[b]The troops move through the hallway, scanning for any signs of life [/b]

-
They don't seem to find any, though there are many signs of a fierce struggle. Bodies and bullet casings are scattered across the ship, strange burns and clawmarks cover the walls. They finally find a locked blast door, there appears to be atmosphere on the other side.
-
"Let's try to clear this hallway. Get it safe." [b]The group split up, heading to any potential ways of cutting off the hallway from the space. One of the men found a keypad along a wall, wired to a doorway and began hacking into it, until he found what he needed and the doors closed, making the hallway safe [/b]
-
The doors open, revealing a pitch black room. A horrendous smell meets their noses through the masks.
-
"Hello?! Anyone in here?" [b]They take cover outside, on the sides of the doorway into what they hope to be the bridge [/b]
-
There are bodies and pieces of bodies everywhere. It looks like a last stand was made in this hallway. There don't seem to be any none UCE bodies.
-
"Shit. [b]The men moved forward, weapons raised and flashlights on [/b]
-
They arrive at the bridge. It's veen ransacked. Suddenly, a voice is heard. "Freeze! Hands where I can see them!"
-
[b]The men create a circle, flashlights pointed in each direction to light up the room [/b] "Identify yourself and we will!"
-
A man steps out from behind a consul, he wields a handgun, which is pointed at the guards. "Commander Alex Riles of the UCS [i]Defiance[/i], who are you?"
-
"Corporal Talon. EX Soldier of the dojo."
-
"Dojo? We... We made it to Tatakai?" He asks, lowering his pistol.
-
"Yeah you did." [b]The guards lowered their guns, fanning out through the bridge [/b]
-
The man seems to mutter a quiet prayer and crosses himself. "Thank goodness. Did any other ships like mine arrive?"
-
"No none have arrived. Just yours."
-
The man scowls. "So I'm the last one." He holsters his pistol.
-
"Yeah you are unfortunately..."
-
"Then I have to warn you. They're coming."
-
"Who are they exactly? The people that did this to you?"
-
"Yeah, we don't know what they call themselves, but we call them corruption. They're coming this way." He tells them, clutching his wounded side.
-
"We'll be ready for them then."
-
"You don't understand... You need to run." The man tells them.
-
"Why the hell do we need to run?"
-
"Because they've destroyed worlds a lot stronger than Tatakai."
-
"Yeah well they haven't see Takatai."
-
"No, they've seen much worse." He doubles over, coughing blood.
