Half Life Hazard Course

Part 3

****

With power down to the Hazard Course, all the lights went out. The Security Door, was not opening. Emergency Generator was not working.

Dr Isist gritted his teeth. What was going on? One minute he was monitoring Skimmers on the course, the next, an Earthquake. The announcement system shouting out evacuation commands. All the lights went out....something must have went wrong...

"Dr Auston, get the torch..." Dr Isist said.

"Yes sir." A second later, he pressed the switch. A beam of light shown across the room.

"What happen sir?" Dr Auston blurted out, his face covered with dust.

"I don't know. But we cannot do anything till we get power back..."

"What about Skimmers?"

****

"Uhhhh where am I?" Skimmers groaned. He laid on his chest, gaining back consicious, he pushed himself up to get on his back, but was met with a wave of pain. He fell back on his chest groaning.

"Skimmers, something has happened. An accident of some kind....an Earthquake maybe but it is impossible. You have a a......just don't move. If you move, you are going to hurt yourself, I'm sending Auston down to get you out of there. I'm trying to contact the main centre hub." The Hail Speakers said. He recognised the voice of that to be of Dr Isist.

He didn't care whether Dr Isist sent help or not. He was just about to give up. He saw blood flowing from his suit. It collected as a pool just in front of his eyes. He saw his life following away, he closed his eyes and rested....

Dr Auston arrived at the weapons range, he turned into the area where the Rifle were kept and was taken aback by what he saw.

The rocks on the roof had fallen in, probably due to bad structure. But what was worst was that some of the rocks had fallen on Skimmers. The overhead lamp pole stabbed straight into him, penetrating the HEV. It sticked straight out of his back. If it wasn't for the Hazard Suit Skimmers would have been dead. Right now he was on the verge of being dead if he does not get medical attention.

"Isist. We need Med Vac here. Skimmers has been impaled!" He yelled in the radio.

"I cannot get anyone on com. You'll have to be the Med Vac, Once you get though the rest of the course, I'll be waiting with a Mini Tram at the course exit." Isist voice came though, but it was mostly static.

"Are you crazy?"

"I'm afraid you have to....Isist out."

"Shit...this ain't happening..." Muttered Auston. Auston bend down and checked on his breathing. He was breathing shallow. Pulse weak....if Skimmers survived this, it would be a miracle.

"Skimmers, I know this is going to hurt a lot. But you'll suffer worst pain than this before you get out of this shit."

Auston grabbed the pole with both his hands, and with a swift move, pulled it out...
