Bren looked around; so far Somah and Paulsen found some supplies, most likely items that were taken along with people. Toshiro was meditating on his own, Bren remembered where he saw a guy like him, it was in history class and he heard about the Samurai, but he didn't have his sword which raised plenty of questions. Tony had found some cigarettes and proceeded to smoke them, he muttered about how he wanted cigars but they would do. Elliot was busy checking medical supplies and he found that using biogel that they found on some of the alien corpses that he could improve it, albeit a few side effects but still. Bren didn't see Sally anywhere which was a problem, as she was pretty much the smartest in this situation.
"Hey Paulsen have you seen Sally?" Bren asked him
"I think I saw her take that….uh what you call it, Teleborter?" Paulsen said pointing to the activated circler teleporter
Bren walked onto the glowing teleporter and he felt like he was launched into the air at 500 miles per hour. He reappeared in new area where he saw three steel (he thought they were steel) doors, one of them was opened and he saw Sally messing around with some wires, she was on her knees among refuge and garbage, it seemed to be some sort small garbage chute or something
"What an incredible smell you discovered" Bren said to her startling her
"Yikes, don't scare me" Sally said continuing with the work
"Look lets head back" Bren said
"Hold on, I want to try something" Sally said as she connected two more wires and with a spark the doors behind them shut
"Please open the door" Bren requested but then he felt the small room go down
"Here we go" Sally said giggling, Bren was worried
The side opened up and they saw out of the window a strange man in green armor, he had a visor on, and he just got shot by an alien, he could have sworn he heard an alien shout "Demon"
The window shut and they went down further, they heard some mooing and when the window opened Sally shouted "Cows, we got cows!"
Bren was a little confused, those weren't cows, they were two headed Brahmin as Rick pointed out back in Megaton
The windows shut again and they went down further, the window opened and they saw six aliens looking at them
There was a slight pause as both parties stared at each other for what felt like five minutes, but was really 5 seconds
"Gry Berta deo gry" One of the aliens shouted as they pointed their weapons at Bren and Sally, before they got shot the window shut and they went down
"That was close" Sally said as they stopped once again
"I'm going to check and see where we are" Sally said as she climbed out the window
"Wait Sal-" Before Bren could finish the window shut tight and the room went down, but it was much faster than before, it sent Bren to the ground and the next thing he knew the floor opened and he and about 10 pounds of garbage fell into an even larger pile of junk
"Ohhh my leg" Bren moaned, he checked it, it was ok, but he was mad. If he got out of this, that girls should get a spanking or something for his trouble.
"Hey you ok?" Sally's voice said and Bren got up and looked at Sally, she somehow got to his level but she was on a platform
"You ok?" Bren asked trying to be a good person despite the situation
"Yeah, sorry about that" Sally said
"Well I guess we better head back the way we came" Bren said
"Not unless your Captain Cosmos with a jetpack" Sally said
"Captain who….never mind, I guess I will try to get out on my own" Bren said looking around, he saw a passage out of the area and limped out, his leg wasn't broken but it hurt like hell, he was going to need to find a stimpack
He looked around and saw a large floating machine, it was a robot but it wasn't like the ones down on Earth, it turned to Bren and it stared at him, and without warning charged at him slamming him into a wall, not so much that it hurt but it was going to leave bruise
"So that's how you want to play huh?" Bren said as he shoved the machine aside and moved behind it, it turned slowly and by the time it faced Bren it got an optic scanner full of lead shotgun shells
"Gotta watch that" Bren muttered as he continued walking through the halls, he was many broken items and containers, some of which he could recognize from Earth
"Hmm, seems they been getting a lot of stuff over the years" Bren said to himself, but that train of thought broke when two aliens armed with small one handed blasters ran in, they shouted something but Bren figured it was get him, so he fired his hunting rifle at one of them blasting its brains out. He then got behind cover as the second one continued to fire, and when he hear the laser fire stop he jumped out from behind cover and shot twice in its chest killing it.
"I really need to get out of here" Bren said as he continued through the hallways
He soon saw some strange things, for starters some large devices seemed to crush some of the trash, it was an odd thing to look at
"Could they be using some of the trash as fuel?" Bren thought
Next he found a box with an overcoat inside along with a note attached to it " Give to General Chase," he had no idea who this man was but the coat was pretty warm, and in this cold metal environment it was a nice thing to have on.
"Hey Bren hold up" Sally's voice said and Bren looked around confused
"Where are you?" Bren asked trying to figure out where she is
"I'm speaking to you through some speakers I found, three aliens are right behind you, do something" Sally said to him
Bren looked around and found something useful, a frag mine, he picked it up and set it in the path way, covered a little garbage on it to mask it and he ran a little further off, sure enough the trio of aliens walked to him, two had shock batons, but the other had a rifle
"Hey Green men, can't catch me" Bren shouted and he ran off, the aliens followed and learned to look where you step, or at least they would have had they not lost their limbs and lives
Bren continued onwards and soon met up with Sally (albeit being held hostage by an alien)
The alien held an alien pistol to her head and said to Bren something, most likely a threat to stand down
"Look, I don't want any trouble" Bren said to the alien, but it seemed to anger it more as it spoke louder
"Bren, help" Sally shouted
Bren set his shotgun down and held his hands up
"See, I'm not being aggressive" Bren said calmly as to not aggravate it
The alien looked at the gun then at Bren, it called out something and two more aliens ran to his side
"Sally, now" Bren said and he made a stomping motion as the aliens grabbed his arms
Sally took a moment to understand but then she got the message and stomped on the alien's foot forcing it to let go
Bren then took down three aliens with a relative ease with his hunting rifle and then picked up the shotgun
"You ok Sally?" Bren asked her
"Yeah, thanks, you are like Captain Cosmos when he rescued Sara from the evil Xenomorphs" Sally said hugging Bren's leg
Bren smiled and tussled her hair
"Come on, we better get out of here" Bren said
"Wait check this out" Sally said pointing to a small closet sized storage area
Bren looked at the items, one thing that stood out was a sword, it looked like a Japanese sword
"Interesting" Bren said picking it up and admiring it; he was also able to grab some medical supplies that he knew that Elliot would love to have around
The two went into a nearby teleporter and made it back to the area surprising Elliot
"What the heck?" He shouted, "What happened?" He asked
Sally and Bren looked at each other
"Nothing" Both said, they both decided not to tell the others what happened, that is until Elliot noticed the coat Bren was wearing
"That coat….that looks like General Chase's" He said
"Who?" Bren asked
"Oh sorry I forgot, you see I told you I was from Anchorage, he was my general, where did you get that?" He asked
"I found it in some junk" Bren said
"I see, so I guess the aliens must have hit a supply crate or something" Elliot said and he walked off
Bren walked over to the others who were surrounding an alien
"Hey don't hurt him" Sally shouted
Everyone looked at her
"It's a worker, they don't hurt people" Sally explained
"Yeah right, I say we beat him to an inch of his life and send him to them as a message" Tony suggested
The alien pulled out a small device and everyone trained a gun on him, Bren watched as the alien spoke into it, and out of the device came out English words
"Please, don't hurt me" The box said in a monotone tone
"It can talk?" Somah asked
The alien spoke again
"In translation my name would be Lenora, please don't hurt me, listen to my words" The device translated
"Talk scum" Paulsen demanded, his pistol still trained on the alien
"I understand, I mean you no harm, my people have come to your planet to take you, they are changing your species to mutations" Lenora explained
"How so and why?" Bren asked
"Invasion is the answer, they plan to take over the planet" Lenora said, his tone seemed sad
"Wait so why do you want to help us?" Elliot asked
"What we are doing is wrong, when I heard some prisoners were causing trouble I realized it was time to help" Lenora said, Paulsen and Somah stopped aiming their guns at him, Tony still held his sawed off shotgun at him
"I wish to help" Lenora said
"Ok, first tell us what that device is" Bren requested
"This is a translator, I was able to make it so we could understand the language of your planet, in your language you call it English" Lenora explained
"I see, that seems useful" Elliot said
"Fancy toy" Paulsen said not quite understanding the science behind it
"Right, so any ideas how to stop the aliens" Bren asked
"I would recommend going into our cryogenics lab, there you could find more allies that have been cryogenically frozen" Lenora said
"Let me come" Elliot said
"Why?" Bren asked
"I might be able to properly revive them, I have some skills in cryogenics" Elliot said
"Good idea" Bren said as he walked to the pile of items, he decided to drop off some stuff he found, including the coat, but he walked pasted Toshiro he looked at the sword he held
"Uh Toshiro, is this yours" Bren asked
Toshiro opened his eyes and looked at the sword, a smile came to his face as he took the sword and examinational it
"Oh, sessha no ken! Kaeshite moraerutowa, katajikenai." He said, and he bowed to Bren
"Sumanuga, sessha mizukara korekara okorukotoni sonaeneba naranu." Toshiro said and he continued to meditate, he sword was now at his side
"You're welcome" Bren said as he an Elliot walked into the Cryo lab, Lenora stayed behind to help the others
Bren's first reaction to being in the lab was the cold
"Jeeze, how cold is this place" Bren asked Elliot
"I would say around 40 degrees, maybe 30, I'm ok thanks to my armor" Elliot said, Bren however regretted not bring the overcoat
"Right" Bren said looking around, he saw through a clear window into another room and they saw the aliens unfreezing someone
"Hey look, we better help him" Elliot said but before they could run in they saw the man use some takedown techniques to take out the aliens, they then heard the man say, "Черт зеленых человечков."
They ran in and saw the man, his outfit was strange to the duo, it was all once piece in a dark blue, the golden buttons ran down the coat, and he turned to them, his face was shallow and deep, his eyes a dark brown. His hair was short and cut, it was a dark brown.
"Кто вы?" The man asked
"Hey that's Russian" Elliot said
"Ah American soldiers" The man said
"You speak English?" Elliot asked
"Of course, tell me what year is it?" The man asked, his accent was deeply Russian, and his voice was low and serious
"I….I don't know" Elliot said
The man sighed
"Its 2277" Bren said
"Impossible, I….wait that light could it have been?" The man said to himself, he clutched his head he was trying to remember what happened to him
"I'm sorry where are my manners, my name is Aleksandr Petrokov" He said holding his hand out
Elliot shook it
"Elliot" He said
"Bren" Bren said and Alek nodded his head
"So where are we?" Alek asked
"An Alien ship" Bren said
"I find that hard to believe, but then again I seen some strange things" Alek said, he looked around and found a container, he looked inside and pulled out a strange hat, it was a Ushanka which he put on, he then pulled out a small SMG and pistol. The SMG was PPSh-41 which he reloaded with the ammo that was in it. The pistol was a TT pistol which he kept to his side, he checked then pulled out a small knife, it had an inscription on the side which Bren couldn't read because it was in Russian.
"Right, what is the plan?" Alek asked the duo…
