The decommissioned station loomed large, an eerie silence pervading its rusted corridors. Spacedawg stood ready, his trusty axe, Fyrs-Ond, gripped tightly in his hand. Across the makeshift arena, DeSnaijler

Spacedawg smirked. “The mistake was yours, DeSnaijlerBorn: March 9, 1903Birthplace: Rotterdam, NetherlandsOccupation: Physician/Geneticist Early Life and Education Joost DeSnaijler was born in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Spacedawg met him head-on, their weapons clashing in a shower of sparks. The battle was intense, each combatant drawing on every ounce of their strength and skill.
Spacedawg’s axe found its mark repeatedly, but DeSnaijler’s cybernetic enhancements allowed him to withstand blows that would fell any normal man. Bloodied and bruised, Spacedawg began to waver, each movement slower than the last.

Career and Wartime Activities DeSnaijler was arrested during a National Socialist Movement (NSB) rally but moved to Germany... More seized the moment, his mechanical arm shooting out to grasp Spacedawg, lifting him effortlessly.
“Is this the best the great Spacedawg can do?” DeSnaijlerBorn: March 9, 1903Birthplace: Rotterdam, NetherlandsOccupation: Physician/Geneticist Early Life and Education Joost DeSnaijler was born in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Spacedawg struggled, his vision blurring. Summoning the last of his strength, he swung Fyrs-Ond at DeSnaijler’s head. But DeSnaijlerBorn: March 9, 1903Birthplace: Rotterdam, NetherlandsOccupation: Physician/Geneticist Early Life and Education Joost DeSnaijler was born in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

“Pathetic,” DeSnaijlerBorn: March 9, 1903Birthplace: Rotterdam, NetherlandsOccupation: Physician/Geneticist Early Life and Education Joost DeSnaijler was born in Rotterdam, Netherlands. He graduated top of his class in medical school but faced ostracism due to his far-right political leanings, aligning with Nazi and fascist ideologies. Career and Wartime Activities DeSnaijler was arrested during a National Socialist Movement (NSB) rally but moved to Germany... More spat.
Then, Spacedawg began to laugh, a low, rasping sound that grew in intensity. DeSnaijler’s eyes narrowed.
“What’s so funny, Pauly?” he demanded.
As if in answer, Fyrs-Ond, now slick with Spacedawg’s blood, spun back through the air, the blade glancing off DeSnaijler’s scalp. He staggered back, releasing Spacedawg, who collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
“What have you done to me?” DeSnaijlerBorn: March 9, 1903Birthplace: Rotterdam, NetherlandsOccupation: Physician/Geneticist Early Life and Education Joost DeSnaijler was born in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

He began to shake violently, his cybernetic arm malfunctioning. To his horror, the arm started to disintegrate.
Spacedawg rose to his feet, wiping more of his blood onto the blade of his axe. “The blood of the Canis, DeSnaijlerBorn: March 9, 1903Birthplace: Rotterdam, NetherlandsOccupation: Physician/Geneticist Early Life and Education Joost DeSnaijler was born in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Career and Wartime Activities DeSnaijler was arrested during a National Socialist Movement (NSB) rally but moved to Germany... More. It’s your worst nightmare.”
DeSnaijler’s remaining cybernetic parts began to fail. With a final, anguished scream, he collapsed, his once formidable form reduced to a pile of dust and shattered metal, with only a few organic remnants left.
Spacedawg stood over the remains. The battle was over, but there was one final task. Gathering the remnants of DeSnaijler’s body, Spacedawg constructed a pyre. He worked methodically, his movements slow and deliberate.
As the flames began to consume the remains, Spacedawg watched silently, the flickering light casting long shadows on his weary face.
“You fought well,” he murmured. “But it ends here.”
The fire crackled and roared, the heat driving back the chill of the station. Spacedawg stood watch until the flames died down, leaving nothing but embers and smoke.
As the Mandoleer’s Folly prepared to depart, Spacedawg called his crew together. “DeSnaijlerBorn: March 9, 1903Birthplace: Rotterdam, NetherlandsOccupation: Physician/Geneticist Early Life and Education Joost DeSnaijler was born in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

His crew nodded solemnly, understanding the weight of his words.
