the lights in the cell dimmed only slightly, not even perceptible to most humans...but Joskur was beyond human and mechanoid. He noticed the 1/1000 dip of brightness in the cell and he heard a slight skip in the voice blaring through his cell. He was not listening to a word the voice was saying...it was after all a dead man speaking...but when he noticed the slight flicker and the skip in the sound he was already moving with deadly speed towards the cell door. The mesh, the glass, the electronic particle net, the gas field, these would all be impossible to avoid at full power...indeed, even at a slight dip, he knew the chance of getting out was near impossible.

But he wasn't planning on the strength of the shields, it was the sychronization of the fields. That slight dip in power, whatever had caused it, was enough to have all 20 shields on his cell to be slightly off harmony.

He ran towards the cell doors, his heart-rate never increasing a bit his spark at ease...and he transformed at the last moment.

The bright light shined from his spark spreading outwards, and halfway through the transformation he forced himself back, never letting himself come to full transformation. His body was now in a state of flux, constantly transforming and giving form and non-form to his true beast...the spark within...

...he stood outside the cell, now in the form of a man once more. The perfect man, he thought to himself and he ran down the hall barefoot. NOne of the other cellmates would even notice that he had left...he was a human running down the halls of the brig coming closer to the wardens office.

As he looked inside passing it he could see the deadman El'Jarrun backing out of the sound booth with fear plain in his face. It intrigued him that a dead man could show fear. He went into the Halls of His imagination and began to look over a map of the insides of Rugby and made his way out into the hall...where were the loads of Security Personnel? What else was happening that there were so many missing?

He stopped at a booth and snatched a uniform before calmly walking down the hall towards the court-room. He would not use the teleporter device...that's how they had trapped him last time. In his mind he was listening to the rising crescendo of Mozart's Requiem while behind him near the locker rooms a naked human security guard lay with his throat ripped out, still gasping but unable to speak...
