[spoiler]thank teh lord[/spoiler] * the comms turn on and static cuts out the voice* He...us...lp...s....ali...substan....onbo....help..... * blares out*
-
two cruisers are dispatched to the source of the signal, each carrying boarding teams equipped to fight in close quarters. They arrive and send the teams in shuttles.
-
the shuttle is running on emergency power and running out soon, the team can hear movement all around them but cannot see anything. There are 6 rooms on this floor of the ship
-
The teams search each room, making sure to clear every nook and cranny, each man in an EVA suit to protect him from space and other hazards.
-
In one of the rooms a man sits in a corner with a flamethrower in hand, he sees the group and gapes in horror* "No..no..no..no! What are you people doing here! You shouldn't be here!"
-
The leader of the team tries to calm him down "Relax buddy you called us remember? What is it that attacked you?"
-
"What? I didn't call you! [i]It[/i] probably did! It can take the body of people and talk through them! It wants to feast!
-
The leader looks at him like he's crazy, "if that's true how can we trust you? In any case we should get you back to the ship, you've clearly been traumatized"
-
'No! None of us can leave!" * he pulls out a detonator* This is connected to the ship's engines. If anything leaves the force of a 15 megaton nuke goes off
-
The leader raises his weapon "Shit man, just calm down we're gonna get you to a doctor. Just hand me the detonator, it doesn't have to end like this."
-
Suddenly a tendril pierces the man's skull and he drops. A new voice is heard. "Give us a host..."
-
The rest of the men open up on the tendril and radio to the ships that if they go dark they are dead and they will use a prearranged pass code to prove it is them.
-
One tendril grabs the leader, pushes him through the vent, and puts him in the cargo bay. Away from his squad. It stands before you. "Helllllllllllllllllllllllllllo......"
-
He raises his weapon ready to fire if it breathes wrong. "What the hell are you and what do you want."
-
"I. Have no name. WE. want freedom."
-
He looks at the creature before him "From what I've seen you may be to dangerous to have your freedom. If you are let go then what"
-
'Then. I help live. You will give me the means of my freedom or I will take it."
-
He narrows his eyes. "Help what live?"
-
"Our hosts."
-
He shifts his weight keeping his gun trained on the creature. "How do you select your hosts?"
-
"Thoooooose who I deem worthy..."
-
The Soldier shifts to the left a bit. " so you would take people by force?"
-
"No."
-
"So they have a choice then, and why were the crew so afraid of you?"
-
He smiles a toothy smile "Their sacrifices have helped me learn about this cycle. I was in a stasis pod and they released me. I hungered.
