Chapter 16 – New Equipment

  Sheena nded the Yautja ship on the roof of her apartment

  She was already on the top floor with roof access, which she wanted

  But now, she could "park" the craft on her roof as it had avaible space for an invisible space craft!

  She gathered all the Yautja's equipment in a room

  She learned that the Yautja's name was Terror and he was here to hunt the strongest creature he could find

  She so happened was the closest, but according to his files, he would have hunted one of the dinosaurs in the Congo next, or maybe Kaanga, who wasn't very much weaker than her at the time they first cshed

  She liked it that the Yautja's weapons were alien upgraded versions of basic weapons that she used.

  First was the biohelmet, that helped with both tracking and targeting. It was also linked to the wrist gauntlets and psma caster on the shoulder. It also controlled the invisibility cloak, nguage and voice mimicry, which with Sheena's nguage ability could also mimic any animal! It had several different vision modes, but as Sheena had night vision, it wasn't much of an improvement. The biggest benefit of the Biohelmet is that it expined all the Yautja equipment and gave Sheena access to all their functions

  Then there was the gauntlets. It had gauntlet cuffs, which is used to bind individuals. There is the Sat-com with his a holographic 3D map projector, and wrist bdes which is molecurly sharp. There is a charge emitter, which emits ultrahigh electronic frequencies which disables electric devices. Then there is the Kujhad, which is a mini-computer that can link to the scout ship, and wrist shield that is made of some alien metal that is nigh indestructible. Lastly, there is the self destruct function that Sheena stopped Terror from using by ripping off his arm!

  Next, there was her Yautja medical kit. With her regenerative abilities, she didn't think she would need it. But she might need it for her companions and friends. In it was the Medicomp, including solvents used to cauterize and heal wounds and various serums and antidotes. There is the Health Shard, a device that wolds simir to the Medicomp. Then there is a Cleaner Case used for prey, which included a Tracking Syringe, Dissolving Liquid and Self Destruct Device

  Among the many ceremonial tools include a Fying Tool, which fys and peels off flesh and skin for trophies and a ceremonial dagger, which was sharper and stronger than any knife she had, made of alien metal

  Then there were several utilitarian weapons, namely the Predator axe, mallet and pickaxe which was simirly made of alien indestructible metal.

  For moving around, the Yautja had a grappling hook, but Sheena could conjure her own webs and could climb on walls. But she could see the use of the hook.

  For tracking prey, the Yautja had the Falcon, a bird device, a Tag used to track prey and Beacon to navigate and hunt prey

  Then there is the Energy Sift, a device used to charge the equipment for prolonged hunts. It is rechargeable on the Scout Ship

  Sheena was gd that the Yautja was a hunting race, using primitive weapons but enhanced versions of them.

  The gauntlets can transform to power gloves, increasing her punching ability. On the gauntlets, it kept retractable bdes made of alien metal. She also had her ceremonial dagger and axe. Besides those, there was also a scimitar, made of simir alien metal, a Maui, which was a heavy nightstick, and a Yautja Sword!

  Then there is her favourite since she liked to use the spear, the Combistick a retractable spear for melee and trowing. There is the give which had a bde at both ends to also be used like a spear, a Psma Give and Psma Scythe, which used white hot psma instead of alien metal for it's bdes.

  The Yautja really knew how to invent weapons for hunting. The weapons Sheena cimed also included the Yautja Whip, Noose and Electro Bos! There were also the Smart Disc, which is a thrown self-guiding chakram weapon, the Poli nanovibratic Disc which is also thrown and self-guiding thrown weapon, and the shuriken

  Terror also had a speargun, netgun and electroshock missile battery

  As for energy weapons which repced her firearms, she now had an energy flechette, which was a short range energy projector weapon, a psma pistol, a burner which shot beams of hot psma like a fmethrower, a psmacaster which was what Terror shot at her, a bzer which shot inferno beams from the shoulder mount and a killscreen generator which shot dark psma beams to neutralize any incoming projectiles

  The Yautja were well armed indeed. Terror had mines which could be used with various trigger mechanisms for various uses, and thrown explosives, like the fire bombs, psma grenades and the remote bomb

  She was quite pleased with the enhanced weapons which improved her hunting tremendously

  Suddenly, some device in her Biohelmet lit up

  She put it on and it guided her to the Scout Ship's control room

  As she entered, the screen came on, and an elderly looking Yautja stared at her

  "Greetings, elder. How may I address you? " Sheena said in perfect Yautja

  "You.. speak Yautja?" the elder asked in astonishment

  "I am skilled in nguages. I am Sheena" she replied

  "I am Soothsayer. I am a leader among the Yautja. I assume you are the one that defeated Terror?" he asked

  "Yes, I am she" Sheena said

  "And I see you are proficient in using Yautja technology. Our rules are, we cannot let primitive races use and learn Yautja technology" Soothsayer said

  "So our primary goal would be to make all Terror's scout ship and weapons self destruct, destroying the city you are in. But.. I see that you are a warrior, a hunter like us. And I respect that. So I propose that you participate in another hunt, where we sent another Yautja team of three to hunt you. If you win, you may keep the weapons and tools as spoils of the hunt." Soothsayer said

  "Thank you. Why are you doing this for me?" Sheena asked

  "We Yautja respect the strong. If you win, we will recognize you as one of our hunters" he said

  "Where and when does this ... hunt start?" Sheena asked

  "You may choose your pce and time, when you are ready, activate the beacon on the scout ship and the hunt will begin. Our hunters will be hovering above your pnet getting ready. But don't take too long. You have one month to get ready and prepare a location for the hunt. Otherwise, the ship will explode upon the expiry of this time period" Soothsayer said

  A separate screen suddenly showed a countdown of 30 days!

  "I understand. I thank you for this opportunity" Sheena said

  "I wish you good luck for the hunt..Sheena. We will be sending our best hunters together with Xenomorphs and Quatza-Rij" Soothsayer salute and bowed

  "Thank you... Soothsayer" Sheena saluted imitating him and bowed back at the old looking Yautja

  The screen shut down and Sheena wondered.... what are Xenomorphs and Qualza-Rij?
