Korie simply watched as Lorenzo shot Ian, flinching as each bullet made contact with his flesh. They just watched as the new squad leader Sigma picked up Ian and followed behind Lorenzo... but they knew that they were never going to make it to the Med-bay; Lorenzo was never going to take them to it. That would be something far, far too kind of him to do. No, knowing the XO, he was going to probably take them someplace where he was going to break Ian even further...
"Good luck, Ian..." muttered Korie as the promptly walked out of the room and headed to their personal quarters.
_____________________________________________________
Lorenzo led Sigma passed the Medbay, and down many, many hallways that it was almost like a maze. They passed checkpoint after checkpoint, and security after security until eventually they reached a place that was entirely dark... and suddenly- Sigma would find that a strange man was suddenly lifting Ian from her and strapping him to a chair in the middle of the room that was barely lit.
"There you are, Cedric! So, how is everything going today? Is he doing well?" asked Lorenzo as he promptly looked over some files at a nearby desk.
"If by well, you mean quiet and motionless... then yes, he's doing perfectly well... So, we got another one who's going to be given to it as a meal?" asked the strange blue haired man as he finished fully strapping in Ian.
"Hm... That depends, we do need this one alive since he's part of the project."
"Oh... is that so. What about the girl? Is she a snack too?" murmured Cedric as he nodded nonchalantly at Sigma.
"Ah, she's with me. She's technically his superior... Squad leader. I brought her here as a gift."
"Oh," Cedric then promptly took out a gun and pointed it at Sigma as if to shoot.
"She's safe you idiot. Irina would be upset if you killed her... Er, sort of. Seriously, you're more of a nuisance then this guy," Lorenzo smacked Ian a bit, making sure he was awake to listen. "Hope your awake buddy, because you and your Squad Leader are going to experience something fantastic!"
"Fantastic indeed..." murmured Cedric as he holstered his gun and returned to a panel, speaking in his monotone voice. "I think he can smell the blood. Fresh wounds, I take it?"
"I did just shoot him a few minutes ago."
"Sounds just like something you would do, Lorenzo... Let me guess, you pointed something out to them, they got snippy, and you decided to show just how powerless they were?"
"Pretty much," laughed Lorenzo as he shrugged.
"Kids, am I right? Oh, this is interesting, he's getting active... far more than usual."
"Well, this is a first... Alright then. Initiate protocol Horus Alpha along with life support, I don't want Ian dying at all," Lorenzo began to speak as he walked behind him looking at a distant figure that is chained, muzzled, and skewered with wires and tubes, "You're going to feel a little, pinch..." murmured Lorenzo as needles from the chair suddenly began to pierce themselves into Ian's back and make their way to his heart, along with a couple going into his brain.
"Horus Alpha complete. Life Support at 100%. Shall I initiate any-?"
"No, I want to hear him scream," grinned Lorenzo. "Also, take his muzzle off, and release his restraints by... say... 20%, allow him to at least be able to break a few things if he needs to."
"Someone is feeling sadistic today..."
"No. I just hate kids who don't know their place is all... Oh, and make sure Sigma doesn't interfere, she needs to know what'll happen if the rest of her squad doesn't shape up either."
"Roger," Cedric glared at Sigma before taking aim at Sigma in case she tried to do anything, before pressing something on the panel. "He's released."
A loud clankechoed from the dark hall, before a mechanical roar and clang could be heard... then a bang before a stampeding sound as the sounds of chains flailing about could be heard as well. Then, it could be seen. Flesh, molded and burnt against metal with scars from what looked like the ends of syringes protruding from crevices against sores from its eyes as it leaped onto Ian, shouting with a blood curdling roar at his face. The lower half of it is entirely machine and rusted, while one arm is 'flesh-like', the other isn't, part of it's face is mutated from countless experiments, though, from one point... this thing used to be humanoid maybe.
No. This thing... this thing isn't a human...
...deep down... you know what is is... you've heard tales and stories about them... but you've never seen one up close with all of its raw metal exposed...
...a Cruxi.
Almost immediately the Cruxi grips Ian's broken legs, and squeezes down tight, before licking the blood and biting down on his legs flesh, eating and devouring with its razor like teeth little by little before it is suddenly yanked back by the harpooned chains attached to it- although, due to its sharp tight teeth, it is still able to take with it a large chunk of Ian's thigh before being forced back quite a bit.
Hungrily, the Cruxi devours its petty snack before turning upon its full course meal with blood oozing from its rancid teeth, wanting to eat more.
"I think he likes you Ian... Again, Cedric."
The Cruxi is freed once more, and this time he is left to bite a larger chunk of his leg... except he bites hard as the sound of bone breaking and being crushed can easily be heard underneath its mighty jaws as he wraps his hands on Ian's foot, crushing it within his hands.
"We will be at this for quite a while... oh, and don't even think about dying, I wont let you," murmured Lorenzo as he smiled to himself as he folded his arms behind his back.
"Good luck, Ian..." muttered Korie as the promptly walked out of the room and headed to their personal quarters.
