“Gee, thanks, Star-Lord. You’re not looking so hot yourself.”
Quill thumped his chest. “I just got out of a healing vat less than a week ago. What’s your excuse?”
Bloody Bess turned to look at Quill’s companion. Kitty smiled and said, “He got shot while kare-” A short burst of static. “-while singing at a bar.”
The platinum blonde woman nodded. “Not a bad story. I just didn’t get much sleep.”
The male Terran wiggled his eyebrows. “Fun night?”
She eyed him out of the corner of her eye. “It’s the Captain annual birthing month. It’s too busy and too noisy to sleep.”
“Wait, wait, time-out.” Kitty held her hands in a perpendicular shape in front of her. “I thought Captain Vag’ner was male? And what’s a birth month?”
“He’s a Ruler Bamf, so that makes him a hermaphrodite. But he prefers to identify as male. Don’t you have hermaphrodites on Terra? And a birth month is just because he decided it’s easier to boost our numbers all at once rather than spreading it out over the year.”
Quill quirked an eyebrow. “No?” But Kitty shook her head. “Yes but . . . they’re kind of rare. Or maybe I’m thinking of transgender.” She shook her head. “Never mind, I’ve got more questions now but it’s not important. But I guess timing is why he’s cashing in that favor from running down the Kree Light-Speed Engine?”
The other woman nodded her head. “Yup. He really wanted to do this himself, but rumor has it that another treasure hunter got the coordinates too so now it’s a race against time to see who gets to claim the goods first.” Bess had three blue, fuzzy, collared creatures, two of which she held out to Peter and Kitty. “Our job is to just get into the palace. Once there, we contact either the Palatine or the Milano. My crew will then use these Workers as homing beacons and teleport in.”
“And steal the place blind,” continued Kitty dryly. “I assume the natives are going to object.”
“Nope. As far as we know, there shouldn’t be anyone living there anymore. So your conscience doesn’t have to worry about a thing.” She looked at the younger woman. “I assume you’ve got a new suit after the last time?”
“Yeah.” It was an older version, carbon nanotubes rather than the more advanced holographic one, and black rather than Quill’s (and Yondu’s) favored red, but it’s not like Star-Lord’s little cadre was a wealthy Ravager clan. They probably had to take what they could get.
“Both of you get suited up then.” Bess ushered them over to one of the Palatine’s M-ships and then took off towards the planet.
While Bess and Quill took the cabin seats, Kitty looked out the window. “I don’t see anything but ice.”
Bess focused on piloting while answering. “We’re not sure that is ice. The planet’s got an incredible cloaking device, no visual or gravitational clues until we were almost right on top of it. Cardinal thinks the ‘ice’ and ‘mist’ we’re seeing are actually parts of the shield.”
They landed on a cubical pillar, no different from any of the others that covered the planet and wandered around. By chance, Quill stepped on some sort of trigger mechanism and a circular platform began to descend. Once it had completed its journey, they were left to find their way among crumbling catwalks, rickety staircases, and cramped tunnels. “This reminds me of HR Giger,” mumbled Kitty.
“Who’s that?”
“You never saw the Alien movies?”
“When did they come out? Might have been after Yondu abducted me.”
Kitty placed her hand against one of the decaying pillars. After a second, she frowned. “I can’t phase through this material. If we need to cut and run later, that could be a problem.”
“That’s what the Workers are for,” Bess reassured her. “If it gets bad, we can use them to teleport back to the Palatine. And why we each have one, in case we get split up.” At that point, she slipped, grabbed both Quill and Kitty’s arms to try to stabilize herself, and they all ended up sliding down one of the support beams. “Well, now we’ll have to use the Workers to get back. We’ll send a second crew to pick up the ship when we’re done.”
They continued down. The fog got thicker until most of the light from the star was blocked and they had to switch on their lights. “I wonder who made this place,” whispered Kitty. Unnecessary, they had encountered nothing living the entire time they were here.
“Probably one of the Big Three,” Bess found herself also whispering and consciously forced her voice back up to normal volume. “It wouldn’t be a big deal for one of them to strip-mine an entire planet to create something like this, then just forget about it.”
Once again, Quill was the one who found an access hatch. And when the lever to open it proved too difficult for all three of them, he ended up shooting it with his blaster, freeing it from the ice. They passed through a brief air lock type passage, with another lever (fortunately not frozen over this time) that opened up into the main body of the planet.
“There are no lights at all,” said Kitty, looking around.
“Fortunately, there’s only one direction to go.” Bess tapped a few buttons on her helmet. “Cardinal, are you getting all of this?”
A tinny voice could be heard in all their helms. “I’m with you.”
“Creepy,” muttered Kitty. “It all looks completely untouched.”
“Pretty though,” noted Quil, picking up a golden candelabra. “Are we just going to grab anything then leave?”
Bess shook her head. “Only as a last resort. Supposedly there’s some fantastic technology here. Something that allows you to bring back the dead. That’s the real prize.”
They found another door. In front of it was a pillar with an empty slot. “Dead, unfortunately.” Kitty tried to phase through it with no luck. “This almost looks like a keyhole. There must be a way to turn on the power for this place.”
Bess looked around then made a decision. “Let’s keep going down. It would make more sense for the generators to be near the planet’s core.”
Quill eventually abandoned the candelabra he’d picked up, then a mirror gave all three of them a jump scare. Despite that, none of them could ignore the palace’s beauty. “It’s all so pretty,” gushed Kitty. “It reminds me of Versailles.” She trailed one hand over a tuning fork, but no sound could be heard in the vacuum.
“You’ve been to France?”
“No, but I’ve seen pictures.”
Bess’s HUD pinged her and she followed the tracer symbol. They came to a pillar, encircled by heavy metal rings. Inset in the pillar was a scepter, which apparently carried a gravitational charge. “I think this is our key. It looks a lot like the pillar in front of the door.” She hooked it through a belt loop and they made their way back to the door. Bess inserted the scepter into the slot and . . .
“Nothing’s happening.” Noted Quill.
“Huh. Maybe it really is just a dead world.” Bess turned away, intent on simply picking up whatever they could carry off on their way back to the entrance when Kitty cried out. Turning back around, she and Quill saw the pillar retract into the ground and the door open, panels sliding away into the walls.
They stepped inside. “Do you see that? That dim glow on the ceiling.”
Bess squinted at the ceiling. “The scepter may have started up an evacuation procedure. If there’s one thing that’s going to survive after all this time, that would be it.” She looked around and spotted a couple of staircases. “We’ll continue going down.”
They continued walking. “This place is huge,” muttered the only male among them. “How are we ever going to find anything without coordinates?”
Cardinal answered that. “The scanners can pick up energy signatures. I’ll pin them to your HUDs and you can look for those.” They went down a few more levels until they came across another door. This time, instead of a pillar, there was a giant throne in front of it. Kitty stared at it, wide-eyed. “What kind of species made this place?”
Bess just frowned. “Theatrical ones. There’s a limit to the size you can be in an environment like this, nothing that could actually use a throne like that would have been able to even move in this gravity unless it was aquatic.” Despite her comment, Kitty had used her phasing ability to climb and sit down on the chair. Quill quickly caught their attention and pointed out the door had opened in front of them. But when Kitty got off, the panels started closing again.
“Get back on, and then get ready to sprint as soon as you jump off,” Bess ordered. “If you don’t make it, squeeze the Worker a little and it will teleport you back to the Palatine.” She and Quill stood by the door and stepped through easily when it opened. Kitty waited until the panels had fully retracted, then hit the ground running, barely making it in before the door fully closed and crashing into Bess, knocking her down to the floor. There was a huge chamber on the other side.
“I think this is it!” crowed Bess. They quickly climbed the stairs to the small pavilion at the top. There, the was a large marble slab, with silver circuitry embedded in the top. At the foot of the coffin-shaped slab, a pillar with arc lightning provided the only other illumination.
Quill stared at the giant slab of marble. “How are we going to get this out?”
Bess waved her fuzzy little blue elf-thing in his face. “Teleportation!” She placed one hand on the slab then did something with the Worker and vanished in a puff of smoke. Star-Lord and Kitty exchanged confused glances, but before either of them could say anything, Bess was back in another puff. “I’m surprised, that didn’t work.”
Awkwardly, Quill spoke, “Maybe it was too big? Didn’t you say these things have a mass limit on how much they can teleport at once?” She nodded her head. “Try that pillar instead, it’s smaller.”
Bess walked over to the pillar, it was small enough that she could embrace it with one hand, careful to keep away from the arcing electricity between the top and bottom. Once again she gave a slight squeeze and vanished. But again, the pillar was left behind.
When she came back, Bess was frowning. “I think the whole apparatus is like the walls outside. Just like you can’t phase through them, Pryde, the bamfs teleportation doesn’t work either. I guess we’re just going to have to cut our losses and pick up whatever valuables we can carry.”
They made their way to the door but then encountered another problem. It wouldn’t open. “I guess that makes sense,” muttered Kitty. “Someone needs to be sitting on that throne to unlock it.”
The eldest member of the party looked around. “Still, there are three other doors here. Let’s go see if any of them will open.” They split up, Quill and Pryde to the left and right respectively, and Bess to the door opposite the one they entered.
“Locked!”
“No good on this side either.”
They reconvened at the pavilion. “So now what?” asked Quill.
Cardinal’s voice cut across any potential plans. “Now the three of you squeeze those Bamfs and get back here. Another ship just pulled into the system.”
“Shi’Ar?”
“Unknown. But it’s bigger than the Palatine by a factor of 10. I think our unknown competitor just showed up.”
Bess sighed in frustration. “Looks like this whole trip was a bust then. Cardinal, you’re going to need to send someone down to bring the M-ship back to the Palatine. Star-Lord, Pryde, we’re going to teleport back to the ship.”
Just before they left, Kitty heard Peter say one more thing. “Guess even the greatest Ravagers can’t win them all.”
