《Terror Infinity Remake》6 Objective complete
Advertisement
Hera was getting anxious, they've been searching all the ejected compartments for the hidden piece, but hadn't found it yet.
Nick just followed them around doing nothing as usual, only fetching bottles of alcohol to carry back.
Chrysa was looking after the new players and NPCs, in case something happened, mostly afraid that Riddick might decide to kill them in order to take their food or water. Contrary to her expectations Riddick didn't do much, other than stealing some tools, food and other stuff he did nothing murderous. At a thought it did't feel so strange since he did the same in the movie, but this situation wasn't exactly to his favor.
Chrysa was sweating as she carried a box back to their temporary base, the wreckage of the ship. The other survivors were happy to come back as well, since it meant that they could rest for the day.
They had salvaged enough food and resources that would last them for days.
Chrysa was really irritated after seeing Chris sitting there doing nothing, but thinking about the first and second missions, maybe he had already done more than enough.
The NPCs most friendly with the NPCs were Zeke and Shazza, they were mere prospectors whom were travelling to a nameless settlement for work, but now that they were both rich, they were in a really good mood.
Paris was a rather lazy person, for a merchant, he ordered everyone around and even insulted a few of the survivors on the way for almost breaking some of the more fragile boxes. Who knew what these boxes had in, but he had told the survivors to take them back to base with them. Nick on the other side was rather friendly with Paris, he even helped him order the survivors around, when the survivors discovered they were carrying alcohol and cigars, they were really angry and looked at Nick with some agression only to be told to get something to drink from the box, causing them to become even more irritated.
The only problem now was Riddick, he was like a thorn to their side, although they might somehow come to an understanding with him, but they couldn't even find his shadow. The truth however was that they were all afraid of him, unlike in the movie this Riddick lacked the charisma of a good actor, he looked more like a hardened criminal, there was no way anyone would feel comfortable around him.

It's hard to tell why, but non dared simply shout out Riddick's name until Johns arrived.
"Riddick you son of a bitch come out here! we need to talk!"
Johns and Fry had just arrived with enough water to last them for days, but Johns had more plans in his mind.
To everyone's surprise Riddick, like an agile puma, jumped down from the top of the wreckage and landed not too far away from Johns and the others.
He was wearing black gogles and in his hands were two sharp blades, which he begun to grind against each other, causing everyone to feel some presure.
"Lets make a deal!"
Johns shouted, causing everyone to look at his with suspicion, even the NPCs looked at him with strange faces.
"Now you're talking my language, how many millions will I be given, since you're all rich here, I won't be helping for scrabs right?"
Riddick said with a smirk on his face.
"It seems that even a bastard like you knows the worth of money"
Johns smiled as he pointed at his own money tube and then at Chris.
"Just give me the numbers already"
Riddick asked.
"50-50, but there's a bit of a problem that we have to solve first"
Johns said, while pointing his shotgun at one of the survivors and pulling the trigger.
"There's just too many of us, only 12 people can leave this stinky rock"
These words caused everyone to panic, Johns wanted to drop the numbers.
"Oh, then what about the others that have crossed the desert?"
Riddick said nonchalantly, as if he already agreed to the deal.
"We'll get to them later"
Johns said as he shot another female survivor as if he he hated women or something.
"Then what about the lady captain?"
Riddick said, as he looked behind Johns at the shocked Fry.
"We will need a second pilot don't you think, as for the rest they're useless to us"
Johns said as he pointed the gun towards one of the children, only for the preacher to get in front of the gun.
Suddenly a gunshot was heard and heard and Johns died with a shocked expression, a bullet having pierced right in between his eyes.
"I'm sorry, but you forgot to ask if I agree with the two of you"
Nick suddenly said as he pointed his gun at Riddick next.

"Will you also try to kill my people?"
Nick asked, causing Riddick to instantly move like a ghost inside the wreckage and disappear.
The survivors that were still alive were happy to be alive, although there was only four of them now, Hear and Chrysa included. Nobody knew why Nick took so long to act or why the other two who had guns didn't act before that.
Everyone however felt as if they had escaped from deadly danger, even the NPCs.
==Objective No 2 - Kill 100 Bioraptors==
Seeing the message the survivors knew that the Heroes had already arrived at the settlement.
The survivors were even more happy that the first objective was complete, as for killing those creatures, the heroes could probably make it.
Now that the danger had subsided, everyone was happy, only Chris looked at the distance as if nothing really mattered. Truthfully these missions didn't appear deadly at all, unless you tried to achieve the objectives.
If nobody however tried to achieve the objective then they would all fail.
Although the new mission had no time limit, the problem was that they didn't know how long they had until night fell and all the creatures beging to go rampart.
"So what's the plan now?"
Nick poured water on their excitement, the NPCs and survivors all looked at him with expectations, expecting him to lead them out of this situation.
Johns might have wanted to kill them, but he was right, there was no way that all of them could leave the planet and the NPCs feared that the players that went there would find this fact as well.
They all were like headless chicken that didn't know what was required of them, both the NPCs and the survivors. Where however could anyone find a leader, Hera and Chrysa were no up to par and Nick didn't seem to care. Everyone's stares turned to Fry since she used to be the one in control together with Johns.
Fry gulped hard as everyone's expectations seemed to be crushing her. There was no way she could take everyone off the planet, she looked around lost for words, smiling helplessly as she couldn't look them in the eyes. Scenes of how she tried to eject them came to mind, but nobody knew, her guilt ate her from the inside.
She was having a moment to herself when Riddick appeared before her.
"Need any help, I could reduce the numbers for you"
Riddick said as he sized her up with a bottle of water in his hands.
"You're..."
Fry was shocked to find herself alone in the same room with a criminal.
"Don't act like that, truth is I like you very much, especialy when you tried to eject everyone to save yourself, such a nice character"
Riddick said, sincerely complimenting her, he always found selfish people more pleasing to the eye than those self righteous fools that preached about justice and equality.
"I just want to save everyone"
She said, a bit reluctantly, wanting to redeem herself, looking at Riddick as if he were a monster that would eat her very soul.
"Could the two of you find a room to flirt, I'm trying to sleep here"
Nick suddenly interjected, his voice coming from above.
Riddick then took out a knife and begun poking at the roof, as if one could cut through the outer shell of a spaceship with a knife, he was just trying to frighten the guy above, but his action frightened Fry more than Nick, whom just felt annoyed.
"Pathetic, you're not their mother, you owe them nothing, why do you care about them?"
Riddick asked irritated.
"Because..."
Fry couldn't find the words to explain it herself, even she had no idea as to why she wantd to go so far for them.
"Do you want to save me too?"
Riddick smirked as he played with his dagger.
Fry could only nod unconciously, not knowing herself why, was it really out of guilt or because of something greater.
Suddenly Riddick lounged towards a dark corner as a person entered, it was one of the kids. There was a fight between the survivors, one group wanted to relocated to the settlement and the other wanted to stay.
"I'll be there in a bit"
Fry said with renewed drive, looking at the darkness Riddick had disappeared as the boy left.
"Don't be afraid, I still like you a lot"
Riddick said as he left throught the door.
"I love you too honey!"
A voice came from above which made the atmosphere awkward. Nick really didn't have anything better to do that play with the NPCs, especialy when he knew that everything was going well.
