[Naked Crook]

Meanwhile: Barrabus busted through the door, and entered the command center. He saw Dangerus, and his pack, fighting with the Trust marines. The Trust marines were moving back, right into Barrabus's position. Barrabus gripped his hammer as he charged into the fray, and slammed his Gravity Hammer down to the ground, scattering The Marines around the room, breaking their cohesion. The Honor Guards moved forward. Cerberus began to sweep across the room with his Plasma Cannon, cutting down any unfortunate Marine who did not retreat into cover. Arcturus knew better than to fire off his Flak Cannon in this room, as he knew that this was their primary objective, and he needed to avoid damaging anything that might be of value. Instead, he simply relied on his own ferocity and strength, to beat down enemy combatants with his bare hands. With coordinated fire from Krysus and Scorpius, as well as Dangerus and his Brutes, the room had been cleared of most of the hostile personnel. The only Trust presence left alive, was one Officer, and several Marines, along with a few R&D personnel. These last few individuals were behind cover, in the farthest part of the room, cornered, with nowhere to go. Barrabus held up his hand to signal the others to stop firing. He holstered his Gravity Hammer onto his back, and he waited a moment, allowing what was left of the Trust to compose itself, and to say anything, if there was anything to say. Barrabus could hear one of those people breathing, so he knew that someone was alive back there. However, he grew tired of waiting. Before long, he stepped forward, towards where the last of the Trust personnel were hiding. He grabbed the metal shield that they were behind, and simply tossed it aside with one hand. The Two marines stood up, and raised their weapons, but Barrabus knocked them both to the side, with one swift backhand. He brushed them aside, as if they were nothing. The Officer looked up at Barrabus, and simply dropped his gun. Trust Officer: Alright...you win... Barrabus grabbed the Officer by the neck, and lifted him into the air. He was not squeezing hard enough to prevent the Officer from talking, but he was holding the officer firmly enough so as to prevent him from escaping. Barrabus: Why are you on my planet? Trust Officer: That is for us to know... Barrabus: That was not the answer I wanted. I will ask one more time. Why are you on my planet!? Trust Officer: Go to hell...I'll never tell you, and you will never find out. I doubt you have the capability to even figure any of this stuff out. This is not your technology. You may understand how that Covenant shit works...but as far as our tech goes...I doubt you guys are resourceful enough, or patient enough, to figure it out. Barrabus partially nodded. Barrabus: Perhaps you are right...or perhaps you underestimate just how..."resourceful"...we can be...rather...how resourceful I am... Barrabus tossed the officer towards Krysus. Krysus caught the Officer with his left hand, and held him by the scruff of his Uniform. Barrabus approached the large holotable in the center of the room. Tyber: Disconnect me from your armor... Barrabus lifted his left are, and turned to look at his wrist. He pressed a small button located near his wrist, and a small data crystal chip ejected from a seemingly well hidden slot. He grabbed the chip, using his index finger and thumb, and placed it into the holo table. Trust Officer: What are you doing! Stop at once! Barrabus ignored the Trust officer, as he activated the data chip. After a moment, Tye appeared on the holotable. Barrabus: Tye...do your thing... Tyber: Already on it. I am currently disseminating through their network. Trust Officer: An AI...big deal. In a matter of seconds- Tyber: In a matter of seconds what? Were you going to say that in a matter of seconds...the three seperate AIs currently in this system were going to converge on me, and purge me from the network? Is that what you were going to say? Tye held out his hand. There were three separate lights in his hand. Tyber: Are these the AI's you were hoping would purge my program!? Is this your best? Is this all you got? I would expect much better from The Trust! Tye closed his palm, and the three lights exploded into small flickers of light. Tyber: If I had the time...I would tear these AIs apart, line by line, subroutine by subroutine...but I think I will simply shut them down for now...and let ONI do the honors. Got anything else for me? Got any more tricks up your sleeve, asshole? The Trust Officer was speechless. Tyber: Yeah...I thought so...asshole! Barrabus laughed. Trust Officer: Stop...you are not authorized to access our network! Barrabus grunted. Krysus threw the Officer across the room, back to Barrabus. Barrabus caught the Officer. He glared at the Trust Officer. Barrabus: Are you...ordering me...to stop? The Trust Officer was silent. Barrabus: I asked you a question. Are you ordering me to stop? Yes...or no!? Trust Officer: Yes... Barrabus winced. He began to growl. However...he calmed himself down. He tossed the Officer back to Krysus. Barrabus: Gather up the prisoners. Cell them up on my flagship. Put them in the same holding block where we cage the fighting beasts. Put them between cells. Make sure they get to feel what the claws of some of our most deadliest predators feels like on their...brittle flesh... Cerberus nodded. Cerberus: Yes CHieftain...it will be done! Cerberus led the Honor Guards out of the command center, with The Trust Officer, and the other prisoners in the room. Barrabus then began to laugh. Barrabus: I can already smell their fear...
