I am working on a sci fi story which i am writing scene by scene. This is first open scene. I wont describe the plot because its still evolving. It
needs a bit of editing and work on grammar so raw still in places.
--------------
The beach was wide and sandy and the sky a brilliant blue which was a perfect setting for the lone character walking along the beach. He crouched
down and falling to lay on the beach pondering the recent events.
Major Henadial Smith a rising star in the Brass, and soon to be promoted Colonel if only things had gone as planned. Since when was ever life that
straight forward, and even more difficult when being responsible for the well being of the men and woman under his command. The thoughts faded away
and he focused on the horizion, peering and searching for any signs of land or activity.
A voice called from behind Henadial, Sir! its nearly noon i have prepared food for your lunch. The figure speaking to him was a man with black curely
hair of hispanic looking appearance who would not been older than mid thirties from his look. The figures definitive and proportional features to his
face gave him the appearance of a person with essence of nobility in his ancestory, though of course lookings can be deceiving.
Henadial lazily replied "Yeh....thanks AI......what would i do if i didnt have you to feed me" Henadial then, jumped to his feet and spun him self
to face AI. "You know what AI"... " your the best pal a guy could ever have".
AIs response to these words couldnt of been more dramatic, a glowing aura suddenly enveloped his body. As if like watching a chamelon changes his
colour on the rocks, AIs appearance become different. The casual but pristine shiny looking one piece fabric AI was wearing only a moment ago was
gone; and replaced with alternating arrangement of blue and white bands which rose hortizontally in a sequential order of concentric rings wrapped
around his frame. Their appearance and colour seemed similar with the skins of deep aquatic life, such as with the amobea or octopus.
Henadial leant over and pushed AI back with his palm of his hand. "Thats better" I like a little bit of room to operate in" . The feels of AI body
on Henadials hand was the feeling of a rubber shock absorbing padding.
Henadial leant over and pushed AI back with his palm of his hand. "Thats better" I like a little bit of room to operate in" . The feels of AI body
on Henadials hand was the feeling of a rubber shock absorbing padding. The pupils had become firely red and the whites of the eyes a dark hue. The eye
brows were gone.
Henadial formed a defensive posture and with an elevated volume in his voice as use to in his command said to AI..."Program Begin"
Hendadial watched closely the every twitch of AIs movement which seemed to follow a rythmic pattern as if probing for opening weakness to exploit.
The twitches would cause images to flash up in Hendadials mind of trophies he had won in amature martial arts tournaments. He had at one point even
made the state championships being the runner up winner, athough a good decade had past since his prime of his mid thirties.
This sobering thought snapped Henadial attention back into focus and at exactly the same time AI lunged forward with a palm punch at Henadials chest.
Henadial defense was too launch a intercepting fist which deflected the force but causing him to be pushed back off balance.
AI retracted his punch and quickley moved himself to different vantage position around Henadial, to achieve a more vulnerable strike postion. Then
again delivering a assault and and Henadial incepting the attack to be pushed to a new position.
Hendadial called out in voice " drop attach 50%, increase defence 50%". AIs frequency of attacks immediately dropped back and his posture become
more defensive. AI was no longer trying to kite Hendadial and was now only stepping from side to side in front Henadial, but still probing for a
weakness.
AI intelligence was incrementally responding to Hendadials command because thats how he had been constructed. He was an Android made to serve and
fulfil specific functions of his programing. In AIs case he was general category of droid made for general household and maintenance duties, and with
additional add ons for home security, of which one of these included self defence training.
Henadial looked for signs of tiring in AI but AI was an android who did not fatigue, or if he did it was at substantially slower rate than a human
being. This had been the tactic he had used in amature tournments fights, get them tired and slow the opponent down so they can no longer defend
attack. This would not be the case with AI, and another weakness would need to be found. The thoughts of desparation raced through
Henadials head "How!..Where is his weakness?"
This had been a fight scene played out over and over again on the beach by Henadial and AI, ever since that fateful day he arrived in this cursed
place.
