Chapter 2
Vent and Resin
"LT I'm entering the POC, now what?" asked Hallgins, looking around at the Computer Screens.
"I want you to check the security cameras, I want to see what our friends are doing," the LT answered.
Hallgins walked over to the nearest computer and sat down. Placing his motion tracker down so that it could still monitor the doors. Quickly tapping the Keyboard. Then an image flashed onto the Screen.
The picture was of a small hallway. Nothing seemed extraordinary. Hallgins tapped some more keys on the Keyboard. Another picture flashed up. It was of another Hallway but this picture had moving objects in it.
The objects looked like a person, no it wasn't a person it was to big and it had a huge curved head. There were many of them and they where walking on the walls.
"LT some of these buggers have gotten into Corridor A6, and they are swarming in," Hallgins informed his Commander, "looks like they don't want me to leave!"
"Hallgins switch to the camera outside the Main Airlock, Camera CA2," the LT ordered Hallgins.
Hallgins tapped the Keyboard once again and the Camera picture switched again. The new picture was of the outside of the Colony. Swarms of Xenomorphs where flooding the ground outside the Colony.
"LT, they're heading for the Northwest entrance of the Colony, and they will get in....we blew the door open to get into the Colony there," Hallgins stated.
"Fucking great. They will be able to flock in now!" the LT swore over the Radio.
Hallgins started tapping away on the Keyboard again, "LT I am going to try and access the Security fire doors. It they are online I make the system thing there is a fire and the Door's will shut and block them for a while,"
"You do that!"
Klaxons, started flashing and Alarms started to blare, " Fire detected in the North-West Sector. Closing all Fire Doors," a female voice said out of a set of Speakers, " Door FD3, 5, 6, 7 and 9 are all closed, all remaining Personal in the North-West Sector please evacuate immediately!"
"Sir how far am I from the Elevator?" Hallgins asked.
"Not to long, and you only have 15 Hours before the thing blows," LT informed him, " and it will be about 4 hours to get to the Hive because I don't want you waltzing through with limited ammo,"
"Yeah I don't want to run into another swarm and be out of ammo," Hallgins laughed nervously, "anyway where to next?"
"There is a Security Office near the Entrance of the new Hive and I want you to pop into there and fill up on Ammo before proceeding through the Hive," Lt went on, " but you will have to go through the vents!"
"And I'll get there by?" asked Hallgins.
"There is a main conjunction within the vents just down the corridor to you. Through the door on your left," LT informed Hallgins.
Hallgins picked up his tracker and held it in one hand, his MP5 in the other and proceeded towards the door. He opened the door via a panel on the wall next to the door. Carefully checking his tracker he walked down the corridor.
A few metres in front of him was the vent access. Hallgins dug his fingers into the edges of the Vent cover and pulled. It just came straight off.
Hallgins and his squad where Engineered from the strongest Animals in the Galaxy and had Superior strength then that of an ordinary Human. As well as Strength, Hallgins obtained keen senses. Sight and hearing from the Xenomorphs, smell from the Dogs.
Carefully checking that the way ahead was clear, Hallgins crawled into the vent. The vent was straight for another hour and sure was huge until it came to a small Chamber. Hallgins crawled out and looked around. There where another five vents.
"LT which Vent now?" Hallgins said.
Bleep...bleep. Hallgins looked down at the Tracker. Four Signals showed up, 'Not again,' Hallgins thought.
"LT I have four Signals moving my way. Shall I engage or proceed?" Hallgins asked.
"GO NOW! Second Vent on your left! GO!" LT ordered.
Getting on his Hands and Knees, Hallgins crawled through the vents. MP5 pointed behind him. Looking at his Tracker, the three signals where going past him but one was coming for him!
The Signals speed increased and changes direction. It was heading straight for him from the front! 10 Metres...7 Metres. Hallgins fired! The Bullets shredded the Drone in half and started thrashing.
Hallgins had to get across before the Acid burned through the floor. Hallgins crawled up to the body and crept around it! He then continued.
Bleep....bleep..bleep. The Motion Tracker was sounding. The other three signals where how heading for him! Hallgins looked ahead he was almost out of the vent! A few more metres.
He was out!
Carefully looking around, Hallgins made his way to a door on the other side of the Corridor! He saw the Xenomorphs coming out of the vents and pulled out a few grenades! Carefully, but quickly Hallgins pulled the Pins from the Frag Grenades and threw them towards the Vent!
With the explosion of the Grenade bits of Xenomorph flew around the Corridor.
Hallgins turned and opened the door to the office and walked in! There where a row of Computer Monitors and racks of weapons. Hallgins looked at the weapons: P90's and MP5's as well as many others.
Hallgins pulled out all the clips from the weapons he needed and placed them into his bag. He looked back up at the rack and noticed a very particular weapon!
"LT. I have found a Smart-gun," Hallgins exclaimed.
"Great! How much ammo?" Hallgins moved towards the gun and pulled something from it and then started looking at the devise.
"About 200 rounds! Should last me a while!" Hallgins stated.
Putting his other weapons over his Shoulders, Hallgins quickly put on the supports for the Smart-gun. Soon his was ready to go.
"Sarge before you go, check the Cameras!" LT ordered.
Hallgins stepped towards the Monitors and switched one on. He pressed the keyboard and the images changed, "nothing here LT!"
"OK. To get to the Elevator, you will have to go through the Hive," LT informed Hallgins, "and the entrance to just down the Hall!"
Hallgins stepped back into the corridor or took a left. He came to a hole in the wall. Covered in Resin! Looking down at his Tracker Hallgins walked into the Hive!
