Chapter 6 - Complications part 7

I look at her and sigh.

Move out.

I begin to walk towards the room.

You know your trespassing right? You shouldn't even be here.

(She follows her)

Im sorry.
We needed a place to go.

I'm Lynn by the way.

Shelby. I think. Thats what i was told my name was anyway.

(She nods)

@Shelby

I am guessing amnesia.
Either way it is nice to meet you.

=they arrive at the center=

ok sen arm the bomb and lets go

=We stood our ground, and we kept firing into the flood=

Jesus, it's like a Romero movie!

(Dormii uso)
=i look around, alert for any signs of combat forms=
Senox, hurry up! Let's not stay here any longer than necessary.

(narrator)
The Ship comes out of Slip-Space. Nowhere near it's intended destination. The Ships travelers come out of Cryo, Sir Nikolaus walks over to the Pilot, asking him where they are. The pilot doesn't know. The Eight foot eight giant of a man walks to the window, looking out at a world. the giant thinks to himself about what became of those left on the Tropheaum. The Azure Comet. The Black Hand knows of them. But ONI doesn't. Why? He wonders. The Transport Vessel Begins to head to a planet, in the distance, too far for a clear view. The man sighs and goes to sit down again. waiting.

Meanwhile, Matthias is re-arming the Flood-dispersion device.

=I open a comm line to Dormii=

Hey Dormii, you guys done yet? it's getting crowded here!

=A combat form leapt at me=

GET BACK YOU SPACE ZOMBIE FREAK!

=i chuckle a bit, almost giving in to hysteria, when i hear him=
You get a beer for that. And maybe? Senox is arming the device right now.

=i keep looking around, nervous=

(Senox)

=I begin working the bomb.=

@Zeru and Dormii: How long do you want the timer for?

=i look at Zeru=
5 minutes seem okay?

(narrator)
The Ship gets closer to the planet, sending out a message telling the Port to prepare a dock for the ship and it's current inhabitants. Sir Nikolaus is wandering the ship out of impatience, even though he knows that there is nothing he can do to make the ship go faster.

=i nod to Senox=
5 minutes it is.

=i comm the others=
Fall back. Fall back now. In five minutes the hive is going to die, let's see if we can't get some of these mutated whatever-the-fucks in this death as well.

=to Senox=
Arm it.

=Another combat form came at me, and I blew it's freaking head off. That was when the combat form behind me tackled me to the ground=

SON OF A BITCH!

=The thing had me pinned, and some kind of slimy tentacle tried to slam my face to pulp. I managed to grab my knife, and sliced the damn thing off=

Uh ah uh. First date. =I kicked it off= No tongue.

@Dormii and Zeru: Okay then.

=He finishes, on the bomb and then sets the timer.=

Lets go-. Why hasn't the green light gone on? This is bad...

=kicks it and it lights up=

i suggest we run that sped it up by 1 minutes so run like hell

=starts running full speed out of the hive slashing any infected he sees=

=i start running. i trigger a Banshee Scream to hopefully stall some of the infected. it works, for a second, then seems to just summon more of them=
Bad idea, very bad idea...

=i slash a form in mid-air with the gift from Senox and keep running=
Senox! You okay?

=I fire five shots into a Parasite.=

@Dormii: I'm being chased by flood, while running from a bomb, you know the ususal. So I'm really good!

=I see a huge amount of combat forms coming, including a really, really, big flood that looked like the flood version of Hulk. I hailed Dormii=

Uh, guys, are you done yet? Because I think they just sent a troll.

Good to hear this is all normal for you! Just don't get infected okay? No fatalities is how I like my fights!

=i slide under a jumping form and keep running=
Gods dammit! Where do they come from?

=comm to Jason=
Yeah, just running from the bomb right now. As for the troll, poke it's eyes out, that always worked in the stories.

=The damn Flood troll slammed a massive arm at me, and I barely dodged it=

Oh har di har har.

=I tossed a grenade at its feet, and it exploded=

Yes!

=The troll walked out of the fire, and looked pissed=

SHIT!

=He comms Jason.=

@Jason: Get a really big goat! And then find a bridge, and have that goat throw the troll of the bridge! Wait... Wouldn't the flood infect the goat...

=I continue to fight the damn Flood troll, all the while listening to Senox=

Enough with the damn jokes for fuck's sake!

=The damn thing grabbed me, and slammed me to the ground=

That's not joking, he's clueless sometimes.

=another combat form shows up in front of me. i put my arms forward and literally dive through the thing, energy blade first. i keep running, almost at the exit=

If Goats wont work... Then maybe an Egg will! But then all the horses and men will be infected... GOD DANG IT!

=I slice a Parasite in half.=

Oh great, he thought I was serious.

=I raised my assault rifle, and unloaded the whole clip into the things face=

GET. YOUR. CLAWS. OFF. ME. YOU. DAMN. DIRTY. TROLL!!!!

=It let go in pain, and dropped to the ground, dead=

=makes it out of the hive=

=i make it out of the hive as well. i continue running, however, towards the gunfire, intent on helping the others as much as i can=

Okay, the troll is dead.

=I hailed Dormii=

You guys out of the hive?

=I make it out of the Hive.=

@The Flood: STOP RUINING MY IDEAS!

=i reply=
Yea, heading your way now. Well, I am.

=i look around as i go=
No idea on the others, although i know they made it out. See anything else slightly troll-ish?

=I looked around=

No, unless you count that time I was drunk. And that was a year ago.

=I motion to the others to close on the pelican=

If you want, we'll come to you.

=i arrive at the scene of the firefight, i slow down to a stop=
Too late. I'm here. How's the armor looking? Any breaches?

=I ran a quick diagnostic=

No, I'm good. Those guys at Vigil make these things to last.

=I looked at everyone else=

Everyone good?

=All the men there gave me the thumbs up=

Good.

=I carry on running towards in the direction Dormii ran, but trip and end up rolling.=

SPINNY!

=i see a few Marines cross themselves and one throw up, but an overall okay responded to Jason=
I'm going to say they're good.

=i comm Zeru and Senox=
Hey, you guys okay?

=shows up=

ok we should leave like now

=i look behind Zeru in the direction of the hive=
Wait, where's Senox?

=I try comming Dormii.=

@Dormii: The world is upside down! Now it's back to normal... IT'S UPSIDE DOWN AGAIN!

=I walk over to Dormii=

You want me to look for him?

=to Jason=
Nah, I got him.

=i sigh and start running back towards the hive=
Senox, please tell me you are simply rolling and not going insane.

=I turn back to the ship=

Okay, everyone on get on the pelican.

=I point to four marines=

You four, stay with me. We're going to keep watch.

=They nodded, and came over to me=

@Dormii: I'm spinning! Yay! It reminds me of being drunk... I should find some alcohol.

=i find Senox and stop him, standing him up as i do so=
Come on, we gotta go.

=I stand up, barely.=

@Dormii: Why is the world spinning?

guys hurry up this entire areas about to be wiped out

=gets on the transport=

=i help him walk in the direction of the Pelican=
You are dizzy, probably. Your spinning messed up your biological balance system. Your body is trying to balance itself to gavity that isn't there.

@Dormii: Gravity sounds nice...
