Chapter 3: what happens when good coffee and bad karma get together

I started running towards the elevator, and saw what had happened to most of the engineers, who had been completely burned to the bone, with blood everywhere. Good thing my wife isn't here, she would start to clean it up and complain how messy it is. As for the other engineers, well, you could say they weren't entirely dead, they were however without half a brain and limping around grunting, just like your average engineer, so they were good, and I neatly was able to pass them.

I then came up a tunnel the engineers had been working on, and heard footsteps, I thought someone was still alive, because these weren't shuffling foot steps; they were too fast for a zombie. So I ran around the corner and found something that I had never seen before, a giant alien freak, no not that part, I get that part enough at the town bar on a Saturday. I meant the part where he was walking along sipping coffee.

"Wow the coffee must be really good here"

The alien nodded his head, and handed me his cup, and I took a sip, and began to get the chitters, and handed it back to him, while he made "tsk tsk" sounds, and sipped some more. There was a awkward silence until the alien finished his coffee, brushed his mouth with a scaly, slimy arm, put the coffee on a power coupling, coughed, and then began to roar and charge me, I had to dive behind a box. I poked my head up from the box, and barely got my head down before a fireball went over my head. I then went to shoot my assault rifle, and found out; Harmen hadn't given me any clips. So as the alien got closer, I began to say my prayers, when I saw something out of the corner of my eye.

"So, you think your hot stuff, with the fireballs and everything, eat this!"

I shifted around, grabbed the blow torch on the ground, shoved it into his face with many eyes, and opened up, and the next part is too gruesome to go into details, but the main part of it is: He died.

I had to face a few more of those creatures, which I disposed of the same way as the first. I finally made it too the elevator, but I had to go into the booth to activate it. So I went in, and found Harmen, dead on the chair, so I went past him, grabbed a couple of clips for my assault rifle off the wall, and loaded one in, and went to the control panel, and the panel looked like it was designed by NASA with all the little buttons and glowy things, and a big red button in the middle.

"Oh no freaks, you aren't going to get me with the big red button, that's always the bad button when bad things happen."

I proceeded to hit an ordinary button on the left side, and all the lights went out, I hit another button, and red glowy lights came on, adding to the creepy factor.

"Damn you NASA engineers, why can't I find the button"

Then a grey slimy hand came around me and hit the big red button, and the elevator opened up.

"Oh thank yo-"

I turned around and there was Harmen, as mindless as before, but with twice the strength, and completely gray with red glowing eyes.

"Wow Harner, you look like Michael Jackson after the third plastic surgery"

The zombie then let out a horrific roar, and came after me, I managed to get my hands on his jaw, and keep it from closing, but I couldn't reach my gun, only one thing to do…….

I kicked him in the groin, and he stumbled backwards screaming and holding his….you get the idea, I then took the opportunity to grab my gun and fill him with lead.

I started to walk out.

"Don't bother to get up Harmen, I'll find my own way out, thanks for the clips, and have a nice day sleeping hoping to kill your boss"

I walked out, and onto the elevator, and clicked the button to the boss's level.
