Level: Maintenance Bay

The sound mechanical doors shutting Kiyohara could be heard, he had a cup in his hand that he brought to his lips for a sip. He looked around the massive hanger that housed several industrial and combat class ships, he eyed his Typhoon off in the distance, robotics arms zapping away at the hull they attached Launchers to it.
"Maybe another thirty minuets and they will be done..." Kiyohara thought to himself his gaze shifting from his ship towards the narrow walk way.
Kiyohara started down the walk way heading in particular direction, he never really looked around the Maintenance bay and figured he'd do so now.
As Kiyohara walked down the narrow walkway he passed a small platform that was on his right, it was only for a moment but he saw something he liked, without turning around he back tracked and turned his heads towards a woman who was bending down, she had black boots and a engineers jumpsuit on, she was bent over what seemed like a rather complicated piece of equipment, a venture was tethered at the end of the platform.
"Why wont you work you stipid piece of shit.!" The woman shouted and straightened up, she threw a tool at the piece of equipment, it soon started to whirr and buzz "Well shit that's one way to fix it.." The woman was average height, shoulder length brown hair, she turned after feeling a pair of eyes oggling her "What are you- "Oh, its you Kiyo, what are you doing here?"
Kiyohara's sweet thoughts turned sour as the woman he had been staring at intently turned out to be Amanda, one of the corporations head miners, she was pretty to look out but her rough and rugged attitude sort of null'd them out.
"Hrrm Hrrm" Kiyohara cleared his throat "Oh i uh.. was... Uh." He raised the hand which held the cup and motioned towards his typhoon in the far back of the bay.
"Oh? Refitting your ship? Saw it pass by earlier, was trying to think what ballsy idiot managed to fly that into the hole" She smirked wiped the back of her hand against her mouth."So you staying in the Hole or you-"
"AMANDA!" A voice called out from the venture as a man poked his head out open space on the ships hull "I found the issue! Theres a faulty current router that was burning out the scanner! Should be an easy fix!" Kiyohara adjusted his glasses and was able to see that Seth Krank was inside the Hull of the venture. "Kiyo! Welcome to the Hole man!" he waved at Kiyohara, who returned it with a nod and a slight raise of his cup
"Well at least its an easy fix..." Amanda would say rubbing her temples since she had spent the past half hour over thinking the problem..
"But wait why are you fixing it and not just replacing the ship?" Kiyohara being curious asked.
"OH WELL let me fly right over to fucking Dodix and get a new venture!" Amanda said in a sarcastic tone snorting at the end "We are in wormhole space Masaki, we need to repair what we can to minimize costs, we don't know where the next hole will pop up at and where it will lead too for that matter." She sighed at the Kiyohara who now had an embarrassed expression for asking a stupid question.
"Come one this way!" A bay worker shouted as three ran past the platform further down the walkway, they seemed to be in a hurry."
Kiyohara wondered what they were in such a rush about but he saw it! A prospect class mining frigate was being towed in, it seemed to have taken quite the hell of a beating, smoldering holes in its hull and a burning hold could be seen, it appeared to be mostly superficial..
"Sleeper Drones?" Kiyohara asked Amanda, before she could speak a voice came from behind Kiyohara
"Cruiser class drone, Fucking thing appeared out of nowhere with a twin and a few smaller drones! I thought i was a goner for sure." A woman was standing at the platforms entrance, she was wearing skin tight black leather pants and a jacket to match, the zipper was caught just underneath her massive chest unable to go any further. Her face was round
"Elendara! You met the neighbors too huh?" Amanda mocked at Elendaras unfortunate run in with the drones.
"Angry bastards those bunch.." Elendara stepped forward pulling on what appeared to be a leash, BJ, was tugged along appearing from behind Elendara.
BJ was Elendaras personal boy toy and submissive, we will leave it at that. BJ was rather short compared to Elendara

 Kiyohara was about to say something before a rather loud and almost deafening explosion rocked the entire Maintenance bay
A loud alarm began to sound, a noxious gas began escaping from the prospects holding tanks. Kiyohara removed his hands from his ears.
"Toxic gas leak detected in the maintenance bay, all personnel evacuate immediately" The stations adjutant spoke over the intercom system, red lights began flashing soon after. "Fuck are you standing around for GO GO GO" Seth said as he jumped out of the Ventures hull, he was quick to sweep Amanda off of her feet and into his arms running towards the walk way.
Kiyohara turned and was about to make a run for it as well before another explosion rocked the bay, a piece of debris came flying by and smashed into the walkway leading towards the elevator destroying that section.
"BJ! Did you NOT tell them that there was still Gas inside of the tanks!?" Elendara Snarled at Bj and was about to strike him before Kiyohara grabbed her wrist and started tugging her along the other diretion. "Not the time for this Elen!" Kiyo shouted as he and the those two were now on Seth's heels as he made his way to the secondary exit.
"Toxic gas leak detected in the maintenance bay, all personnel evacuate immediately!" The adjutant spoke over the intercoms again. "Sealing the area in twenty seconds, all personnel evacuate immediately, this is not a drill"  "Thank you captain Obvious!" Kiyohara said sarcastically.
The five of them had made it to a bulkhead door and it was preparing to seal off the area. "Come in in in!" Seth hurried them in as the door was now half way closed.
"H-HELP!" Someone shouted from the other side of the closing door.
Kiyohara ducked under and was able to react quickly, not giving a second thought.
A bay worker was trapped under a piece of metal, it had pinned his legs "Help me!" The worker shouted again.
Kiyohara reached the worker, he grabbed onto the piece of metal and started lifting it, the veins in his head began to bulge out as he strained himself to lift up the heavy piece of metal, the worker was able to shimmy his way back enough so he wouldn't be trapped. "My legs! i think they are broken!" Kiyohara released the metal and grabbed ontot he mans jumpsuit and started to pull him back towards the door.
"KIYOHARA! LEAVE HIM! THE DOOR!" Seth shouted. "I'M IMMORTAL HES NOT!" Kiyohara shouted back, Seth seemingly forgot that important detail.
"Kiyohara would finally reach the door, he would get flat onto his stomach and crawl under the door, he turned himself around to reach under it and started pulling the man through. "Your not gonna-!"  The worker had only been dragged half way through the door before it started to seal shut on top of his mid section, his pelvis was crushed as the door forced its way shut.
The man screamed in aggony as the what was one of the most disturbing sounds was made, the doors finally sealed itself shut, the man was cut clean in half..
The bay workers raised his hand unable to speak, gasping, Kiyohara stared into his eyes and he began to slip away, he clenched the workers hand which was grabbing at air.. it was only a moment before the work died of shock...
No one else could bare to look at the horrid mess infront of them, Amanda and Seth started walking away, Elendara followed shortly after glancing briefly at the carnage.
Kiyohara remained there, holding the dead worker in his arms, hand still clenched, he had failed him...

The sound of pressurized air filled the room, accompanied whirring and beeping from all sorts of medical instruments.
 "The pods are opening, vital signs are stable, brainwaves and normal, we are green across the board, wake them up"a Medical attendant said behind her face mask
Another attendant tapped away at a holo-screen, Kiyohara and Mihal would both awaken, reanimated into new bodies, Kiyohara would raise his right hand and place it on his forehead groaning at the mild annoyance of dying once more
"I will never get used to that i swear" Kiyohara said stepping out of the pod looking around, his eyes squinted at they were adjusting.
Mihal would step out of his pod yawning scratching his beard, running his free hand through his hair.
"You and me both buddy" Mihal said searching for his black shades that were tucked away in his jacket.
"All signs are normal, you are both fit to proceed normally, if you are having any motor or cognitive issues please proceed to the med bay immediately." The medical attendant would say as she finished looking over her holo-pad, she nodded to them both and proceed out the clone bay door with the other attendant.
Kiyohara eyes were trained on the door her waited for them to close, with the sound of the door sealing shit Kiyohara would shift his gaze to Mihal and stared at him.
"Boss." Kiyohara said in a monotone voice.
"What?" Mihal said picking up a holo-pad that was laid on a counter, he began looking through various reports.
"Are you sure it was right to leave the wormhole so soon? I mean we had just got there and we are barely spent a week inside before we called it quits" Kiyohara would say, he leaned against an examination table, his palms on the edge for support."
"Well, yeah man. What did you want to stay?" Mihal said looking up from the holo-pad for a moment before looking back down the pad. "Damn, the Kranks got hit hard, we need to find a Suitable place for them to mine ASAP"
Kiyohara sighed and raised a hand placing it against his forehead "Boss, you are certain this is what you want to do? We just left i dont even know how many billion isk worth of assets in that c5, i mean yeah it was obvious we were biting off more than we could chew, but i just need to make sure this is what we are going to do, we cant just constantly shift resources and assets like this" Kiyohara bit the inside of his cheek and placed his hand back down on the edge of table."
"Dont worry man" Mihal would say still looking at his holo-pad "This is the best option man, we all know it, and the Athanor is safe with Big C and his boys, its fine, we are just abandoning the Athanor, consider it an outpost that will give a head start in the long run" Mihal sighed and set the Holo-pad down "Alright lets go, we need to see about starting the decommissioning of the raitaru"
"Sir yes sir.." Kiyohara would say making his way behind Mihal and out the cloning bay proceeding down a narrow corridor.
"What about a war fleet?" Kiyohara asked.
"What about a war fleet? Listen we need to focus on finding a suitable c1 to move to, if you want to head out and fight man then do it, im not gonna stop you, but my main focus is getting us set up somewhere for the longterm"Mihal said reaching into his jacket for a pack of tabacco, he smacked it against his palm a few times before opening it and popping one of the slender tubes between his lips, a lighter coming on shortly to light the sit. "You want one?" Mihal asked Kiyohara
"Sure.." Kiyohara extended a hand taking a cigarette from Mihal, he lit and kept pace with Mihal "I see, i understand, i'll get a message out to the others to see if any of them want to fleet up for war, if enough of them do i'll proceed with that." Kiyohara tapped the cigarette ashing it on the floor as they both walked.
"Cool man, cool, ill catch you later Kiyo" Mihal gave an over the shoulder wave as he turned toward an elevator..
Kiyohara continued on his way down the corridor towards the living quarters, he was going to check on his pet fish hoping the automatic filtration and feeding system hadn't failed.

-System ready to record-
"I have heard the calling, a whisper at first, a murmur if you will, watching them flicker as the barge tutted along through the empty void that i called home. I have always been curious by nature, always wondering how things worked, what made them work, and why the worked the way they did, i was never satisfied with what i found i always wanted more. I knew that my frail human body would never allow me sufficient time to learn what i wanted from the universe, i would have to one day stop waking from my slumber. I saw only one option, one option that to my parents was unnatural. The Capsuleer program, to become immortal, to never die, to have unlimited time to learn what i wanted, at least i thought that was how it worked. I worked hard to gain entry into the university of Caille, to become top of my class, to stand out from the chaff, i was proven to have genetic comparability with the jovian capsule and neural implants, i went forward with it, my long years of hard work would finally pay off.

This life that i have chosen is not a life, i have died many times, i have felt the searing heat and the bitter cold of the vacuum of space more time than i am willing to recall. We are told when a capsuleer dies our consciousness is instantly transferred to a new body, our one will die, but we live on. The countless times that i have reopened my eyes have begun to weigh on my mind, i have started to question whether or not it is actually 'Me' who awakens after a death. The amarrens believe that a person has a soul within its body, after death this soul, who we are at our core, leaves behind its carnal prison, we cease to exist on this plain of existence. IF what they believe is true, then my greatest fear is that these implants do nothing more than make a copy of the neural mapping of our brains, constantly updated as we learn and experience new things, and it is this copy that shapes a new brain in a fresh clone that awakens, and not -us-. This thought haunts my waking moments, i am afraid, am i coward for being afraid? TO fear death is natural human instinct, someone once told me, to embrace it reveals strength, to dismiss it reveals foolishness, to run from it, cowardice. I do not know what to think anymore, i must continue forward with this new life and hope that i never have to feel the cold of the vacuum again, never again..."
