Dominion - Target

The dense foliage was penetrated by the advanced sensors of the armored exo-suit the reptilian creature wore as it slunk through the underbrush in pursuit of her target. A holographic heads up display was displayed just over the creatures irises giving graphical representations of all functions and programs running. A radar signature was pinging away in a circle with a directional location. Moving west, Southwest. The world became morphing into a Technicolor dreamscape of wire models for a moment while rendering engines showed the body of her target glowing eerily. A half kilometer distant, but five hundred meters wasn't far. The Baajin kept her feet under her as she began to sprint, branches and thick leaves slapping aways the blackened, formfitting exo-suit.

She closed the distance fast, rounding trees. She attempted silence, but knew that the speed she was moving at would mean he'd hear the thundering roar of snapped branches and detritus from her passing. He might think it local animal life. It wouldn't matter, though, because once she reached fifty meters distance from her target, still behind enough trees and brush as to be invisible to the eye, she whipped off a diskette attached to her right hip. The activation code was sent wirelessly as she flung it like a Frisbee. The anti-grav coils activated, causing the device to accelerate through the forest. At twenty-five meters from target, it activated the gravity-well effect. Combined with a field effect, things were grabbed from one direction and thrown into another. It would draw alongside her opponent, along with tons material in the form of trees and the like, burying her opponent and perforating him with splintered wood.

Goodbye.
