[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 5529612, member: 13966"] It was supposed to be a simple job. Just a few human guards, waiting for K'tharen to arrive and take the weapons confiscated from a few rebel upstarts. Easy pickings. He recognized one of the guards outside, and easily took on the familiar appearance of the man's commanding officer. But the guardsman was suspicious as soon as Gemini tried to walk in. Before he knew it, both guards had Rugers pointed at his head. Then he heard it. The CO's voice echoing from down the hall; he was already on the scene and inside the rebel den! No chance of sneaking out with some black-market maser-rifles now........ They'd already be secured and there were probably more men inside. But wait......one of the voices was strange........inhuman. Then the CO came to the door as his men announced the imposter's presence. And he wasn't alone..... A K'tharen lumbered into view behind him. Gemini realized that he probably should have checked the back of the building first. His 'brother' was on the way to do so, but hadn't made it all the way around yet..... In a moment of panic, he tried ducking the guards' firearms and pushing them off-balance, then focusing on the K'tharen and trying to adopt its monstrous strength and resilience...... But before he could finish the transformation, both guardsmen regained their balance on the elevated porch and had their guns trained on him once more, while the CO was diving at him..... Gemini blacked out a moment later and, when he woke up, couldn't remember what happened to him. But his head hurt and continued bleeding a bit......and he was shackled, being lead along by a K'tharen onto something...... It took a bit longer for his head to clear up. He tried to copy the K'tharen's capabilities while it was distracted for a moment, dealing with another of its kind, probably talking about their orders or something, he didn't know. But nothing happened. His head still hurt, and he hadn't grown any bigger or more powerful. He still couldn't break free of the shackles. A curious sort of shackles, too, and something seemed to be interfering with his abilities. Or maybe it was just the headache........
