*DIS Base. Karen perks her head up as Warren walks back in. She now has a puncture mark on her neck and has been changed into a tank top and shorts - forcibly, as is evidenced by the bruising on her biceps and calfs. Warren calls down the drone and places a vial into its hypo system.*
Warren: Time for your third injection.
Karen *anxiety*: Please... Please, I've done nothing to you!
Warren: True... But I'm afraid you're simply too good a candidate, for so many reasons.
Now, I'm afraid this injection, unlike the last two, is going to hurt. A lot.
*The drone flies over to Karen, who turns her head away protectively.*
Karen *scared, creeping towards panic*: No... No! Please, no!
*She gasps as the drug is injected, grunting as it starts to augment her DNA, before screaming in agony as Warren leaves.*
*HK is already heading towards the nearest transporter*
HK: Statement: I cannot allow my master to stay in their clutches.
Spider: Hey, hold on a second!
*He picks up Cartridge as he wakes up.*
Good morning! You have an appointment.
Cartridge: Oh, come on man! Give me a break!
Spider: I don't have time for this, Herbert. Who hired you?
Cartridge: What?
Spider: You really expect me to believe you came up with the plan to kidnap the PM's granddaughter? C'mon, Herbert, you're not that smart.
Cartridge: Yes I am! I'm very smart!
Spider: You couldn't even break into a skimmer before I caught you.
Cartridge: Hey, that was--!
Spider: Who?!
*Cartridge folds his arms in defiance. Spider tosses him towards HK.*
HK: Statement: Initiating Torture protocols. *There's a strange whine noise coming from him now and he grabs Cartridge and begins emitting an agony field much like those used in the mirror universe*
*One of the guards leads him through the village towards a large ancient structure. The villagers give curious looks at them as they pass by. The building is significantly higher tech than the actual village and has a forcfield and bulkhead doors blocking the way. They open up as the guard gets near. Inside the building is beautiful almost like an artificial park with waterfalls and strange alien plants dotting the area. Metal paths lead the way to other rooms but the guard follows the biggest one leading them to a strange chamber almost like an observatory with holograms of other landscapes dotting the walls instead of windows. And elderly looking Rakatan is sitting in a chair writing in a book.*
Elder: *Has the same untranslatable yet understandable language* What do you need my child?
Guard: These people say they've come here because the infernal one has broken free.
Elder: I suppose it was inevitable that someone would interfere with his prison and release him. Our people don't remember much of our past but he is one thing we have always kept in memory.
Elder: It was countless eons ago that our race imprisoned him even we couldn't stop him. It took our greatest armies to subdue him. Unfortunately we don't have any records of that time here anymore. They were lost in one of the many wars the plague our tribes. However there may be some still left in the temple... But I can't allow you in there. The force field is impenetrable. Perhaps if you would help us out...

HK: Statement: Initiating Torture protocols. *There's a strange whine noise coming from him now and he grabs Cartridge and begins emitting an agony field much like those used in the mirror universe*
Cartridge *screaming*: Okay! Okay!
She said she worked for something called DIS! That's all I know, I swear!
*DIS Base. Karen has been released remotely and is shaking on the floor with adrenaline. It's been an hour since her last injection. As she tries to control her adrenaline, one of the Tara clones steps in from outside.*
Archangel: Get up.
*Karen picks herself up, glaring at the girl about her age.*
You want to hit me right now, don't you? It's taking every ounce of strength you have to resist that anger.
*She takes an open stance, clenching her fists.*
Don't.
*Karen roars out as she charges her, the two locking up and smashing each other against the wall before the Archangel gains the upperhand and pins her with an arm across the collar.*
That all you've got?
*Karen grunts before shoving her back with so much strength the Archangel has to roll to stop herself.*
HK: Statement: I am aware of the DIS. Initiating Hunter Killer protocols. Processing..... Removing restraining programs. *His eyes change from yellow to red and there's a click as he finishes* It is decided then. The meatbags shall die. *he tosses cartridge aside and begins heading for the nearest transporter again his movements a tad more fluid now.*
OoC: Originally HK was a robot built to be the ultimate assassin. But as he passed through different owners his programming changed a bit. He became loyal to his owner to a fault but to those he didn't like they would find themselves at the centers of "unfortunate" accidents. He has restraints built in like his speech mechanism that forces him to describe what he says and inhibitors for his movement. For the most part he doesn't mind the restraints due to the challenge they bring as he chases down targets but he is capable of turning them off for exceptionally difficult targets.
He would've killed cartridge but he let him live due to cartridge being more of Spider's target so to speak.

Spider: Hold on. Do you have an exact location? Because I know someone who can help if you don't.
*DIS Base. Karen and the Archangel are brawling ferociously, with Karen nailing her opponent with a combo of straight kicks, Archangel catching the last as it aims for her head before taking Karen down and locking her in a headscissors mount. Karen rolls her off, the two getting to their knees before locking up and starting to lay into each other with heavy punches. Karen catches one and pulls Archangel into a cross-shoulder armbar, Archangel's arm creaking as she cries out in pain, before the two get to their feet and start circling each other.*
HK: Very well. I suppose we can meet this friend of yours.
*2 hours later (bringing them in-line with events with Karen), they're meeting an older man in a small hi-tech compound in the suburbs. The man his greying hair, but is clearly in good health. His room is decorated with a variety of archery-based weapons.*
Spider: We know the base is somewhere on the Halsar continent, but not much more than that.
Hawk: DIS did operate a base on Halsar, but it was shut down decades...
Wait. Cap said he noticed some suspicious activity in Dalra Crater. Could be DIS.
HK: Very well. I suppose we can meet this friend of yours.

*DIS Base. Karen delivers a sharp middle kick, Archangel responding with a straight kick to the face. Karen regains her balance, spearing into Archangel and letting off a ground-and-pound, laying into Archangel before she reverses the situation, rolling on top and returning the favour.*
