I decide to use my long-range viewing set. I spot a small dot of red smoke. Hmmmm...that's odd. That smoke looks almost like a-...like a SMOKE GRENADE!!!! *radio* SM to base, I think I have found Aero. I am moving in now. I check my RIG, replenish ammo and make my way to the nearest airlock. I step into the airlock and close the doors. Without a sound the doors open...and the black maw of space opens up before me. Terror momentarily grips me. No! I don't have time for this shit, there is a mans life on the line. My thrusters roar to life and I jettison out of the airlock towards the colored smoke. I carefully make my way around the debris...keeping a careful look-out for Plague. I near the source of the smoke. AERO!!! I found him! I jet towards Aero and grab him. I look at my HUD and notice for the first time that my radiation levels are rising. And quickly. Damn, I gotta move. I link our RIGs systems so that our boosters work as one. I plot a course and ignite the thrusters. We hurtle back towards base. All of a sudden my left thruster explodes, spinning us off course. Shit shit shit!!!! I frantically try to steer us back on course. The base hanger doors are open so I aim for them and cross my fingers.... We are coming in to hot. This is gonna hurt!! We sail through the hanger doors and hit the wall. Hard. As we fall to the floor everything goes red and I notice my suits HUD is flashing red.
