several guards ran past my position.
    As the next guard approached I could hear his footsteps slow and then stop when the door would not open. His cries for assistance soon gave away my position. I turned and ran hard at the back wall, again crashing through into the adjoining room on hall nine. Three Kurtz sitting at consoles let out screams for assistance and three Kurtz were soon obliterated by a green bolt of energy from my weapon.
    I opened the door into hall nine and crossed into the room beyond, once again jamming the door behind me. I repeated the process making my way across hallways until I had reached hallway 12. I jammed the door behind me and then paused to catch my breath.
    Although my body had acclimated to the Kurtz climate aboard the mega-ship the lower level of oxygen led to an early fatigue. I leaned over, placing my hands on top of my knees as I gasped for air, but my rest was short lived as the footsteps once again settled outside my door and the torch began to cut away at my defense.
    I turned and ran hard slamming into the back wall of the room, but it did not give. I bounced hard whipping my head forward into the hardened bulkhead wall. As I fell back stunned, the blood began to pour from a split on my forehead. Several seconds then passed before I was again on my feet and running towards a side wall.
    I crashed into the next room and then into the one beyond, each time jamming the door with a green bolt of energy as I ran. When the panel of the third wall buckled I found myself standing in the connecting hallway going out to hall 13.
    I sprinted towards the adjoining hall and continued on until I reached hall 14. I turned and knelt waiting for the first unlucky Kurtz to come into the cross hallway. Two rounded the corner at the same time and two bright green bolts of energy found their marks on the unlucky alien fools.
    I sprinted down hall 14 and entered the first door to my right that opened. A startled half nude Kurtz woman was in the process of dressing when I entered the room. She immediately leaped to the left side of the room looking for a weapon. I responded by jumping forward and smashing her skull in with my fist.
    I commanded her door to close behind me and then blasted the wall to seal it shut. I hurried to the back wall and tested it for give. The wall bowed under the pressure of my strong arm. I stepped back and powered through the wall into the adjoining room on hall 15. My thoughts quickly turned to finding Rial Mabia as taking her hostage would bring at least a pause to my current dilemma.
    I opened the door and poked my head out quickly to see if it was clear. Two blue bolts of energy screamed past my head from the right telling me that it was not. I stepped back and then lunged forward rolling on my side as I went. As I came to a stop I fired 3 bursts at the two guards that stood in front of a door on the left.
    The first guard exploded in agony while the second was knocked backwards by debris coming from a bolt hitting the wall. The second guard moved slowly on the floor behind the remains of the first, so I raised my weapon to finish the job. I then noticed a flashing yellow light indicating that my gun was nearly out of energy.
    I crossed the hall and then closed and blasted the doorway wall behind me. I turned to the right and ran through the wall in front of me. I burst into a room adorned with ornate decorations. I immediately recognized the blue chair as being the one Rial Mabia had sat in with her gaggle of kids in front of her so many years ago. I turned to see the five small stasis pods along the wall to the left.
    I tested the next wall and was relieved when it flexed under my pressure. I stepped back to again get up the speed for crashing through it when something told me to hold back. For a moment I hesitated and then kicked hard at the wall with my right foot. The panel buckled and shattered, raining down pieces before me.
    A green bolt of energy whizzed by my right
