Audio log #7- Escape!
I regained consciousness several hours later. I was stiff, and sore all over. I probably wouldn't survive another 'interrogation'. I quickly dug myself out, and looked around the room. everything was as it had been left, with the exception of a bowl of gruel, with a metal spoon laying in the sand beside it. Small pits in the sand stood testament to the brief but intense action that had gone on. Never being one to be absentminded, I quickly investigated the curious object the chieftain had dropped. I brushed the sand away, revealing s small metal rectangle with a holoprojector screen on one side. I thumbed the activation button, and a holographic map of the ship appeared a few inches above the metal. This was a valuable asset, indeed! Now, to escape. I cracked open the back of my recorder, and pulled out the 'fine' tools inside. Among them were a few bent wires, and a small abrasive pad. I took the pad, and placed the wires in my pocket.
Now, Urag energy bar technology works in two phases; a powerful, searing setting that only comes on if the doorway motion sensors are tripped, and a low-power setting which would only kill given prolonged exposure. Knowing this, I set to work. Using the spoon, I scooped up decent amount of sand. Now, for the dangerous part. I placed the bowl of the spoon on one of the laser emitters, and waited. After several seconds, the sand began to glow a dull red, and then begin to melt. Using the wires, I carefully dragged the spoon off of the emitter, and let it cool for several minutes. I then repeated the process four more times, once for each bar. I then set to work with the abrasive. Several more hours later, I was rewarded with four crude lenses. I then placed one each on the emitters, dispersing the beams enough for me to escape.
Following the map, I made my way to the armory. Inside, I headed to the rack reserved for the Urag special forces.I donned the armor of a sniper, pausing only to observe the fully enclosed helmet. Satisfied that my disguise would be complete, I fit the telescoping mask over my head. While I was there, I found a real prize; an Urag Pulse sniper. These were some of the most lethal weapons I had encountered. With the Urag pulse technology, these snipers had nearly limitless range when compared to the human counterpart. Coupled with the rechargable energy drum, this rifle could fire thousands of rounds without reloading. Upon closer inspection, I learned that this really was a deluxe weapon; the drum, instead of a standard capacitor, was an experimental unit which dynamically charged from oxygen, with a process similar to photosynthesis. /Very/ nice. I had never had a chance to fire one, as they were equipped with a dead man switch which made them self-destruct when the user was killed. I picked it up, and began to head to the command center. As I left the armory, alarm klaxons began to ring. Maybe I would get a chance to fire the pulse rifle sooner rather than later...
