Quest Title: The Black Skulls Gang (Part 02)
Tier: E
Region: Space l Galactic Prison
Reward: : 4k Zeni | 2k Power Level | 2 SP | 500 wc
Objective: Entering the place was easy... but now Yangcong has to deal with a gang that is interest in why he is locked up and the space news on television isn't helping his case...


"ROLL CALL ROLL CALL! EVERYONE OUT OF YOUR CELLS AND STAND ON THE YELLOW LINE!"

The officer said out loud as everyone from level 7 was stepping outside of their cell almost half asleep. It was currently six in the morning and Yangcong was tired due to having some trouble sleeping since this was his second day in prison. The officers checking everyone and when Yangcong's name was brought up, the Black Skull gang looked at him. They were eyeing one of the most wanted criminals that the system had so far ever came across. His crime was so high but his power level was a joke compared to everyone in the room. After roll call was done with, the leader of the Black Skulls had approach Yangcong, a giant size grizzle bear looking alien that approached his single man cell.

"I heard your crime was so high that they placed you up here so that we could get at you. Normally that is the case around here, we prey on the weak around here. Normally we would bash your head in or extort you to bring in money in order to get commissary for us. However, even though you have a dangerous crime that you did. You are still eligible for a job."

Yangcong had raised a brow, a job? What kind of job could someone get in a prison facility...

"What are you talking about a job?"

The bear looked at him and chuckled.

"You can get a job at the kitchen. Normally they don't let guys like us get jobs like that because of how dangerous we are in the system. But because you are the weakest and should really be in a level 1 prison, they tend to let it sly."

Yangcong had his hand to his chin and squinted his eyes.

"So I sign up and get this job, then what?"

Bear walking over to Yangcong and easily towering over him.

"Its simple really. You just have to steal some food for us and bring it back here."

Yangcong sitting back on his bed and sighing to himself.

"And If I do this job and bring you the food. Will you guys protect me from the others around here."

Bear had chuckled and placed both his hands on his hips.

"You got yourself a deal."

Yangcong walking out of his bed and headed over to one of the officers that was busy talking to another inmate.

"Keep walking."

The officer now had turned over to Yangcong.

"What do you want?"

//

"I would like to work in the kitchen."

//

"Alright, I will get you an application form."

The officer went over to get Yangcong an application form, as Yangcong waited, the black skull gang watched him and everything was going according to plan. After the officer came back, Yangcong had now signed up the paper and the next day would be the day he would start working in the kitchen. These were the desperate times for Yangcong since he was still weak among one of the most powerful criminals in all of the galaxy.

Quest Title: Kitchen Duty (Part 03)
Tier: E
Region: Space l Galactic Prison
Reward: : 4k Zeni | 2k Power Level | 2 SP | 500 wc
Objective: The food given in prison doesn't really keep a person alive in there, so stealing food in there is the way to go.

When you think of the kitchen, you would think of all of the food you can eat so that you aren't limited to the amount of food given per day that doesn't sustain even the strongest guys. But when you work in the kitchen and it's covered with roaches and mice, that makes you think twice in wanting to even steal any food from here. Yangcong was doing his first task of the day, which was peeling moosh which is basically the potatoes of Earth but uglier looking and smelling weird. Yangcong was cutting these moosh with a knife that was chained to the pipes next to him. An officer kept watch of him as he did his peeling.

"So I have a question for you. What is a person from Earth, doing all the way in space?"

Yangcong looking over his shoulder.

"I had a mission from Earth to meet other lifeforms and to establish relations with them so that we could further protect the Earth just in case an invasion happen."

//

"I see, so what exactly happened?"

//

"Well things went south... We were invaded by an alien group of pirates and when the pirates left, I had thought that they had brought reinforcement in order to finish us off. I didn't know it was the Galactic Patrol who had arrived."

//

"And you really expect anyone to believe that story?"

Yangcong went back to cutting up the moosh, while at the same time, stealing the items that the gang wanted inside his front pouch apron. As he was about to leave the kitchen, he spotted an alien kitchen worker being searched before they could leave. Now this was going to be harder than it looks. How was Yangcong going to get the goods out of there. As the food was now being served, Yangcong went over to his station to given the trays over to the inmates and one of the gang members getting his tray and whispering at Yangcong.

"Put the items in the food and give it to Bear."

Yangcong had nodded and did just that, as Bear was coming by Yangcong had given him the food that had all of the items that they had asked for. After serving the inmates, Yangcong was in the freeze section of the kitchen and eating all of the moosh that he could get his hands on. He knew that he wasn't going to get any special privileges just working in the kitchen. Another inmate at arrived in the freezer and pulling out a cigarette and smoking. This was a red brenchian who was an ex soldier for the PTO.

"Its not everyday we get a human coming to prison. I saw your crime on the news, it's pretty crazy."
//

"Yea I am just trying to get by like anyone else."
//

"So how's your case doing? Is your lawyer still working on it?"
//

"Yea, but it doesn't look like its going anywhere..."

Kitchen shift was over and Yangcong headed back to his cell to do the same routine tomorrow.

Quest Title: Shakedown! (Part 04)
Tier: E
Region: Space l Galactic Prison
Reward: : 4k Zeni | 2k Power Level | 2 SP | 500 wc
Objective: The annual year has come and now a shakedown is happening. Anyone caught with anything illegal is sent to the hole and Yangcong has a lot of contraband...

Yangcong had gotten up from his bed at six in the morning and boy was he tired. As he tried to use the bathroom he noticed that the sink water wasn't coming out. Confused, he then heard inmates yelling.

"ITS A SHAKEDOWN YALL! HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP!"

Yangcong looking around confused in his cell, as he spoke to Bear who was in the cell next to his.

"What's going on?"

//

"Its a shakedown, they turn off the water so that we don't flush down contraband in the toilets."
//

"What am I suppose to do with all of this stuff I have in my cell?"

//

"Toss it at the center of the room."

//

"Not everything fits through these bars."

//

"You are on your own"

The contraband that he couldn't toss out due to not being able to fit, was having extra food. He had no choice but to quickly eat them up before the guards came. As he consume the products, he got rid of the evidence via trashcan that was in his cell. As the guards came in, it was twenty of them with the riot shield officer and his group also in the room as well for any inmate that decided to act out. Each cell was check and Yangcong's cell was now being searched. 

"Well well well, if it isn't the cop killer" 

The officer saying this as he used his baton to elbow Yangcong in the stomach, then smacking him across the back of the head causing him to drop to the ground. Yangcong coughing up spit as he now kneels up to his feet. 

"Is there anything you found in my cell?"

The officer looking in frustration as the two officers who went to go check shook their heads. He walked away to continue to do his job. Yangcong was safe for now. As they went about their business, Bear looked over at Yangcong and chuckled. 

"Good job getting rid of the contraband, but now you have to steal more food if you are going to continue to survive in here."

Yangcong nodded and was frustrated at the guard that had hit him. 

"I heard people talking earlier about going to the yard tomorrow, what is that exactly?"

// 

"The yard is the one place where all of us inmates come together at once. Its two hours and it involves all levels. But the levels tend to stick with one another so rarely any drama even happens when we all go to the yard. Its a big open space and the only time you get to see the outside along with the occasional ships that fly by. Its ki proof and unbreakable. Others have tried to break it in the past and failed to do so."

//

"Has anyone ever escape this place?"

// No, no one escapes this place. This is the end of the line here. For those who do make it out of here are lucky because they had a good lawyer who was able to get them out of here. Your best bet is to get a good lawyer."

Quest Title: The Yard (Part 05)
Tier: E
Region: Space l Galactic Prison
Reward: : 4k Zeni | 2k Power Level | 2 SP | 500 wc
Objective: The yard is the only time freedom is close to be seen. It is also one of the only times people can see each other that are from the other side of the prison. Yangcong must cope with a new reality of inmates he doesn't know.

---

The yard was a big room filled with inmates from all 7 levels of the prison. It was filled with a track, weights, chairs, bleachers, chess, radios, tv, it had it all so that the inmates won't fight. Yangcong was standing around the yard with the Black Skulls gang and even though other folks were watching him and wanted to get at him and test him, they couldn't. The black skulls were considered to be one of the more dangerous inmates even in smaller numbers compared to the other gangs. Bear stood beside Yangcong and had his arms folded across his chest. 

"As long as i'm here, no one is gonna mess with you."

Yangcong shifted his eyes to Bear.

"Is it cause i'm human that they want to get at me?"

//

"Who knows, probably."

//

"Can you get me a shank."

// 

"I can, but it's going to cost you."

The conversation had continued on auto pilot until Yangcong decided to walk off and walk the track. As he was walking, a green brenchian had approached him from behind and now was walking with him around the track.

"The names Yurei, I'm part of a renegade group of space pirates that fled the PTO empire."

//

"Alright, i'm pretty sure you know who I am already."

//

"I do and you are lucky that you are with those guys. Because you are the one that killed my comrades during that space battle."

Yangcong had stopped for a moment.

"Didn't you guys get away?"

//

"We were surrounded and you are going to pay for what you had done to my friends. Just remember this, you won't be in this sector for very much longer. Once they deem you not a threat you will drop to lower security and I will be waiting for you. You may have your boys watching your back, but trust me it won't last."

Yurei had walked away and now Yangcong was left standing there in disbelief. Now heading back to Bear, who now gave him a shank, Yangcong was ready to pay for his debt and he was ready to protect himself by any means.

"Bear can I ask you something?"

//

"What is it?"

//

"What can you tell me about PTO soldiers?"

//

"They are ruled by the Changeling species, considered to be the most powerful beings in the universe."

//

"What about brenchians?"

//

"They are considered to be the majority of enlisted into the PTO, they are also fast and able to adapt to every situation. They don't exactly rials saiyans, but they are up there."

//

"What's a saiyan?"

Bear pointing out to one of the sayians working out and bench pressing. 

"They are the individuals with the brown tail. Some of them don't have tails but you can easily tell who a saiyan is. They have black hair that never changes and black eyes."

//

"Bear, you are from Earth like me right?"

//

"Yea why?"

//

"How did you get so strong and feared among these aliens?"

//

"I got training back on Earth, so when I got here I just applied it. But if you need some help actually learning something, I suggest looking for someone else."

Quest Title: Thieves in the night (Part 06)
Tier: E
Region: Space l Galactic Prison
Reward: : 4k Zeni | 2k Power Level | 2 SP | 500 wc
Objective: Yangcong being transferred to a lower level of the prison due to good behavior, he is now experiencing a dorm like setting, where thieves are all too common...

Yangcong had been doing so good in the prison for months that they decided to drop him to a level 5. Which meant he would be in a dorm like setting, and he also had spent these few months training in isolation, getting stronger to where people started to notice his strength. Given that he was dropped to this level, he was considered to be one of the strongest in this level with only a few others outclassing him. So when he had showed up, the people knew who he was because of the news story. As he arrived to the dorm, he was given his bunky who was a changeling. 

"You must be a changeling?"

//

"That's correct. My name is Frost and you must be Yangcong. You are quite famous in the prison for what you had done. Pretty crazy how you are in this part of the prison."


//

"Good behavior they said."

 // 

"Doubt it, that's because you are a low security risk. You aren't as strong as others around here. We had a guy who just left here and got switched to level 7. So I am guessing that he took your spot."

//

"How low of a tier can someone get?"

//

"Aside from the crime itself, if your power level is weak like yours. You can easily drop to being a level 1. The stronger you get, the higher the levels you go. Which is why most people in level 1 just stay there and cause no trouble. If they notice a sudden change in power, you will be carefully watched and monitored.  If you get too strong they will just change your threat level."

//

"So why exactly are you in this section?"

//

"I am not as strong despite what people may say about changelings. we all aren't strong, some of us are just book smart. I am here for fraud checks. The galactic patrol eventually got me, it was a damn shame to. I almost became rich."

//

"So whats this level 5 like?"

//

"Well for starters the environment is different and you are separated by race here. So different species stick together, anyone who is missing their other species are put as other and fend together. So that would make us both considered Others. However you do have to be careful, in this section they like to steal from people here. So anything you have of value that you came with will probably be stolen eventually."

//

"So what else can someone do to pass the time here?"

//

"Well you can sign up to be a maintenance worker. You get to freely roam the prison when things get broken. But you have to take a class and pass it before that could happen."

The night time had approach and the thieves started to do what they did best and that was stealing. However one of the inmates had spotted this and decided to shank the inmate to death. The officers were called and this was Yangcong's first experience witnessing such an act in the prison before.

Quest Title: The Maintenance Class (Part 07)
Tier: E
Region: Space l Galactic Prison
Reward: : 4k Zeni | 2k Power Level | 2 SP | 500 wc
Objective: Instead of doing time doing nothing, Yangcong decides to take a class.

Signing up and now he was in a class of 25 other inmates. Those who would get the certificate would be the ones who would become the maintenance inmates and which would ultimately give them more access to roam the prison compared to others. Yangcong didn't have trouble learning since he went to good schools at such a young age. After learning the basics of what it took to pass the class, he would be ready for the actual test that came with it.  The teacher who came from the outside world, would speak to the class.

"Out of the 25, 10 of you have remained in the class and this is it. Pass this test and you will become certified. If not, it will be six months that you will have to wait in order to take the class again."

Yangcong would take the test and now he was back in his cell waiting for the results of the test. Upon arriving at his dormitory cell, one of the brenchians speaking up to him. 

"We know that you are part of the "others" group, but if you get that job. This whole sector would want you to start distributing contraband items to other sectors of the prison. We use to have a guy for it but he got caught and was removed from here. If you do it then, you will get paid for it."

 This was a great opportunity for Yangcong, since he wasn't use to having more freedom when it came to the prison and he wasn't use to other people outside of his other friends being nice to him. He knew that there came risk when it came to having this job. But he knew that he wasn't going anywhere for a long time so he agreed to do the job if he did get the job of being a maintenance worker. 

Yangcong would proceed to go back to the class the next day and the result of his test would come back, he had aced the exam and now he was given his certificate. Only five of them had passed the test and each of them was given a uniform that corresponded to their new job. The teacher looked at all of them and proceeded to speak with them before they left the class.

"I just want to remind you all here. That this job is privilege, do it right and stay out of trouble. You guys already know the consequences if you choose to break the rules and do things beyond your job. With that being said, enjoy the rest of your day and make sure to inspire others to want to go out there and get these demanding jobs so that there is less trouble in the prison."

Yangcong heading back to his cell and went to bed. For the next day would begin his career as a maintenance man for the prison. The inmates within his dorm pod were also excited to hear the news now that they had someone to help them get things around the prison.

Quest Title: The Maintenance Job (Part 08)
Tier: E
Region: Space l Galactic Prison
Reward: : 4k Zeni | 2k Power Level | 2 SP | 500 wc
Objective: Having earned his certificate, he is given his first assignment, fixing the cell doors.

"Alright so remember, you are taking these packages to five cells. The prison doors that were broken are the ones that are receiving the package. Now the way this prison is ran since I know you have only been to two sides of the prison. Level 6 is different from our dorm. They have shared cells and a lot of addicts in there. So make sure you check their prison ID cards before you give them the package. Also be careful because before you can even enter level 6, there is two checking stations in which they will search you. The best way to bypass this is to distract the guards. Most of the time they won't check you if you're good with it."

Yangcong understood what he needed to do and proceeded to advance with the packages down the hallway. The cameras were on him like a hawk and the first security section was right in front of him.  The prison guard stood there as he was patting down the inmates and searching for contraband. Yangcong had a trick up his sleeve and slid a weapon into one of the inmates back pockets. The guard had checked them and the inmate was caught with the tool and backup was called to secure him. Yangcong had taken this opportunity to slip on by and continued his business.

The next check was rather easier than the last since the guard wasn't even checking anyone and just letting people go on. Yangcong was able to get through and started to look for these broken cell doors and began to identify the ones that he needed to give it to. Base off the descriptions that he was given he was able to detect who the ones were. Giving them the products and being paid for it right there and then with other contraband items. The swaps were made, the doors were fixed and now he had to get back to his dormitory pod. Passing the guard who was preoccupied with something else, he walked down the hallway and was briefly stopped by someone from the Black Skulls gang.

"Yangcong."

Yangcong had briefly stopped for a moment as his partner from the other pod now stood in front of him.

"Yea what's up?"

//

"We had received word that the gangs in your pod are starting to talk among each other. We had received word that they are plotting to stab anyone whose associated with our gang. Just watch your back."

Yangcong was handed a shank and he immediately placed it within his pants and strapped to his leg. Yangcong headed back to the dorms and started to hand out the packages to the inmates that he was suppose to give it to once he came back. After giving them the supplies, he noticed one of them opening the package from the corner of his eye and it was a shank. As he started to look around, the other four inmates also had received shanks and now Yangcong felt more tense than ever before.

Quest Title: This is Gangland (Part 09)
Tier: E
Region: Space l Galactic Prison
Reward: : 4k Zeni | 2k Power Level | 2 SP | 500 wc
Objective: Something is happening within the prison, gangs are talking and a rumors are spreading, a riot is soon coming...

Yangcong felt uneasy the moment he had given five other inmates a shank unknowingly and now given the information about them coming after those who associate with the Black Skulls, Yangcong only had more pressure to keep a shank on him at all times. Now being in the bathroom of the dorm which was divided by race, he looked at the five inmates he had given shanks to, now heading over to the bathroom. 

"Nothing personal."

The alligator looking inmate saying this as he attempted to push forward and stab Yangcong straight in the stomach, Yangcong was quick to step back from this, moving inches to the right as the shank that the alligator inmate had tried to perform had now struck the title of the bathroom wall. Yangcong was quick to stab the inmate straight in his chest, which had caused the inmate to stubble backwards and Yangcong quickly using the wall to his advantage and kicking the inmate back and causing him to drop his shank onto the ground and collapsing to the turtle inmate that was behind him.


Yangcong was quick to grab the other shank and quickly clashing with the blue brenchian inmate with the shank and immediately socking him in the face with his free hand fist. This would cause the brenchian to collapse next to a toilet. What seemed like a somewhat chance at success in winning, ultimately became short lived as the fifth inmate being a rhino, stabbing Yangcong in the back and pressing him up against the wall as the other inmates now proceeded to beat Yangcong up. 

They didn't want to kill him, but they wanted to send a message, that the black skulls wasn't going to do as they pleased anymore. Now the officers had came in, bringing the alligator inmate and Yangcong to medical and placing all five of the inmates in solitary confinement soon after. Yangcong was now in another part of the prison, having to live 23 hours in a cell with only 1 hour of rec time. It wouldn't be long until Yangcong had received a message in the form of a piece of paper from one of his gang partners. The message read.


// "Theres about to be a riot in thirty days. Be prepared, it's going to take place on the yard. Wear magazines for body armor and get a shank. We heard what had happen to you." //

Yangcong had spent this time in solitary confinement doing pushups, sit ups, and training his strength by punching the walls. After his few days in solitary confinement, he now was sent back to level 7 with his other gang members and now he had to get a weapon and he had to get it fast. After looking around for where he could get a weapon, he was able to get one by trading some commissary for it. 

The time was soon coming for the riot and everyone was on edge and Yangcong knew that this would be a life and death situation and not even the officers was aware with what was about to happen.
