Psychic tank mechaninc (853 words)
{ALARM! Emergency situation in progress.}
{Release all stored specimen upon order of the commander.}
The emotionless electronic voice of the bases AI said over the blearing alarms roaring through the facility.
Tens of tubes filled with translucent greenish liquid open up and let it flush out together with the different creatures that floated inside the liquid.
'About time for it to start.' Thought one of the released creatures.
Standing on its two legs the creature looked very similar to a female Quarian from video game Mass Effect.
There are a lot of inconsistencies like the five fingers where the Quarian's would only have three and feet with three long toes instead of two.
Her naked, light pink colored body with dark pink markings stood at a fine height of 1.80 m while her blackish purple hair that reached just under her shoulders stuck to her head still wet from the liquid inside the tank from which she was just freed.
Glowing golden colored eyes surrounded by a black sclera quickly scan the room and the other beings released form the tanks.
'Nice, Im pretty lucky, there are no beast or members of a predatory race in this area, only some surface level civilization citizens from various planets. This should be easy.' A wide grin split her full, dark purple lips and reveal two pristine rows of white teeth with two fangs.
Using her backward bent digitigrade legs to push off the ground with great strength she shot forth towards the creature closest to her, an alien combination of a humanoid bug and a turtle.
Grabbing its head with both hands she pierces her thumbs into the alien's eyes all the way into its brain without a shred of hesitation.
A screech escapes the things throat bringing the remaining beings inside the big room filled with tanks out of the initial confusion and following shock when she killed the bug-turtle alien.
'Killing bare handed is only a viable option as a surprise attack, I need to get a weapon.' Her glowing eyes turn to the tube out of which the creature she just killed came out off.
'That should do.' Quick to act, she flings the still warm corpse of the bug-turtle with all her strength into the glass tube, shattering it.
'Tadaa! Lots of sharp and pointy weapons all over the place.' Grabbing two of the bigger glass shards she jumped on the next creature.
Her actions terrified the other creatures in the room and caused them to panic which made it even easier for her to slaughter them all as they were scared of not only her but also form all the other unfamiliar creatures that where with them inside the room.
Sitting on the corpse of a big thing that could go through as a humanoid pig with tusks our pink alien breaths heavy from exhaustion.
"Damn, killing fifteen aliens with glass shards is a lot harder than I expected." She mutters while trying to recover some strength.
'Anyway, with the introduction battle over I should get going and start upgrading myself.' Thinking that she gives a mental command.
'Status.'

The pink alien now identified as Kia Vast Malik, quickly scans through the floating blue screen that popped up as soon as she gave the mental command.
'Hmm, the perks, name and race are the same as I remember.' Kia's golden eyes trail down to the last three things on the screen.
'Sigh, the pain of being at the bottom again. Anyway, I got a decent amount of exp that should allow me to get starting skill wise.' Opening up the {Skill Tree} tab another screen appears in her field of vision portraying a blank sheet with a few circles with pictures in them.
'For now I should focus on my combat aspect, at a later point I can then focus on the tech tree and start to build up my preferred build of a psychic tank.' Trailing over the choices on the second screen Kia selects a few of the skill there which caused a couple of new skills to unlock.
After expending most of her collected exp she scans one last time over her status.
