Sub-Basement Level 30

The naked woman sat alone in the darkness, the room was a perfect ten foot by ten foot cube with a single heavy steel door bolted firmly shut. She sat on a metal chair eyes closed seemingly oblivious to her surroundings. Locked away in her own personal darkness which made the dark of the room pale in comparison.
Then eight floors up a large B.O.W. roared in triumph, the sound was inaudible to human ears but she heard it she felt it through her feet, every part of her sensed it.

The woman raised her head and opened her eyes, they were jet black souless orbs and she stared at the door waiting for her operating system to re-activate

A familiar, comforting, yet somehow distant voice suddenly entered the Black Queen's mind.

"My little one.... You have awakened..... I am glad I found you..... it is time.... Time for me to fulfill my obligation to you, while I am still able to.... Please, come to me...."

Her eyelids fluttered and just for a second her eyes became normal white with blue iris' as the black retreated to the pupil in the center almost as quickly as it happened her eyes reverted to solid black as her system continued to compile data.

Her eyes lit up glowing an unearthly red.....

Affirmative....Combat mode engaged.........

She rose from the chair and strode towards the wall next to the heavy steel door. The concrete wall was three feet thick and reinforced, she raised a hand and made a fist.

A loud crashing bang echoed around Sub-basement level 30 and Karl the security guard raised his eyes from the book he was reading. I should most likely go investigate that, he thought to himself rising from his chair flashlight in hand.

TBQ blow didn't shatter the wall, it didn't cause its collapse, or make the door pop from it's hinges. It did however create a small crack in the concrete wall, ever so small, almost unnoticeable.

Karl stared at the small puddle of black viscous liquid that formed at the foot of the crack, he lifted his walkie talkie and keyed the mic.
"Uhm control, looks like we have a burst pipe down here, request a clean up squad"
As he spoke behind him a naked raven haired women was rising up from the black puddle, TBQ looked the guard up and down before asking "Are you hostile?"

Karl spun around to face her, a look of confusion on his face, a naked girl, what was she doing down here? Then he saw her burning red eyes, in a flash he leveled his MP5 on her midrift and opened fire emptying the full clip into her.

The black liquids that splashed off her with each bullet impact simply pooled around her feet and was absorbed back into her "I'll take that as a yes" and with that she tore Karl apart. Whilst still rebooting she wasn't able to feed or to take others over her basic urge was a simple one.

Escape........Escape.......Escape.......

"Hey whats going on down there?" Came the first radio response. "Respond!" states the Commander's tone again. After a few moments passed, the man's voice was heard on an open channel. "Code Yellow. B30 Sentries converge upon Karl's last known location. Assess the situation and report back to HQ on any developments." The deep tone finished.

She picked up the radio and inspected the device turning it around in her hand before looking up and down the corridor

...Locate exit...

...Affirmative...

...Initiate infiltration mode...

And with that she turned into a perfect copy of Karl and began to walk down the corridor towards the sound of running footsteps.

Three sentries, two male one female paused at the sight of Karl, seemingly unharmed. They lowered their weapons and let out a sigh of relief. "Wow, Karl you gave us a scare." said the woman. The man on her left cocked an eyebrow under his balaclava. "So why didn't you answer man?" He said as he approached 'Karl'.

The Karl avatar raised the radio device and showed it to the three armed guards ahead of TBQ all the time she was moving closer to them reducing the gap. "Karl" shrugged and shook the device giving the impression it was broken. The one mistake TBQ had made in killing Karl was not giving him time to speak, she had no idea what he should sound like, but soon it wouldnt matter she would be close enough to strike.

...Targets acquired...

...Threat assessment...

She scanned their weapons, 9mm machine guns would be an irritation at worse.

...Threat assessment...Zero...

She took two more steps towards them smiling reassuringly and preparing to strike

The other sentry felt a cold chill run up his spine and he took a step back instinctively. The woman turned to him questioningly, his face pale and expressing unease. "Charlie...whats wrong?" she asked. Charlie shook his head and shrugged. "I...I don't know. Something doesn't seem right-"

Then suddenly all of their radio's went off, including Karls.

"B30 team, whats your situation, have you located Karl yet?" Command asked.

Right then and there, the three looked at Karl with suspicion. "Karl...your radio...why didn't you answer?!"

Karl stopped smiling but continued to approach the three guards in silence, the one who had taken a step back would be more difficult but the other male and the woman would be easy. TBQ raised her arm and pointed at the man and woman watching their surprised and confused expressions she knew this was going to be easier than it had any right to be.

...Initiate attack protocol...

From "Karl's" hand two thick black tendrils shot out wrapping around the necks of the man and woman gripping them with a vice like strength. Contact with TBQ's nanites sealed both their fates in an instant, her tendrils forced their way into her victim's mouths silencing their cries and she turned her attention to the third man. He could not be allowed to communicate to others.

...Initiate target control...

...Targets reprogrammed...

It took mere seconds to take control of the bodies she know held.


...Eliminate hostile target...

The female guard turned and leveled her gun at the third guard, a split second later the other guard did the same the man who had backed away was left with a choice of opening fire on "Karl" or his two companions.

The man tensed his body up, the three comrades ahead of him had black wormy things swimming around their eyes, making them appear partially black. "Stay back!!" He warns. "I'll shoot!" He adds, hitting his back against the wall and he shoulders the nine millimeter MP5K. The elevator behind him was just returning up to the top level; he could recall it, but by the time it returned to this floor he'd be certainly already dead. His hands already firm and gripped onto his weapon, he could'nt risk reaching for the radio to report in either; for the same reasons as the lift. Seeing no other option he narrows his eyes. "Forgive me Father...for I will sin." He says to himself in a small, harsh tone before he pulls back the trigger.

Ratatatatatatatatatatatatatata!

The weapon rattled to life, spraying hot chunks of lead into the three approaching comrades turned targets. The FMJ's tore into their flesh and the man behind the gun screams like Sylvester Stallone in Rambo. "I'm SORRRY!!!" he cries, yellow muzzle flash illuminating his palid face and wide eyes under his ski mask; tears stream down his terrified green eyes. When the gun runs empty, the man is shaking and begins to softly rant before falling to his knees: "My name is Jake Tanner...I am victorious...my skills are sharp, and my training is perfect. My name is Jake Tanner...I am a survival expert. I have surpassed my brother, who is dead and is in 'Heaven'. My name...is Jake Tanner..." he continues to chant, his wide eyes starring down at blood that pools on the ground, not registering it fully with his wide and crazed gaze; continuing to chant relentlessly under that olive drab hood.

She dropped the bodies of the male and female guards, both were riddled with bullets and no longer any use to her. The "Karl" avatar had served its purpose and was discarded as with with a fluid motion she returned to her default form. Her body seemed to shimmer in the half light of the corridor as its surface was covered in a sheen of living black latex.

...Threat assessment?...

She approached the remaining guard slumped against the wall and ranting to himself.

...Threat zero.zero...

With black eyes she starred down on him her previously bullet riddled body unmarked by his attack, her expression one of lofty indifference, like an god standing over a pious worshiper.

...Terminate target?...

...Negative...

...?...

...Warn the maker...

...We are back...

She stooped towards Jake Tanner her lips hovering inches from his ear she whispered.
"There will be no forgiveness, there will be no survival, ALL will pay for their sins! Tell your masters, tell them I AM COMING!"

...Override security protocol...

As she spoke she placed a hand on the lift control panel, it ground to a halt and reversed its course heading back down to sub-basement 30. She stepped away from the man and entered the lift, reaching up to tear the security camera from it's mount allowing the doors to close before she once more morphed, this time melting against the inside of the lift making a perfect if slightly smaller version of it in which to ride to FREEDOM!

As TBQ made her way to her 'freedom', a panel on the ceiling of the lift slid sideways, and a small camera fitted with a medium sized machinegun aimed down at her.

"Go Back. Go Back Where You Came From." stated the computer like voice. A light on the side of the camera started glowing red and the machinegun fitted onto the camera started to revolve-before sending a hail of bullets down upon her!

The bullets impacted her body sending her sprawling against the side of the lift before she slumped to the floor as round after round impacted her splashes of black instead of red blood pluming from each impact. She lay motionless until the gun ceased firing and then without warning her seemingly lifeless body surged up towards the hatch smashing the gun to one side and tearing it from its mounts. She torn the roof of the lift apart ripping through the metal as though it was paper. The formless black ooze surged up the cables leaping and bouncing off the walls intent only on reaching the surface!
