frosty and Markus. He whistled a low tune towards Maddox cell, "Yer in the trap now, ya rat. Welcome to the bars, mate." he shouted with a hearty laugh.

:snip:

Hariim nods and heads back to the bridge to begin his watch.

Mercy groaned as she heard Taylor knocking on her door. She got up out of bed and grabbed a handy medical satchel from under her bed. She shoved on a pair of boots and got up, walking out down to the brig. Once arriving, she looked around. Moloch, Frosty, Markus and Maddox in the cells, and blood staining the floor. She gave a simple, light-hearted whistle. "Well, seems like zhere is quite a story to tell for all of zhis, zhen."

Taylor followed Mercy to the brig. "Yes. And its a long story. For now, just tend to Mad's injuries." said Taylor. She then stepped over to Markus' cell and looked in. "Yanim wants to use him as a spy. And as for if he's still all there upstairs? Personally, I think he's still in there." she said, looking around the cell. She then locked eyes with Markus. "By the way...if you touch him when you two finally get out of these cells? We'll continue our fight in the hallway...[I]and I'll break [B]every fucking bone[/B] in your body.[/I]"

Markus raised his arms with an amused expression no his face, "Ooh the rat has to get his mommy to take care o' the bad guys." he said in a mocking voice. He crossed his arms and grinned at Taylor, "I don't need to off someone who looks like they're gonna do it themselves any second now."

Taylor rolled her eyes, then looked over in Mad's cell before looking back at Mercy.

[QUOTE=jugerbro;51433335]Jason stands at the front of Amelia's door, Jason knocked on her door and waited for her to open it.[/QUOTE] Amelia opened the door after getting up from her comfortable beanbag, "What's up?" she greets with her eyes half open.

Jason looks up from his wrist monitor and sees Amelia "Hey Amelia. can you do me a favor?"

"Seems like zhinks are heated in here." Mercy says, whistling a tune and walking into Mad's cell, turning him over onto his back and inspecting his body. "Right-right... dislocated wrist and a gunshot wound in zhe leg..." Mercy told herself, deciding to deal with the easy thing first, grabbing Maddox's arm in one hand, and his hand in another.
