Paradise Violated
You run into one of the huts, as projectiles of all types come flying at you. LaFleur runs off into the jungle. You quickly look for a weapon in the hut and grab a spear lying on the floor. The first Lizard that sticks its head in the doorway gets it skewered by you dropping the plasma gun he was carrying You give a hefty shove to the body causing the Lizards behind it to fall to the ground. While they attempt to pick themselves up, you pick up the plasma gun and fire at them. At this close range you can't miss.
You easily manage to win the fire fight with the remaining Lizards since their aim is terrible. You leave the cover of the hut and run to the posts where your remaining team members are tied. Fortunately the rest of the Lizards have their claws full with dealing with the Elojin, but only one remains now. Of course it turns out to be your old "friend".
Your team re-arms themselves quickly and finish off the Lizards. Even LaFleur comes back out of hiding to help out. Only the Elojin remains, he raises his arms but still holds his weapon.
"Hey! It's a good thing you escaped! This all wasn't my idea actually; I would've preferred to just work with you, than these savage natives. But my now dead peers were so insistantÂ…well you understand I'm sure. So you ready to go explore the Xont structure?"
"You've gotta be fucking kidding." One of your team members says.
'Not at all! The way I see it, mistakes were made on both sides, no sense on dwelling in the past, let's just try to salvage the situation so we can all getÂ…"
"You know something, you're right, mistakes were made on both sides, yours was betraying us, but mine was trusting a fucking Elojin in the first place. But I'm about correct both of this mistakes." You interrupt and blast the Elojin, putting an end to his lies once and for all.
The village is completely decimated, it resembles a graveyard now.
"Captain, are we still going to look for the Xont structure? The Elojin said it wasn't too far from here." One member asks you.
"No, we're going to spend the rest of our time on this hellhole planet in this village until the next ship arrives. Even if the Elojin was telling the truth, we're probably not equipped to handle what's in there and enough of us have been killed due to my recklessness."
The rest of your time on Paradise passes without incident. You still wonder why you were temporarily over come with a kind of madness. Was it the idea of bringing glory to the Empire? Being stuck on this planet for so long? Or something else? Whatever the reason, being captured by the Lizards snapped you back to reality. You decide that it'll always remain a bit of a mystery.
When the Empire ship comes, you give a sketchy report to your superiors about being ambushed and how you suffered heavy losses. You don't go into great detail and you don't even bother to mention the Xont rumor. They dismiss you with a bored expression, and write Paradise off as a low priority. This was just another ho-hum routine mission report to them and you're sent to another planet where you receive replacement troops for your next mission.
And this time, you give an order to have all Elojin shot on sight!
