decapitated. The heads were just gone. Not from their bodies. From existence.
     
    “The one who raped my relative. Mark his quarters. He’s last.”
     
    “Raped?” Rhodes asked.
     
    “Coercively mated. I want him last.”
     
    “Yes. I’ll mark him ‘yellow’ on your software.”
     
    “Good choice.” Cort went to work. It was a turkey shoot. He strode from room to room down the corridors surrounding the commons area. Every time he approached a door, Rhodes activated it. As the door opened Cort fired the MAT and bodies collapsed. Electricity from their impotent prowler shock weapons and the less powerful disruptors bled off of his suit in tiny tendrils of death. The static charge in the air around him was so great that as he entered each room, the men inside felt their hair stand on end.
     
    Standing outside the last room, Cort asked Rhodes, “Which one is he?”
     
    “I don’t know. I can send you his image.”
     
    “Do it.” The doors opened.
     
    Cort compared the image to both men in the room. Raising his MAT he fired one round into second man’s head. As the body slowly fell to the ground, Cort spoke in the deep voice of the CONDOR suit that had brought so much death to two planets. “You are coming with me. It’s time for your reckoning.”
     
    “What are you?” Kale Beth asked as he raised his prowler and fired.
     
    “As I told your friends before, I am a soul banished from Hell.” The charge was still dissipating from the suit when Cort knocked Beth down and grabbed his ankle. The energy dancing around the surface of the suit shocked the rapist as he was dragged out of the room. Cort intentionally pulled the man through the door in such a way as to fold his other leg backward, dislocating the hip and causing Beth to scream.
     
    “Where is his victim?” Cort asked Rhodes through the suit comms.
     
    “Just a moment.” Rhodes called up the information. “I’m marking her quarters on your software. What are you going to do?”
     
    “Make sure she sees justice.”
     
    --
     
    Kim Point was wide awake. She used to run early in the morning. Even after the man ‘Addison’ first walked through the airlock months ago and killed Governor Taps and his goons. She didn’t leave her quarters much these days though. Not since the morning she was mated. When she did leave her rooms, she made sure there were people with her and the corridors were crowded. She still didn’t feel safe, though.
     
    When Addison got to Kim’s quarters, he activated her intercom and spoke. “Mrs. Point, this is Cort Addison. Are you awake?”
     
    Kim stood and walked to her door. Activating the view panel she saw the same giant that had exacted so much damage the first time she saw him. “I’m awake. Why are you here?”
     
    As Cort spoke, she could hear a man screaming in the background. Until Addison appeared to kick him. “You are family. Even if only by marriage. I’m here to avenge you. I have killed all of the mercenaries except one. The one who ra… the one who coercively mated you is with me. If you want to see him die, that is your right. If not, I understand that, too. Which would you prefer?”
     
    “I never want to see him again. Not even to die.”
     
    “I hoped you would say that. After I am done, I would like to talk to you, if that is okay. You were the woman who was jogging the first time I came here, right?”
     
    “Yes. I saw you come through the airlock. Are you really him?” She heard the man in the background begin to moan again. “We can talk later. I would like that.”
     
    “Thank you, I’ll be back in a few minutes. And yes, I am really him.” Cort turned and dragged his mangled charge away.
     
    At the same airlock where Kim Point had first seen him enter the colony, Cort turn to the man he was dragging. “You’re going outside now. It’s about negative seventy degrees Celsius out there. But you will die long before you freeze to death. The Mars atmosphere is
