The Aegis robot shifted.. it flared a luminescence across it and Sienzu knew straight away what that meant. 
She raised her arm and fired.. the flash from the weapon hit the neck collar blowing off the head.
It flew to one side.. the energy across it died back as it stumbled forward and fell into the sea.. “You have to realize” She mutters. it appears NOT to be carrying a weapon..
IT is one of the most powerful of iMobots Most weapons will do nothing to it. If I had hesitated it would have shielded itself.. Most weapons would be useless against it..
Its power lies within it cromor casing. The way the mechanism is put together the tendons as we might know them, titanium based and protected from external damage.. the limbs ?
You do not want a hug from that thing.. Crush most forms with ease.. bones, tissue, even metal structures. Steel plate crumpled like tin foil.
One swipe from its fist.. will leave its victims dead or dying.
The Murmui looked at each other.Sienzu ignored them to continue.
“When it goes into hostile mode I can read its intentions. It would NOT have killed us.. its purpose was to eliminate them.
Thankfully Aegis have still not realized how advanced our means for detecting hostile intent but also that our weapons are highly advanced. It is illegal, for any of their ‘products’ to carry any weapons. Hence NO iClone carries them.
That thing, Brute force and think you can run from it.. IT runs.. and at speed.. Another reason for targeting it in the water.. that slows it down..” “Aegis.?” “They will claim it malfunctioned. Even if it killed.. OR that we had somehow hacked its systems with the intention of getting revenge on the Mermui for destroying the rigs.”
They watched as the Mermui moved towards the water to vanish into its dephs.. “I will report the incident to my command but that is automatically transmitted the moment I go to use any of my weapons.. ALL data is communicated to them.
Means Aegis in this instance cannot challenge my responses. “
Aegis had been made aware of all that had transpired. The fury was more than evident as its bosses were now deciding on how they would recover the bot AND seek another means to get some revenge.. The future meeting between the Mermui and the Arcan was due to take place.
A subterranean base had been selected for the meeting. Aegis would wait and at the right time target the base.
Destroying it and those in attendance. The all powerful, omnipotent Ai entity had made that decision.
Yie, this alien being, was beyond its comprehension and what it did not understand, or, was privy to knowing, where it came from OR its purpose, for being here apart from aiding the Mermui?
Symp, had realized, the problem from the cavern, to use the outer escape route, was proving to be impossible.
In short, dangerous, weapons fired were forming a tracer pattern that was all too clear. As for ?. 
Those skiite crawlers were unknown to her BUT their appearance as she dodged the weapons fire was clearly one of some agility. Claws that dug into the wall to allow them to start climbing.
Her Vistage was and could give some protection but one wrong move that saw it struck by weapons fire.. in the WRONG place was NOT GOOD.. in fact it could be fatal.
NOT that she was scared. Scaredy cat she was not..
What she lacked in caution was often rewarded in seeing her get through AND survive some hair raising moments.
Then she remembered WHY she was wearing the mask.. Methane gas.. impregnated walls.. She removed some of the flash grenades to strap two together before leaning out and dropping them into the abyss below..
Starting to count.. before the bright flash of light and then it happened.. The outer area lit up with a wall of flame.
If hell was hot, red hot this was methane gas that torched everything in close proximity not only to those flash grenades but the fact that the entire wall, no walls were on fire..
She stared for a moment taking in the sight of that wall of flame. Damm that was a sight to see.. to take in.. well not so much take in..
IT was time, as the flame died back, to make her move..
She swung out on the little bit of ledge to fire the anchor into the hole above her..
Moving at some speed to now climb up.. NO weapons fire from below.. In fact had she looked down she would have seen a pile of dead ?!
Those skitite creatures, had fallen on the ones firing weapons, to literally flatten them. If rage had a noise then this was a roar of sheer fury.. Reaching the top and moving beyond the opening the movement away from the area directly above the recess where the statue had been ..?
Now the explosion rocked the chamber. A collapse of the massive granite rocks that now fell to completely block the statue. Even if the Portei Semperu was activated, it would be useless as an effective exit OR entry terminal.
Nodu had been right. IT could not be destroyed. NO damage to it..
Nodu had seen her escape and had felt no empathy re any real emotion BUT he was still sensing some degree of relief AND as a pair they had managed to achieve some good results. True Symp was not fully aware of the relevance re that statue and its purpose as a portal ..
How she felt at getting onto the ground above in one piece outweighed any and probably, ALL of her current aspirations.
Simply removing the mask and those bulky filters to breathe in, hmm fresh air.. it was thinner.. high altitude and though she did not have any problems re that she was desiring to leave the area..
The Matsupa had realized too what had just transpired. Revenge was on its if it had a; mind. Over two thirds of its Zealot force had been destroyed.. A small amount of little consideration, it was how they had been destroyed.
The ones that had fallen into that cavern from the trap.. OK.. but the others.
That primitive who IT suspected had been aided by? A higher intelligence. NOT Omini. but still having the power to be a threat to ITs purposes here? Aware of the Galacia Federa craft in space.. Detection was not a good thing.
Pure unadulterated hatred existed between the Omini and the Matsupa.
They were sworn to kill ANY of the Matsupa or its Zealots. NO mercy. They hunted them. IF they now discovered the presence of them on Solus 3 (Earth)? The Matsupa Goddess, did not have the power of a Jin.. ITs powers were ancient and powerful to be reckoned with by any other.. but NOT the Omini..
A Jin had the powers of the ancients the Gods of creation and could destroy an Omini BUT NOT an OMINI I..
note the exra I.. THEY had ENHANCED powers gifted by the Gods of creation to see any Jin destroyed.
Jin were liars, cheats and re most races.. lethal. adversaries BUT, if they realized an OMINI I was present, they made a hasty retreat.. 
Telling Symp to drop down the far side of that mound. she waited as a craft appeared at low height and unseen by the Matsupa.. to land and as they stepped out of the craft Symp smiled..
The twins.. Kerft. Now ushered her aboard to take off and return back to the main mountain plateau the far side of a mountain range and completely out of sight of most.
The Ai entity could also not detect their presence. For good reason.
They were there at an encampment With over 500 Human(a) who were armed and there for one purpose.
Training. The force would be used to attack the Ai Entity, when they discovered its hiding place.. found the key.. ah that dammed key..
NONE of this lot had been infected with the ‘pite’ .
A truth had become another relevant reason for their desire to ensure the destruction not only of the Ai entity.. Their so called allies the Orians?
The ones who too were unaware of them.. ?
What and why they were on Solus3 (Earth) was to help the Human(a).. hence they had removed the nuclear weapons.
Removed all aggression well re those those who had been infected by them.
iClones technologies were and had gained a huge number of these primitives.
What the primitives did not know, was that those iClones could be controlled by the Orians.
The Ai entity was also under their control. Slow gradual takeover of these primitives would have been sooner but the arrival of the Arcan?
A gift to them. It would allow them to harness the Portei semperu send their own military through them.
Peaceful, helpful and much noise made how great the Orian race was in helping Human(a). The Arcan must not uncover the truth at any cost, that must NOT happen.
Taking thousands off the planet to help relieve the over population ? WHO knew where they had gone.. Hearsay and lies that could not be proven, disputed.. that their own were in a paradise world. far better than here... ??
