I stand to my feet. Damnit....gotta get Aero to a med bay... I put Aero into a fireman's hold and slowly start making my way down the darkened hallway. I pass a mark on the wall: 19E. 19E...there should a med bay not to far away from here. I could not believe my luck. Med bay 19 was specially outfitted to accommodate engineers. As engineers we faced countless dangers and radiation was just one of them. The med bay was fitted with a special chamber that did some medical voodoo that I didn't understand and reversed the effects of radiation. If the damage wasn't too bad... I continued down the hallway...I fancied myself hearing the sick-wet sound of Plague behind me. However every time I turned around nothing was there. It's just my imagination...nothing there you idiot...just keep on moving!!!! I looked ahead of me. A long light shone in the distance. The med bay! The med bay was on separate power from the rest of the stations due to it's key role in saving peoples lives. With renewed hope I moved forward. I happened to look to my right and I say a room labeled "equipment." I should get myself some sort of weapon...god only knows what's around here or in the medical area. Cautiously I entered the room. On the walls were racks of plasma cutters, pulse rifles and line guns. I looked at my RIG. It was a mess. My HUD has destroyed, my health indicator had broken a long time ago and it was filled with cuts. If I ever am in a no-oxygen zone I am a deadman. I saw several RIGs hanging in the room. I grabbed two: one for Aero and one for me. I changed into my RIG and grabbed two pulse rifles and two plasma cutters. When Aero wakes up I have a feeling he will need these. Supplied with weapons and a new RIG I continued on to the med bay. I entered slowly...the lights were on. Thank god...no more of this see-in-the-dark shit. I immediately searched the area, made sure it was clear and then locked down all the doors. Nobody was getting in. I located the radiation chamber and placed Aero inside. I walked to the control panel and activated it. A low hum emanated from the chamber. Alright. Now we see if this thing works. I sat back in a comfortable-looking office chair. I started to relaxe...it was all good...everything was under-control. "Creak" I shot up, pulse rifle in hand. The sound of metal scratching against metal came from...above. Oh shit shit shit! What's the point of locking down an area if you can still crawl through the freakin air ducts!?!?? There were numerous air ducts but none were big enough for a man-sized creature to fit though. "Crash" I spun around. On the floor was a bent duct cover. Standing on it was...a f[u]u[/u]cking child...or what was a child...it was mutilated...it had a piece of metal sticking out of it's chest...it's hollow eyes bore through me... That's messed up... I raised my rifle and fired....
