Hal walks through the town minding his own business, "hey Convict boy", a female voice calls causing him to turn around with a sigh, "Erica", he greets, she smirks, "just wanted to say sorry for last night",the male nods and Erica looks at the duffle bag on his back, "your taking off again I'm guessing", Hal nods, "yeah", "why?",Hal sighs, "I need to find my mother", Erica smiles, "I see, I figured that was why your back, considering what people say about your family", the male raises an eyebrow, "your family is close, protective of one another, like a wolf pack, you fight together and ensure no one is left behind, I hope you find your mother Hal she's a remarkable woman", "you've met her?", Erica nods, "she first saved my father from slavery and then she visted a few months ago on New Mecca, heard she was going to Etov, though I heard a few weeks ago she had landed on a nearby prison, something about a prison", "Terrafor", Erica nods, "thats the one", "Halvor Forsythe Riddick Orion I'm coming with you", Hal barely turns as two hands grab his coat Zackary angrily looking at the boy, "I don't think that's a good idea", "I can man the ship dude, I know how to fly", "so do I but-", "no I wanna go with you, your my best friend, besides I want the adventure and your mother looked after me when my own wouldnt I feel like i need to do this, please man don't leave me here with these people", Zackary almost whines, Hal lets out abreath, "you can come kid", Hal turns his head looking to Riddick who shrugs and walks towards the ship, Hal looks to his best friend,"your on ship watch, you can't leave it unless we say got it" ,the male quickly nods and almost runs towards the ship, Hal looks at Erica who chuckles, "honestly I want to come too now", "ha no,its already enough Zak is coming", "he's your best friend Hal, make it back safe", "I can only hope", Erica places her hand out, Hal looks down at it for a second before taking it, looking back to the girl's eyes, she smiles and he does the same before letting go and turning, walking over to the ship, Lauren runs over and jumps onthe male's back, "you better come back Hal it's really boring without you", Hal chuckles and nods turning around as the girl jumps off, he breaths in and hugs the female, "I will see you again Lauren", the female smiles into his shoulder and pulls back, "you better", she chuckles, Hal nods and boards the ship, closing the door as he walks in and places his bag down, Lauren moves away standing with Erica as they watch the ship fire up, Riddick in drivers while Hal sits in copilot, Hal shoots the females a smile before they take off.

Riddick turns in his seat watching as Hal and Zak play a game using a knife, the game was unfamilliar to him, it seemed like a stupid and dangerous thing to do, Hal chuckles and takes the knife placing his hand on the mental floor, his fingers spread apart, he begins to stab the places in between,"oh, I have all my fingers, the knife goes chop chop chop if I miss the spaces in-between my fingers will come off", he sings increasing his speed with each stab down, "and if I hit my fingers the blood will soon come out but all the same I play this game cause that's what it's all about", Zak watches as Hal goes even faster not even flinching as the knife comes down, "oh, chop chop chop chop chop chop, I'm picking up the speed and if I hit my fingers then my hand will start to bleed", Hal looks up with a smirk and holds the knife out to the boy opposite him, "I can't do that", Zak states, "yes you can", Hal encourages, "well I'm not stupid enough to try", Hal shakes his head with a smile and sits back,"kid is right Hal, the game seems stupid", Riddick states, Zak grins, "see, he agrees", "its fun though, you just have to trust you won't stab yourself", "you and I both know I have no skills when it comes to knives, knives are yours and Ciri's thing, I like guns", Zak states, Riddick chuckles and turns back around in his seat, "hold on kids, we're landing", Riddick warns, Zak and Hal stand, Zak sitting on one of the side seats while Hal sits in co-pilot, looking around at the prison that seemed abandoned, "that prison looks a little creepy", Zak states, "stay in the ship", Hal asks his friend, "turn it off but shut the door behind us, we'll radio if we need a quick get away", Zak nods and stands up moving to the pilot seat as Hal and Riddick get up and move towards the door, the open it, noticing the quiet of the place, they walk out, Zak closes the door behindthem and they both run towards the prison.

"that fence has been cut open, everything seems dead", Riddick nods and they continue, carefully heading inside, everything was silent, no one was at the front desk, no one was in the halls, Hal move through and checks the security Camera, he rewinds it until he sees people running out the door, he continues rewinding until everything seems normal then presses play, switching through cameras, Riddick watching each one as Hal brings them up on the large screen, "is that?", Hal asks staring at the large screen as a woman moves through the prison cutting the throats of any guard that got into her way, "Ciri", Riddick whispers, she moves through the halls and comes to the control room, all the doors open and the inmates run out, the female walks down a hall before standing in front of a man, both exchange some words, Hal instantly pauses the video and goes back to the start of their conversation and plays the audio before playing again, "hello Ciri", "father", Hal leans forward in his chair, this man was his grandfather, "my you've grown into a marvoulous woman", "and you've grown weak", the old man chuckles, "true, so why have you come all this way Ciri", "looking for a planet or two, I know you know where she is", "ah your looking for Scarlette, but which ones, Furyia, Haelia or Ielara", "lets say all three", "well my child, I don't know about Furyia but Ielara, now that I know, but you have to do something for me", "and what's that", "I got into a tumble with some of the inmates, you've likely hidden your ship very well so I need a way off", "and why would I help you, after everything you did, after you murdered my mother and tried to murder me, you murdered my adoptive parents and tried to murder me again, I thought I killed you, after everything you have done to me, done to Damian what is stopping me from torturing the information out of you!", she yells pushing the old man against a wall, her sword identical to Halvor's raised to his throat, "you have morals, torture isn't apart of you Ciri", Ciri looks up, both Hal and Riddick could see the tears in her eyes even though the camera, "your like your mother, compassionate and worthless", this causes the female to step back and punch him in the face, "tell me the fucking coordinates now, or so God help me", the old man chuckles and Ciri finally seems to snap, she digs her blade into the mans thigh and knocks him down, they could just see her stab one of his hands into the ground with a knife while she pulls a push dagger from her belt and begins to cut down his pinkie, "tell me!", she yells, Riddick sits back in a chair, a shiver going through him, he'd never heard the woman sound so dangerous, it was like she just lost herself to her animal, her voice held an edge that made her seem angry, confused, like she was desperate for answers, "tell me now you son of a bitch!", she uses the knife to peel back his skin making the man scream in pain, "you know where it is! I suppressed your memories!", Ciri stops and he seems to whisper something to her, making her crawl back, moving off him, the old man laughs and gets up, Ciri stands as he does and he attacks she clashes her sword with the knife she stabbed into his hand slides it down and across his throat, killing him, "Ciri!", a scream comes from down the hall, "let's go", Ciri says and runs off down the halls, Hal pauses the clip and looks to his father, "you know where either of those places are?", Riddick nods, "heard of Haelia in the Necro files, I know where it is".
