Ysidra Cole
Earth in the mid-22nd century, although we journey out into the stars, colonise other worlds and meet new races, here on Earth nothing much changes for the low life. I’m Ysidra Tapia, in my mid-20′s and making a living as an assassin, not just any kind of assassin…my power is in my mind, I’m a powerful telepath permanently trying to avoid being captured by the dreaded Psi Corp. I live on the east side of the city, overcrowded and housing every possible kind of low life you could imagine. But here I can hide, the authorities rarely come anywhere near this hell hole, so I’m free to do as I please, and tonight I’m going hunting, because I have a desire to feed. It is something I cannot stop myself from doing, I started to get a buzz from assassinating people, then it became an addiction. Now I haunt the various nightclubs looking for victims to satiate my hunger, I am what is known as a Psychic Vampire, I feed on people’s energy.
I’ve already had some success tonight, but it hasn’t been enough, I’m still feeling empty and need to find someone stronger to give me the ultimate surge of energy. And that’s when I see him, his energy almost glows and I know he is the one. Quietly I follow him down the street, I can see him staggering a bit, they’re even easier to take when they’re drunk. As he turns down an alleyway, I make my move, staying in the shadows I follow him, then quickly grab hold of his arm and pin him against the wall. I place my hands either side of his head, but as I link to his mind to start draining him of his energy, I sense something is wrong, seriously wrong. “Looks like you picked on the wrong victim young lady” The man’s look sends chills down my spine, I try to break away, but he locks on to my mind, before I can block him, I get a massive mind shock and slump to the ground. The last thing I see is the man standing over me, an evil grin on his face, then total darkness.

(bester) *to one of the guards* take her to my ship *knowing i must act quickly we get her aboard my ship, the link i made with her was a good trick but i sence she is very powerful, and tho at only about half streanth, i must try to tame her, first ill hold out on letting her feed, but if need be i can use one of the 4 special black ops i have with me to let her feed when i install the sleeper program she will take alot of time to develope into perfect sleeper, but she is the one in my visions, bester thinks to himself*
Ysidra Cole
*lost in the blackest darkness I’ve ever known, I try and find something to bring my mind back to the present, but I can’t sense a thing, it’s like having psychic deafness and it terrifies me, but there is one thing I know for certain…I have been captured by Psi Corps, but if they think I’m going to give up without a fight, they’d better think again*
Marcus Cole (bester)
*as ysidra starts to sence her surroundings she hears a voice* yer good miss Tapia keep thinking that *as he knows her hunger is building he feels it with the link he made with her, he increases her natural desire to feed by letting her mind calm and remember her natural instints to feed, but as ysidra opens her eyes looking around sees bester and the 4 guards, she tries to lash out and is horrified that its being blocked by bester* (bester) *smiles and walks closer to ysidra whose tied up on a gurney unable to move, she is furious that shes being surpressed from feeding* looks like your loosing the fight miss tapia tho you look more like a crazy woman, come home with me and i will help you, or you can starve ill give you a few days to think about it *turns to one of guards* watch her ill be back later.
Ysidra Cole
You bastard, you’ll pay for this! *I call out after him as he leaves the room, I struggle to break free of the restraints, but I’m growing weaker, I hadn’t finished feeding before I was captured, I stare at the guard and try to link to his mind to force him to come to me, only to get a sharp shock of pain in my mind* Bester I will fucking well kill you for this *I scream at the top of my voice*
Marcus Cole
*the door behing the guard is magnetically sealed, leaving him in the room with you, with no chance of escaping, in yer mind you hear bester* (bester) owe miss tapia such harsh language, but i do enjoy the way you scream that to me. *knowing yer growing weaker faster as yer anger builds, yer instints to feed are intence* well i dont want to be seen as rude i will let you have a little snack *knowing if she kills my guard and drains his energy i will feel and sence it because of the link i put into all my guards minds, hoping will help me calm her, try to control her after she feeds, i know at least one of them will satisfy her ive seen the vision i just dont know which one yet* ill release yer restraints have a good dinner miss tapia. *as bester watches on camera as well, he feels what ysidra is feeling.
Ysidra Cole
*as I’m released from the restraints, I jump to my feet and rush at the guard, slamming him against the wall, my rage so intense that I push my thumbs into his eyes as I grab hold of his head and link to his mind, as I draw the guards energy out and start to feed, my head starts to spin, much longer and I know I would have blacked out, I can sense the guard getting weaker, as he slides down the wall, I draw the last of his energy out of him and let him go, turning round and leaning back against the wall, I give the energy time to run through my body, then I run towards the door, but immediately sense it’s sealed and there’s no escape* Bester I know you’re watching and sensing everything I do and you know that one guard is not enough, why don’t you open the door and give me something for dessert…preferably yourself… *I throw back my head and roar with laughter*
Marcus Cole
*your mind gets an intence pain and you fall to the floor unable to move you feel the block surpressing yer psy powers again, as the 3 guards enter room 2 pick up body while one stays behind, you notice one of them leaving with dead guard, so wishing he was one staying behind, as the other 2 wont satifsy you, something about 1 of them extremly attracts you as that one leaves yer anger builds, the door is magnetically sealed after the other 2 leave, and yer unblocked by bester* (bester) now you need to show better manners miss tapia were almost home at psy corps headquaters, we dont want you hungry when you get there enjoy your desert.
Ysidra Cole
*I’m now more angry than hungry and need to unleash my rage on the guard before I feed, fortunately I’ve learned to fight, and fight well, I swing round and kick the guard in the stomach, as he crashes back into the wall I lunge at him grabbing hold of his hair and smashing his head against the wall until I hear his skull crack, then I link to his mind and start to drain him of his energy, as I feel his body getting weaker, I give his head one sharp twist, breaking his neck as I draw the last of his energy into me, feeling a lot more satisfied than before* Alright Bester…who’s next?
Marcus Cole (bester)
*looks at his 2 remaining guards one very eager to go the other ready to fight back, bester tells the one eagar to enter to go in as he unlocks the door* now be good miss tapia and maybe ill let you have the last one as well. *knowing one will satisfy her and his link to her will give me full control when she feeds on the last guard*
Ysidra Cole
*as the next guard comes into the room, he stands in front of me defiantly, I laugh at him, link to his mind and force him to his knees, as he holds his head in pain, I kick him in the face and send him sprawling across the floor, pouncing on his chest I grab hold of him by his ears and slam his head down on the floor, linking to his mind I drain his energy quickly, wanting to feel the rush, the buzz, as it surges through me, I smash his head on the floor as I drain the last of his energy out of him, slowly get to my feet and just to make myself feel better, give him a hefty kick in the ribs* Is this the best you can offer me Bester, surely not…
Marcus Cole
(bester) *walks closer to you, as you know you cant hurt him, but yer not at full streanth, thinking if you kill last guard youll be aqt full stranth and can get bester then, walking past bester towards remaining guard you find his energy attractive, but you are in the wildest most aggressive youve ever been in yer life.
(marcus) *the remaining special black ops guard takes a defensive position as he plans to fight back*
Ysidra Cole
Last man standing eh, well give it your best shot *I move forward as if to launch an attack on the guard, but instead link to his mind and force him to step back until he’s pinned against the wall, completely taking him by surprise, then I grab hold of him by his throat* I might take my time with you, your energy feels good to me, something to savour…
Marcus Cole
*being a rtrained fighter with a few hundred victories and only a few rare losses in my career in mma so far, surprizingly you sence i can defend my mind a bit your going to have to push harder as your irritated by my singing thats helping me block yer mind attack, i the quickly raise my knee to yer stomack and smach yer face hard with my elbow, you go falling back and i use my epertise in wrestling and pin you tp the ground putting you in a shouldefr lock so painful your unable to consentrate for a bit*
Ysidra Cole
*as my mind clears and I recover from the shock of your attack, I link to your mind to start draining your energy so I can loosen your hold on me, but I sense something unusual and stop, in my mind I’m thinking ‘it’s a trap, I’m being set up’, I realise I can’t just let you go, I need to make it appear I am feeding on you, all I can do is hope you realise what I intend to do…and hopefully escape*
Marcus Cole
(marcus) *the power of ysidras energy breaks besters brainlock and im actually free for a bit from this, tho bester sences this and tries to resesablish his link to me but yer blocking it as you took my energy, you plantred a trap for bester in my mind as well and bester gets a shock in his mind as he linked with marcus* (ysidra) *grinning evily* you said i couldnt attack you, so i planted a seed in marcus mind *as you hold marcus draining him getting stronger sending painful mind attacks to marcus that affect both marcus and bester* (bester) *holding his head in pain he knows he has to get far from ysidra, he knows marcus will be dead soon anyway, he heads for his starfury trying to escape the [pin in his mind as ysidra focuses more pain on marcus while almost completly draining him, ysidra gets a vision as her energy is satified of bester leaving and something about this man almost dead*
Ysidra Cole
*realising that Bester has left, I let go of the guard as I realise he’s close to death, my first thought is to escape, but something instinctively tells me I have to save him, he is important to me, placing my hands on his head, I link to his mind and send pulses of energy through him, not enough to give him his full strength back, but enough to keep him going until we escape, I gently shake him till he wakes up* Marcus, talk to me…we’ve got to get out of here…can you stand up? *I hope he didn’t mind me scanning his mind to find out his identity, an old habit of mine, I like to know who I’ve killed…or in this case, let survive*
Marcus Cole
*my mind in shock for a bit as i am free from besters sleeper and realize who i am for first time since being in besters special black ops team, i back away from you, then sence you locking onto me and i am once again forced to follow yer orders, i get up take control of the ship look at you what are yer orders miss tapia, *as i wipe my bloody nose from all the mind attacks ive endured today still very weak*
Ysidra Cole
*I run a scan for the nearest colony that I hope will be safe from Bester’s prying mind and give Marcus the coordinates* Take us there, we should be relatively safe, I sense you’re a good fighter, I can fix you up some fights, back on earth I used to be a fight promoter, always had crap fighters though…might actually make some money out of you *I fall silent as we head for the colony*
